Im sorry if anyone thinks that 1, 3, 5 is better then westbrook, harden, ibaka. Then please quit the gming league. I will give you the benefit of the doubt and say davis is everything everyone thought he would be, ok so basically he's ibaka plus 6 pts, ok so if he just traded 1 for ibaka I would give him the edge, but the idiot didnt, he traded a top 3 pg in the league for who, lilliard? barnes? any chance at all that any of those guys are better then westbrook, if you even think yes they are you should quit life, ok so now we go to the 5th pick for harden 6th man of the year, if he was a starter on any other team he would average 20, great per. How many people at 5 do think will average 20pts per game there rookie year hell better yet there career. I would say lilliard might his rookie year thats maybe it, barnes is on a team with curry and thomson so he wont, mgk is a defensive player so he wont. The guy is a complete idiot, most rookies dont pan out and even if they do it is doubtful that they are the caliber of players that he gave up, so basically he gave up a team that went to the finals for what cap space, and yall are saying that its not such a bad trade, c'mon people
Ohh and I forgot that he took on Emeka's contract, so all that cap space he freed up, yea he actually didnt, harden and ibaka dont get paid till 2013 2014 and westbrook gets a 8 mil pay increase which is less than emeka gets paid. So again everything that guy did is completely r****ded. And dont get me started on the warriors trading curry for isiah thomas, jason thomson, and 14. That isnt as bad but that is pretty awfull
I'm sure he can propose a buyout for Okafor. Harden/Ibaka get paid in 2013/2014. It is smart to get rid of harden/Ibaka now because it will be harder to get someone to take on 2 max contracts next season. Obviously, this isn't really GMing. It is more getting the best players who put up the best stats. It is like fantasy basketball. The guy made decent GM moves and could come out with a lineup of Lillard/Beal/Durant/Davis/Okafor. Looks good to me. Of course, because this is less GMing and getting guys who put up stats, they will probably backfire. Presti will have to do something with Ibaka/Harden eventually just like this guy did. It is likely that he has to let them walk because he can't afford them. This guy traded them for top 5 picks. The only thing he messed up on was trading Westbrook.
Demarcus Cousins, Ricky Rubio (if not 20 ppg at least 15 and 10 career), Kevin Love, Brandon Roy (6th pick), Dwyane Wade. How about you do your research before making dumb comments. 1,3, 5 in previous drafts: Wall, favors, cousins Griffin, Harden, Rubio Rose, Mayo Love This is 3 of the last 4 drafts I think he'll be fine
pssh... i regret trading my 3, 5 for Harden and 10. I was preparing an offer for westbrook, then the trade happens.. damn
That was dumb since the thunder were offering harden for the 3 alone. Beal is gonna be a stud. So is lillard who you could have had as well
I don't know. We aren't sure on those rookies. Harden is proven star and really cheap. I was able to flip #10 for josh smith so im not that mad :grin:
I won't be able to keep up with this for multiple years. I had a young rebuilding team. I didn't know this was like fantasy basketball with a predetermined team.
It's no big deal. I joined for the realistic experience of running a team and I think this is something I can enjoy for a long time. Gives me a chance to mold the team into my own image as well.
I took over the Bobcats, if you want I will be more than happy to still listen to your advice on the direction of the team. You can be my assistant GM so to say haha.
Yahh. I'd like to build a team in a long run. Draft starts 2 days from nowz should be fun. I was hoping to land superstars in free agency :grin:
I used to be the bobcats and I accidentally pressed accept to a deal regarding the number 2 pick. I am sorry for that :grin:
Yeah lol I was excited to set my draft board then I realized I only have the 2nd round. Gotta see if I can McGuyver my way back into the 1st round.
