It's the summer dolldrums... Roster dreams and speculations are inevitable. Let's save some server space and consolidate them in one tread. The conditions are: 1. You can propose anything that conforms to the CBA 2. Steve and Yao are umovable 3. Trades of the sort: Cato and Rice for Kobe and Fisher are prohibited. I'll start. 1. Trade MoT and Cat to Miami for Eddie Jones 2. Sign Posey 3. Split the MLE for Roberrt Horry and Antonio Daniels 4. Waive Moochie 5. Sign warm bodies for the remaining slots Rotation: PG: Steve/Daniels SG/SF: Eddie J./Posey/Rice or Nachbar PF: Eddie G./Horry C: Yao/Cato This is a team that will do damage!
keep the same team. Sign Charles Oakley. We need some toughness. Sign Lucious Harris. Lucious Harris does 2 things we lack. He plays good D and knock down the open J. He can be the 1st guard off the bench. Sorry moochie.
I loved your idea runninhorns. I second that emotion. Good post but someone who believes that we need to establish chemistry. This isn't fantasy league basketball.
Miller/ Francis/ Brent Barry Posey/Nachbar Brand/Mo Taylor Yao Ming/Cato TRADED Mobley, Moochie,Griffin, Rice. Resigned Posey
Francis Cat Posey Griffin Yao Armstrong Barry Rice Taylor Cato C. Oakley A. Daniels That's good enough until all star break - then let's see if we need to pull off some trades
Sign and trade Mo Taylor for Alonzo Mourning, sign and trade Cato and Moochie for Lamar Odom let Posey walk. Sign Speedy Claxton PG-Francis SG-Mobley SF-Odom PF-Mourning C-Yao Griffin Boki Claxton
Keep the team the same to see if Francis and JVG can make improvements within a new offensive scheme (with Francis at the point). If not... PG: Brent Barry/Hawkings SG: Francis/Mobley SF: Posey/Nachbar PF: Brand/Griff C: Yao Ming/Cato If not Brand, then Rasheed. Others on the bench... P.J Brown Oakley
How are we supposed to afford all of them. I'm assuming that we get Brand before his contract expires and not sign and trade. What if he doesn't sign an extension then?
On my franchise mode in NBA 2K3 over the 3 seasons through trades and free agency I have a acquired a lineup of: PG: Francis/J. Crawford SG: Mobley/Wesley Person SF: Nachbar/Mike Miller/Matt Bullard PF: Alonzo Mourning/Mo Taylor/Bullard C: Yao Ming/Mourning I won Defensive player of the year and MVP with Yao. Wish this was for real
This roster actually has some good ideas. It might be possible to pick up Alonzo and put him at PF. I would not trade for Miller though, he is a tweener with no defence. I like the Bullard insertions, I drank margaritas with him at the macaroni grill last week and he is done for good though. Actually I don't like the Bullard insertions, but I did drink with him up here in the woodlands. Old Bull has put on about 30 with the Cuervo. Person or Crawford would be an ideal 3rd guard but how were would get them I don't know.
alvin williams steve posey pj brown ming darrell armstrong cat rice/nachbar griffin cato i would sign both armstrong and brown to reasonable salaires and trade taylor to toronto for alvin williams and another player so salaries match.
Here are the Line-ups I want 2 have next season: 1st: Francis/Ward/Maddox Mobley/(j. Barry or Cheaney)/Hawkins Posey/Nachbar/Tmo Griffin/(Kurt Thomas or stay put with Mo) Yao/Cato/Badiane 2nd: (if trade with Portland happens) Francis/McInnis/Maddox D. Anderson/(j. Barry or Cheaney)/Hawkins Posey/Nachbar/Tmo R. Wallace/Griffin Yao/Cato/Badiane Wat can u say guys?
