Random Thoughts Thread II

The magic without Dwight are 30-35 win team. With him off the court this season they were only -0.7. You add Gasol and Bynum and they could win 45 games, which could net them the 4th seed.

I think they would definitely win 45 games, maybe up to say 48, but I think the 4 seed in an improved East will take 50 wins minimum.

And I think you're really overrating Dwight's supporting cast.

It would be similar to Lebron leaving Cleveland. You're looking at a team at least Detroit Pistons bad.

[vincecarter4pres]

I'm just saying, you pull Dwight off that team and replace him with air, I think they're literally a 20 to 30 win team.

Replacing him with Gasol(who I love as a player, if you remember in the great debates way back in the day I was on the side of the fence that preferred trading for him over Garnett) and 50 to 70 games worth of a hobbled Bynum just doesn't equate to 20 something to 30 wins IMO.

Idk VC. We managed to win 24 games with Brook and scrubs for most of the year. 20+% of our wins came on one 5-game winning streak lol. I think that version of a Magic team is definitely playoff bound.

Yes, playoff bound, but in my opinion, not top 4 seed bound.

Oh ok, I thought you were saying that with Gasol and Bynum they wouldn't be playoff bound.

[vincecarter4pres]

Nah, but Jeff thinks they'll be a top 4 seed.

It would certainly be possible, but I'm still not seeing it.

The 4th seed this year was Orlando and they had 52 wins.

The Nets should be massively improved no matter in what fashion that happens.

The Knix will be better.

The Hawks are probably going to try and make a big move.

And then Milwaukee is always a wildcard.

Milwaukee will suck just as much as they did this year. last year was a fluke.
Knicks can be better, but it's too early to tell, they still need a ton of help at the C and PG spots.
The Hawks make a big move? if anything I see them trying to get rid of Josh Smith or Jamal Crawford to try and reduce salary.

The east will be improved but the change is gonna be felt more in the lower seeds. I don't think we'll be seeing a 37 win team make the playoffs anymore.

I think the biggest flaw of our BAT run was that we didn't do it with more people from ET time. Most Minny fans are in like Germany.

If we ever start it up we should extend our hand to the Sixers board.

^ What if we do it without a SIM?

[8 Mile Ilic]

Just build a team and then judge the rosters? Or build a team and do one simulation for the entire season? The problem with the latter is that players get hurt lineups need to be adjusted, etc.

Set injuries to 0?

I never understood why it failed to be honest.

[NetsGod]

Do one simulation for the entire season. Let the CPU make the adjustments. Until playoffs roll around the corner.

Let's do another run, try to complete it just to see how it goes, if theres anything anyone can do to help I'm pretty sure any of us would be all for it, see if it's too much for you, it won't be fun if it's at someone else's expense.



May the force be with you.

I bet you'd like that.

[jeff1624]

^^ actually I said that without even thinking about my roster.

[SpeedyG]

It failed coz no one wanted to do the tons of work required to simulate the games, including the organizer =D

So let me ask a question...

What do people that want Sasha back see in him that they like?

So let me ask a question...

What do people that want Sasha back see in him that they like?

Well for starters...

1. Sasha Vujacic has inspirational hair.

2. With Sasha on the team the Nets have the inside track when it comes to attracting quality prospects from Serbia such as Milenko Tepić and Milan Mačvan. *Don't let Sasha's fallout with the Serbian national team officials fool you. Sasha is a national hero and all of Serbia loves him very much. He is like Michael Jordan of Serbia. Except he will never go bald.*

3. He's better than Stephen Graham.

4. He's better than Mario West.

5. He shot a better percentage from the field (.404) than Travis Outlaw (.375).

You've made quite the case.
