Don't make it easy like Kobe or Hakeem or Shaq...try to think outside the box for what you have seen the SIM value and then a player that was out of the league before we started our SIM.

I feel like early in his career Josh Smith would be interesting a wing that blocked nearly 3 shots a game with 1.5 steals and his rebounding at the wing spot would be someone I think would thrive.

Anyone else people can think of?

Greg Oden woulda been a problem in the SIM. :lol:

Oden's an intersting one...that 2nd year he avg 11 and 9 with like over 2 blocks. He avg like 4 fouls in less that 24 mins so he would have fouled out of every game though :lol:

Someone like a Bruce Bowen 3-D specialist would be an underrated player archetype that would be fun to add to the team

A PG who goes under the radar because he had sort of a funky game visually was Andre Miller. Super solid do it all PG would be a nice addition as well

Marcus Camby could have been a Sim monster. Always a very good player but his defensive stats exceeded his impact.

Eddy Curry would have been an effin BEAST

Actually, yeah.

Some of those PHX amare seasons would have been a sim monster. He also took like 9 fouls a game.

On that note, there's always the fantasy monster Marion.

Curry available for the right price.

Don’t have much else to trade outside of $1 guys Aldama & Pippen Jr I’m looking to keep but other guys could be had

Fat · Post #1276 » by **Fat** » Sun Jun 8, 2025 2:59 am

Scratch that ^ Curry & Aldama gone

Post #1277 » by **Capn'O** » Sun Jun 8, 2025 5:45 am

Sooooo... looking for trade options probably doesn't align well with rosters at this point.

All defense teams look normal this year. Makes me sad…
