PG: Ramon Sessions / Darius Morris
SG: Alec Burks / Daequan Cook
SF: Quincy Miller / Al Farouq Aminu / Quincy Pondexter
PF: Ryan Anderson / Tyrus Thomas / Tony Mitchell / Jeremy Evans
C: Derrick Favors / Meyers Leonard /Marreese Speights / Cole Aldrich

Still not terribly happy with the look, have too many bigs that need PT, would like to upgrade somewhere, Favors/Anderson/Burks/Leonard are pretty hard to get.

Jason Terry / Jason Richardson / Hedo Turkoglu / Samuel Dalembert on the block for a power forward or small forward, either together as a package or separately.

None of my current talks are going anywhere, so all the below bolded players are on the open market:

John Wall [38] / Derek Fisher / Darius Johnson-Odom
JJ Redick [30]/ Gary Neal [28] / Anthony Parker
Paul George [34] / Shane Battier [14] / Jeremy Evans / Ryan Gomes
Kevin Garnett [28] / Nikola Mirotic [20] / Jeff Pendergraph
Roy Hibbert [32]/ Zaza Pachulia [16]/ Hasheem Thabeet

Wanting a natural Small Forward back. Must be pretty good & youngish, unless it's someone like Paul Pierce.

I'll take back bad salary if it gets me someone really good. Fisher, Zaza, Ebanks, Pendergraph and my mins all expire to help me achieve that goal.

The Wizards are now officially shopping Anthony Davis. Get your offers in, and please no low-ball proposals.

Contact: hartford.whales@yahoo.com

Point Guard Isaiah Thomas / Cory Joseph / Boobie Gibson / Telfair
Shooting Guard Le'bryan Nash / Evan Fournier / Bufford / Ellington / Leslie
Small Forward Harrison Barnes / Jan Vesely / Gerald Green / Outlaw / Raja Bell
Power Forward Patrick Patterson / Donatas Motiejunas / Magnum Rolle / Hakim Warrick / Sheldon Williams
Center Nikola Vucevic / Jon Leuer / Glen Davis / Jeff Withey

Underlined are all expiring, totaling ~15 million so if you have an ugly contract you want to move lets play lets make a deal. Ellington and Raja Bell are decent players too.

Bold are very very easily movable...

Also, would consider rolling some youth over to pg or center. Have a handful of TPE's, and a considerable warchest of future picks.

hello fellas, I survived vegas an am back (but a little behind and slow!)

remember that tonight at midnight EST is the start of the season and everyone must be between 12-15 players, and you must sign your rookies. Any trade posted after midnight EST must stay withing limits. If you are outside the 12-15 player limit at midnight you would need to get within limits before the trade can be posted, not as a result of the trade. But anything posted before midnight is ok

I will follow up later with the rest of the schedule. Seems everything was ok while I was away and THANKS! for everyone that helped out

warriorfan can you please contact me, or explaine to the entire league why you are switching players between your 2 teams? Wade is in Sac, not LA and other things are incorrect. you can not tradde with yourself (not that you posted a trade) but someone switched players. Please explain

Think he just got confused by the looks of it, I think he posts everything on his phone.

Toronto has more rotation-quality bench players than minutes to give them. Welcoming offers in which I'd send out two good backups for one better one, or send out a backup for a future pick.

Goran Dragic
C.J. Watson
Corey Brewer
Marco Bellinelli
Chase Budinger
Andre Kirilenko
Darrell Arthur
D.J. White
Ekpe Udoh
Hamed Haddadi

LA Lakers putting Kobe Bryant on the block for 24 hours. Not necessarily going to move him, but if I get a good offer I will.

Remember Kobe is still playing great basketball, despite the odd bad shooting night he's leading the league in scoring.

Just make the deadline a week from today.

SamBone · Post #796 » by **SamBone** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 11:21 pm

here is what everyone agreed to, and this is how things will finish out

March 20 – start of reg season, all teams must be within roster limits, draft picks need to be signed or they are in Europe for the season
March 23 - Trade deadline is midnight EST
March 25- final rosters/writeup needs to be done (if you don’t post a final roster/writup you will not be ranked)
March 26- March 27 rankings need to be sent in (if you don’t send in a complete ranking, you will not be ranked )
March 29 – winners announced and head to head playoffs will start

Here is how the rankings will go
OVERALL BEST JOB - rank the top 10 teams from 1-10 (1 being the best overall job the GM did). You judge the current team vs real life, consider fit, salary for the market, and anything else you can think of. This GM will be named the "winner" of this round, and be given choice of team next game (if one will exist)

team you rank 1 will get 10 points, 2 will get 9 and so on. You will be given an 11 for completly sending in rankings for all 3 categories)

FUTURE - rank the top 5 teams from 1-5 (1 being the best) for how the team is built for down the road. Current prospects and picks owned, plus upcoming cap situation matter here.

TEAMS FOR A TITLE- this is a new fun twist for all the teams that tryed building winners, everyone that sends in a ranking will be asked to list the top 8 playoff teams from the EAST and the WEST. The average ranking will be the seed and the teams will be matched up head to head. You can post your rotation and a brief point or 2 then people will vote on a winner and that team will advance just like the NBA playoffs. This is simply to see how teams match up against others.

RANKINGS WILL ALL BE EMAILED TO ME, THEN I WILL POST AFTER ALL ARE IN. This prevents people from voting others bad since they voted you bad.

We're going to need a commish for the upcoming game, so if you want to throw your name into the hat do so now.

lukekarts · Post #798 » by **lukekarts** » Wed Mar 21, 2012 10:45 am

Indiana

John Wall [34] / Gary Neal [18] / Darius Johnson-Odom

Wilson Chandler [34] / Shane Battier [14] / Jeremy Evans
Kevin Garnett [28] / Nikola Mirotic [20] / Jeff Pendergraph
Roy Hibbert [32]/ Channing Frye [16]/ Jeff Foster

Wanting to move Channing Frye, Rudy Fernandez, Pendergraph, Evans etc for something different / cheaper if I can.

Houston
Point Guard Isaiah Thomas / Cory Joseph
Shooting Guard Le'bryan Nash / Evan Fournier / Bufford
Small Forward Harrison Barnes / Jan Vesely / Gerald Green / Outlaw
Power Forward Patrick Patterson / Donatas Motiejunas / Jon Leuer
Center Nikola Vucevic / Glen Davis / Jeff Withey

I think my team has actually managed to come through and look pretty decent, but I would be open for some roster consolidation or perhaps a minor tweak. Have 5 1sts next year and 11 over the next 3 so can definitely sweeten a consolidation offer. Definitely targeting youth in any deal, but also can absorb a bad contract with incentive.
