Amare Stoudemire/David West/Marreese Speights
Joe Johnson/Dario Saric/Omri Casspi

Pau Gasol(legit 7-footer with skills) is available for a starting wing. He will go to the 1st respectable offer. I will mini-amnesty him for the right deal.

Rotation -

PG - Tony Parker / Iman Shumpert / Patrick Mills
SG - Manu Ginobili / JR Smith
SF - Paul Pierce / Tayshaun Prince / Ronnie Brewer
PF - Tim Duncan / Luis Scola / Dejaun Blair
C - Tyson Chandler / Deandre Jordan / Andris Biedrins

We're looking to move Iman Shumpert for a prototypical point guard, we're willing to pair him with Scola/Blair/Brewer/Prince or even a starter depending on the point guard offered. I'm happy to deal anyone, not one of those GM's that locks players away. Usually very active so send me an offer!

[Heats_Finest]

Oh and I win the name change game too, cuz the "Pelican's" is just lame.

I'll tell you what though, their logo looks pretty sweet to me. The name might not be all that good, but they've someone managed to make a pelican look pretty attacking haha.

UTAH PIONEERS:

PG: Ricky Rubio / Jeremy Lin
SG: OJ Mayo / Nick Young / Kent' Caldwell-Pope
SF: Gordon Hayward / Carlos Delfino / Martell Webster
PF: Carlos Boozer / Jeremy Evans
C: Cody Zeller / Alex Len

4 moves made last night. Can maybe make a couple today. Looking to add more D to my starting lineup if possible. Hardest to get is Rubio, you do really need to blow me away to get him. My direction is young, so if you see a vet you want, let me know!

[Sun Scorched]

Harrington can be had for an expiring (any exp.) and $3m. Next guy get's him.

Dario Saric(#12 pick in the draft)+
Aaron Brooks+
a slew of 2nd round picks(2 in 2014, 1 apiece in 2016 and 2017)

Can somebody approve trade #185 please?

Not gonna throw the GM under the bus cause he's a cool dude, not to mention the fact that that's just not what I do but this is one reason why Black Ice as a Commish has been blatantly flawed to the point where it's flagrant but like I said I get it, take offense to the clique remark or whatever but so be it cause it is so obvious. You know what it is homie.

During NBA Draft I clearly stated Ben McClemore (on Page 3 who may or may not declare early but that's beside the point since he was on one draft Site and not another) "not eligible" was the response, yet not only do I see on above mentioned nameless GM's roster Ben McClemore (who was stated as not being eligible) but I'm seeing Glenn Robinson (who also was not on the Draft eligible roster) I'm seeing teams salaries not even being posted yet trades approved but you have the audacity to get on the LA Stars for not having his roster up to par in an attempt to block my trade.



As stated, doesn't bother me either way but wanted to point that out, meantime Grant Hill is in FL practice facility working out now w/ trainer Steve Hess as we speak.

Do what you gotta do.

My bad on signing the guys if they were not on either site when the actual draft occurred. I was looking at the sites after draft had ended and picked guys to sign. So yea, my fault if they were not there during actual draft so I removed from roster.

IF McLemore/Robinson were listed on one of the 2 sites we used then I have no idea how he/they got ruled ineligible.

EDIT - Robinson was for sure there so will keep him.

This type of comment is absolutely not needed, and does nothing but pollute the discussion thread. If you have problems with myself or BI and the way things have been handled, that can be addressed and discussed via email or AIM-- no need to publicly criticize/attack other posters.

Sorry if there have been miscommunications, but I can assure you that roster page violators are continuing to be contacted/fined, even if trades are getting approved. I don't recall the Mclemore thing, but looking back at it, it looks like you missed your pick time slot and tried to switch after being autopicked. Whether or not he was ineligible, I do not recall. Glenn Robinson was most definitely draft eligible as well.

Also, respectfully, I think "You know what it is homie" and "Don't blow it all on cocaine and hookers in the skybox" is much more offensive than the word "clique". Not sure what you are trying to prove. You've been a good and active GM, but this reactionary attacking needs to stop. If you have further concerns IM me or email me. Thanks.

I apologize, sincerely. I will immediately disband my clique of hoodlums and start treating everyone the same. I will also strive to not spend the picture of stacks on stacks on stacks on cocaine and hookers.

Again, I apologize for my weak commissioning, hopefully I get another opportunity to do so in the future and I will do better. This I promise you.

*Glenn Robinson was on NBAdraft.net at the time but that is neither here nor there. I was also blocking Grant Hill to ORL because it might shift the power balance and put me in a weaker position. In the West.

-On a serious note, I understand where you're coming from. I make mistakes here and there, and when they effect you it can seem like I'm targeting you, but I'm not. In fact the Grant Hill thing was brought to my attention by another poster, trust me I'm good enough that I don't need to have an agenda. Not cocky, just saying. Thank you for bringing errors to my attention and feel free to continue to do so, it will only improve the quality of the game and it will hold me accountable. Thanks. You built a great team btw, good work.

[DerrickNoah]

PG: Derrick Rose / Eric Maynor / Rodrigue Beaubois
SG: Marcus Thornton / Louis Williams / Jeremy Lamb / Kim English
SF: Jared Dudley / Trevor Ariza / Victor Claver
PF: Blake Griffin / Michael Beasley
C: JaVale McGee / Jordan Hill

Pretty much done. Wouldn't mind moving Rodrigue Beaubois, Trevor Ariza, and Michael Beasley for cheaper alternatives and future 1st Round PIcks. If you're interested, let me know.

No need to contact you guys privately when the offenses are happening here in a public forum. I wasn't auto-picked, picked a guy then like several guys before me switched to someone else, their's was good to go, mine wasn't which was bogus but whatever, I move on.

McClemore was on the site I visited but that's not a biggie.

The issue which isn't that deep is that I've received emails from GM's who feel the same, I'm just one who's speaking up cause it's been a standard that was set.

Previously every GM/owner had to update rosters/ wait for approval before moving on, the one guy trying to uphold the rule (which was really stiff imho) got ridiculed so he stopped, every since there has been several infractions and depending on the team owner, David Stern or Adam Silver would look the other way.

Now the Grant Hill thing which the Commish is trying to clown on happens, hence the "you know what it is" remark.

This is a discussion thread so I'm discussing it, what's the issue with that?

Guys started to quit over that KD trade but not me, I kept competing and asked those same GM's to do the same.

And @ BlackIce you could downplay the clique thing by passing it off as "disband my thugs and hooligans" babble but the fact remains there has been questionable practices going down in this OaT and other owners have seen it, too.

And for you to have a Malcom X sig I assume you should know all about someone standing up and voicing their beliefs no matter how insignificant this OaT is in the big picture and I believe things haven't been legit, not an opinion just a fact.

End of the day doesn't mean overall you've done a bad job cause you haven't (just to be clear).

[lukekarts]

Durant trade? Grant Hill thing?

I've only been playing 24 hours, someone needs to update me on the gossip! lol
