Who will play defense in your team? Only Ariza is an above average defender

I made a lot more changes than just adding Ariza. He was just one addition, and there was no copying involved when I made the addition; he simply fit what I was looking for.

SG - O.J. Mayo - $4.1mil
SF - Kelenna Azubuike - $3.1mil

C - Dwight Howard - $15.2mil

PG - Anthony Carter $.8mil
GF - Rodney Carney $.8mil
FC - Andray Blatche $3mil

Total $44.9mil

This team will suffocate you with D and destroy you in every possible way on O.

1 rookie deal besides Mayo, no players from the same team.

Azubuike would get totally owned on defense and offense. That dude is 6'5, you have a huge defensive hole at the 3 spot lol. Also, Blatche is still on his rookie deal, you lose. By the way, all those salaries added is 46.9M.

I have built the perfect team, offensively and defensively, along with the 3 other very useful rotation players.

PG- Devin Harris - 8.4M
SG- Brandon Roy- 3.9M
SF- Andre Iguodala- 12.2M
PF- Carlos Boozer- 12.6M
C- Marc Gasol- 3.3M

6- Jason Williams- 1.3M
7- Bruce Bowen- 2.0M

Blatche is not on his rookie deal this is his 5th season in the league.

Blatche signs extension - 2007

and

Buike can play SF just fine and help spread the floor like crazy with his killer 3 point shooting. Dude is strong and not easy to back down either. No need to get caught up in player height just for the sake of it, he is only 1 inch shorter than Iggy and sports 13 more lbs of muscle.

and the math is correct, speaking of which, J-Will and Big Ben only make .8mil this year.

1. No, the vets minimum is 1.3, they can't be making 800K.

2. Your team is still over the limit on price.

3. Buffy the Vampire slayer is hot. I think she's ugly now though.

Any recent pics on Sarah Michelle Gellar?

Post #20 » by **roc** » Mon Nov 9, 2009 8:42 pm

1. The team only pays 800k the league pays the rest so for the purpose of this game they would only count as 800k. Besides, the OP said to use the salaries listed on shamsports which also happen to be 800k.

2. How do you figure? 15.8 + 15.2 = 31 + 3.1 = 34.1 + 4.1 = 38.2 + 2.1 = 40.3 + .8 = 41.1 + .8 = 41.9 + 3 = 44.9

3. I didn't look up any recent pics of SMG when I made the sig so not sure how well(or badly) she may have aged. She looks damn fine in the shots I used though and that was all I cared about when making it.
