Anyone want the insurance covered contracts of Mobley(9.5) or Harpring(6.5) or TPE 3.8 mil?

I am interested in Expiring contracts and 2010 picks(willing to trade 2011 picks). Also interested in consolidating picks(eg 2 2nds for late 1st).

Once free agency begins we will be exploring many sign and trade opportunities. If any of the superstar free agents are considering bolting, we have the pieces to ensure that the team that may lose them gets a great return rather than nothing. We are very confident that we can keep Amare Stoudemire with a long term core of Nash/Roy/Oden/Okafor/Batum/Turkoglu, but we are open to sign and trade opportunities with him.

Please email me if you are not picking up a team option on someone.

eg. Rookie scale contracts that have team options on them.

or players that have Unguaranteed deals that will become fully guaranteed if not waived before the draft begins.

eg. Carlos Delfino


same goes for qualifying offers, please say you are not giving them their qualifying offer. This will make them an unrestircted FA otherwise they will be a rfa.

Time to show off our teams eh? :D

Ty Lawson has been remarkably efficient off the bench for Denver, averging 9.1 PPG, 3.4 APG on 51.6% shooting (43.8% from 3)... and in 8 starts, he averages 15.9 ppg (.558%) & 6.1 assists...

Wesley Matthews put up 18 points on 7-9 shooting last night...

Rashard Lewis, despite a relatively poor season by his own standards, is averaging 15PPG and shooting 39% from 3...

Lamar Odom is 0.1 RPG from averaging a double double, in just 31 minutes...

Andrew Bynum is averaging 15.1 PPG, 8.3 RPG and 1.4 BPG in 31 minutes as 3rd option on his team, and is shooting 57%...

I won't carry on, just be nice :lol:

^I will play...

LAL has upgraded the 4 starting spots surrounding Kobe. The bench however will have to wait til FA to get sussed.

Bogut is playing only 32 minutes per and is putting up 16ppg, 10.5rbs, 1.8ast, 2.3blk and is 4th in the league in charges taken. He has stepped it up big time over the last couple of months and has the Bucks at 7th seed, 8-2 over the last 10, and 6 wins in a row. He will not be seeing anywhere near the double and triple teams he has seen in Milwaukee.

Deng is also playing great ball and is sporting 18.2ppg, 7.5rbs, 2.1ast, 1stl, 1blk, on good FG and 3FG%s. Between Deng, Bosh, Bogut we have a very long front court that rebounds up a storm and are able/willing passers. Deng's D, is not on Artest's level but is still quite good while the rest of his game is better. He should benefit greatly from the surrounding talent and winning culture.

Hinrich has seen lower FG% since Rose arrived but is shooting good from downtown. Not having to guard and be guarded by SGs should help dramatically. His D is still good and he is much better than what I started with at PG. We expect him to get back to his pre Rose efficiency playing alongside Kobe in the back court and on such a talented squad coached by Phil.

Bosh is kicking ass this year as well putting up 24.5ppg, 11.40rbs, 2.3ast, 1.1blk on great percentages. The combo of him and Bogut compliment each other perfectly and IMO work as a tandem much better than Pau/Bynum.

This team isn't built for flashy name recognition, it is built so all the pieces play off each other. I foresee a team that can steamroll on both sides of the court and is built for titles.

All in all I expect we will have a very low pick but are still needing to improve our bench. Can't wait til FA rolls around.

:D

OK my turn

in the past 10 days DWade has averaged only 8 ppg, no longer making him a top target for others to sign

Your starting lineup is great, probably the best in the game, but your bench is one of the worst. Still, I gave you a good ranking :) Bogut has been a beast this year, better than Bynum and probably pushing for 2nd best Center judging him on all round play.

Liar! Wade has averaged less than 2PPG in the last 10 days, in 1 game he scored 8, in the other 4 he scored 0 :lol: But IMO as Heat fan, if Wade left that team, he would probably get shot.

My bench is definitely in need of major improvement but that should be solved come FA. At least Maxiell is finally starting to look like his old self. He will be fine as my 4th big but as my 3rd, not so good.

Oh yeah, been watching a lot of Top Gear lately. :)

email rankings, i dont want people rankings other people low because they may have ranked them low.

you are rankings teams 1-29 based 100% on their depth chart, not how well of a job the gm did dumping salary or getting young guys.

if a team can beat another team then they are ranked higher simple enough.

also i will be removing the most extreme values (determined by me, not mathimatically)

if I have rankings of a team say 12-18 thats ok.

if i get a ranking of 2 or 28 it will be removed.


so far 6 sets of rankings have come in.

one value for a team so far ranges from 6 to 23 which i think is a little ridiculous. The other values for that team are 9, 9, 10, and 8.

6, 8, 9, 9, 10, 23

Hope you understand why I will be eliminating the 23.
