OT:Awesome you be the gm game

[Dexmor]

Rules
1.You get 1 first rounder this year 6th-30th and a 2nd round pick this year
2.You may have only 2 guys under the rookie contract and no rules against it but see if you can not take the easy way out and take Durant and Curry or Evans
3.Luxary tax is around 65 million so that is the cap about.
4.Everybody is a free agent so you can pick anybody up.
5.Must have at least 12 players.

If you can try and make a team that would have chemistry and make sense

Draft with the 6th pick Greg Monroe-about 3 million
Draft with 2nd round Willie Warren about 800,000
Rookie Contract Brook Lopez-3 million I think
Rookie Contract Kevin Love-4 million or so
Josh Powell-1,000,000
Gerald Wallace-10,000,000
Kobe Bryant-Surpise i picked him i know 24 million
Rodney Carney-1,000,000
Bell-3 million
Shawn Livingston-1,000,000
Mustafa Shukor-500,000
Lamar Odom-8 million about
CDR-1.2 million
This team is actually under 65 million by a mil or so.

Coach Marc Jackson offensive coach Jeff Van Gundy defensive coach. They are really good friends so I think they would like to work together.


The team I would have it be a running team when Livingston is in, not as much as the Suns but def a running team and a Hubie Brown team were the starters play 30-32 mins instead of 38. Use all members of bench.

C.Brook Lopez-32 mins 17 points 8 boards 2 blocks
PF.Kevin Love-32 mins 16 points 10-12 boards 4 dimes (rebounding machine)
SF.Gerald Wallace-30 minutes 16 points 7 boards 2 steals 1 block
SG.Kobe Bryant-28-30 Mins to save him for playoffs. 22-24 points 5 5
PG.Shawn Livingston-32 mins 10 points 9

Bench

C.Greg Monroe-28-32 mins 14 7 and 1.5 blocks 3 dimes
PF.Odom-32 minutes cause I play him at all 5 positions
PF/SF/SG.CDR-26 minutes a game 14 points will play 4 positions
PF.Josh Powell-Total emergency player not reg rotation
SF/SG Rodney Carney 20 mins 8 points
SG/PG.Willie Warren 15 mins 7 points 2 assists
PG.Mustafa Skukur-20 mins 10 points 2 assists
SG/PG/SF.Raja Bell-20 mins at least at 3 positions D specialist 8 points


I followed the paramaters. I didn't get any superstar under rookie contracts but did get 2 arguble future allstars. Got the best player in the game plus an allstar sf and a bunch of very cheap but quality role players that would fit imo. I think Greg Monroe will be the third best player drafted (unless Cousins isn't a headcase) and Willie Warren is a steal imo. Livingston is back and doesn't need to be very fast and athletic to be a good pg with his feel for the game and incredible passing but he still seems pretty quick and explosive this year. Big risk big reward.
I believe this team would win a championship with a big 4 the clutchest player in the game and with Greg and Odom on the bench one of the best benches to.
They would be a running team and the D isn't great but 2 all nba first defenders in Gerald and Kobe plus Bell and JVG is the defensive coach and with Brook clogging the middle and when he is out Monroe is there plus Love the boarding machine the Defense should be top 10-15.

You may judge mine if you want but make sure you do your own. It's fun and it makes you think like a gm. If you need to know how much a player makes go to hoopshype.com and click on salaries

Can any of you build a championship team (if you can with players you like like i did) staying right below the salary taxand not taking Durant-Evans-Rose although I did take Lopez and Love which are close to stars.

So go ahead.

I'll bite since I'm bored....

PG Westbrook 3.75/mill E. House 2.86/mill

SG Wade 15.8/mill Redick 2.84/mill

SF Wes Johnson 3/mill Sefolosha 2.76/mill

PF Pau 16.45/mill Kurt Thomas 3.8/mill

C Horford 4.3/mill K Perkins 4.75/mill

Bottom 3 on bench:
G Vasquez 800k
S Novak 1 mill
Ilyasova 2.1/mill

Obviously I take Wesley with the 6th pick and snag Grevious in the 2nd round. This team has it all, solid scoring, lights out defense, 3pt shooting, teriffic bench and young talent to build around. I say this team beats your squad 4-0 in the finals.

Using the 2009-2010 player salaries. Alright ill take a crack at it...

2010 Draft 1st round pick- Greg Monroe- 3.00 Mil
2010 Draft 2nd round pick- Avery Bradley- 800K
2009 Draft 1st round pick- Stephen Curry- 2.71 Mil
2008 Draft 1st round pick Kevin Love- 3.40 Mil

FA's
Kobe Bryant 23.03 Mil
Lebron James 15.78 Mil
Joakim Noah 2.45 Mil
DeJuan Blair 850K
Marcus Thorton 457K
DJ Mbenga 959K
Luc Mbah a Moute 736K
Mike Taylor 500K

Starting Line-up
PG- Stephen Curry
SG- Kobe Bryant
SF- Lebron James
PF- Kevin Love
C- Joakim Noah

Bench
Greg Monroe- F/C
Avery Bradley- PG/SG
DeJuan Blair- PF
Marcus Thorton- SG
DJ Mbenga- C
Luc Mbah a Moute- SF
Mike Taylor- PG

All for about 55 Million. Left Some extra to give Lebron and Kobe their extensions. This team would be winning championships for years to come.

This topic bored me.

Star 24 now that your Bobcats are out of the playoffs you have a lot more of time on your hands it appears. They really stunk it up I thought they could make a run in the playoffs. I was hoping they'd match up with Boston first round.

[Dexmor]

I appreciate the responces and I can see where you were going but none of you followed the rules. 1 st round pick not top 5 1 2nd round pick and only 2 rookie contracts and no Durant-Evans.

Let me put the rules again

Rules
1.You get 1 first rounder this year 6th-30th and a 2nd round pick this year
2.You may have only 2 guys under the rookie contract and no rules against it but see if you can not take the easy way out and take Durant and Curry or Evans
3.Luxary tax is around 65 million so that is the cap about.
4.Everybody is a free agent so you can pick anybody up.
5.Must have at least 12 players.


If you follow these rules the game will be really fun. If you have a problem with the salaries hoopshype.com/salaries and if a guy is a free agent like Bell you can just put him at 2-3 million or so cause we all trust each other and know about what a free agent is worht.

As for the Bobcats, there is a chance im moving back to NY which means I won't get Bobcats games anymore. Will be a sad day. I would have to be A Laker fan and go to Nets games and probably have them as my 2nd team and go to there games unless league pass is free. Lakers always first though unless they trade Kobe to the Clippers and Gasol to the Warriors and screw over everybody like the Knicks did.

Dude, your rules are (Please Use More Appropriate Word). How are we supposed to know who a 6-30th pick in the first round will be when the draft hasn't taken place yet? Also, you say only 2 rookie contracts, yet you have 4 people on rookie contracts (Greg Monroe, Willie Warren, Brook Lopez, Kevin Love).
