[Build A Team 4.0] Discussion Thread Part 3 - I LOVE MY TEAM

[Shorty Doo-Wop]

Hey Moocow I think the 317 pick is mine

[moocow007]

Just an FYI to everyone (since we are approaching the end)...you MUST SELECT a HEAD COACH AT SOME POINT in the 13 rounds. You CANNOT USE ALL 13 PICKS ON PLAYERS. Seems common sense sure, but just in case...DO NOT want anyone picking a 13th player.

Bucks (NYStateofMind), Bobcats (Bluest), Nets (justaknicksfan) and Raptors (LeBron2NY2010) all have mail

Anyone wanna grade my team? Just so I have an idea of what to expect.

PG: Kyle Lowry/ Mike Bibby
SG: OJ Mayo/ Ray Allen
SF: Paul Pierce/ Chris Douglas-Roberts
PF: Anthony Randolph/ Glen Davis
C: Cole Aldrich/ Kurt Thomas

Win Now: 7/10

I like the Backcourt and Pierce but the bigs are way too young to succeed. They both can be really good but its a boom/bust kind of thing and I believe the one place you need some veteranship is the bigs. Good backups at the 1 and 2. Will make the playoffs and possibly win a series. Ok fits.

Future: 8/10

Mayo, Aldrich, Randolph, and Lowry all have good potential.

Cap: 9/10

No bad contracts

24/30 = 80%

And I am not doing these anymore.

I am Ra, i would like to know what you think about my team now since i've added some more pieces.

[Justdatdude]

If this was like 1996, the Suns would be unstoppable.

The best teams out West are

1. Denver Nuggets
2. Portland Trailblazers
3. New Orleans Hornets
4. San Antonio Spurs
5. La Lakers or LA Clippers (Chris Paul factor)

I would to see how my team would matchup against the Blazers. They have two good big men, but I'm not sure how their bigs would compliment each other. That would be a pretty good matchup though.


Andre Miller vs Derrick Rose
Richard Hamilton vs Mickeal Pietrus
Shane Battier vs Wesley Johnson
Chris Kaman vs Zach Randolph
Andrew Bogut vs Greg Oden

If both teams were completely healthy, I honestly think it would come down to how Wesley perform. Rose is better than Dre, but I think that would be played to a standstill. Pietrus can contain Rip, Zbo and Kaman would be an interesting matchup, and so would Oden vs Bogut. It would come down to if Wes can take advantage of the good looks he'll get from Rose/Zbo/Oden.

That would definitely be a good game.

sorry Im not doing them anymore like I said in the last sentence of justaknicksfan post. I like your moves though.

Trading Rodrigue Beaubois, plus for a legit center.

Thoughts on me drafting Luke Babbitt and Alvin Gentry as my Head Coach?

I feel than Gentry is perfect for this team because he is like Mike D'Antoni minus a little offense, and adding a lot more defense. And for Gentry's offense you need shooters just like you do in SSOL, so I feel he is the perfect fit for my team.

Hey thanks for the write up. I knew you were probably tired of judging so I asked if anyone else wanted to judge but I appreciate it anyways.

You have two legit centers..

Bynum is top 10 center in the league when not injured and Thabeet maybe hasn't been really shown in the NBA yet, but can still be a good backup, and both aren't undersized. I don't understand your logic but I guess I'll have to wait and see what move you make.

I like both moves. Gentry is the perfect coach for you. Better than D'Antoni IMO.

Also Babbit is good value that late. Nice picks.

We want a vet like Bibby and want to move up for a player.

Ra - you've manage to change the entire complexion of your team with 2 trades. Instantly better.

And on a personal note, classes start for me this week so I won't be able to spend as much time on this board. I'll probably hold off on releasing a tracker for a bit.

We should also set a day for roster locks so judging can begin ASAP after the draft and auction.

[NBA Fan 1234]

Ra, you absolutely robbed my former team lol...I love the trade you made.
