Oh thank you. That's one less Team (the Rockets) I have to worry about now. Rockets are now out of my Top 5).

I know it's only one mans opinion, but this is like the worst thing to hear after you make a trade. Especially one as big as this. :lol:

If someone had the spreadsheet completely updated, I would give my opinions on some rosters if people wanted my opinion. Problem is the spreadsheets aren't completely updated.

Denver Nuggets

PG: Derrick Rose/Delonte West/Sebastian Telfair
SG: Mickeal Pietrus/Reggie Williams
SF: Wesley Johnson/Richard Jefferson
PF: Zach Randolph/Reggie Evans/Joe Smith
C: Greg Oden/Marcin Gortat

Head Coach: Rick Adelman
Salary cap 2010: $59,267,132 (excluding Joe Smith, Delonte West, and Telfair. I don't know their salary)
Salary cap 2011: 41,161,108
Average Age Of Roster: 26.6

Plan: My plan after my first two picks (Rose and Randolph) was to build a team that can shoot, defend, score, and rebound. I wanted a team that can push the break, as you can see by the amount of good athletes on the team, and I wanted a team that can also execute in the halfcourt. As you can see, there are some quality shooting players surrounding Zach Randolph and Derrick Rose. I feel that I met every challenge that is required to build a winning team for the present and the immediate future. I covered everything that is needed to win as far as the basketball court is concerned, by having no "weakness" though I do have "concerns" such as Oden's knees. Without putting the product on the floor, I believe my team would be viewed on paper as a team that can win a championship immediately, with youth that has amazing upside, and the necessary cap space to make this team even better in the near future.

That is my final team right there. Opinions are wanted. I'll give my honest opinion on your team if you want one. Post an updated roster of your team if you want opinions on your team.

I love my squad. But I can still use a shotblocking/athletic PF. Anyone dangling a similar player get at me lifeillz@gmail.com

Check your email shorly. Not a PG or SG, but I think it's a very fair deal and balances your lineup a lot better.

Nevermind, you don't have the player anymore.

, Indeed. He (ctoress and the Rockets) were in my Top 5, until this Trade. He had arguably one of the best Frontcourts in this BAT, one in which I made sure my FrontCourt could match or best. Unloading Boozer for Nene (a HUGE downgrade), just to James Harden was a bad move IMO, and on top of that he also gave up a decent Prospect in Brewer.

Props to LJ for making a MARVELOUS trade my man. You've now moved INTO my Top 5. Congrats!

Still looking to deal Jared Bayless. Something comparable talent wise at another position (preferably a 2 or a big). No, I don't want free agent guys.

Will try to check rosters in a bit.

Knicks1214, recheck your email. New trade offer!

Can I drop Michael Finley and if so, how do I do that? lol

NewEra · Post #32 » by **NewEra** » Mon Aug 30, 2010 5:25 pm

Hornets could possibly deal a combination of 2 or 3 of the following players for an upgrade at the starting Power Forward position.

Lou Williams, Amir Johnson, Shawn Marion, Iverson, Parker, Rautins.

Yes, you certainly can. He'll be "Waived", Salary Counted, and your next Player you choose take his Place.

What if I can't find his salary anywhere? I know he was on the Celtics last year, but he's not on the list of players on hoopshype.

We use both ShamSports (which takes precedence), and Hoopshype. Check the Celtics (real live ones).
