BAT 8.0 TRADE DISCUSSION (DRAFT IN OTHER THREAD) PART II

[moocow007]

Moo don't you think Evans doesn't shoot the ball well enough to play off of Deron? Evans needs to pound the ball to be somewhat effective.

Shop him...

I may play him with the 2nd unit and move West into the starting rotation.

But ok...Evans on the market. Looking for a similar caliber player...not a gaggle of lesser players.

Delonte is a pimp...

Actually West would fit the starters better. He's been a starter before, he shoots real well from 3, he's a strong defender (which makes a great pairing with Shawn Marion at the wing and Elton Brand in the paint). Evans would get his hearts desire as the primary offensive weapon off the bench and with the 2nd unit which is filled with guys that can run and finish. And my bench is defensively strong enough to cover for Evans when they go on the attack.

I think you're in a peculiar place w/ Reke as he's a ball dominant G who plays point, is good as a playmaker but moreso for himself who needs to work on his J.

Gotta find a team who has at least one shooter to play of Evans abilities.

I think you and the Knicks (I believe) should work on some type of Evans for Jeff Teague deal.

Just my opinion (although then you'd need a starting caliber 2 guard) or just find a 3rd team to take on Teague while you get a SG.

Any thoughts on my revamped squad?

Don't tell me if my trade was good or bad, i don't wanna hear that. Just lemme know what you think of my team.

[ctorres]

I do not want Tyreke Evans! I prefer Teague.

[Jose7]

Willy Jackz.. JR not available you say?

Your bench is very weak in my humble opinion.

I like the Bass/Gasol fit up front though..toughness, both guys can make jumpshots just not sure how strong they are on the boards.

Not a fan of Brooks as a starter. Jameer Nelson is solid next to LeBron who will make everyone better.

I think you need more shooting around LeBron and more size up front on the bench

[ibraheim718]

Evans would fit well with Steph Curry... I think they would complement each other perfectly.

Moo you could move Evans to the 3 as a point forward type.. keep him near the baseline, let him rebound the ball and push it. He can guard 3's.

[ibraheim718]

Evans for Allen would make more sense... but it honestly wouldn't be that fair of a trade unless there were other moving parts. However, Teague does need help facilitating in your back court something that Allen can't provide.

The starting 5 looks good... Bench is lacking... you've got a couple of guys in Turiaf and Howard that you can't really depend on to stay healthy. But the first 5 looks like they can have some really good chemistry,

I think your team looks like the 06-07 cavs.

That's what I think the Kings and Keith Smart did. Yeah I could. I could do Evans at point forward. Terrence Williams can play point forward as well.

I think with the amount of guys who can pass the ball and the athletic players I have I should be more than fine. Not too too worried about not having a so-called "3 point specialist". West can shoot from 2 and 3. Marvin Deron Williams has developed a 3 point shot. David Lee is the king of the mid range jumper. Williams shoots well from midrange. Brand has a midrange shot. Motiejunas is a 3 point shooting 7 footer. I have shooters. I have a lot of guys who can pass. I have a ton of rebounding. And I've got a bunch of strong, tough defenders.

Williams ability to set up guys cutting to the basket should work well for Evans who is a slasher. Same with Marion. Both Lee and Brand and good passers for their position. Terrence Williams is good at setting his teammates up. So is West who used to be a starting PG for the Celtics. I think I have enough to keep Evans content. And Evans probably will get a lot of burn with the 2nd unit where he'll get to attack more one on one offensively.

I think what you'll see is a lot of passing, a lot of cutting, and a lot of guys finishing strong around the basket. And I have a lot of physical, aggressive, defenders to be able to keep opposing teams working to put points up.

[Fury]

Courtney Lee and the rest of my bench other than Dunleavy are available. Looking for a 2/3.

Yeah I wouldn't give him away...I think in today's game teams are just way to dependent on 3pt shooting. All you need is a few guys who can at least keep teams honest... Deron, Delonte, and Motiejunas are decent shooters and you still can find that 1 specialist.

[CANiLIVE]

When can I pick?

[ctorres]

For whatever Teague lacks in "facilitating", I have Blake and Livingston to make up for it.

[moocow007]

When can I pick?

Based on my calculations...at 2:04am. WillyJack was the last guy that picked before his time ran out and he picked 354 at 8:04pm. So 355 had until 10:04pm, 356 had until 12:04am, 357 until 2:04am...then you.

Jameer would become Mo Williams w/ LeBron as the spotup 3pt shooter and I think that's a great fit.

MarShon Brooks I think would suffer because he's an excellent halfcourt offensive creator who'd now likely be reduced to becoming more of a defender as he'd now be playing and getting his offense thru LeBron and I don't think he'd fully excel in that role as now he'd be more of a finisher and I honestly think Burks would fit in better as the starter giving Marshon free reign off the bench.

Bass would be decent w/ Gasol as he can hit that mid range J nicely.

Gasol should benefit most as now he has someone who can penetrate and dish or someone in Meer he can kick it out to or LeBron slashing to the basket.

Not too high on your bench as the only guy I can remember is Burks (typing on my tablet can't see your sig).

Overall LeBron practically makes any starting 5 look decent so w/ a huge C upgrade offensively in Gasol you have a nice shot to win but your best chance imo would be to have Brooks Burks James PG SG SF trio on court at times as your PG spot overall is kinda suspect against better equipped PG's.

[ctorres]

When can I pick?

You're on the clock right now actually.
