Harrison Barnes - Worry about your own team. Just bringing it to the surface since everyone has to follow the same rules and yet that slides, but in the past when others have tried that DC format they got spoken to. I'm sure Ray noticed, considering he's the one who inputs DC's... |

Fixed. Not sure why its a rule. If I want a player to get more minutes, then he should get those minutes... but whatever.

When you do stuff like that, FBB will automatically fill players in regardless of position. So you could have a PG playing PF or vice versa. Players can only play so many minutes fouls, stamina, etc. |

if you really want to go into it, putting a starter at 3rd string makes no sense either. But 90% of the GMs here do it, so whatever.
PF: Love/Traylor/Love
so if Love gets injured, Traylor steps in as the starting PF. then who moves into the 2nd string? the 3rd string guy. But oh wait, it's the injured normally-starting PF, so the CPU inserts a random player there too.
just sayin.
No problem with this:
C: Dirk / Xue / Moiso
PF: Bosh / Powe / Moiso
ensures that if Bosh gets hurt, Powe starts, and Moiso is the backup. or same with Dirk, then Xue starts, Moiso becomes the backup
C: Yao Ming / Sofoklis Schortsanitis / Vladimir Stepania
PF: Robert Swift / Sofoklis Schortsanitis / Chris Andersen
ensures that if Yao gets hurt, Sofo starts, then Vlad is the backup, etc. (this format also gives Sofo more minutes)

I'm actually disappointed Ray didn't step in and say/do something. That trade made ZERO sense, especially with such a suspect future. we haven't had a trade committee-worthy trade in a while, it didn't even really dawn on me that Conley wasn't that good. yeah, I dunno clips. what the heck... Yeah I didn't mean to put you on the spot or anything. To be honest, we all have grown to trust the group of GM's here to not make nonsense deals. Sometimes they slip by. What can we do to make sure deals like these don't make it through as easy?  ..... |

Im only going to say one thing to settle how I view the difference between Conley and Rodriguez...
Conley right now is putting up essentially identical numbers (not including shooting %) as Sergio did in his second season for me. The difference then, you may ask? Sergio had been through TWO Dleague camps and could still only put up those numbers, +16 into him and thats all he could give me. Conley has already matched Sergio's career high for assists in a game of 13, and has beaten his career high single game scoring record... WITHOUT dleague camps. So the argument I am making is that Conley will be better in the long run. He has the skills and potential to do it, and put together with Nick Young and Kevin Love and this teams future isnt as suspect as people make it seem. Thats all I'm saying, and if anyone here thinks I'll run away after a potentially bad deal then you dont know a single thing about me.

that difference is a first rounder when your team isn't that strong (and young) and has a bunch of contracts? I don't see a core of Love/Conley/Young making the playoffs in a league dominated by stars. (next season that is)
and it may not be running away but rather being contract year'd that's only a couple seasons away

That first round pick could be...
Russell Westbrook
Brook Lopez
James Harden
Tyreke Evans
Ricky Rubio
DeMar DeRozan
Brandon Jennings

Yeah. If the pick was mid teens or low twenties, we wouldn't be having this discussion right now. There's no doubt anyone would pick a younger player with the same ratings. But man, this is almost exactly what the real Clippers did by trading BDiddy away for the same value player in Mo Williams PLUS giving that lotto guaranteed pick. I mean, you're putting a lot of faith into those guys to do some extraordinary things.

Rudy is p ugly on that contract considering he's been through how many TC's and an expiring Thabo. not sure if I like it even in a weak draft class

Post by buffaloblue on Apr 7, 2011 20:26:22 GMT -5
Well, the main reason I was accepting both Rudy and Miller is cause I had them involved in deals of some kind, with this being my main focus.
By taking Jaric's contract, I at least make Rudy's first few years look not as bad.
I am actually curious what Thabo might do without being a non option.
I did really like this trade for me from a cap perspective and a talent perspective, as having 3 bigs in this league is solid, also may cut Jaric's contract, even though it would still hurt me a few years.
The real question is the direction I go with the pick and where it lands.

Holy shit is that Clippers deal bad. And that's not because i offered TWICE as much while taking half but because it's just fucking HORRIBLE.

Yes. Very bad because they've dealt their next two picks for... role players. I mean, that Rudy Gay deal is awful for how he's played so far in the league.

Thabo does intrigue me, but I'm curious to see how this TC will go and without the talent the Rockets have. Gay does bring stats despite his ratings, plus with a camp can be solid. If this were any other draft this would have been rape, but this draft... ehh. I don't care about contracts because well Clippers need to win this year and this deal does give them two pieces.

You take the pick out of that deal and it's about even. That's how absolutely groundbreakingly terrible that is.

I don't accept that answer man. The guy has now made two franchise shattering deals while also allowing the rich to get a hell of a lot richer. Something needs to be done.

I agree 100%
He's traded two great lotto picks for Rudy Gay, Thabo Sefolosha and an aging Andre Miller. That isn't enough to land ONE top 2 pick IMO.
