Manage an NBA Franchise - MOCK GM Game

To those asking question about why your roster is strange it is because the teams reflect last years game including all trades that were made.

This isn't the NBA as you know it.

whoever had the Jazz last year didnt do anything.

Fighting With A Vim · 06-24-2009, 12:40 PM

Looks like I missed the boat on teams

Mind if I ask how they will just open up?

SBSpartan · 06-24-2009, 12:48 PM

My team took hits when Elton Brand went down for the season early and Cut Mobley retired. Ouch.

Curry for Eric Snow (still on my roster)

SBSpartan · 06-24-2009, 02:03 PM

How do you plan on trading a guy that isn't on your roster?

Pocket_Aces · 06-24-2009, 03:01 PM

There are 2 GM's listed without a team: MSU98 and MAkarios.

Please let me know which of these teams you want: Denver, Minnesota, Boston, Portland, Memphis, and Ill get them opened up.

Somebody just sent me an amazingly bad trade.

Wow.

DITKA ® · 06-24-2009, 03:06 PM

Anyone interested in Tracy McGrady or Rashad Lewis.

I would have been semi interested in Lewis but that trade kicker is a killer

Get used to it. You will figure out soon enough who works within reality.

I will say this again. The GM's have to keep prices within reality. Contract demands from some of the agents last year were stupidly high.

Hopefully my entire roster gets injured again this year.

agreed. FA contracts were WAY to high last season. Probably one of the reasons a lot of the GM's didn't come back, they didn't have much $$ left. Orlando has like 3 guys signed from last season. I feel bad for their GM. I have no idea how that guy will put together a whole team without trading away Howard for a bunch of pieces

Miami trades: Pick No. 16 ($0.00) Pick No. 46 ($0.00) Gerald Green ($1,500,000.00) Zaza Pachulia ($4,000,000.00) Ricky Davis ($7,000,000.00) Miami recieves: Brandon Bass ($826,269.00) Russell Westbrook ($2,952,187.00) Andris Biedrins ($10,500,000.00)

Milwaukee trades: Brandon Bass ($826,269.00) Russell Westbrook ($2,952,187.00) Andris Biedrins ($10,500,000.00) Milwaukee recieves: Pick No. 16 ($0.00) Pick No. 46 ($0.00) Gerald Green ($1,500,000.00) Zaza Pachulia ($4,000,000.00) Ricky Davis ($7,000,000.00)

I might sign up as an agent if that's possible, since I missed the team selection.

Servo · 06-24-2009, 03:26 PM

Nazr Mohammad will soon be available for nothing, trying to buy him out. Please, no pushing. Line forms to the left

I paid a lot for Elton Brand but he was worth it. Some of the crap I went through trying to get Monta Ellis was stupid.

I was the Jazz last year and was just offered the most stupid trades ever so I lost interest.

Finding Courtney Lee was an unexpected suprise.

Just a game, Im not tooooo worried about it.

But starting to wonder what I got myself into.

Leave Cousins in!! · 06-24-2009, 03:31 PM

I want to clear cap space, Watson can be had for a 2nd rounder, if you're currently under the cap.

Putting together a team and working the money around is fun. Placing the line-ups during the seaon got boring fast.

I am convinced the cap doesn't mean **** in the NBA.
