1. In your fourteen seasons in New Jersey you've won 50 or more games just twice, and you haven't built a contender. You were once regarded as one of the best GMs in BBS. Have you lost it?
Man this hits the spot lol. No I haven't lost it lol you cray cray. When I started out with the Nets I didn't have any of my picks for the first 8 years LOL, I had a one year rebuild and was forced to start winning. Because of that I didn't have any real assets to deal off and build a real contender. I managed to win here and there but again nothing worth while. I still should have done a better job but oh well. Last time I was in the league I won two titles with the Nuggets before leaving a stacked team to go to the Lakers for a couple of seasons. I still have it but i need to prove that with this team i've put together after a proper 3 year rebuild. We'll see what happens but I still know i'm one of the best GMs here even at my lowest. I'm living of reputation right now and its about time i make a splash. 2. Here are three GMs. Compliment one, criticize another, and rank their abilities:
CC, Jay, Andy
CC: He wins one year and tanks the next... and it works for him. After a few years i always see his team at the top of the standings with a very good squad which is more than i can for the other two. CC also ALWAYS responds to PMs withing minutes which is awesome. He might not have much to say or offer but its all love. CC, Jay, Andy
Andy: Haven't seen him with a good team in a long long time. Before last year, the last time he has a 50 win team was 2013... damn. He just hasn't been good but he is a good guy and i like having him around even though he answers my PMs a day or 2 later lol.
CC is the best GM in this group by far. He has the best teams and has done more than the other two. Jay is new to the league and has done a solid job with his squad. He is a very nice addition to the league and is very active. I don't think i need to rank their abilities because like i said i think CC is the best one out of this group by far.... for now.
3. Skillz recently named DBW the most overrated GM in BBS. Do you agree, and who's the better GM of the two?
DBW isn't overrated at all. He lost Tart at his prime when he was considered a top 5 talent in the the league and then he lost Nate. He built good teams with the wolves and has done a solid job with the Celtics. I never thought he was a top GM but he is a very good one. Who is the better GM? Well Skillz because he won 2 rings recently and has built good teams. It's that simple. I will say one thing tho, I completely agree with DBW calling out Skillz in that last article. Skillz getting Tart was a huge deal and did get the ball rolling for him with all those trades. 4. Since he last won a ring in 2033, Play has just one fifty win season. Repole has had four - soon to be five - sixty win seasons in that span, along with a ring. Is Repole now the best GM in BBS?
Nah Play is still the best GM. 7 titles and just wins games. Before this season he never really rebuilt his teams and always made the right trades at the right time. Play is the best GM in the league but Repole is right behind him. The run he has been is a very good one but I just wouldn’t put him above play just yet… I need more rings out of the best GM in the league. 5. More important stat: free throws or blocks per game?
I’ll go with blocks per game. Everyone always tries to get at least 2 shot blockers up front. DJ has been very successful because Zelmo blocks a shit ton of blocks and now the Magic have 2 guys doing3.5 blocks and 3 guys doing 2+ blocks. This just seems to be the proven philosophy that works around the league and it’s also easier to look at. 6. More valuable piece: Kermit Washington or Bobby Jones?
Kermit is sick but Jones is just nasty. A potential and already doing 3+ blocks 2+ steals a game as a rook is just nasty. I thought I read somewhere that Broph said his scoring volume wouldn’t improve but I don’t see why not with only one tc under his belt and also a potential. Most valuable piece…? Man I think this is close just because Kermit already has nasty ratings and should continue to improve. If Kermit has another tc like he did last year I’ll take him for sure but for now I’ll go bobby jones. (I’m just saying to motivate Kermit to keep working hard.) 7. Greg offers you Moses Malone for Kermit Washington. Do you take it?
I don’t think I would. Moses is gonna be sick…Maybe do 30 and 12 at some point but damn it Kermit looks sexy. He had a solid second year in the league and seems to have potential left to continue to improve. He also has A+ defense which is crazy for a second year player…. That is just nuts. Kermit already get 2.5 blocks and 1 steal a game and I don’t see a reason why he won’t improve on that. The biggest X-factor is his offense but with his last 2 tc’s he seems to have the potential left to be a good scorer for sure. A- A+ B+ is awesome… and next year mama watch out!8. Will Dan return to BBS?
I don’t think he will… or at least not for a long time. He seemed pretty set on not coming back last time I talked to him about a few weeks ago and I don’t think he’ll change his mind any time soon. I’m sure in a few months or a year he’ll get that itch and will want to come back and hopefully he does because I love having my friends here and having something extra to talk about where nobody knows what the fuck is going on lol. 9. What's one thing most GMs would be surprised to learn about you?
Ummm I’ll keep this nice and simple lol. I could say that I’m a poet or that I love to write musicals just for the fun of it. I could also go with the fact that I love to finger paint and I like making candles but I’ll go with the most entertaining one for sure…. I’m 174 and I can bench 305 so like yeah LOL kinda of a beast. Also, I’ve been going out with my girlfriend for almost 10 months before her, the longest relationship I had was 1 week? LOL yee 10. Jerry West and Lavern Tart offer to re-sign, but they'd cost you max cap this offseason. What's the call?
I don’t resign them lol. West is good but I love Buse. We actually we went on a nice run with him starting at the point. He is such a good defender and gets a ton of steals and blocks. He also doesn’t turn it over as much as West and we were just a better team with him in the starting lineup, plain and simple. As for Tart, he is a really nice player but his TO’s are terrible and at this point he can’t really start. He has nice ratings and can shoot the ball but I think we are a worse team when he gets too many minutes. 11. Would you max the following potential free agents? George Trapp; Artis Gilmore; Rick Barry.
I would max Gilmore for sure. He a very solid center who rebounds and blocks shots and a lot of people will offer him the Max. I tried to trade for him this season but it never happened. He is the type of player I would LOVE to plug into our lineup next to Kermit for a long time to come. Rick Barry is another max He has had a ridiculous and somebody will offer him a max, no doubt about it. Biggie is gonna have to max him if he wants to keep him because he would be a really good piece for any of the teams with cap… the contract down the line will suck but hey people give out those contracts every single time. 28 points 8 rebounds 5 assists and 2.5 steals? That’s sexy and someone will max him. I don’t think I would but I would bet my left nut that someone will.
Trapp umm boy that’s close. His %s are ridiculous…. 58 %? I mean come on that’s just nuts. He doesn’t score in high volume even though he was the 3rd option but with Bingo eating up all the shoots I bet he could. If anything I would max him just to take him away from the Magic. 58% is something I can’t get over… max him!
12. Will Bill Walton ever be an elite center?
Boy oh boy I mean, I hope he does because I love big Bill but his first year wasn’t very good and he lost his A potential. His numbers are nothing special but you have to believe he still has a long way to go. Aar will spend the time to AC him and make him at least a very good center. He has only gone thru one tc so he definitely has more room to grow. As a matter of fact, I bet he has a nice bounce back TC next year and will be back on track to be an elite big. 13. Would you send Rudy T and the Suns 47 for Earl Monroe?
Yeah I would and I actually talked to game about it at the beginning of the season but he wasn’t interested. I really like Earl and I’ve wanted him for a long time so that is a deal I would totally do. Also, as of late, the Suns pick has gone down in value because Lawz did a pretty great job making something out of that team and you gotta give him a lot of credit for that. 14. Would you send Kermit Washington for Elvin Hayes?
Hayes is such a sick player but his numbers were down this year… 43% shooting this year is eh. Best case scenario for Kermit is turning out like Hayes but my team is still so young I don’t really see the need to trade for him. HF pm’d me a few weeks ago about making a deal like this but I wasn’t ready to do it then and I don’t think I would do it now. I want to see what Kermit can become alongside Carr and Rudy mainly because I can afford to do so. Kermit Washington
C 23 6'8'' 230 A- C- C A+ B+ A
That is just so sexy
15. Is DJ a top five GM? If not, which five guys are better?
I mean he has to be, right? His teams as of late always manage to win 50+ wins and get deep in the playoffs. Zelmo has been a beast for him for a long time and Fred is a machine. He managed to win a championship a couple of seasons ago and got 57 wins along with the 2nd seed this year. People knock his activity or the lack thereof, but you can’t knock his results. 16. Can anyone beat the BBS Magic this year?
I think the Magic should win it all this year. Bingo is just too good and although there are some good teams out there like the Thunder Knicks Pacers etc, there isn’t a team I see taking out the Magic if they can manage to stay healthy. 17. Will the NBA Lakers make it to the finals?
I don’t see why not! They have Bynum and Pau to go with Kobs. IF they play smart and make the right reads they can do it!18. Better player in his prime: Kobe or LeBron?
Kobe hands down. Kobe in the fourth ICE WATER LIKE BLOOD. WHAT! Lebron is a big bitch fucking baby. I hate the guy he is the worst. I hope he never wins.
19. True or false: you weigh under 150 pounds.
Ummmmm Hello? False 100% so like yeah. I went to the Y yesterday and I was 174.8. Was I wearing shoes? Was I holding my water bottle? Maybe maybe not! Point is I have been putting on the lbs and I feel good! Putting up some good numbers at the bench so yeah. 20. Anything you want to say goes here!
Umm Spence is my main man! What he is doing with the league while being so busy at home is just incredible. Also, wanna do the Y-Ball summer league? Skillz, if youre around this summer you should play too. I would be a good time and I really wanna do it YEEEE
