1. I've always wondered, why do you call yourself "Skillz"? Where did the name originated from?
Good question. When i was really young in sim leagues i couldn't think of a name so of all things I chose DaSkillz. Didn't mean anything, i just picked that for whatever reason. I then shortened it to Skillz and haven't changed it since. It's cocky/douchey, but yea...i'm not gonna change it now.
2. How do you feel about your draft? What was your thought process when you selected Birdsong with the 9th overall pick?
I thought my draft was fine. Birdsong was the best player available, Elliot should be a 22/8 guy with AC's, and Wilkins had good notes. My thought proccess behind Birdsong was he was the guy highest on my list (wasn't even there for that pick). I'm glad i had him there though because he'd be a top 5 pick in this draft post TC. He's going to be a huge scorer...B+/A- after one TC? Watch out.
3. What are your plans for this season?
Tank and continue to AC my guys. Need a top 3 pick to add some legit pieces.
4. What are your plans for the future? When do we expect you to contend for a championship again?
I'm actually setup for a long-term 2 or 3 year rebuild believe it or not. Whether that actually happens depends on how bored I get or if we steal a FA/get a top 2 pick. I'd say we'll probably rebuild another year and compete after two seasons. So, we'll be contending for a title again in two or three seasons.
5. What team would you consider the biggest threat in the East/West and why?
The team who is the biggest threat to me tanking is Repole because he's dealing off his players with more urgency than anyone else. Obviously the best team in the league is the Bucks, and I like the Thunder coming from the West.
6. Who is your sleeper team in the East/West and why?
East: Pacers. They've got a ton of defense and if biggie makes some smart moves, they can be really good.
West: Warriors. Lots of assets to work with. Potential there.
7. What team do you think had the best offseason?
Is this is an actual question? The Bucks...
8. If you could have any player(s) on the Warriors, who would they be?
Robert Parish. A big man who can do it all and has potential? Good stuff. If he's RC'd/AC'd correctly I can see him being a top 20 value guy in the league.
9. Do you see Jay and/or Pig making their CY this season?
I see Jay making it because he's going to get so much pressure from the league once he starts off 8-10 to make trades. He's got the assets. I don't think Pig will make it, but I don't think it's impossible for him like a lot of people are saying. It's probably 40/60. His team has no assets but it's not like his players are terrible.
10. Out of the people on the waiting list, who would make the next best GM right now? If you had to bring back any past member, who would it be?
I don't know any GM's on the waitlist so I couldn't tell you, nor do I pay attention to the waitlist. IF I were to bring a GM back, it would definitely be Reilly. I think it would be really cool having him in the league now that most of us have improved with our knowledge of FBB. I wonder if he'd still be great. I'd also want James back.....I used to think he was hilarious.
11. Describe each GM in your division using one word.
Deebs-Motivated
HF-Puppet
Nanz-Chill
Repole-Calculated
Duke-New (seems to know his shit though)
Ilovebball-New (have had no interaction with him)
12. How do you feel about the record amount of articles last season? Do you think we could break the record this season?
I think it's great. This is the most active BBS has been in a while. And I think we'll break it this season....everyone wants to give their players that extra edge!
13. What do you think will happen once we reach 1 million posts on the board?
The world will come to an end. Nah, Spence will probably give us a ridiculous post pad +50 or something like that. Would be cool!
14. Aside from BBS, what do you feel about the Knicks situation in the NBA? Should they keep Amare? What moves do you feel they should make to have a better team next season?
Eh, we are not in the best shape. Should we keep Amare? Well, that's relative. We couldn't get anything remotely valuable for him so I think we are best off keeping him. The sad thing is we'd be better off with David Lee than Amare considering the makeup of our team. We need to resign Lin of course to solidify the PG spot and need to add some shooters to spread the offense. ALso need to add a backup big and upgrade our backup PG situation
15. Finally, tell us something we don't know about you!
HMmm, idk! I'm a freshman at Dartmouth. It's finals. We have a weird schedule so my friends have all been back home for a month and I've been here.
