1. Gonna start with Kareem talk obviously. Multiple GMs (including myself) are questioning the sudden change in the availability of Kareem. Speaking with you a few times previously, it seemed you weren't willing to even entertain a deal for him. What changed? Why not put up a block to make it known to the league that KAJ was available?
Let me start by saying that most of you are correct kinda idiotic to move KAJ,specially with how good he is.But I don't know, had been talking to certain GMs about possible deals but there's never any effort to achieve a fair deal in this league.As we know BBS has some of the best GMs and no one wants to give an inch.The block thing I never really believe in you get alot of "I like","Me",and "let's trade" but almost always nothing arises from Block.
As for the players Kermit & Robinzine.I've always liked both Kermit is a kinda do it all big but just not a Stud.Robinzine looks like a dynamic scorer who can be a 22-25 ppg scorer with 6/7 boards and what's not to like there.Ultimately my goal was to compete with KAJ but it was getting to the point were I had no assets to improve the team and asked Repole if I'd get my picks back for Kermit and he said "yes" so I pulled trigger to leave me with more options.I can deal for my picks back then deal of Rudy/DJ/Robinzine for assets and full rebuild or can add a bit and continue to win if Repole doesn't want to trade me my picks back.
I love you Play
2. The majority of the league feels that the deal was horrible to say the least. What made Broph the best trading partner for you? What did you see that many of us can't?
He's annoying.He posted countless times on PBL shoutbox that I should do it .
But seriously as stated above Kermit was a piece that could get me my picks and leave me with options to do as I wished.
3. What are your plans right now? Apparently you aren't interested in dealing for your picks back.... Let us know the deal.
I really have no plans what to do yet.I'm actually kinda waiting for resignings to see what I do.But because of that the Repole boat might float away as he kinda wants to do a deadline deal.But I just don't want to give out a lotto with my 49 I hate that.(How do you sleep at night Styro)
4. Broph feels Bill Robinzine is one of the best wings this league has to offer but simply hasn't got the chance to prove it. Do you share the same sentiment? If he tests FA, would you be willing to max him?
I actually agree with Broph he's a good wing maybe not great but 23 ppg 6 boards I'd take it with Sexy ratings.Come on you gonna ask me that I freaking maxed Phil Smith,course I'll max him.
5. Lets shift to league talk. The Blazers and Bucks are the hottest teams in the league and they will face off twice in the Day 80-90 sim. Give us a no insight, gut feeling prediction on the games. Clean sweep? 1 and 1? Then... tell us which team is better in your opinion.
I see a 1-1 ending just because FBB is so random and Bingo is so great.But as a whole Broph's team is so much more complete.He has no weaknesses Tree/KAJ/Bobby/Monroe/Fryer.Well maybe a team with a REALLY GREAT PG/SG combo could give Broph some trouble.I don't see McCarter and who ever plays SG for bucks Smith/McMillan/Davis doing that in a 7 game series.
6. Are there any teams that can challenge the Blazers in the West bracket come playoff time? What about the Bucks in the East bracket?
As I'm looking through West rosters don't see a playoff team that could beat the Blazers on paper but weirder things have happened.As for the bucks
Celtics/Bulls just look awesome on paper and can definately give Bucks a good series.Celtics just need a real PF and Bulls have Dickey/Brown so have a chance.
7. Which conference do you feel has the best talent overall?
Talent wise I just like what East has because it seems like they have more youth on their side.(Barnes/Dr J/Magic /Dickey...and alot more)The West has alot more established stars but they'll be hanging it up in the next couple of seasons.
8. Name a couple of players that you feel are having surprisingly good or bad seasons.
607 George Gervin SF 58 37.9 32.3 6.6 3.0 1.4 0.7 2.1 .475 .867 .444
What the he'll dude was a 23ppg scorer and he's only 26.
553 Mike Glenn PG 43 35.6 37.8 3.6 5.0 1.1 0.1 2.5 .495 .845 .497
Seriously WTF look at his ratings.How??Repole can't even tank cuz of this dude.
As for disappointments
238 Jack Sikma C 52 34.2 13.4 10.1 1.3 1.2 1.2 1.0 .414 .824 .368
Come on dude you were a #1 pick,your making Foots and Bird look bad with you stinking it up.
9. Back to you. It seems damn near all of us like to pounce on you in regards to your GMing. Surely you don't feel that you're the absolute worst GM here. Name a couple of GMs that you feel should stop talking because you're better than or at least equal to them.
Uumm well I'm not big on GM rankings I dont really care if I'm the worst but as to gms similar to me let's pick Styro and HF.Styro has great players but never does anything with them and is about to give out a lotto and I highly doubt he trades Money/Kenon so he's kinda stuck with that roster. As for my boy HF,are you seriously about to get CY again,I know he has school and a job now so he doesn't have as much time to devote to simulation leagues but he's a pretty good GM just kinda shocking.
10. Talk about your favorite NBA Team (Clippers). What do they need to do to become contenders in the Western Conference? Is the year of experience under their belt enough for them to come out guns blazing or do they still need a deal or two?
Eehh my Clippers still need alot to do to become a true contender.First and foremost CP3 needs to sign on that dotted line.As for next year they need to secure a SG,Nick Young is a good 6th man but doesn't play defense.I personally really like Courtney Lee but I doubt we can swing a deal with no GM.There's this pipe dream going around the Internet that if KG doesn't retire and leaves Boston he can come to Clipperland to play as he wants to win and he's a resident of Southern Cali so that be nice.Also kinda waiting for draft day to see if Clippers trade Eric Bledsoe for a draft pick but I'm kinda cold on that as EB grew up alot in playoffs and he's a great back up plan I'f CP3 walks.But hey Lakers are another year older so Clippers taking ova Southern Cali soon.
