1. Your 35-21, fairly quietly making your way up the West. How far do you believe your team can go and what's the plan for the next upcomming seasons?
With the Bing injury right now, I would have to say not pretty far... we would be pretty lucky to get out of the 1st round without our starting PG... hopefully there won't be anymore big injuries like Bing...but anything could happen the next couple sims... my luck with injuries hasn't been kind the last couple seasons ...and now the injury bug carried over to Bing... I think we'll end up with the 5th or 6th seed...as for the future, my plan will always be winning... as long i have guys like Jo Jo, Jones, and Bing (hopefully resigns) on my team, my focus will be a championship...I will do whatever it takes to improve this team... then ofcourse you have the next two drafts with bird and magic likely entering...it would be nice to tank for one of them but i think this team will be too good by then... so my only focus now is to improve this team... and it also helps if Bing resigns with us next year... if he doesn't, then i might choose another direction...but hopefully that wont be the case.
2. Jo Jo White has been on the trading block. What kind of offers have you gotten and what would allow you to move him?
Not many... the only offer i received was from Marty during the offseason... he offered World B Free...i strongly considered the deal until TC passed and marty withdrew the offer... since then i haven't received any offers... i only received messages like, "i like jo jo" "i have interested in jo jo" etc... for now, Jo Jo will be a warrior until i received more offers for him... no one is untouchable on this team unless a large deal is brought up and both parties are enticed to it... and ofcourse i would want the best possible deal for jo jo...considering he is the best SG in the league right now.
3. Dave Bing is out tll the 2nd round. How are you going to deal with his injury as far as the DC goes? Would any of the lower seeded teams scare you in a 1st round match up?
We hope Lucious Allen could step into his place and win us some games...he's a vet in this league and has proven on other teams that he can have some big games...he isn't the same player in the past, but he still could get the job done....however, we don't expect him to give us the same production like Bing... both guys are totally different players...as long Allen shoots well, distributes the ball, and doesn't turnover the ball that much, i would be satisfied... so far Allen has been playing well as the starting 1...and hopefully he continues his play over the next couple sims... and no doubt any of the lower seeds could takes us out in the 1st round... they have some talented PG's that could give us some trouble... but i'm not too worried about that right now... our only concern right now is to stay healthy, win as much games as possible, then see where our chips will fall come playoff time.
4. You were ridiculed by a few GM's for your Parish/MM for Hayes offer. What were you thinking on that one?
John wanted Parish+++++ for Hayes... so i said to myself, hell why not make an offer...so i offered that deal + picks... and ofcourse it had to be leaked out to other gm's, which i expected to be ridiculed lol... but hey, it isn't the first time a meh offer was leaked on the boards and laughed at... doesn't really bother me at all.. i'll just go back on the chalking board and see what other deals could be done.
5. You made a trade block looking to get younger and traded Walt for Murphy. After 1 sim, you traded Murphy for an older Bing. Obviously it was an upgrade but what made you pull the trigger on getting older again?
TBH, i was bored when i made that deal... walt was out 5 days, so i was like meh, let me look at other teams...so i looked at yours and saw Murphy was having a terrible season....maybe i can turn his season around...he was also 6 years younger then walt...so then i made the offer...and ofcourse you accepted it... but the next sim, murphy was still terrible...so i was like, meh maybe he's going downhill...maybe someone else could use him better than me... then the next day i offered him and marin to memphis for bing...who was a major upgrade but his team was struggling... ofcourse that deal fell through and Bing is now out 40 days... age wasn't involved when i made the deal for bing... he was clearly an upgrade over murphy.. i even offered walt+ for him way earlier, which was declined...but now i have Bing and hopefully he resigns with us.
6. There is often a lot of talk about your GMing and how often you tank. First question is, well, comment on that. Second question is, do you believe you've done as well as you should've with all the talent you've had?
To answer the first question, check out my interview with nanz... bbs2010.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rcs&action=display&thread=22373
As for the second question, based on where my current team is in the standings, i do believe i've done well with the talent i have right now..however, things could be way better... i still have holes in the frontcourt...parish is only a rookie and my starting 4 is a 35 year old smith... also my big depth isn't as good...and now things are worse with Bing out 40 days.. but to expand my answer a bit further, with all the talent i've had over the years, i think i've done well like i should... tanking aside, i've made the playoffs many times...even getting to the finals and winning a title in cleveland...so yes, i do in fact believe i've done well as i should with all the talent i had to work with...and i will continue to bring out the best from my players...and hopefully produce good results for my team.
7. What do the Sixers and Bulls need to do to make the playoffs?
Sixers need to make another big deal...i dont care if its trading gervin or walker...one or both have to go for major upgrades at their position...both players are still young to this game and they need proven VETS to get it done... same for the bulls...i think a big deal will guarantee them a playoff spot..and i'm sure play could get one done...and it's only a matter of time...play has done it in the past and could do it again...i see play making a blockbuster deal before the deadline...but for dwaynec, i see him standing pat...which isn't good news right now...i think he has to be more aggressive in making a big trade to turn that team around ASAP...who has the better chance making the playoffs? CHICAGO.
8. Your fav 5 and hated 5 GM's?
lol i wish everyone would believe me but i do in fact love working with every single member in this league... and that's the truth.. but to give you my fav 5, in no order, i would have to go with nanz, biggie, jay, play, and broph... as for 5 most hated gm's, i can't answer that because deep inside i don't hate anyone in this league... it's the internet and i don't take hate seriously...i approach it as if it's trolling lol... but if things got real and personal, based on the hate i've received in the past, i would have to go with, in no order, haberman, pig, marty, styro, and heat flash...i do believe that these guys are great in person...especially heatflash since i've spoked to him many times on the mic during our cod days.
9. Who do you hate talking trade with?
Haberman prolly...unless he makes the offer...dude gets angry a lot...tough to trade with someone like that...i'm not sure if we'll make a deal in the future again.
10. Is Buse the best PG in the league or even top 5?
11. How much longer do you have left in sims?
As long BBS will last... i <3 this league and it's one of my favorite hobbies in the real... i open up bbs first thing in the morning and last at night.
12. Should someone bring back BBS wrestling?
I don't mind at all... it could promote more activity on the boards...which is always a great thing to have.
13. Speaking of wrestling, CM Punk or Daniel Bryan?
CM Punk!
14. The Warriors are moving to SF. Thoughts?
LOVE it... SF is my hometown...born and raised.. time to bring the team back home where it started...enough said.
15. Rumor going around is that the Knicks offered Amare to GS. What would you think of adding Amare? Thoughts on the team as a whole either way?
I wouldn't want Amare on my team at all...it seems like his best days are behind him... unless he finds another nash to pass him the ball, amare won't be the same again...especially when hes signed to a big ass deal...as for the team in general, we are gonna make the playoffs next season (no homerism involved) but only if bogut and curry are healthy throughout the year... we also need to find a defensive slashing sf... hopefully we resign dominic mcguire or package our pick for one (maybe iguodala)...but quote me on this, warriors will make the playoffs next season.
With the Bing injury right now, I would have to say not pretty far... we would be pretty lucky to get out of the 1st round without our starting PG... hopefully there won't be anymore big injuries like Bing...but anything could happen the next couple sims... my luck with injuries hasn't been kind the last couple seasons ...and now the injury bug carried over to Bing...
