Barkley, why are you crying? I get English's complaint, his team is stacked and he loses, but your team was NEVER that good. Love = the new Chris Bosh and Rose will never be the same guy again.

Just gonna say that my thing was always to put a big beside Dirk that doesn't take away shots. It's why I dealt Ryan Anderson back then, why I dealt Nene this season and why I paid Jason Maxiell a dumbass contract  . EDIT: Worst of it was the Quincy Acy experiment, probably could've gotten 50+ last season, but that dumbass move cost me like 3 games lol. As for the bench, I don't know Charles - I think I have a pretty solid bunch. Augustin, ET and Jameer had some solid starts albeit for some bad teams. Wright's exactly the kind of 2 tool guy I like for my benches, and Harris has been here forever. And of course:  But eh, I haven't got much to base off - I just mess around with my lineups like everyone else, look for something that works and stick with it. Maybe Live just reads Dirk and Pierce's names during playoffs and boosts 'em to 100. Give this man the Executive of the Year already! Great team building! Not only a great mix in the starting five but also in the bench. which produce 40.4 points! Idk, I'm probably not an EOTY guy. I think I made some decent value moves, but I don't think I've hit any homers this season. |

I asked a question to Chris (GSW GM) assuming these series were over but it looks like I might wrong. Love It!  Go Chalmers! |

It's quite interesting since after taking Irving out of the lineup that Denver has won the last 2 games.
I think Denver is now doing the exact same thing that Danny mentioned earlier in this thread that has helped his team to be so successful this season. Denver loses Irving (highly rated PG, but a shot taker) replaces him with a lower rated PG (presumably, not taking a lot of shots) and now his team is winning. Looks like Harden & George are probably getting more shots now and it appears to be working for them.
I think this gives strong support to the notion that you don't have to have the highest "rated" team to win at a high level in this league. Being a complete well rounded team and having some chemistry are also important factors that need to be considered when building your team.
Denver just stole game 5 in Dallas & now they're headed back to Denver with a chance to tie it up at 3-3. Can the Nuggets pull off the historic comeback!?

And if Irving was taking more shoots than Harden and George it probably was not an ideal situation because Rondo should be 1 of Mavs best defenders. |

Irving down. Nuggets win next 2 games in D5. Cavs win next game in real life!
Curry with 5-23 fg% vs 10-20 in the 1st game. That speaks about the better defense in Game 2 or the lack of it in Game 1.

Barkley, why are you crying? I get English's complaint, his team is stacked and he loses, but your team was NEVER that good. Love = the new Chris Bosh and Rose will never be the same guy again. I was unaware I was crying? My comment wasn't intended to be complaining, but it probably was. After I start to ramble on, it must get that way. Why I was like that is because I don't have anything better to do at the moment. Walt and I are waiting on votes for the new guys. I have a late pick. Just not much to do besides what Alex said, make snarky asinine comments. Love is the new Chris Bosh. Which means he stays at an 89 for a while. He also had better numbers this year than Bosh's first year, probably wrong on that though, am wrong on most of my off the top of my head stats lately. But I think if Love stays a Cav, they make a concerted effort to get him more involved. And a big part of me is hoping he leaves the Cavs and goes to a team where he can be a stat monster and go to the playoffs, in the East most likely. Its also easier to say that considering the Cavs are playing well without him. I am also tired of hearing Rose will never be the same player again. Its cool. Thats like the "hip" thing to say regarding Rose. Its what every one on every media outlet says. But, it is even cooler to have more to offer to the opinion than just that. Part of me has resigned myself to Rose never being the same player again, but I never liked him for the player he was, I liked him for the person he was. He probably shouldnt have been able to go to Memphis seeing as theres lots of accounts about his educational skills. But I like what he represents as a person and as a teammate and we want him being the face of our organization for years to come. I watched a lot of Bulls games this year, I think most did. What I noticed about Rose was that he had a better jump shot and a fear of finishing lead to a floater. I'd imagine his vorped data looks drastically different this year than his last full season. I think he becomes a different player. Remember CP3 N.O. Hornets version? Now look at him. I get that CP3 didn't need to make a huge adjustment playing style wise. But I think Rose can be an All-Star caliber PG in this league, and even an MVP candidate in future years, he's only 26. But as much as I wish he was the old player, and I think most wish he was, because he was so fucking exciting to watch, I don't think he gets there, and that's ok with me. But I still believe he can get back to where he was, or even to a different type of PG. I love Derrick Rose. And will defend him till I am red in the face. Also, I was in first after ~30 games? Until I made that Love trade I believe. So I was good at one point. Bad managerial skills on my part. Fucked that trade up. Looks like THE worst trade of the season so far, and thats saying something considering Dragic was moved for a non-BR'd Kemba, I believe. And the West is just hard. Its fuckin HARD. You know it. You saw you might not make the playoffs and wanted your lotto. I am constantly struggling thinking about tearing this team apart, mainly because I like rebuilding and scouting and theres more room to work when rebuilding which makes GM'ing more fun IMO. But also because its just like, my team doesnt have 5 82+ at each position, and further more, they aren't all blossoming super stars like Alex. Whoever let Alex build that team like that, its just nasty. Thats like a team youd have in 2k where you turn off the computers ability to reject trades. |

Give this man the Executive of the Year already! Great team building! Not only a great mix in the starting five but also in the bench. which produce 40.4 points! Idk, I'm probably not an EOTY guy. I think I made some decent value moves, but I don't think I've hit any homers this season. Not taking anything away from Danny here, because I think he's a great dude and a great GM, but when I think of EOTY, ESPECIALLY in here, I think of a guy who fiddled and faddled and traded and bargained his way around things and drastically changed the position of his franchise. For the record, I don't think that's me. I think I should win worst EOTY. I think EOTY is hard, because you have teams that have blossomed because of draft picks made years previous that they kept and believed in. Then you have GMs who have changed the way their team is positioned in a years time. Like, James Kay made a great pick in Wiggins, even though I still think he is an athletic slasher who is on path to be MKG 2.0, but that's just my opinion. But James changed his teams fortunes with Ibaka and Wiggins, and held on to Middleton, traded away Bledsoe for Randle, held on to Nerlens, even though I think he's a stick figure waiting to break. Luckily my opinions, and "opinions" don't really count in EOTY, besides Ian's really and the Secret Council of Elders. Then you have GMs like Hollis who fiddled and faddled and moved assets to position his franchise even better. And you have guys like Jay Z who drafted really well in one years time and broke down a middling franchise. Walt who sent off 2 of his top 3 guys for a great trade. Josh did some really nice things his first year in the BK, Sam BOOOie somehow convinced Blake to wake up lol. JR did some really good things as well. Basically, the mainstays atop the conferences, the Troy's and Danny's and Alex's and now the Chris's and Glenn's and even Clyde's shouldn't win EOTY. Because they didn't drastically change their fortunes. But that's because they didn't have to. EOTY is nice, it shows you've done good. But if your team is winning a lot of games, you shouldn't worry about it. And if you're team is always consistently winning games, you shouldn't win the EOTY, because you aren't "doing" anything, but in reality, doing nothing to your team is hard. And making a small move is usually big when you're streaking. What I am saying is that stagnation player roll over wise is good when you're a powerhouse and it shouldn't net you the EOTY just because you're team has the best record. Not really arguing with you Pinoy, either. And not taking a thing away from Danny. Just kind of giving my opinion on something in a thread where it doesn't belong in a post that no one will read because its too long and no one really cares what I am saying anymore lol |

Maybe we should have a Best Transactional EOTY. I think that'd be neat. Something else for people to look at and realize that this GM or that GM did a damn good job. |

I also don't think he will ever be rated higher than 86, and think where he is now is probably his ceiling. Hopefully Jrue comes back at 100%, I'm a bit of a fanboy, but I needed some defense in my backcourt really really bad. I don't need a dish-happy PG like Teague, because I have Tyreke and Jabari who I imagine both have very high passing ratings. |

Better lose with the players you love (Rose, Love, Bledsoe, Giannis) than win with the players you hate. That's how I feel anyways. |

So you're pretty much Brian Windhorst. Because everyone knows Chris Broussard's stories are all based off of his SOURCES. Marc Stein is a good reporter, I am glad ESPN is using him in the finals, the other two, Windhorst and Broussard are idiots. Then the journalists they have, Stephen A and Wilbon are awesome. I love Wilbon and Tony on Pardon the Interruption. Highly Questionable is funny and good, pretty much the only good thing to have come out of ESPN moving all of their coverage to Miami to follow LeBron. And now theyre all in Cleveland. |

It will be and you will be preparing for the future, like the rest of us. And then IRL next season we will see PGs # decrease. Truly I don't think your a bad team. On paper your awesome. But Dirk won't lose a series when he will dominate more games than not, when leading 3-0 |
