X's Blazers Dynasty (NBA Live 06)

[The X]

Here's goes the Blazers' updated roster....




top 10 rotation is pretty much secure, with the bottom 4 still fighting for scrapper minutes


EDIT: BTW, if it makes anyone happier, Ha has gone from a 13th man on my team to the starting centre for the T'wolves so you see, I did his career a favour

[KIG1]

wow thats a nice trade, Griffin is a big addition, and Carnegie could be a good player off the bench. Uhh maybe not but still good trade

[Jing]

he's starting for the wolves...? GO HA

yep, I like the trade....Eddie Griffin really does add another dimension to my frontcourt....I'm also hoping that Monta Ellis works out too....

in terms of ratings, I got Griffin (76), Ellis (63) & Carnegie (64)....Golden State got Outlaw (68) & Blake (57)....T'wolves got Rand (66), Monia (62) & Ha (58)....Warriors really coveted Outlaw & Wolves really coveted Ha....I essentially gave 4-for-3, but I like the trade not just for ratings, but also parity, fairness & the fact I got a player I really needed....

he's starting for the wolves...? GO HA

yep, he's got the job for now....I wonder how long he can keep Mark Madsen out of that starting lineup for

[Fresh8]

I don't like the trade too much... but its ur call drew. Not a fan of eddie... but good work anyways!

And to cwebbiverson, i can pick Shaq up...

[H Rock]

Like you said, the real winner won't be decided for a few years, especially in the case of Monta Ellis. I always liked Griffin when he was with the Rockets, he can hit the three, play three positions, and overall he's very versatile. Plus, he's young, so I think you got a good deal out of this trade.

[Jugs]

Nice trade i suppose, Eddie Griffin is A OK in my book.

I like the sound of Apollo Carnegie, he's your future

Randolph for MVP!

I guess it all comes down to Eddie Griffin....I didn't give up any of the main pieces of my team & I added someone who can change a game, so I see it as a move forward....Ellis is the intriguing pickup in this trade though....

yep, the versatility sold me on him....that & his ability to defend all three frontcourt positions....I can play a big lineup with him at SF or a small lineup with him at C, although I think primarily he's gonna be at the 3 & 4....

Randolph for MVP!

yep, as you know Jugs, I always try & make a fair trade both in Live & real life....this deal meets those requirements....

as for Apollo Carnegie being the future of the franchise, I could be in for a loooong dynasty then

[Andreas Dahl]

Nice trade man I like it, Eddie will give your bench a lot of strength.. It'll be nice to see how he performs though..

cheers as for his performance, it always take a little while to get new blood insync with the rest of the team....it hasn't be dramatic, but his ability to block shots & board always help

[Fresh8]

I'm looking forward to any more trades... Maybe strengthen the Big Man spot next time?

[The X]

I'm looking forward to any more trades... Maybe strengthen the Big Man spot next time?

we'll see....not planning on any more before the deadline, but I'll never rule anything out....

as for the big man spot....current Przy-bizz & Theo are the team's centres....but there are like 4 other players (Randolph, Griffin, Harding & possibly Lee) on the team that can handle that position, so I think I'm fine in the interim

[Fresh8]

Fair enough... although, I think acquiring an aging Shaq O'Neal could boost ratings!

[The X]

I'll wait till he declines a bit more, don't want to give up Zach Randolph & pieces for him, Jugs would have a fit

[Fresh8]

Screw Zach.. trade Mo and Eddie

[pHLo]

why don't u play Griffin at starting C ?

i might be wrong, but i think he'd be doing better than Przybilla
he's just a monster in the paint... swatting shot after shot, getting rebounds - he's definitely a nice catch

and he can hit the 3 on the offensive end

i like that trade

[The X]

Screw Zach.. trade Mo and Eddie

you seem to want me to trade Mo all of a sudden, don't you?!? the thing with Mo is that since Martell Webster has been starting, Mo Peterson's scoring averages have gone up that's right, he's scoring more off the bench than he did while he was starting

so the moral of the story is, I am not trading Mo

why don't u play Griffin at starting C ?

I'm glad you approve of the trade

as for starting Eddie, I'm happy with Big Joel in the middle, for now....there may come a time when that will change, but not yet....there might be the occasional one that he will start if the matchups are right or there is an injury, but for now, he's the 1st forward off the bench....

[Fresh8]

For Shaq u would!

[3C]

Nice trade, Griffin should be a big plus for you off the bench. I have a request and question:
Request: Could you monitor Ha Seung Jin's progress seeing that he's the starting Centre for the T-Wolves, see if he evolves into the Yao Ming like player we thought he would.
Question: How did you pull off a three team trade on NBA Live 06?
All in all I like what I'm seeing from Randolph (definately a franchise player) and Telfair is starting to come into form. I think you have a nice team, it may be a chemistry problem. If Telfair evolves (into a playmaker) he may be able to solve that problem. All in all very good.

[Buckley]

wow, nice trade......griffin should help

did u dbf edit the trade?

[Malfa]

goood trade i like eddie griffin a lot
hes a great addition and he'll be able to contribute right away on both ends

BTW, if it makes anyone happier, Ha has gone from a 13th man on my team to the starting centre for the T'wolves so you see, I did his career a favour

oh man your so lucky or everyone might've had to boycott this dynasty

HA SEUNG-JIN WATCH PLZ

[Drex]

Great trade man. Eddie pwnz

[Anthony15]

Good trade, Eddie will help up out ur team inside and on the boards!

[Devin112]

I love Griffin too, great pick up man. I had him on my team too, but I had to trade him to pick up Radmonic for my CLippers dynasty.

cheers....

as for the request, I guess I can do something like that, effective from after the All-Star Break, which I'm now at in my dynasty....honestly he hasn't done great as a starter so far, like about 3-4ppg, 6-7rpg in 30mpg on poor FG%'s but he should improve....but I'll keep everyone updated on his progress

the 3-team trade was essentially 2 individual trades I had with 2 different teams, but the 2nd trade involved player/s that I received in the 1st trade, essentially making it a 3-team deal....considering the fact that they were made within 2 days of each other, it wasn't too unrealistic, & it was more fun for me to do it that way

I made a trade of Outlaw & Blake to Warriors for Rand & Ellis....that took care of the Outlaw situation, added a good rookie PG & a future talent in Ellis....although, after looking at that, I realised while I liked the pickup of Ellis, Rand just complicates things & I still like Jarrett Jack as a backup for Telfair, so I made it a 3-team trade by trading Rand, Monia & Ha for Griffin & Carnegie the next day

as for the chemistry problems, possibly, but take a look at my roster....look at the role players....Przybilla (block, rebound, defend, take up space), Ratliff (block, rebound), Griffin (block, rebound, hustle, spread the D with the occasional trifecta), Lee (rebound, hustle), Watson (shoot the trifecta)....then I've got the star down low in Randolph, the star-in-the-making at PG in Telfair, a cold-blooded shooting future star in Martell Webster at SG, a super 6th man in Morris Peterson....roster is filled out with guards Jack & Ellis who may or may not pan out, but it's worth the risk....Carnegie takes a roster spot....

the only real question I have on this team, which does relate to chemistry, is Darius Miles!!! but everytime I think of entertaining offers for him, I realise he means something more to this team than his value....it's strange in a way....I honestly think I might hurt my team chemistry more by trading Miles than by keeping him....so for the moment, he is not going anywhere.....

wow, nice trade......griffin should help

did u dbf edit the trade?

cheers, he definitely will....

as for the possibility of dbf-editing the trade, of course not, who do you think I am? can't blame you for asking though, as you know it's not possible in the game....as I said before, I just felt like making a deal that benefited a few different teams in different ways & run with a more real life situation

goood trade i like eddie griffin a lot
hes a great addition and he'll be able to contribute right away on both ends

oh man your so lucky or everyone might've had to boycott this dynasty

HA SEUNG-JIN WATCH PLZ

yep, seems like the Ha Watch will become a part of this dynasty

I was never going to trade him to a situation that didn't really need him, or where he wouldn't play, so I'm happy it turned out well for the kid

as for Eddie, yep, I like the addition too, he is afterall the centrepiece of the whole 3-team trade

Great trade man. Eddie pwnz

cheers Drex, glad you could stop by

Good trade, Eddie will help up out ur team inside and on the boards!

yep, I'm trying to make ppl forget about my Babcock-like drafting

I love Griffin too, great pick up man. I had him on my team too, but I had to trade him to pick up Radmonic for my CLippers dynasty.

gutted, guess you had to do it for the team


is late, I need some sleep before work tomorrow....great to see the Patriots move on to the Final Four, made for a great day, that's for sure

will try & get January recap up tomorrow

cheers guys
