][RAPTORS][ - The New Era [Offseason]

[Paulito]

This is my first proper dynasty after my first one only last a few preseason games. I've finished playing my first season on my game but I decided to update the rosters up to the trade deadline and start a new game afterwards and sim the first season so I can get back to where I was in my old game.
Ok, Let's get it started!

Raps Interim GM Resigns

Toronto Raptors interim general manager Wayne Embry resigned this morning following the end of the NBA regular season. The Raptors once again missed out on the playoffs after another poor losing season.

Embry was hired after Rob Babcock was fired in January. Despite continuous talks to persuade Embry to stay on as the permanent general manager Embry officially stepped down as the interim GM but will remain as an advisor to the new GM.

The Raptors job looks very appealing thanks to Embry, Embry made some good moves during his time as GM:

Jalen Rose to New York in exchange for Antonio Davis.
Aaron Williams to New Orleans in exchange for cash.
Eric Williams + Raphael Araujo to Milwaukee in exchange for Jermaine Jackson + Ervin Johnson.
Kelvin Cato to Atlanta in exchange for Atlanta's 1st Round Draft Pick (2006)

Embry rid the team of the larger contracts of Jalen Rose, Eric Williams and Aaron Williams in exchange for the expiring contracts of Antonio Davis, Jermaine Jackson and Ervin Johson, aswell as removing 'bust' Araujo from the team. Embry's final move on trade deadline day involved signing FA Kelvin Cato (wavied by Detroit) and trading him for Atlanta's highly projected draft pick.

The look for a new Raptors GM begins, sources are linking Suns highly regarded President + GM Bryan Colangelo.


(Embry will remain as an advior to the new GM.)

Spurs Successfully Defend Their Championship

The San Antonio Spurs won the NBA championship for the second consecutive season last night as they defeated the Detroit Pistons in game 6 of the finals last night in a stunning game. Tony Parker hit two important free throws with 30 seconds left on the game clock to tie the game at 105 and made a huge steal to give the Spurs the final shot of the game. With just 1.2 ticks to go Duncan hit the jumper off a superb pass from Parker which sent the hometown Spurs fans crazy. Chauncy Billups's last second prayer bounced off the back of the rim to give the Spurs the win and the title.

Finals MVP Tim Duncan has already set his sights on next season and believes aslong as veterans Robert Horry and Bruce Bowen do not retire, they can make it 3 in a row next year.
