|Raptors|A Real Challenge...(ENDED)

Ok,i Finally got my Nba Live 08 ,So what im going to do is,i will do a fantasy draft with Toronto Raptors.
I will only draft weak and cheap players,to get a really big challenge.I Will draft young players with prbbly a rating 65~.
After that i will Hire really good Staff,to develop Players well.Im going to do a recap for each game.
I will do weekly recaps of whats going around nba (injuries,rumors,trades,releases,signings,and everything else.)
Questions to you !
Guys,what should i do with the recaps of the games,should i put real-life pictures,or in game Screenshots ?
And give me an advice what player with a rating of 65~ could be a nice leader ? (im thinking about daniel gibson)

Whether or not you want to use real life or in game pictures is up to you. Personally I think that in game screenshots work well with conveying what happened in your recaps a lot better.

I don't think anyone is all too sure who all of the 65 rated guys are, so maybe giving a bigger list of your preferred players would be better.

Well,Here's a list with low-rating players,that i think could lead the team. :

Kareem Rush,
Jordan Farmar,
J.J Redick,
Rasual Butler,
J.Salmons,
Rajon Rondo,
James White,
Roger Mason,
Daniel Gibson,
Matt Bonner,
David Noel,
Jason Kapono,
Matt Carroll,
Darrell Armstong,
Brent Barry,
Kyle Korver,
Jose Calderon.

Can't really go wrong with Salmons or Calderon. Both are fringe all-stars and are probably the most likely out of all the candidates to have a team built around them.

Yeah calderon, salmons, gibson. Your best bet would probably be calderon as your leader.

Not at all,Just that i had a 19 point Lead at the Third quarter,and it melted to 2.But nothing Clutch Happened.

Good job holding on to that lead. I like your roster. It is well balanced, and you don't have one distinctive star to take up the spotlight.

Well Yeah,I'm Thinking the same.But Bonner Is A Little Slow for The SF position.
So I Think maybe of Signing A New SF.

Using MLE or Minimum ?

That's what you get for not drafting Korver

But your roster looks great, two potential all-star PG-s you've go there.

Good luck! Hope you find a good SF! Like James White or smtg

I Don't Know,Probably Minimum,because i want to save money for the Off-season.

Don't Forget a Potential All-star PF David Lee,he is doing a great job.
Tho its not so good with the SF Signing,There is only one SF In All Free Agent's Market.
I'm Thinking of Signing a SG And changing His position to SF.

Thanks For The Comments.

Pick 6'5 - 6'7 Guards .

Ok,this is my first Job ever with photoshop,but i hope its better than to write this In-Post.
I know i need'ed to cut the lines out and other stuff,but oh well.

By the way, it's Renaldo Balkman . Great signing of Carroll, I think he can replace Balkman for a while, awsome 3 point shooter.

Well,yeah its my mistake with the Name . I kind of think,that Caroll may be a starter for a little longer.

Yeah, Carroll definitely brings a lot more to the table offensively than Balkman, but Balkman is a tougher rebounder/defender. Kind of a trade off, I'd think, but I think it shouldn't make too big of a difference.

You should put Salmons at SF and Carroll at SG.

Yeah,Carroll's Shooting will really help me to win,Balkman is not such a good defender aswell,actually i dont get why his rating is bigger than Carroll's.

You should put Salmons at SF and Carroll at SG.

You see,Salmons is not so good at shooting.And With my Style of play i Prefer Three Point shooters At SF.But thanks for the advice,ill think about it.

Salmons played SF with the Kings and the Bulls, shooting on a respectable 42% from three and 47% from the field. Also over 86% from the line. He can shoot. But it's your team

I know he can,but its my style of play that won't make me much value from him if he's SF.
