I'm using Realistic Roster7 by Albys (best sim engine ever)
by the way, i got contenders on who i should pick for my team
1st- Boston Celtics. (defending Champs look like a perfect team to manage, but not having much of a solid point and a center is a minus. another minus is the fact that only Cassell is the strongest bench player in the team)
2nd- Chicago Bulls (getting Derrick Rose is one thing, but having that Noah guy as a starter is a big no-no. Still, they have a strong bench, having top guys like Larry Hughes and Nocioni.)
3rd- Cleveland Cavaliers (Having LeBron James is every dynasty players dream, but an overflow of talented yet hard to trade point guards like Gibson, Williams, Snow and West. Plus, Ilgauskas and Wallace look too old too improve, too hard to trade and take up too much salary cap space.)
4th- Houston Rockets (although i don't really like this team, Tracy McGrady has been league MVP for two-three seasons in three different test dynasties that i expiremented. i like the players in the Small Forward position, Battier and Artest and sometimes i can consider Alston and Francis top-ranked Point guards. Scola seems easy to trade since he is a young guy. the only thing left to do if i choose Houston is to trade Yao, since he'll be getting a lot of ppg that Tracy should get.)
5th- L.A. Clippers (the new-look Clippers look good to handle, plus, they got Baron Davis, my favorite player. Albys gave Camby a high overall rating, so, i'm really loving it. of course, there's Kaman, someone i can trade since i'm really i trade guy and i think i can keep Thornton, since in one of my test dynasties, his overall rating would reach as high as 82. Jason Williams isn't getting any younger, so i think i'll have to quickly trade him.)
6th- L.A. Lakers (MVP Kobe Bryant ain't an MVP in Dynasty Mode, and in my test dynasty, it was because of Lamar Odom hogging all the ppg. i tried giving away Odom and sent him to the Magic and he scored 37ppg without Kobe!. Sending Odom or Kobe to another team could be a big boost. i could keep Gasol, since he is really affecting the stats of anyone but if his salary is needed to fill the Kobe/Lamar trade, i could think of trading him.)
7th- Miami Heat (this is one of two teams that i would really love to go with, the other one being Oklahoma. i said it because two-fifths of their starting lineup are young players who have high overall ratings and huge upsides. that means that they'll be easy to trade.Shawn Marion seems to be a guy who hogs up stats, like what he's done to my first test dynasty, when he was in Phoenix, hogging up Nash and Stoudemire's stats. if Shawn hogs up Wade's stats, expect him to be traded.)
8th- New Orleans Hornets (this is one awesome roster, but its weak side is Shooting Guard position. the other four positions are already loaded, which means that we can trade away James Posey or Morris Peterson for a defensive minded SG. it's bench are right for the pcking, since Julian Wright and Melvin Ely are players good to trade for other team's first round picks. Peja will be scoring around 35ppg for the first season, but Chris Paul will be the leading scorer for the second season, proven for three test dynasties. also, Peja will be the starting SF in the All-star game, tried for three test dynasties. so, keeping Peja is a good thing. but, since Chris Paul will be taking over scoring duties in the second season, it would be time to trade Peja in the off-season.)
9th- Phoenix Suns ( i tried this team for my first test dynasty, and their team record simulated was great, including winning streaks of 15 and 13. was it beacause of Alando Tucker's former rating which was 86, or because of it's solid all-around roster. Nash will be their top scorer for two seasons, Stoudemire is gonna get 10 rpg and Diaw and Bell are non-scoring contributers. although their roster now is great, their future is gonna be ugly. Nash will retire 3 season later, Shaq 2 and Hill 2 or 3, tested on 2 different test dynasties. better not trade Stoudemire, and not to re-sign Brian Skinner before he starts to whisk away, that is, if you're a retired jersey collector.)
10th- Oklahoma City Thunder (with the addition of Russel Westbrook, Oklahoma is gonna be a young team on a role. Although Kevin Durant might be averaging only 21-23ppg, at least he has a reasonable salary cap to go with when you want to decide to trade him for 1st round picks.)
teams i don't want to go with:
Atlanta- not much of a deep bench, but their starting lineup is solid
Charlotte- great salary cap, but other star players are ppg hogs and are pushing J-Rich down.
Dallas- Dirk will be an MVP for one season based on a test, but he'll be too old to trade after.
Denver- Melo is a young fresh player, but just like in real NBA, he'll have to share his ppgs from A.I.
Detroit- Starting Lineup is balanced, but bench is weak and no one is a scorer. plus, they're too old
Golden State- they'll have a hard time trying to make it to the playoffs now that my fave player Baron Davis is gone.
Indiana- Dunleavy and Granger might get better, but no Jermaine makes things hard for the Pacers. plus, why put a guy named Hibbert a starter when you can have Jeff Foster.
Memphis- their roster is messed up now that Mike Miller is gone, and now that they've got no solid backcourt, they'll have to rely on the front court, with guys like Gasol, Milicic, and Haddadi. Mayo still has to prove something.
Milwaukee- Ridnour is an exceptional replacement for Mo, but the addition of Jefferson is gonna mean ppg downfall for both Redd and Jefferson.
Minnesota- drafting Kevin Love is one thing and he'll be grabbing about 11rpg, but it don't mean the T'Wolves are getting any better.
New Jersey- I ain't picking this team for all the ugly face-lifts it's been doing, like giving away J-Kidd and RJ, but it also means the Nets are Carter's team now, which means his already high ppg might get higher.
New York- Robinson still ain't the new starter for Marbury, and losing Zach Randolph is gonna make New York an even worse team.
Orlando- tried for three different test dynasties, Orlando has no player which can reach 20ppg for three consecutive seasons. the closest would be Hedo, which would score around 19.3 ppg
Philadelphia- Elton Brand is one big threat as a Power Forward, but what the heck is Thaddeus Young doing in the Small Forward position?!
Portland- We can't bet on Jerryd Bayless to do anything big in the Point, and it also means thath there are gonna be more useless Point Guards yet to be realeased like Jarrett Jack and Steve Blake among others.
Sacramento- the loss of Mike Bibby and the retirement of Reef would mean a disaster dynasty in Sac Town.
San Antonio- although they might be making it to the playoffs for two seasons, but they're too old to be making it for twenty-three more.
Toronto- Jermaine's arrival would somewhat decrease CB4's ppg.
Utah- they're a better version of Atlanta. a solid lineup but a shallow bench.
Washington- it would take a major face-lift to make a championship-callibur roster out of this team.
i really need your suggestions fron the ten teams that i chose but if you want to suggest me a team that i rejected, give me a comment on why i should pick that team
I'LL BE WAITING!!![/code]
