:arrow: The New Finals Site is up :D

:arrow: The Reason I didn't make it the default site is cause I would've had to change a bunch've links and I wanted to be able to keep the season part of the site up too, I thought It'd be Handy for People :roll:

:arrow: Take a look at the website, just go to the main site and there's a link right in the middle of the page to go to the Finals Page Where theres screenshots and scores from Game 1 of the NBA Finals! (Y)

:arrow: Just Put a Poll up on this thread too if you didn't notice, Just wanted to see what people think of the new site design!

Latest Games, Trades and New Roster

Postby wez312 on Tue Aug 05, 2003 6:28 am

Hey All!

Ok, First of All I just want to mention that I changed the Level To Superstar for this Season to see how it goes...Should Be interesting

I've Played 3 Games so far in my season, Obvisouly I didn't get a very High Draft Pick But I picked up A rookie by the name of

Theo Harrington (PF) 6'8" 229 lbs Came out of Arizona as a Junior
Developement Potential: Average
Strengths:
Incredible Grasp of Basketball Fundementals :roll:
Very Agile For a Big Man
Is a Shot Blocking Presence
Weaknesses:
Not The Fastest Down the Floor
Needs to Lock himself in the Weight Room
Could stand to Improve his Outside Shot

First 3 Games

VS Toronto - 98-77 - L
Yeah they Killed us We could not stop Vince Carter for anything

@ Boston - 82-100 - L
They Beat us Too, Obviously, Their main star was Paul Peirce Still but they don't have Antoine Walker and have aquired Stephon Marbury, Luckily Stephon got into Foul Trouble and Was out most of the Game.

@ Golden State - 89-81 - W
Finally, GS was the second ranked team in the League, but the Bulls overwent some serious changes before this game, I'll post who was dealt for whom maybe tonight or somethin I have to go back and Check But Here is our NEW starting Five

C - Tyson Chandler
PF - Jermaine O'Neal
SF - Antawn Jamison
SG - Richard Hamilton
PG - Will Zager

Our Bench Is Pretty Weak I was trying to make trades but too many of our players are far too overpayed and its hard to trade....

Ok Here Is Our Entire Roster
C - Tyson Chandler
PF - Jermaine O'Neal
SF - Antawn Jamison
SG - Richard Hamilton
PG - Will Zager
Sub - Carmelo Anthony (SF)
Sub - Khlaid El-Amin (PG)
Sub - Eric Piatkowski (SG)
Sub - Antonio Daniels (PG)
Sub - Vic Patterson (C)
Sub - Odium Steele (PF)
Sub - Theo Harrington (PF)
IR - Ben Wheat (SF)
IR - ***
IR - ***

And Here's How We Aquired that roster
Bulls Trade:
LeBron James
Suns Trade:
Carmelo Anthony

Trade Thoughts: LeBron Just wasn't showing up like he should be, I know he had a great showing in the Playoffs last year, but we needed some changes and I felt that Carmelo Ended up a Better fit than LeBron as of Right Now, Who knows, I might regret this trade later but right now I stand by my decision

Bulls Trade:
Donyell Marshall
Vincent Yarbrough
Pacers Trade:
Jermaine O'Neal
Ruben Wolkowyski

Trade Thoughts - I really needed help at Power Forward, Donyell Marshall was starting to get a little bit older and Probably would've started declining next year, I've been shopping around for a replacement for him for awhile. Vincent Yarbrough and Ruben Wolkowyski were just both thrown in to make the trade work.

Bulls Trade:
Trajan Langdon
Jamal Crawford
Ruben Wolkowyski
Nuggets Trade:
Richard Hamilton
Khalid El'Amin
Ben Wheat

Trade Thoughts - This was probably a pretty unfair trade, but actually with the Nuggets getting the advantage, Trajan Langdon and Jamal Crawford at least right now are both still pretty solid players but Trajan Langdon was not suiting my needs for a starting SG after I got rid of LeBron and Jamal Crawford came in to the season very out of shape and had declined 3 points down to a 77 player. Richard Hamilton who has an 84 rating was the best rated shooting guard I could get and judging from the Golden State game It looks like he'll fit in pretty nicely. Ruben Wolkowyski, Khalid El'Amin and Ben Wheat were all just thrown in to make the trade work again.

Bulls Trade:
Chucky Atkins
Trail Blazers Trade:
Antonio Daniels

Trade Thoughts - Chucky Atkins (75) was actually rated 4 points better than Daniels (71) but Antonio Daniels has always been one of my favorite players and I work well with him. When you work well with someone it doesn't matter what their ratings are y'know? All Daniels really needs to do anyways is be able to pass it to the scorers and not get turnovers, something Chucky Atkins seemed to have trouble with when he did get in the game.

:arrow: Any Thoughts That Anyone else has about any of these trades that I've made would be greatly appreciated!

:arrow: Also If Anyone has any Ideas on any other Trades that they would like to recommend right now then that would be very helpful too.

Thanks!

Wow, Someone Really Needs to Reply to these....Please? :oops:

Just Opinions on Rosters and Trades and Games and/or Hints for NOT losing just about Every Game on Superstar or somethin?

Ok, Anyways Played 3 More Games...Here They Are

@ Washington - 109- 74 - L
Yep They Kicked our butts pretty badly, we stuck with 'em for most of the first half but after that....yeah....

@ Portland - 90-84 - L
This one Was so Close, We had em until the last like 3 minutes, we were actually Neck and Neck most of this game, a Very Dissapointing Loss for the Bulls

VS New York (OT) - 104-102 - L
Wow, I thought the LAST game was close, we were up 3 in the fourth quarter with about 24 seconds to go, Knicks waste alot of time off the clock passin it around until about the 6 second mark they pass it to Spree who managed to get a few feet away from Jamison and he Nails the three :evil: , Ties it up, We have about 3 Seconds left to score, Jamison passes it into Zager who can't find any openings and has to shoot over 3 Knicks Defenders from the top of the Key, He misses :cry: , In OT The Game just went back and forth until we got stuck with the last shot with about 2 seconds left, not enough time to get open and get a decent shot really unless your Michael Jordan, Heartbreaker, Thought We'd at least win either this one or the Portland game, man....

Trade Rumors:
:idea: After Playing Against Him Bulls are looking at ways to get Frank Williams as a Backup PG...

:idea: The Bulls are also shopping around Eric Piatkowski as he's a big Dissapointment, The Bulls tried to get him as a 3 point specialist type of guy but he has not hit one Three Pointer this season, He has the highest three point rating on the whole team, but still hasnt hit one yet this season.

Questions, Comments, How DO I WIN?!

Thanks Guys!

Will

What rosters did u use for your rookies, because if u used nlsc rosters you shud go for Reece Gaines as he is a versitile guard and with nlsc rosters he seems to hit loads of 3's for me, altho i only play all-star, how hard is superstar cos i can win very game pretty easy now.

Yay! People Responded!

Yeah I only use the 02-03 rosters to start this, except I added the top 3 draft guys *LeBron, Darko, Melo. Those are the only three from 03-04 Rookies that I got...

whats your record???? and try to trade piatkowski for casey jacobsen or dermarr johnson...


Ummmm.....I Just Played One More Game last Night against the Kings, so With that I Think I'm 1-6? Yeah, In Response to Match_66 Superstar IMO is ALOT harder than All-Star cause on All-Star I could win like any game I wanted almost, but in Superstar I am just gettin' my butt whooped, maybe I'll figure it out sooner or later but I dunno...Oh, And I'll Look into that Trade, Thanks :)

Thanks for Your Input Guys! Keep it Comin!

Bulls Trade:
Khalid El'Amin
Sacramento Trades:
Damon Jones

Trade Thoughts: This is another one kind of like trading for Antonio Daniels, He's not rated THAT good but for oen thing, I really didnt like Khalid El'Amin and Damon Jones considering their both actually rated the same is a much better player. This Trade occured right before the Sacramento game, both players suited up to play, And Let's just say one of them outshined the other (Read the Game Summary Below)


VS Sacramento 106-78 - L
This Game was the worst of the Season by far, just discouraging and embarrasing, the Kings Could not Miss ANYTHING, Their Rookie center was rated like a 74 and he made Everthing he took still no matter where from. Just One of those Games...We Weren't Even in it after the first quarter really. On a plus side though Damon Jones had an Awesome Debut scoring 21 Points topped only by Will Zagers 23 on the Bulls, Mike Bibby got POG with 29 Points for the Kings.

Trade Rumors:
:idea: (Thanks to Martin) Eric Piatkowski is Still Being Shopped
:idea: Possible Trades are rumored to be Demarr Johnson or Casey Jacobson

damn i mite not shift up quite yet, i still havent learned how to rebound,
Nice stuff on Damon Jones ive got him in my boston franchise and hes a good combo guard, from the reports u give u dont seem to score inside too much so u shud try and get rod grizzard, hes a awesome slasher, he pulled off 28 points in a playoff game for me in limited minutes

Also i was gonna ask were u allowed to use ftp uploads at geocities cos im trying to find a host for my site

I love this, People are replying! :D

Yeah I Have been trying to go inside more because cutting and all that just doesnt seem to work too well on Superstar as well as on All-Star.

I'll Take a Look at Rod Grizzard Thanks

And as for the Geocities thing, If I understand what you're asking correctly then You have to use their "Easy Upload" Feature to upload files.

Hope That Helps!

Thanks for the Interest!

Keep em' Comin! :D

Well, Trade Reports and Stuff First!

Bulls aquire Free Agent Shooting Guard Casey Jacobson for 1 Year minimum deal.

Trades:
I Found Rod Grizzard and Demarr Johnson, However Negotiations are currently at a stand still with their two teams. Doesn't look likely that I'll be able to get either of them.

Eric Piatkowski goes to the IR list with a Hurt Toe.

@ Indiana - 89-65 - L
Wow! I have no Idea how I'm gonna win on Superstar at all, I'm gonna finish the season out with it, Hopefully I won't get frustated enough to Sim any games...Next Season It's looking Likely that I'm gonna switch back to All-Star barring a miracle...There's Really not much to say about the game, They made all their shots we couldn't have bought a shot this game...overall, very dissapointing game, hope we do better next time, Our next game is against the Spurs, the Game after that is the All-Star Game! Finally, a little bit of fun!

Hope you guys are havin fun readin' this! Keep Respondin', It makes it a whole lot more interesting for me, Thanks!

Superstar is Starting to get really frustrating, I don't know how you guys do it, I can't do anything on Superstar, and they hit every single shot they take almost! :evil:

Anyways...

:evil: @ San Antonio - 95-73 - L
ARRRGGHH! We had the lead by 4 at halftime and then totally fell apart in the third quarter, they got ahead by 10 and we never recovered and they just kept adding onto their league, Coach Cartwright got incredibly frustrated and decided to put all Subs in for the last 4 minutes of the 4th quarter. Of Course this didn't really change anything at all :roll:

Trades:
None

:!: Pheonix offered Lorin Profit (Somethin' Like That) For Carmelo Anthony, I looked at his ratings and decided not to take the risk as Carmelo still has the potential to develop into a superstar.

:idea: Trade Deadline is February 23rd, Still have the All-Star game (Which is Next) and then 3 more games before the Trade deadline, any more suggestions would be much appreciated and very helpful as we really can't get any worse...Wow this'll be like the first time I'm gonna get a really good draft pick! Should be interesting...

Thanks Guys!
