[07] Philadelphia 76'ers

[Phantom18]

Chaser7,
not sure what you mean by indent?
sorry if i sound dumb its 2:40 am...

[Chaser7]

yea that was kinda dumb, lol like your recaps they don't go all the way to the end, you make your lines shorter... I think it looks kinda weird.. lol i mean its not that big of a deal, but I think it just makes it look like ur recaps are longer than they are.. anyways good luck

[Phantom18]

Chaser7,
oh haha alright ill fix that actually im going to be working on templates
you'll see

Guys I'm going to have to mark them 3 games up as pre-season games.

Due to these reasons
1) I fucked up something and don't know how to fix it.
2) I got my final version of my roster done and I want to use that.
3) I'm needing to take time off to make some graphics for this.

Philadelphia makes yet some more moves.
AP Philadelphia
Brian Briars

Was going 3-0 in the Pre-Season not enough for Philadelphia? They recently just made 3 more moves. They are acting like a MLB farm team, moving around players like it's a race. Well come to think about it, it kinda is a race. A race to the playoffs, but that's a entirely different subject. I've seen some crazy trades in my life time some shocking and some a result of bad karma [Grant Hill for Ben Wallace, anyone?].

It has been brought to our attention that Philadelphia's General Manger Daniel Springer just pulled the trigger on yet another trade. This one is a shocker though. He sent Andre Iguodala along with Willie Green packing their bags for a 1 way trip to Sacramento. What did they get in return? Two of the best scorers Sacramento has seen since they had Peja and Webber. Kevin Martin and John Salmons. Kevin Martin last season came off of a most improved player runner up season. And John Salmons is slowly but surely proving people that he can play with the best of them.

Why would Sacramento make this trade? They need another play maker thats for sure and they need someone who can be the future of the team and can contribute on every stat across the board and who can play 3 positions. They get that in Iguodala. Now Willie Green? Serviceable SG who is a decent shooter and has a nice mid range jumper, he shows lots of potential. Remember he did light up Wade for 27 points.

They also capitalized on a stark interest in veteran Center Dale Davis. When GM Springer was asked about Davis, he just smiled and said I like how he gets his team mates motivated. We are a young team and guys like Davis in 1-3 years can make a huge difference as a motivator. He also noted how he re-signed Guard Derrick Byars. When a reporter asked him "whats your plans for your starting PG position? Do you think 76ers fans are in love with the idea of Louis Williams starting? He just raised his eyebrow cleared his throat and said "I don't expect them to be happy with that idea. But what I do expect is they support us me and the rest of management and most importantly our players."


receives: Kevin Martin, John Salmons

REGULAR SEASON TO START SOON! First game vs Atlanta!

[Chaser7]

hmm.. interesting trade.. I don't really like the sixers as a team, and the roster seems a bit thin. Anyways, good luck and don't forget about my dynasty!

Kevin Martin
Player Bio

Kevin Dallas Martin, Jr. (born February 1, 1983(1983-02-01)) is an American professional basketball player currently with the Philadelphia 76'ers in the NBA. He is known for his unorthodox style of shooting.

Born in Zanesville, Ohio, he played for Zanesville High School and attended college at Western Carolina University, where he majored in sports management. He ranks fourth all-time on Western Carolina's scoring list with 1,838 points. Martin was selected by the Sacramento Kings with the 26th overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft. In the 2004–05 season, Martin averaged 2.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game. He showed much improvement the following year, averaging 10.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.3 assists. Martin also started from time to time during the 2005–06 season, which included a start at small forward due to Ron Artest being suspended for Game Two of the team's first-round playoff series against the San Antonio Spurs following a flagrant foul (elbow to the head) on Manu Ginobili.

When interviewed on a segment by TNT during a game, Martin credited Doug Christie for helping him learn how to defend in the NBA. Likewise, Martin also credited Cuttino Mobley for helping him with his shooting. Martin played behind both guards during their tenure with the Kings. [citation needed]

In the general managers' survey at the start of the 2006–07 NBA season, Martin tied for second as the player most likely to have a breakout campaign, behind Orlando Magic's Dwight Howard.[1]

Martin played in the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Zanesville Gus Mackers tournaments.

During the 2006-07 season, Kevin Martin proved himself to be among the top scorers in the NBA, averaging 20.2 points per game, while averaging 4.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists, all career highs. He is also one of the best shooters in the league with a 47.3% shooting percentage from the field and 38.1% from beyond the three-point arc (along with 84.4% FT shooting). Kevin finished second to Monta Ellis in the NBA Most Improved Player Award.

On August 28th, 2007, the Sacramento Kings and Martin agreed to a 5 year deal worth 55 million dollars. [2]

On October 31st, 2007, the Sacramento Kings traded Kevin Martin alongside John Salmons to the Philadelphia 76'ers for Andre Iquodala and Willie Green.

Nice player bio, I think the roster still needs tweaks. and I think you could have gotten more for AI2

[Phantom18]

Chaser7,
Depends on what you mean by "more"
Kevin Martin is a better scorer then Andre Igudala
Yeah sure K-Mart doesn't have all the highlight reel dunks but hes got that highly consistent jumper from anywhere. Salmons is a way better scorer then Green was. Hell to be honest I think I ripped the CPU off. Because OVR's dont mean much in the way I play just individual ratings, give me solid shooters and I'll get them a solid season.

I think when you see who I've just acquired you'll like this trade a bit more and you'll understand what I'm trying to set up a bit more.

[Phantom18]

Gooden and Dalembert combine for 35.


Box Scores
Atlanta- 94
Philadelphia- 97


Competitive 1st quarter.

The first quarter of this game was about what many analysts expected. A close game that would be decided by a shot or two. Louis Williams made his first start of the season and although he didn't score much himself [9 points] he excelled at getting his team mates involved. Kevin Martin was a disappointment offensively in the 1st quarter, he did not make a single shot in the 1st quarter. Going 0-3, blessing in disguise?

Atlanta captures the lead.

The second quarter came around. Philly started off hot going on a 4-0 run. Kevin Martin came out of the game because he wasn't performing too well. Then Atlanta went on a 23-0 scoring streak, thanks greatly to Joe Johnson's 18 point 2nd quarter effort. The buzzer buzzed. Halftime.

Philadelphia come back.

Mo Cheeks must've led one hell of a pep rally in the locker room because the 76'ers came rolling out like a pack of wolves howling and shouting they showed the fans in the stands they promised to win this game. And they didn't take that promise away. Gooden and Dalember went on a scoring rage during the 3rd quarter combining for 26 points [14/12].

Philadelphia secures the win.

Drew Gooden collected the Player of the Game award. He scored sixteen points grabbed four rebounds stole the ball twice and passed for one assist. Rodney Carney had a great game off the bench scoring 10 points in 13 minutes while grabbing 3 boards dishing out 1 assist and gathering 1 steal. Joe Johnson had a great night for Atlanta scoring 25 key points dishing out 7 assists grabbing 3 boards and getting 1 steal.

[Chaser7]

Nice recap, good stuff. Martin didn't do too well in his debut I guess haha.

Nope but oh well not sweating it its just one game.

Wow you replied to this fast

[homicide1550]

InGottiWeTrust, good win against the hawks. Too bad my boy Kevin Martin had a bad game. But maybe he will have better stats next game.

[Phantom18]

Press Conference with General Manager Daniel Springer

Media: Thanks Daniel for sitting down and speaking with us today.

Springer: Thanks a lot it is my pleasure

Media: Were you happy with the game vs the Atlanta Hawks?

Springer: Yeah I suppose. We got the win. But we still have room to improve I hope our last trade to solidify our roster for the reason will help with that, we think he will.

Media: What was the trade?

Springer: We got in contact with the Los Angeles Lakers and they expressed their need for a solid SG, and Mitch Evans run in LA could be coming to a end soon. We first off expressed our interest in Javaris Crittendon but LA didn't like the idea of trading Javaris Crittendon for Derrick Byars. So at that point I was just like okaaay, call me back if you got a counter-offer.

Media: We take it they sent back a counter-offer?

Springer: -nods- Hey FISH! Come out here boy.

-Derek Fisher walks in with 76ers jersey on and sits down smiling-


-Media looks shocked-

Fisher: Hey guys!

Springer: The final trade was rookie guard Derrick Byars, a multi-talented future star for Derrick Fisher who has 3 Championship rings under the Phil Jackson era [Pt 1] in LA.

Media: Fisher, what's your thoughts of coming and playing next to young star Kevin Martin and others in Philly?

Fisher: I have always found my way into systems that worked for me and that I worked out well for the team. This team is going in the right direction fast. I am looking forward to helping this team make a good playoff run.

Media: Thanks for your time guys, good luck in the season and drive safe.

Fisher: Your welcome.

Springer: Any time.

[Lamrock]

Nice trade and restart. The AI2-Gooden-Haywood for Chandler-Paul-Butler would have worked way more in your advantage, but this one is more realistic, and more grounded.

Nice presentation. Nice win against one of the league's worst!

[homicide1550]

InGottiWeTrust, Wow! Another trade! The Sixers sure are active in acquiring good players. Nice trade to get Fish.

Wow!!!! Very nice recap! How its presented really doesn't give all the hard work justice. Excellent touch with the team stats and the in-depth info. For the most part, all the stats are realistic. Pretty crazy seeing McCants averaging 26.6 PPG, Livingston and Iverson leading the league in assists, and KG and Dwight not in the top 5 rebounders, but that is Live for you.

Keep this up man! I'll definitely stay with this.

[SpaceFlare]

I always thought McCants would be a scorer for the Wolves, but I expected a 15-20, not a whopping 26.6 ppg

[Chaser7]

Wow superb recap, looks really good and Ican tell how much wokr you put into it... great great job!!

[homicide1550]

Great work man! That’s what I call dedication. Keep it up!

[Xiphias]

Nice recap Martin plays very good

[Phantom18]

Chaser7,
thanks that recap style is a beta compared to what ill do for december's recap

homicide1550,
i try...im still developing ideas daily this is only going to get better and better

Xiphias,
Martin is doing very well for me makes a great catch and shoot guy. Also hes getting more and more dominate inside and passing.

well I'm anxious to get to the off-season [and hopefully the play-offs]. And I don't
have the time really to post game by game at this moment, and probably never
will. But eh I'll try to make this even more efficient as time goes on.

Nice dynasty man. Very good job with the team stats, they are pretty realistic. Not a fan of such a lot of trades, but seems that your team is running very well so far.

[Isaiah]
