Antonio Cameron-Perimeter offense
Bishop Black-Conditioning
Antonio will move to the SG where he will be able to truly showcase his athletic ability. But with Blackshear now sharing the backcourt alot of spot up opportunities should present itself.
Bishop Black will be our starting center. His size and rebounding is very much needed and his ability to set strong picks and pass out the post is a bonus that will instantly help our squad. He came into camp outta shape so he needs to to get on a weight training program ASAP.
Free Agency
After a very successful draft where I aquired 2 starters Idecided that I would fill in some need positions that will help us get wins now! Teams needs right now are..
*Shot blocking
*3pt shooting
*Backup PG
Since I have the house rule stating that no lottery team can sign any of the top 5 available FA at each position we aren't gonna be able to get that impact guy that we need. I had to think for a bit but I settled on:
PG-Juwan Bradley
PF-Denim McCalister
Juwan will be our backup PG buw will most likely be our 3rd ball handler behind Blackshear and Cameron. He is ok at running an offense but his passing ability is why he's here. He is one of those guys you just look at and be like "Did he really just make that pass!"
Denim is an athletic PF who specialized in highlight reel blocks and dunks. He wont do much else for you but hey he's an undrafted FA lol. If he can stay health I expect him to play 6-14 MPG for us.
Preseason
With new players comes a new attitude and that attitude is aggressive! After being a laughing stock just a few short months ago, we now sport one of the more exciting starting units in the Eastern conference.
Starters
PG-Whakil Blackshear
SG-Antonio Cameron
SF-Vernon Maxiell
PF-Jay Salah
C-Bishop Black
Happy times in Philly again! Blackshear will be our leader of the future offense and defensively. His presence on the court allows Cameron to run the wing with Maxiell and also he will be able to play the style of defense I want from my SG.
After The preseason that my squad had I AM READY TO RUMMMBBBLLLEEEE!!! Regular season reports will be done bi-monthly so I can get some uninterrupted game time in.

Team Outlook
With the roster we currently have and the type of schemes that our coaches are planning to implement we have 4 players that will definitely be staying for the near future. starters Antonio Cameron, Vernon Maxiell, Jay Salah, and reserve center Marcus Collier. I can't stress enough how much faster you can build a contender if you REALISTICALLY scout your squad and make moves that compliments your players currently signed to your team!
Team strengths
* Athletic guards
* potential to score in bunches
* MAJOR cap space
Team weaknesses
* Conditioning
* 3pt shooting
* rebounding
* defense (post & perimeter)
* lack of a true leader
As you can see I have my hands full with this team, but as I said before go into the offseason with tweaks in mind and I think any team can be turned around with our draft classes.
Draft Preview
After all the lottery balls we drawn our future in Philly started to get a little clearer. We wound up with the #2 pick in the DC6 draft and we couldn't be any happier...maybe if we lander the #1 pick
With all the hooplah surrounding this draft class being in the top 5 is just as comfortable as being the #1 pick. The Bobcats own the top pick and they made it know that one of the star point guards would be spending the next 4 years in Carolina. We own the #2 selection and it's been well documented that we want Whakil Blackshear at ANY cost. Atlanta is 3rd and they have a true MAN crush on swingman Martavious Elliot, it'll be interesting to see if he makes his home in the A or will the Hawks surprise everybody and go another direction. #4 belongs to Toronto, the Raps have been keeping things pretty close to the vest about their potential prospects picks, maybe trying to one up the other GM's in an effort to get on of the mega talents at the top of the draft! And lastly we have Boston at #5. The C's need to address their bigman issues and they need to do it yesterday! They have been secretly coveting Oklahoma Deandre White and UCLA forward Gavin Williamson since they announced their intent to enter the NBA draft.
DC6 Draft top 20
1. Bobcats- Whakil Blackshear(traded to Philly)
2. Sixers- Ayo Wilson(traded to Charlotte)
3. Hawks- Deandre White(traded to Boston)
4. Raptors- Gavin Williamson
5. Celtics- Martavious Elliot(traded to Atlanta)
6. Lakers- Christian McClain
7. Pelicans- Tiago Souza
8. Suns- Malik Snyder
9. Bucks- LaMarcus Miller
10. Kings- Tyree McCullough
11. T'Wolves- Domingo Garcia
12. Magic- Jabri Wilson
13. Jazz- Chris Griffin
14. Nuggets- Jett Delgado
15. Wizards- Kambrell Hampton
16. Pistons- Joe Spearman
17. T'wolves- Deebo Evans
18. Spurs- Semso Kamesivic
19. Jazz- Colin Henry
20. Clippers- Evan Robinson
Our Draft picks
1st ovr Whakil Blackshear(via trade)
36th ovr Bishop Black
coming into the draft our GM had a Blackshear or bust mentality and all the other teams knew it. Luckily for MJ and the Bobcats they received that all mighty #1 pick and so trade talks began, the result...
Sixers get: draft rights to #1 overall pick Whakil Blackshear
Bobcats get: draft rights to #2 overall pick Ayo Wilson, PF Nigel Hawes, SG Bryce Joseph, 2015 and 2016 1st round picks
On paper it looks like we overpaid for Whakil's services, but the intangible gains is way more attractive to the teams long term future then a bunch of young players who the city/team might not embrace as well. Blackshear is "The one!"
Gameplan
Slowing down the Heat's transition game will be the focus tonight. We will look to take the ball out of Darius Players hands and make the other 4 starters playmakers instead of finishers.
Sixers keys for victory
* Rebound with passion!
* Win the Darius Player/ Vernon Maxiell matchup
* Need to force Miami to play slow & ugly
* Antonio Cameron has to dominate the much smaller Nick Donato
*Free agent signing of SF Amir Hollins*
When it rains it pours! After starting off hot the Sixers talent level reared its ugly head. Miami decided that play time was over by out scoring us 59-38 in the 2nd & 3rd qts combined. Darius Player must've hit the on switch after the 1st qt because he seemed to seem more motivated by the teams slow start. The recipiant of Player's increased intensity was Antonio Ramirez, after bhaving an awful start to the game he kept firing away until those shots started dropping....to the Sixers dismay.
The sixers did all they could with the talent we have but it's obvious that we will struggle this season unless a 3rd scoring option steps up. Antonio Cameron had a productive offensive game but he also spelled disaster when we trying to put Miami away early. Vernon Maxiell played decently but his lack of defensive intensity was exposed as the game went forward. Our post players really need to step it up! Salah gave us an uninspired 31 minutes of play only tallying 10 points and 5 rebounds, Nigel Hawes while he looks like he can do a few things he just doesn't fit into our mold at all and will be used as trade fodder in the very near future.
Top Performaces
Player of the game: Darius Player(Mia) 41 minutes 20 points 8 rebounds 6 assists 2 steals

Day #1 5:30 am:
I sit in my plush new office contemplating how I am going to turn this proud franchise back into contender and all signs point to the offseason of DC6! But 1st we have to evaluate the talent on our current roster so we can properly guage where we will be focusing our attention come draft day.
We will be giving every starter on the team a letter grade and then the bench will be assigned a grade also. These grades a specifically tied to how our coaches will be running our franchise personnel and scheme wise. Just because a player has a low grade doesn't mean he's not a good player it just means he doesn't fit what we expect out of our players for our franchise.
PG-Antonio Cameron=B: A.C. is a damn fine athlete and he plays above the rim like we want out of our guards. But he is not the long term answer to lead our franchise against Brooklyn, Miami, and Indy for the next 4 or 5 years. I picture Cameron as our future super 6th man or an athletic wing who doesn't have to worry about getting other players involved.
SG-Bryce Joseph=C-: Bryce is a good guy but in this LEAGUE we don't have time for nice guys! We need players who can get it done on a nightly basis. Bryce has shown the ability to hit the open jumper but his inability to take his game to that next level is a major
concern for a franchise who is already stuck in mud. This position will be upgraded by either a free agent or a 2nd round pick.
SF-Vernon Maxiell=B: Jason is the teams best scorer. He can post, he can hit shots from anywhere on the floor and his confidence is top notch. My only concerns is his athleticism, he's not the most agile player and he looks uninterested on most defensive possessions but he just flat out get buckets! On a team that will struggle to score on most night his talent is VERY needed at this point.
PF-Nigel Hawes=C+: I can't lie I like Nigels ability to stretch the floor with his range...but damn..that's all he can do! He's going to get bullied on a nightly basis on the block and I just can't have that! If he remains a Sixer it will be only as a role player.
C-Jay Salah=B+: This is the teams wildcard! He is one of those players who GMs loves to say has unlimited potential, he's long,
SUPER athletic, but the one word I HATE but it definitely applies here is that he is very RAW. Just having picked up the game of basketball means two things. Either he's going to take to the game and become a star or he will get smothered by the competition an be a flop. Only time will tell.
Bench=F: our bench is a complete mess! I will look to improve our bench with a decent role player in free agency or hopefully I strike gold in the draft! I will be targeting a true PG or a great post scoring threat with my 1st rd pick. With my 2nd rd I will be looking for a shooter or a tough guy player who can knock some people around or get some ugly buckets when the jumpers aren't falling.
Top 5 draft hopefulls:
PG-Whakil Blackshear
C-Deandre White
PF-Gavin Williamson
C-Thiago Souza
PF-Deebo Evans
2nd round targets
SG-Justyn Chestnut
SG-Thomas Benning
PG-Devon Elliot
C-Colin Henry

6a. All teams will have 2 prospect scouts to help with scouting.
6b. I will be making the lottery selections for all teams using the scouted players lists for each lottery team.

Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Walking into the stadium I feel very optimistic about our chances in tonight's game vs the Chicago Bulls. Our young players have great mentors on the team in Devin Harris and LaMarcus Aldridge, and I also feel that Michael Carter-Williams is primed and ready to become the next superstar PG in the NBA.
The Matchup
Derrick Rose is just so destructive to a defense that if you dare leave him singled up on defense he can easily give you 30 pentrating straight through the teeth of the defense. Our gameplan is an WILL always be too make someone else beat us. Jimmy Butler is a pretty good spot up shooter but Lanier is kinda shaky, so the plan will be to double hard on Rose in dribble drive situations and rotate hard to Jimmy Butler on kickouts. Lanier should get a boat load of wide open shots but it's pick your poison dealing with Rose so we going with that gameplan defensively.
Offensively I plan on exploiting the huge mismatch with Lamarcus Aldridge and Taj Gibson. After a few quick baskets in the half court sets the Bulls defense will have no choice but to send help and that should give us the space we need to get our shooters open or create better driving lanes. MCW will have to play under control and watch his passes, Chicago has on off the best defensive starting 5's in the NBA. We are also going to have to get our newly aquired players up to speed with how we our running our sets, Player will be a jack of all trades guy for us of the bench for now and Anderson's energy and hustle to the backboard reminds me of Kenny Faried.
Game film-----Sorry for the quality on this one
Ugggghhhh...sneaking away with a 1 point victory in this contest got me hype to play some more 2K!! Our game plan to force Rose to be a passer worked as well as it could. Rose only attempted 13 fg and you can attribute that to the Sixers swarming and double teaming everywhere he went. Jimmy Butler performed well dropping 26-5-3 in 41 mins. Will Lanier had a career night and a couple of nasty highlight dunks Eeeeewwwww!!
The 76ers gameplan to attack through Aldridge proved to be a great coaching decision, albeit an easy one. 30pts and 14rb had the Bulls defense just as on edge as Rose had to ours. ET had a decent statline posting 18pts 4rb and 2as but shooting only 1-8 in two point shots is nnot gonna cut it! Wroten needs to improve his jumpshot, defenses are leaving him open on the wing to help on MCW penetration so either he need's to improve or penetrate more, also cut down on the turnovers(5). Carter-Williams had a laid back game 13-5-7 but he protected the ball and hounded Rose all night so we can't complain about the outcome.
Next Game vs the Dallas Mavericks
Welcome to opening night and a look at our Eastern Conference Champion 76ers!
| Philadelphia 76ers Depth Chart - 2016 | ||||
| STARTER | 2ND | 3RD | 4TH | |
| PG | Michael Carter-Williams | Devin Harris | Jaque Parker | |
| SG | Tony Wroten | Chip Kelley | ||
| SF | Evan Turner | Darius Player | Tristan Coles | |
| PF | Lamarcus Aldridge | Arnett Moultrie | Vergil Anderson | Alonzo Scott |
| C | Nerlens Noel | Guillermo Santos | ||
Team Leader Lamarcus Aldriged will be looked to again this year to anchor the offense from the high and low post in our half court sets. Michael Carter-Williams is progressing nicely as a player and we have rewarded him with a handsome contract extension(5yr/57M) to keep him right here in Philly. Tony Wroten has played steadily but I really wanted him to be the backup PG but until we can find an ideal replacement at the two he will do just fine. Evan Turner is in a contract year as he can opt-out of his contract and become a free agent. Rumblings in the preseason had Turner wanting to return to the Ohio area and play ball for the Cavs next season...we will deal with the Turner contract situation around the all-star break unless a deal knocks us out the water. Nerlens is getting on my last nerve! For starters he's is a walking visit to the ER, he's already talking about making the most money possible when he has so much to work on game wise. Very dissappointing but what can you do, todays athletes want the world before they earn it.
Our bench production should continue to improve with the additions of Player and Anderson, Chip Kelley still remains and still shoot's the lights out, Moultrie is a throwback big thats plays solid defense a rebounds at a high rate. Former 1st round pick Tristan Coles and Alonzo Scott round out a very deep a talented 2nd unit for Philly.
Season prediction
I'm not even going to act like this isn't a championship caliber team! We have all the components for a great season. The keys will be to stay healthy and play togeteher as a team, rebounding has been a slight thorn in the Sixers back recently but the roster additions has seemed to close that gap greatly. No lower tha a 2 seed will be accepted after a run through the finals last season so lets get this season off on the right foot!
Next Game: Opening night vs Chicago Bulls
3-Way Trade
7ers get: Vergil Anderson, Darius Player
Bucks get Aaron Gordon
Jazz get Javale McGee,Bryce Joseph
We are looking SWEET! That trade accomplished many things, one getting rid of malcontents, two getting a young athletic big that can play 15-25 mins behind Aldridge and Noel, #3 Darius Player in the right GM hands is a special talent. Evan Turner can bolt for Free Agency if he wan't now
Now that our youth has gotten much needed experience it's time to find some veterans to put in keys places to help out when the inconsistancies of youth kick in. Backups at the PG and C positions are ideal, you can usually find a good veteran pg or C for the low if you look for them.
Draft Thoughts
Picking 27th in the draft is not optimal but since we already have a young talented roster I don't want to add a major piece without making ample room on the squad to accomodate him. Im thinking a scrappy big man or a long range bomber at pg with this position in the draft. My hopes are that Thierry Silvestrie somehow falls to our position if not then we will use our resources and make the best pick availabe.
Our picks:
#27 PF Alonzo Scott/Kansas-He's a hustler and a scrapper who loves to play strong interior defense. He is not star quality right now but with his skillset he will be able to play a max of 15 mins a game if needed
#57 PG Jaque Parker/France-Nothing really special about this guy except his great ball handling ability. If that was coupled with great passing or a great pull up jumper then we would have something..for now he looks like he may be cut at the end of preseason unless something dramatic happens overnight.
Free Agency Recap
Signed PG Devin Harris 1yr/2.3M
Signed C/PF Javale McGee 2yr/10.6M(TO)
Offer Sheet Accepted Arnett Moultrie 1yr/3M
Offer Sheet Accepted Tony Wroten 1yr/3.19M
Offseason Training
PF Alonzo Scott-Conditioning
SG Chip Kelley-Combo Guard
Major Preseason News!!
Rumors started to surface about a locker room argument that got ugly during the teams 1st preseason practice. Aaron Gordon and the recently signed Javale McGee was reported caught smoking K2 and drinking with under aged girls in a hotel room just outside of Philadelphia . No charges have been formally filed but this is not the type of example that the new gm is trying to set on the eve of his arrival. Both players have been suspended indefinitely until the investigation concludes.
Sunday, February 2, 2014
So I will give a quick overview of the next couple years and then we get into the detailed madness during my actual playing of my association so here we go!2014 Free agency recap
76ers amnesty Jason Richardson
Jazz sign Danny Granger 1/3.89M
Jazz sign Kyle Lowry 3yr/21.10M
Kings resign DeMarcus Cousins 4/57.17M
76ers sign Evan Turner 3yr/23.96M
Celtics sign Loul Deng 4yr/40.67M
Suns sign Eric Bledsoe 3yr/31.90M
Laker sign Spencer Hawes 3yr/19.25M
Lakers sign Andrew Bynum 3yr/18.92M
Mavericks sign Pau Gasol 2yr/9.82M
2015 Offseason
After our overachieving young team made the playoffs again this year, in fact we won the damn division! Now that we have experienced
early success it's time to take that next step and really make some noise in the playoffs! To do that it's gonna have to be some key
roster moves to get us over this hump. We are currently loaded with alot of young mid level talent and team leaders Evan Turner and Thad
Young seems to have hit their peak in development...what is a GM to do??
Player options
Thaddeus Young accepted his player option(PO) 1yr/9.72M
Hollis Thompson team option(TO) was declined
Brandon Davies team option(TO) was declined
James Anderson and Lorenzo Brown will be allowed to be Free agents(FA)
Current Roster thoughts
Our most pressing need is to find a player that can score in the post. I DON'T care what position it is I just need somebody to draw some attention
away from MCW, Turner, and the emerging Aaron Gordon. But drafting at 18 it's not looking like that's gonna happen this time around unless somebody drops in
the draft. Free Agency is a totally different story! Superstar PF has had enough of Portland and said he's looking for a team that wan't him to be the TRUE
focal point of the offense. Hot DAMN!! THAT'S US!! Can we say MAX CONTRACT!!
Zach Randolph will be a fall back if our offer to Aldridge falls through.Draft Needs
#1 Low post scoring
#2 Pure Shooter or a big man with range
#3 Back up Prospect PG
NBA Draft
My Picks
#18 SF Tristan Coles
#34 SG Chip Kelly
Traded Dwight Powell and 2nd to Detroit for a 2nd and the rights to SG Bryce Joseph(25th)
Free Agency
It must be something in the water!! Aldridge signed on the dotted line to give the Sixers one of the best PF's in the league,now it's looking like we might can make that splash in the playoffs that we was hoping for!
To finish the squad off I will look through our undrafted free agent and find guys that can fill spot roles in time of crisis without
crying about playing time. My targets are:
PG Calvin McPherson-This is kind of a no brainer. Getting a pretty 3pt shooter for peanuts is the first step to creating the space I need for my offense.
PF Rolando De Luca-After scouting him we revealed that that he's a hustle guy that throws it down and will pull in a nice amount of rebounds if needed.
C Marcus Collier-Flat out tank! His sole role will be to set strong screens and bully people. If he shoots the ball I will slap him Bob Knight style
Offseason training ***The bread and butter of maximizing our players***
PG Chip Kelly (Combo Guard) Reasons being that Chip while he is a great shooter he needs alot of space to start knocking those shots down consistantly
and since most defenders will stick to him like glue it's needed that he improve his ball handling and shot in traffic. Passing is needed also because
he will be loooked at as an emergency PG if the need ever arises..hopefully it doesn't
SF Tristan Coles (Offensive Fundamentals) Ok here's how we attack this situation. Since you can't be a NBA SF/PF and gone be blowing layups and what not,
well not at least on my team you won't! The boost was enough to get him to a more comfortable level, next year his progression will put him in an even better
spot and the rest of his game will grow around that. We might have a steal on our hand folks!
SF Aaron Gordon (Basketball 101) If Gordon is to make that next step to greatness he's gonna have to get into the playbook and get focused. The signing of
Aldridge seemed to motivate Gordon.
PG Calvin McPherson (Atleticism) Before I get started I would like to say that perimeter defense was considered but take this thought process. If you look at
his stats he will NEVER be a solid defender so why waste time right?? Now we move to something that will help Calvin help YOU! Standing 6'4 he is a tall PG
so you should have no problems shooting over smaller defenders the problem is gonna come against physical defenders who know how to position themselve's in
between him and the basket. The boost to his speed, vert, and quickness should be enough to make him a threat when he steps out there.
C Marcus Collier(Conditioning) He came into camp a little out of shape so he got to get his @$$ in shape if he ever want's to play a game in the NBA
PF Rolando De Luca (Rebounding) Rolando stated to me that he wanted to be the Italial Dennis Rodman?!? You know what young man...sold!!
2015-16 Season recap
Well well well so we took that next step into winning 50 games in the regular season and got a 2 seed in the playoffs, and makes it to game 7 of the NBA
finals only to come up short! The heart break!! Well at least we got the city back behind us! Time to take this bad boy over and get started on greatness
As you can see we made the palyoffs but got bouced in 6 by the Pacers. I wasn't expecting playoffs this early but we will take it and grow from the experience
Starting up my association at todays date with the 76ers leaves me a great chance of landing a top 5 pick in this years lottery(15-32). Hopefully this won't be a trend for the next couple of seasons but for now it's very much welcomed!
Roster Outlook
Out of this group of players our 1st and most pressing need will be to convince swingman Evan Turner that life in Philly will be much better in the very near future. And to pay him handsomely to keep him in town lol. I will not be trying to make any major splashes in free agency for this season. To keep it realistic there's a snowball chance in H&ll that a player like Melo, Duncan, Gasol,or Dirk would want to play here just yet so it's the draft and mid level FA's until we turn the corner or get a marquee rookie that might draw a FA to town.
Resign urgency
Turner: Extreme
Hawes: Medium
Allen: Medium
Dedmon: Low
Top Free Agents
Tim Duncan 37yr (PO)
Carmelo Anthony 29yr (PO)
Anthony Davis 20yr (2yrT)(RFA)
Kyrie Irving 21yr (TO)(RFA)
Ricky Rubio 23yr (TO)(RFA)
Kawhi Leonard 22 (TO)(RFA)
Hopefully Jason Richardson takes his 6mil dollar salary and take a hike! That would leave us the flexibility to sign 2 max contract players after drafting potentially Wiggins or Parker
Buuuutttt. If you have enough cap room and want to make a run a restricted free agent(RFA) then you have a good chance of getting a good young player if you make him an offer that his current team can't or won't match. Dependeing on how the draft shake out I will be launching a contractual attack on the Golden State Warriors hoping to pry young sharpshooter Klay Thompson out of the bay area.
Draft Hopes
Speaking of how the draft shakes out...my current roster situation leaves me in kind of a crazy spot. We have young players in MCW, Noel, Turner, Young, and Hawes but I feel this group is not built to achieve what we all ultimately want to do on a nightly basis and thats to win basketball games. The middle of the roster needs a complete overhaul and it starts on draft day, Jabari Parker or Andrew Wiggins would be great but a guy like Marcus Smart or Julius Randle would be an excellent step into resurrecting this dead franchise.
Next update will be the 2014 offseason report and 2014 NBA Draft Coverage!

1. I play 2 predeterminded games in each calendar year(simming the rest)I play all playoff games if we qualify
2. Since I only control 1 team, player roles will be off and trading will only be active from Christmas to the trade deadline. This usually cuts down on random stupid trades by the cpu.
3. ABSOLUTELY no in season drills! Post season drills are allowed on 1st and 2nd year players only.
4. Can only trade or attain a 1st round pick once every 3 years.
5. The use of untapped potential is allow but only once every 3 years...give your young guys time to develop. On rare occassions will a real life NBA team continue to draft high rated players at the same position before they kno if they lost out on their initial investment.

Our next 2 games in this first round matchup takes place in noe other than my home town Philadelphia. The Sixers has been a royal pain in my @$$ this series and it doesn't look like they are going to go down lightly. Klay Thompson's threat of the long ball has kept the Cavs off-balanced so far and Evan Turner has been just as effective if not more than his matchup Kevin Durant. Stephen Braithwaite is making the most of his matchup with Lavoy Allen, his size,athletic ability, and shooting has kept the favored Cavaliers in games but Cleveland is going to need Jerome Sims and KD to step it up on the defensive side or we could have a major upset brewing!
Earlier we said we needed big plays from Jerome Sims and Kevin Durant and in the waining moments of overtime down a point in the dynamic duo showed why they are who they are. Kevin Durant curls of a baseline screen and nails a 19 footer to put the Cavs up one, followed by the 76ers trying to run the same type of play but Jerome Sims played the passing lane disrupting the timing of the play which led to an air ball 3pt attempt under heavy pressure. Not how we wanted to win the game but a W is a W in the playoffs...walking outta Philly up 3-1 gives my Cavs the confidence they need to wanna close out this series right in game 5! See you in Cleveland!
