Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

all true points. but i also consider that their first round pick of this year is still overseas, and they have a new coach so i would keep at least one more year, maybe two. i would until his contract ends

[SoundTheAlarm]

As far as Will Bynum goes....

Off the top of my head I was thinking maybe a trade with the Lakers? Fisher announced his retirement, and Blake isnt that great. Maybe something along the lines of :

DET Trades:
Will Bynum

LAL Trades:
Devin Ebanks or Matt Barnes
2nd round pick?

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

sounds pretty good, i would do ebanks because he's younger

Yes, but I wasn't sure if LA would part with him for exactly that reason

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

its possible because since they were starting him at the beginning of the year, he's faded to almost no time

That won't work money wise. Plus, Bynum isn't better than Fisher or Blake really. I know you said Fisher will retire, but they can sign someone better than Bynum in free agency. Truthfully, Bynum is pretty untradeable

Yeah, don't settle for Will Bynum, in the offseason you can go after Dragic or Sessions.

I don't really care that he put him on 8th seed, but the pieces the Grizzles got back were awful. The Bucks don't have any expiring contracts to give back either. Remember Udrih still has that player option.

Earlier in my Association, I traded Ellis from GS to Indy for Danny Granger. The Bucks were starting to lose ground in the division and are in a dogfight for the last 3 playoff spots. The top teams in each conference are mostly the teams you would expect to see, none of which really needed Randolph. I traded him to Milwaukee because they could really use him to keep from slipping out of the playoffs and hopefully climb up higher. Phoenix was really the only other option since they were 8th in the west, but I wasn't about to deal with that mess. I felt Milwaukee had a little more to offer. I also threw in MIL's 2012 1st that's Top 10 protected since they weren't getting back the best of pieces.

In the roster I'm using, Udrih has no player option. Ilyasova and Mbah a Moute also have fairly decent potential. Mbah should be a valuable role player off the bench and Ilyasova is going to push Arthur for the starting role. I know it wasn't the best of trades, but I don't feel that either team got screwed by any means. I'm not going for super-realism here, but at the same time I like to keep it fair and down to earth. It's only the 3rd trade I've pulled so far. I liked it, and that's all that matters in the end, right? Thanks for all you guys' inputs though, it helped a lot!

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

Right now I'm playing with the Warriors and I am currently the 2 seed. Tragedy struck though and Curry is now out for the season. I am looking at making a trade to upgrade my PG position now.

With Jeremy Lin's playing the way he is, the Knick's don't have enough time to play Baron Davis. So I thought I would go after him. I was going to offer Brandon Rush for Mike Bibby, Baron Davis, and Steve Novak. Bibby and Novak were just in there for salary cap purposes and they don't any minutes right now anyway for the Knicks. Let me know if people think this trade is fair or if you have any better suggestions for who I should go after

Another idea; Temporarily boosting players' OFF or DEF Awareness based on their coach.
A=4+
B=2+
C=0
D=2-
F=4-
These are for OFF and DEF ratings, for Teacher rating, use the same scale but for POT rating.*These don't add up, the players keep the boosts for as long they're with that coach. I'm gonna add a tab to my Spreadsheet to keep track of that. I was also thinking that we could simulate Chemistry by giving boosts or decreasing some AWR points for things like getting new players, having a veteran, firing a coach, winning and losing streaks,etc.
Feedback? I want coaches to actually matter.

2K ratings for coaches completely sucks though. So that seems really flawed way of doing it

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

I was just thinking that, so maybe we could come up with some criteria to rate coaches(the ones that are real, not the generic ones).

Re: Bedwardsroy19 30-Team Control Association Guide/Discussion

Ok I so actually have a trade for myself to run by everyone.

In my Thunder association I'm 2 weeks out from the trade deadline. Both Sefolsha and Harden are hurt, not out, just hurt, but they seem to be the two most injury prone guys on the team. My concern isn't really for the team at present but for the stretch run and playoffs, I can't afford to have them both playing below their top level. I want to make a move to shore up the back-up SG and SF role if one of them happens to go down for a long stretch. The Kings apparently want to move Garcia, his contract is pretty bad for team that is trying to rebulid and save the team from leaving town. Here's what I'm thinking.

Kings receive:
N. Mohammed
Royal Ivey

Thunder receive:
Garcia

Both Mohammed and Ivey are one year deals so the Kings can clear them off the cap in the offseason. I don't have an issue taking on Garcia as it's just a two year deal and Aldrich can take over Moahammed's role off the bench. Plus once I get to the playoffs the rotation will shorten to just Perkins, Ibaka, and Collison so it's not like I need a lot out of Cole anyway.

Anyone see any problems with this move for me or the Kings?

I'm not sure I love this trade for you. You have 4 sg's on your roster and no real backup SF. I think you would be better off going after SF

True, but Durant plays 38-40 minutes a game and Harden/Thabo/Cook fill in for the remaining 8-10 minutes so it's a huge need. I'll see if there is a better/more desirable(to me) player I can get as I'm not big on Garcia, I just knew Sacramento was looking to move him.
