re: TDBA: The Franchise, Year 3: Draft In Progress

Joel will be playing v starters Boban only plays v scrubs...big difference.

He plays v scrubs, I wouldnt trade a second rounder for that due.

Nope once Embiid settles into the league say by year 3 he will eclipse those #s.

If embiid was in this year's draft he'd go ahead of the guy you just took with your first pick.

Jk Still PCT's pick.

Are we really drafting now?

Nope...I want to see how the draft shakes out before I consider my picks. Gun to my head, I take Jamal Murry @3 but last week it was Bender. IDK.

I dont hate it at all, it's actually very useful.

But there are 30 NBA teams and only 11 centers even averaged 30 or minutes per game last season. So their numbers usually never come to fruition as they are in a timeshare or just a straight backup. The position just isnt that valuable anymore

A guy Cole Aldrich has a per 36 of 12/12/3 over 7 NBA seasons. There will never be an opportunity for that guy to even get 20 mpg. Centers are the kings of sexy PER 36


But say grabbing a guy like Kent Bazemore last year before he was gifted the starting role. You knew there was an open spot for him, his per 36 suggested a cat filler, pick the dude up and reap the benefits once he pops. Ive noticed a lot of teams wised up and began adding soon to be FAs with sexy per 36 who may jump into more PT

You getting bored this offseason? Outside of dumping Parsons, Im not sure I see your vision in these trades youve made. Care to enlighten?

I had to go back and check your roster from the playoffs. You were nearly 20 gamees over .500. I feel like your roster is noticeably weaker now.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I am trying to rebuild. And I totally disagree...I am not one to brag about winning or losing trades, but from my perspective I have done well for myself. I've traded older players for younger players with higher upside (in my mind). Maybe part of your problem is that you are looking at the roster now without factoring #3 and #6. I am pretty certain that I am getting two studs to group with McCollum, Randle & Okafor.

The trade I just made, I like Mirotic better than both Evan Turner and Demarre Carrol, and like what I saw from Curry. I think he's a good buy low candidate.

Festus Ezili is going to get paid and will have a bigger role next year. Alex Burks was solid before injury and is at worst a decent bench option.

Teletovic isn't young but he's a flame thrower. Bazemore is a nice piece.

Man I just have to disagree. The 2nd half of the year my team was average and the roster I had after the playoffs was closer to a 10th place team than a 1st place team. I was actually looking at the way you rebuilt your team and was doing something similar. But I def disagree with your assessment of me just trading to trade. I am active yeah but the moves I have made this offseason make sense and are making up for the bad ones I made last year.
