theJ Posted July 30, 2020 Author Share Posted July 30, 2020 Bobcats won the championship. Dang, can't believe they beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Pretty poor pick from the Nuggets (22). I traded it to the Pacers for their 2019 1st. That leaves me with 0 picks this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I only have one FA this year - Chad Elliott. I'm going to try to get him back though and bring the whole squad back together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Since i have no picks, i'm not going to log the whole scouting report. It's a lot of work. Instead i'll just post the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ah i skipped the draft because i didn't want to sit through it. Now i don't have the draft results. I can tell you that the Pacers took Harry Byrd and he's a 73 OVR with A+ potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Larry Byrd was GM of the Pacers during this timeframe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 A few updates from last night: Players Options/Qualifying Offers Took Team Option for Tracy King (5.08M) Took Team Option for Scot Sheridan (1.74M) Took Team Option for Peter Boyd (1.93M) Qualifying offer extended to Chad Elliott (1 / 5.81M) Qualifying offer extended to Leonard Gray (1 / 2.80M) Free Agency Offered deal to Chad Elliott 3 / 31.51M with 1 year Team Option (total 4 years) - DECLINED Chad accepted a different deal (3 / 30.37 with 1 year Player Option) - Matched Chad accepted another deal (3 / 30.75 with 1 year Player Option) - Matched Matched deal to Leonard Gray (2 / 6.25M) Training Camps Vin Hill - Perimeter Defense (+6 Stl and On Ball D) - Now 82 OBD and 71 Stl, 78 OVR (+1) Dale Burke - Perimeter Defense - Now 90 On Ball D and Stl Hill i've decided to invest in, even with the B- potential. It reminds me a lot of Burke, who had a B- potential coming out. He's obviously far surprised that. So i'm going to invest in him and hope he outperforms his initial potential rating. Which means i'll have a decision to make next year with Tracy King. He's developed into a nice player, but with a bunch of picks next year, and Hill looking promising, it might make sense to let him walk. But that decision can be deferred until i have all the information, since the draft happens before FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DUKE Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Shouldn't Burke and McGuire be playing 40+ minutes a night? They are by far your best players and in the prime of their careers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i've noticed is that if i do that, they're dog tired at the end of the season and aren't putting up very good efficiency numbers. In previous seasons i've scheduled them for 35/36 min and both A) they don't play those minutes and B) they put up worse numbers. It's weird.
