0 Subject: Ultimate Hoops Rosters [UPDATED]

- [27922621] Tue, Oct 15, 2002, 16:43

The other Ultimate Hoops Roster thread is getting a bit too cluttered and off topic. I think it is important that people get back to the discussion at hand: rosters (good or bad?).

Here's mine:

G: Maggette, Corey
G: Hamilton, Richard (might need to change)
G: Russell, Bryon (might need to change)
G: Alexander, Courtney (might need to change)
F: Garnett, Kevin
F: Webber, Chris
F: Miles, Darius
F: Gooden, Drew
C: Stepania, Vladimir
C: Collins, Jarron

I would look into Bobby Jackson to head up your sorry G's. It is tough going with G's that weak...but I guess your F's justify that.

LOL! Hey Smackdown, good luck this year. I trust you realize my post was not meant to be mean-spirited, I mean, I said you had a big heart...that's gotta count for something. Your team looks pretty interesting, hope it works for you. Oh, and there really is no need to post your web site, or anything like that, I know as much as I need to. Peace, bro.

My grampa always told me: 'Just cuz you don't like raisins, doesn't mean you won't like toasted raisin bread with butter.' Oh yeah, words to live by.

Satterfield has done nothing this preseason and Denver just traded for Chris Whitney.
Also, look at Jaric's minute/TSNP ratio: When you adjust the points for the minutes he will actually get, you are looking at 12 tsnp/g.

GrEEr - Perhaps people are high on Gino due to his projected averages on rotowire. If you run those numbers, he will come up as your 4th guard every time.

Goodpoint on the Guards! Be certain I will make a Guard Overhaul! In fact I may even back one Forward up and get a Stud guard. I also feel I may want to start the season with a roster close to the Norm pick-up players. Scoop up some good cash gain in that first day of price moves then feel what Cheapies I want to move to. Otherwise it is so hard to tell from Preseason. Kind of like lotto numbers.

Ya I did not take it in a bad way...Just very surprised to see 3 different people mention my name..I had no idea I was that popular. Bottom line is I will not respond to mean spirited or rude post this year. All that does is fuel them. I am here to talk B Ball. Nothing like reading a thread and then you run into 20 post all about an Arguing match. NOTE: I see the post still have arguments without me. I guess it was not just me, yet the nature of opinions in the threads?

Ya I have not seen him play yet...I just wanted to get my forwards then fill in the rest with cheapies and see what cash I had left over. Then I will take what is left and try to get the best for that amount..like a Bobby Jackson.
See I feel I like to go with Cheapies that are going to be starters. I like to get cheapies that will get the minuets that way I have a better chance of getting my 20 TSN's for a guy that cost 500 K. I think if you can get guys for that amount with that production then it is a slamdunk for point per K. Then spend your money on the studs that are the best points per K and have a great schedule as well.

I posted this on the other threads...so forgive me for the double posts. But just would like to hear some opinions on this.

Anyone have an opinon on Dan Gadzuric from Milwauekee when this guy has gotten the minutes he has really produced. He is actually averaging more points on average then McCoy. Does anyone know more about this guy and the center situation in Milwaukee?

Also anyone know what the deal is with Danny Fortson?. This guy was a monster on the boards a few years back? Just wondering where he is and if there is any chance he will cut into T-Murf's(lets see if the nickname sticks :) )minutes

Finally What are people deciding to do with Miles?. His overall schedule to start the year is great, making him a good long term hold...but does his 1 in 5 during the first week, keep him off most opening day roster?...

Thanks

I hope my more knowledgeable buddy Skip corrects any errors in this post, but I think Gadzuric is a very intriguing pick. Przybilla is out for at least the first couple weeks of the season. Ervin Johnson is probably the only other player on the roster capable of defending the post and he is really showing his age. (Never has had any offensive game of any kind.) The thing that worries me most about Gadzuric is Karl's traditional disdain for rookies. But with Ervin being so ineffective I'm not sure Karl has much choice but to give Gadzuric significant (20+) minutes, at least at the start of the season (unfortunately the Bucks' early schedule is crap). I have seen a couple of references in the Milw. papers to the effect that Mason will take the other team's 5 on defense, but I find it hard to believe that could be anything other than disinformation.

I know Davis has been rolling, but Leavy? Any word on how he has done this preseason?

Why is everyone so high on Blount. Granted I haven't seen him play, but his numbers are nothing special. He has 62 points in 140 minutes. Woods has 120.5 in 137 minutes. Bradley has 173.5 in 136 minutes.

What is Mark Blounts appeal?

Why not Jackson? I did a little research because I thought that I missed something, but Bibby is still out for the first month of the season, he has more points than Billups or Davis (he has played more minutes though), is cheaper and plays for SAC who has one of the best schedules to start. Where is the downside to Jackson? Or better yet, what does Davis or Billups have on Jackson?

Smackdown -- just a hunch. I think that they gave him extra minutes in the preseason to evaluate him b/c they already knew what they had with Battier and Person/Dickerson and the 2/3 position.

Look at his minutes/tsnp ratio: It is subpar. The only way West allows a rookie to get 36m/g is if he was the 2nd coming of West himself.

I am having a tough time deciding between Billups or Arenas. This is a tough one I think. I may split the difference and go Arenas on 1 and Billups on 1...Right now I have Billups on both.

What do you guys think?

Arenas all the way. Good schedule, don't have to use a trade. His numbers are better 225 points in 221 minutes as opposed to Billups 114 points to 137 minutes. Arenas avg more than a point a minute for a million less.

Ya you are right. I had just read many post where people were not on the B Jack wagon and I though I would ask why or why not. I think he will be a great option even though he is not an assist getter not to mention his team has many big guys that pass the ball well. Ricky Davis!!!!! I hear nothing on him and he is below the mid range pricing for a guard. I think Arenas is a hit but a little more expensive than what I wanted to see him at. Billips is going to be a wait and see deal.

I think Arenas is a great option in the 3-6 mil range! Check out his preseason stats

Especially looking at his minutes column. His averages are quite good for the amount of minutes hes been playing in preseason and he also has a nice 3 week sched.

I'm sure he will be listed as a guard eventually after he plays enough games there, just can't draft him as a guard.

I want to free up some cash at the forward spot but I cannot come to terms with releasing CWebb, KG, or TD. I want all of them. Here is the reason why: If I buy just KG and TD then Webb will bust a 70-point night. If I take KG and Webb then TD will blow up for a 70-point night and so on! So I was thinking.... Ya I know..... Anyways...What players are the most consistent or have the highest % of getting a 60 - 70 point night. Hmmm...TD, Webb, KG, A Miller, Kidd. Those I think are the top 5? Of course occasionally T-Mac, Kobe, Pierce, and shaq when he plays. Of course there are others like GP, The Funk, Brand, Iverson, Francis (When he is playing), B Davis, Wallace, ect..... I guess I am trying to point out that the 5 mentioned above could probably hands down beat any assembled team. Just fill in the other positions with the cheapest for the buck players. Granted no one can afford that right now but I have gone with Hill, TD, KG, and Webb at the forward spot. My guards are Ward (I like this sleeper), arenas, and two of the cheapies around. Round out the centers with another two 500k players and there is my team.
Feel free to let me know if I am cracked in the head?

The thing with Arenas is that when Bobby Sura comes back you can cut at least 10 minutes from his playing time... that being said I think his schedule and his defensive skills make him a good option...Just when you cut it down would we want 35 from 5 mill guy or 15-20 from a 500K one that is the dilema

I remember in the free league last year where I had about the same team as another member of my division. Well he had KG, TD and a 2.5 mil center (NJ), Tinsley at Guard along with Chi Guard G Anthony. We had identical teams other than a difference in our centers.
My point here is that after December and January had gone by I noticed he had not made a trade since late November. His team was inactive –abandoned. Yet he was only 2-3 hundred points behind me and I was using trades like crazy where he had over 16 saved because he had an inactive team. He was even getting DNP’s from Anthony out with injuries. But he had the two best players you could buy at the time..KG and TD!! Webb was hurt so it made an easy decision. I look back at that and realize that I wasted trades chasing either big money movers or having to sell after changing my cash over to the center spot to get Shaq only to have him miss another game ect… What a waste! I was so fed up with Shaq always sitting for whatever reason. Of course I realize you do not want to run your team like that always because you need to trade to earn cash, but I feel I should spend the cash on the big dogs and fill out the rest with cheapies.
Anyone agree?

Heres My Dillema and i'll see if anyone can help me.

For the first two weeks of the season, would it be better to have

Gilbert Arenas and
Grant Hill
with 1.1 mil in the bank

or

Kobe Bryant and
Drew Gooden
with .12 mil in the bank

or

Tracy McGrady and
Kwame Brown
with .22 mil in the bank

Its a tough decision for me, Any preferences? or suggestions?

P... I'd go with your second combo for two reasons; first of all, Gooden has showed some great potential in the preseason. Even though he might get less minutes, he is still a very good option to make some money. Second reason is that I think that Kobe will put up some numbers with Shaq out. I don't like Kobe personally, but with the strong schedule LA has, it seems to be a good pick.

LA comes back with a very nice schedule after that though (29 games in first 2 months together), so you could decide to sit out 9-11 'till 15-11, to save a trade. But I could imagine that you wouldn't want that much $$$ on the bench that long.

Is anyone else concerned by Grant Hills not-so-great preseason in which he averaged 25 TSNP in 26 minutes!?

It has made me think twice about drafting him. What about everybody else? are you still planning to have him on your opening day rosters?

Ok guys, EVALUATE MY ROSTERS:

Team 1 (stud/cheepie approach)
G Jackson, Bobby $4,040,000
G Hudson, Troy $3,880,000
G Jaric, Marko $500,000
G Ginobili, Emmanuel $500,000

F Duncan, Tim $12,100,000
F Garnett, Kevin $11,100,000
F Webber, Chris $10,660,000
F Miles, Darius $5,610,000

C Woods, Loren $860,000
C McCoy, Jelani $500,000

$250,000 in the bank.

NOTE: i know i'll probably lose out on some of the cheap Foward money trains. But this will be huge for points. I think the GAURD position will price move even more (people will be going with stud foards). THIS ROSTER WILL SAVE HUGE ON TRADES.

Team 2 (more ballanced)

G McGrady, Tracy $9,750,000
G Arenas, Gilbert $4,940,000
G Jackson, Bobby $4,040,000
G Palacio, Milt $1,110,000

F Duncan, Tim $12,100,000
F Garnett, Kevin $11,100,000
F Murphy, Troy $2,680,000
F Brown, Kwame $2,320,000

C Woods, Loren $860,000
C McCoy, Jelani $500,000

$600,000 in the bank. This should produce tons of points and gain alot of $$$. However i can see my self using alot of trades.

SO ANY ADVICE???

"I would say Troy's earned the starting spot," Musselman said before Friday night's 87-79 loss to the Phoenix Suns at America West Arena, the last of the team's eight preseason games. "He's just done a really good job."
