The "How is your Dynasty/Franchise going" Thread

[Warlock95]

Yes. Other players in the 90 range are: Amare (DET) 94, Wade (MIN) 94, Marion (PHI) 93, Bosh (UTA) 92, Agent Zero (CHA) 92, Dirk (MIA) 91, Brand (NJN) 90, Kirilenko (IND) 90. Kobe's with the Jazz; Lebron, Kings; KG, Bucks.

[Axel The Great]

Heheh, LeBron with the Kings. Pretty ironic.

[Cleveland wins]

Bosh with utah? That must be some combination is Deron Williams is still there.

[Warlock95]

No, Bosh is with Kobe, Pau Gasol and Stephon Marbury. Lebron's star teammates are Carlos Boozer, J-Rich and Rodney Hilario.

Lebron's star teammates are Carlos Boozer, J-Rich and Rodney Hilario.

That is one RIDICULOUS partnership there. I'd take that over the current Miami Heat team if Nene (Hilario) has increased by like 5 points or something: him, LeBron, Richardson, and Booze on the same team is like

If LeBron, Boozer and J-Rich are , then what's LeBron, Bosh and Wade?

[rise]

Looking at 501's list of high-ratings, who knows if Nene has like an 88 overall or something ridiculous like that? He currently has a 91 in my sim league at the ripe old age of 33.

This was fantasy draft. You know what's more ? The fact that they missed the playoffs twice in a row now.

Rodney Hilario, please.

Now i'm doing a cleveland cavalier dynasty and i'm trying to do something that Danny Ferry couldn't do in cleveland, and that's build a proper team around Lebron, in order to keep him and win an nba championship. I've made several trades, now my starting five is Shaquille Oneal, David West, Lebron James, Jason Richardson and Deron Williams. Its a very strong draft and i still have a 1st round draft pick which i plan to use to either draft a small forward or a center. I also have Tyson Chandler as a backup to Shaq. I felt that our starting shooting gaurd was really weak, and there were no other gaurds that i could get with teams that had roster space to do a 2 for 1 deal that i could get, except with phoenix, Richardson's a scorer and i still have Delonte West coming off the bench whom i may get rid of in an offseason trade, if there is a team with roster space. Shooting gaurds i'd like to add are as follows, Roger Mason, Sasha Vujacic, and maybe some others. I need a backup row player at the 2 behind jr, i really want an LBJ type of small forward in the draft, and then i can sign a center to the midlevel exception if i had the cap room. Our power forwards were really weak so had to get rid of most of them except for J.J. Hickson whos coming off the bench behind David West. Our team has several scorers and defenders, we just have to start playing better, i'm going to release Shaq this offseason because this is his final year of his contract, i may or may not forfeit my 2nd pick in the draft, if i don't forfiet, i'll draft a center, hopefully a seven footer.

Not wanting to be a paragraph nazi, but paragraphs would help your post be a little easier to read, Cleveland wins.

[Cleveland wins]

Yeah, now a days i usually put them in paragraphs, i just didn't thought it mattered in this thread. i just thought you had to put your sentences in paragraphs in your dynasty storys.

[Andrew]

It's something that should matter in every thread. The idea is that every post you make is legible and easy for your fellow posters to read, it's something to keep in mind for every single post you make. Not just Dynasty threads.

[Cleveland wins]

Thanks for the tip guys about the paragraphs, you guys are right, paragraphs do make it easier to read, i'll make it a habit to write in paragraphs and take your advice, thanks Andrew and all.

Now i'm doing a cleveland cavalier dynasty and i'm trying to do something that Danny Ferry couldn't do in cleveland, and that's build a proper team around Lebron, in order to keep him and win an nba championship.

Here's hoping for a Lakers-Cavs final and a Celtics-Cavs semi.

P.S. If you're going to win that championship, you're gonna need a good bench, too. Vujacic is useless.

[rise]

The James-Richardson tandem seems to work tremendously in video games. I definitely see that in 2003, and seeing as 501 and Cleveland wins seem to have J-Rich paired up with LeBron, I can only assume they are beasting up the court.

[Warlock95]

Already toldja, they missed the playoffs twice in a row. It's the Jazz Big 3 (Kobe, Bosh, Gasol) who're tearing up my court. (Marbury doesn't count, he was a late addition to the team, having been traded from the Magic for Stojakovic)

[Cleveland wins]

z02-Well Lebron James isn't scoring well this year as he's only scoring 11 point per game because i didn't set the playing time properly. Lebron was getting enough playing time.

But Jason Richardson is the top scorer for my cleveland team, as he along with Deron Williams are scoring 19 point each per game. I am now giving Lebron James more playing time, i set him to a higher percentage. All season long Lebron playing time was to 59%.

We're almost 20 games below 500 because Lebron wasn't getting enough playing time. That was my mistake though, i have to start setting proper playing time instead of letting the cpu do everything for me, i have to stop being lazy.

[Cleveland wins]

It was a big disappointing offseason in my cleveland cavalier dynasty. We had at least if not more than 10 free agents and we had over $20 million under the cap. So we experiemented, we didn't resign anyone on puporse. Big stars who were free agents were Lebron James, Jason Richardson and Tyson Chandler.

They all wanted to come back to, but we chose not to resign them so we can add another star next to Lebron. The first player we signed was Andre Kirelenko, he's still an outside stopper which is what we needed, more defense. Then two days later, we attempted to sign Lebron James, but he was gone.

Who signed Lebron? One of our central division rivals, the indiana pacers! I didn't know they had so much cap room because Lebron wanted $70 million. This was very upsetting to me, then we just decided to sign Jason Richardson and Tyson Chandler, both of whom we got back.

We tried to sign a player at the mid-level but, we could only sign some weak young players to the minimum. We signed two low rated players for 1 year, they had low rating in most abilities and athletics. We'll release them when their contract is up, Kirelenko is our starting small forward, and a familiar name is the back up small forward, you all may remember former nba player who played for the jazz.

Mark Eaton? 7'4 center? Well, we have a backup small forward named Mark Eaton, he's weak offensively but not too bad, but could be a shooter several years from now. John Salmons was also a free agent but we decided no to sign him from the free agent market, because we drafted a rookie shooting gaurd with a 67 overall rating at the age of 23.

I'll be keeping a close watch on how the pacers will be doing this season with our former player Lebron James, seeing if they make the playoffs. Because they have a weak supporting cast around him.

LeBron left and your intentions were building a team around him. Should have resigned him before anything else.

[Cleveland wins]

Yeah, you're right z02, i just wanted to sign someone so bad, i should have just kept my team intact, woah are the cavs without Lebron.

[Cleveland wins]

I started a phoenix suns dynasty and build around Steve Nash and added some nice pieces around him. At the time we made our first trade we were only 7-9, and i can't have that bad of a record for a high caliber team like the suns, so i had to make some changes to the roster.

First i added an offensive big man from the celtics, Glenn Davis, i traded my rookie power forward who was rated 67, i forgot his name, but he's 17 years old along with another player for Davis. We won the next game, then i made a trade with detroit for Ben Gordon, I traded Grant Hill and Leonardo Barbosa for Gordon.

We started getting better and now we're 9-9, then i made my biggest trade and possible final trade of the year. I traded Ameri Stoudamire and Jared Dudley to Denver for Carmelo Anthony and some power forward, possibly Malik Allen, I forgot. Now our big three is Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony and Jason Richardson, we're just about a complete team, we just have to develop Glenn Davis a lot so he can become a star.

[.PorkyJoker.o6]

Sucks that you traded away amar'e
Tell you what, Davis aint gonna be as powerful as Amar'e
Yeah you might have Melo, but you dont have anyone to take charge on the low block who can post then fadeaway?
