before I reply to all the quotes individually, when I logged on a few hours ago I was very surprised and humbled by the response I received....I thought I might have let a few of you down by not having some pics or anything like that, but it was the opposite, with the feedback being great....it's always good to know that other people get enjoyment out of reading my dynasty....for those who know me, they know I luv rookies and especially the draft and the college game and it is one of my favourite parts of bball and Live....
anyways....

reckon youve got another promising season ahead
cheers....that's confidence considering how many holes my team had after the draft had been completed....
Sit wrote:That was one of the best drafts I've seen in the dynasties lol... great commentary! Love the Lemarcus Aldridge pick btw!
Oh yeah X... good luck in finding a starting SG... maybe u can sign someone and send that guy + McCants in a package?
Will be interesting!
BTW:
CB4 = Biggest Loser! Too much talent
Ceekay = I predict he has the highest chance at gaining PT
cheers....you could be a seer Sit

the hunt for SG will be shown soon....and I'd have to agree with your calls on who the winners and losers were....we saw how much trouble jxuusa had last season getting PT, now CB4 is in the same position....I'm going to try and find a better situation for jxuusa where he can get a few more minutes, and CB4 will have to find his niche on the Sonics' bench

ceekay seems to be in an alright situation, I wonder if he will opt to hold onto his trade exception or want to move somewhere else....should be interesting....as for trade exceptions, I'll do yours after I finish off-season coverage....as for the winners, I really like the situations that pHLo and Mafia ended up in....both are in pretty good and improving teams with ageing players directly ahead of them at their positions so they have a chance to develop into bigger roles....

cheers....and yep, I understand the pressures of juggling a professional career, a woman and the all important NBA Live dynasties

good to have you around and hope to see some of your dynasties get rolling again once you have some more free time....

Have fun with McCants, now go sign a back up SF

cheers....I would have preferred Mardy Collins but McCants is a nice player and is probably a better fit for my team than Mardy either way....without Luke Walton, I'm in dire need of a backup SF....let's see what I can do
cheers....appreciate the compliment and please come back

noticed the part of me. lol

and saw fellow chineseman Tang in there, not too bad.
so the next draft is 2008? don't forget Yi Jianlian and Sue Yue, Yi was projected to be the 1 or 2 pick on nbadraft.net until the CBA incorporated the age limit, and Sue is projected to go around the 40's as of now.
again, i would like to say superb draft.
cheers....as for Tang, yep, he went about 10 spots higher than I predicted but the Heat must have saw something they liked in him

as for Yi, he won't be in 2008 class, but the 2009 class....this is because I had no real rookies in 2005 class (the "That Guy" class) and had to push every other class back a year....not sure who Sue is though....will have to check it out....

ceekay wrote:Damn man nice draft presentation, even without pics it was good. Since this is probably the only big dynasty still 'running', I was pretty excited about the draft and I was in it too. Well, you lived up to the hype.

cheers, glad I've got a bit of substance to back up the hype

also, you will notice that I put in a couple of pics today to make up for it

nbalive744 wrote:dude how long did it take you to do that amazing draft?
cheers for compliment....I'd say it took a couple of hours....it didn't take as long as what one would think as I had the template from the 2006 draft and just had to change draftees and comments....the actual summary wasn't that much work....as Seraph, micchy_boy and all the other dynasty guys can attest to, it is actually the dbf editing that is the mind-numbing, soul sucking, time consuming activity that we hate....but it's worth it to see real guys and faces in there, even if it does seem like a drag at time (which I always procrastinate due to this fact)....
Emiliano wrote:Amazing draft X! I think you did a great job getting McCants. He's the future
Loving the off-season

cheers....as for McCants, I was so close to selecting Ike Diogu, but my dire need for a SG pushed me towards Rashad in the end....he's the future, hmm....I'm not so sure about that....if he can help shore up the SG spot first and foremost then I'll be happy....

i praise u
plz continue till the end my freiend
cheers mate....appreciate the praise....I will continue as long as the desire and support is there....time or lackthereof is always a factor, but you become attached to a dynasty so I'll try to keep it going until Live '06 comes out....once Live '06 comes out, my plan is to sim the rest of the years and give a recap of how the rest of the dynasty and NLSC-ers panned out....

ahh well, j/k....glad you like it....let's hope you voted for me in NLSC awards

and the one post that spun me out the most....
ShAuNCx9 wrote:Nice draft recap. Dynasty looks really good man. BTW I wanted to tell you this. I was looking for a Gerald Green pic on google and came across this one:

So I was reading your dynasty and it inspired me to do a dynasty with the Bobcats and really get into it. Well I did, but now Im with the Heat in my 3rd Year. So after I read urs I got inspired to do one. So thanks man keep up the good work

wow, I'm shocked man....you were checking for Gerald Green pics on Google and the search came up with a link to my dynasty

that's crazy

glad you stayed to read and enjoyed reading up on my dynasty....the thing that humbles me (and other main dynasters) is when someone says that you have inspired them to do a dynasty....it's an honour....reading Cocobee's superb dynasty inspired me to start mine....
that's all....cheers for compliments....
