OK, simulated the first season of the franchise, and the Wizards were sweeped in the Finals by MVP Shaquille O'Neal and the LA Lakers.
With the off-season details:
Charles Oakley retired, but to my surprise, Michael Jordan decided to keep playing the game he loves.
I re-signed MJ to a 1yr, 180,000 contract
I also re-signed Tyronn Lue and Bryon Russell to a 3yr, 85,000 and 1yr 190,000 contracts respectively.
In the draft, I selected 2 centers, in the first round, 6'11 Mike Henson, and in the second round, 7'6 Jess King. Both picks were #26 in each round.
I have not signed any FA's or made any trades. But have come up with some trade idea's:
1st Trade:
Byron Russell (82) to the Lakers for Tyrone Nesby (77) and Tracy Murray (75). Russell has a 190,000 contract with 1 year remaining, while Nesby re-signed with LA for 5yrs, 99,000 and Tracy Murray has 3yrs left, at 90,300. Nesby's and Murray contract combine for a total of 189,300.
2nd Trade:
Henson (68) and King (59) to Nuggets for Chris Whitney (81). Both Henson's and King's contract's are for the minimum, but Henson has 3 yrs and King has 1 yr. Whitney has 1 year remaining at 62,222.
Thought's please!
Remember, I ain't making deals unless it realistic and if it would actually happen in real life. Although the 2nd trade couldn't happen in real life.
