X's Blazers Dynasty (NBA Live 06)

[Fresh8]

obviously you haven't seen Lindsay in the last year

- I meant he needs man titties before slimming down to be like her.

[The X]

Good writing, as usual. Have you thought of a name for Severin yet?

no, not yet....btw, who are you?!? Is that Negative One?!? change of name has me stumped....

he'll get those when he loses the muscle....the pectorals will become man titties

Ya, it's me. I was getting sort of tired of Negative One. And then Jae finally "persuaded" me to change it.

EDIT: Updated as at end of Jan '07 although they might have changed since then....

[Fresh8]

Retire bender already! he stinks!

haha... guess u answered my question X... thanks for the league wrapup!

EDIT: Poor darkop doesnt get a break.. sitting behind a rookie...

[The X]

Wats the significance of H rock then?

And X, any more updates tonight?

the update right about this post is the last for tonight & before you ask, no you're not starting

as for the H Rock, I'm curious too....I know I saw an 'M Rock' on my drive to Vegas....it was a Big M on the top side of a mountain/hill & we were all wondering what it was for can't seem to find the pic of it....

Retire bender already! he stinks!

haha... guess u answered my question X... thanks for the league wrapup!

EDIT: Poor darkop doesnt get a break.. sitting behind a rookie...

I won't retire Bender as I don't want to stuff up the dbf file if he's still starting next season & you show significant improvement, then I'll manually move Jermaine to starting PF & you to starting C....

now that you mention it, I might go in & edit Bender & Mashburn's hardiness down to like 5 or 10 so they'll always get injured

as for poor Darko, in my dynasty, he can't catch a break

glad someone liked the league wrap-up, took a bit of time, but gives everyone an idea of each team's depth....it also gives me ideas for trades....look at teams like Clippers & Heat, they really need a backup PG, I have Blake on my IR & The X can play 3rd string PG/3rd string SG, so I might be able to move him in the future

[The X]

that's all the updates for next couple of days I'd say....I can get on to playing some games now

[Jugs]

Where's Raymond Felton on the boobcats?

Bynum is on the rise, above Mihm good stuff

[The X]

Where's Raymond Felton on the boobcats?

Bynum is on the rise, above Mihm good stuff

edited post to put Raymond Felton into Bobcats' depth chart....

as for Bynum, he's on the IR next to Mihm

[Andrew]

Greatly enjoyed the offseason coverage. Interesting situation there with the Sonics and Pack. Nice work making a story out of it.

[Fresh8]

I was looking at moving u to my team... but it doesnt work!

[J@3]

I want to have this dynasty's babies

[pHLo]

wow, that was an awesome off-season coverage
u're the chief of the off-seasons

the i like the idea of the evolution thing

keep it up


btw. what do u expect from this season ? End in 1st round of the Playoffs ?

[H Rock]

Wats the significance of H rock then?

And X, any more updates tonight?

Well, H Rock just stands for Houston Rockets. And the H Rock in my picture...I just googled H Rock and that is what I found. I thought it was interesting, so I just chose it for my avatar.

[Buckley]

wow, great coverage.............

when a rookie gets traded later in the offseason, i think that they should be looked as a "draft-night" trade for more realism. like david stern goes up and says. "A trade has been made. The Sonics trade their first round pick Keenan Pack to the Grizzlies for Damon Stoudamire."

nonetheless........awesome coverage, great trade for lee, and I hope u move up the Trailblazers depth chart

[The X]

cheers, yep, trade was so outrageous that a story had to be made out of it

I was looking at moving u to my team... but it doesnt work!

wtf?!? you must be talking dbf editing, yeah, it can be tough....

I want to have this dynasty's babies

cheers, glad I can have that effect

wow, that was an awesome off-season coverage
u're the chief of the off-seasons

the i like the idea of the evolution thing

keep it up


btw. what do u expect from this season ? End in 1st round of the Playoffs ?

cheers, as for the evolution thing, it just popped up in off-season, is new to Live '06, so thought I should show it

as for what I expect, I want this team in the thick of it, competing for a playoff spot of some sort....whether that's possible, we'll have to see, but I would be disappointed with a season like the last one....

Wats the significance of H rock then?

And X, any more updates tonight?

Well, H Rock just stands for Houston Rockets. And the H Rock in my picture...I just googled H Rock and that is what I found. I thought it was interesting, so I just chose it for my avatar.

okay, yeah, they have them in the US for some reason, M Rock's, H Rock's, Kid Rock's, you name it, they have it....

wow, great coverage.............

nonetheless........awesome coverage, great trade for lee, and I hope u move up the Trailblazers depth chart

cheers....however I think I handle that Pack trade as best I could....there's no way that I could have said with a straight face that the Sonics traded their No. 3 overall pick for Stoudamire....the Stevie Franchise angle was the only plausible angle that I could've used....if the trade hadn't of been so crazy, I would've had it as a draft-night trade & had Commissioner Stern announce it, but I didn't think it would have been realistic in this case....

yep, Lee was a great pickup, he's a beast on the boards & I hope he's my representative at the Dunk Contest this season

as for me moving up the depth charts, I've had some up and down games, I'm still the 12th man, but I've proven that I can handle some PG duties & I can shoot the rock, so there will be some minutes there if others aren't performing

PF- B. Cardinal/H. Warrick

It looks like they will be looking at a longgg season Let's hope you can keep Telfair contained so he won't be like his cousin I'll like to see him really succeed along with Martell and Ha.

don't be so sure about that, Grizzlies have come out strong this season

as for Telfair, I'm hoping he can keep his head on straight....as for Webster, he's really starting to look good....I think he'll be my starting SG either by end of this season or by beginning of season 3 as for Ha, he seems like a poor man's Sit to me

[The X]

'Power' ratings can be used to either demand, influence or request trades or roster movement or reshuffling. The higher your rating, the more chance you will have that I will pull it off for you. NLSC ballers like Mark are not eligible to use their influence as they have less than 1 full selection round (15 matchups), so until they reach that, they have no control over their careers. I haven't determined exactly what the ratings might be like, possible 0.800 to 1.00 will be able to demand a trade & pick the situation they want to go in, or influence another teammate being moved. Below 0.500 has no influence. Between 0.500 to 0.600 can request more playing time. Between 0.700 to 0.800 can demand a trade, but can't pick the situation. Between 0.600 to 0.700 can request a trade (can't pick situation) or can demand more playing time. These aren't set in stone, and I'm open to suggestions, just a bit of fun & intrigue. Something different.

if I made any mistakes in my calculations, please correct me, but I think I got them all right

please get your November picks within a day....


NOVEMBER SCHEDULE (5 games)

vs LAC
@ Hou
vs Mem
@ NYK
vs SAS


If you're wondering the opening day rosters of each team, check out each team's depth charts at the link below:

http://www.nbaliveforums.com/sutra542176.php#542176


Guess my record....I won't guess these as I've already played them if you think I'll go 0-5, guess 0-5....if you get my monthly record correct, you get 1.0pts, if you get within 0.5pts you get 0.5pts, & outside that you get 0.0pts....these points will count towards your %'s etc, they are not bonus points like the draft lottery....you also get 0.001 bonus points for entering each month....

remember that I only play about 1/3 of my games, intervene 1/3 & sim the other 1/3, so you might want to factor that into the equation


if you wish, you can also try to pick East & West Player & Rookie of Month Awards....there will be no penalties for getting it wrong....you get 0.001 bonus points for entering your 4 selections each month....for each one you get right, you get 0.010 bonus pts, so in any one month you could conceivably get 0.041 bonus pts just for entering, although that is pretty unlikely....


get your picks in

[H Rock]

Wow, your dynasty has become quite interesting, to say the least. This is an NLSC first, to have so many contests.

OK, for your record, I guess 1-4.

East Player- Allen Iverson
East Rookie- Andrea Barganini
West Player- Yao Ming
West Rookie- Severin Harding

Man, those are a lot of picks.

[Jugs]

Okay, confusing so I'll try and get my picks done:

You'll go 2-3 in November.

And with the players of the month (maybe you should give a link to the post of the new depth charts).

East Player of the month: Jermaine O'Neal
West PLayer of the month: Kobe Bryant
East Rookie of the month: Rudy Gay
West Rookie of the month: Adam Morrison
