Jay Williams wouldn't be a bad Idea Either, or did you want this year's rookies, who were just drafted?

yes... i'll only be concentrating on this year's draftees... want somebody who can handle the ball well and dish a lot of assists... not much of a scorer although can be a clutch player when the need arises

thanks for the replies guys :D i'll stick with my current rosters... started my franchise last night and i beat dallas by 10 points - 108 - 98 at home... Pau Gasol scored 32 points, grabbed 7 rebs., and blocked 3 shots... my site will be ready if not today maybe tomorrow... :D :D :D my two rookies did well... dhantay jones and troy bell... i put brevin knight in the injured list so bell would be coming off the bench to play point...

my site is almost done and hopefully will be uploaded by tomorrow :lol: :lol: :lol: won on the road against detroit last night... and of course Pau Gasol was unstoppable at the post scoring 33 points!!!! i'll be sticking with my current rosters unless the cpu initiates a trade with a high caliber player... brevin knight is still in reserve... i'll probably use him in the finals unless troy bell continues his outstanding game... :mrgreen:

thanks :D :D :D its an abc theme although there's an espn theme also... i would rather use the espn theme if it wasn't so buggy... everytime i load my game it returns back to the desktop... anyways i downloaded it at american west revolution - travis lee's site... you could also try nbalive.org's espn theme :lol: :lol: :lol:

updated my site again... had a 2 game losing streak though... i'll be fixing my latest news page later... the pix were overlapping each other... released chris wilcox and keyon dooling in exchange for t.j. ford and grag foster... is it a good trade? got ford for his dribbling ability, passing, and speed... i think he'll be a great addition to my team... he's injured though and missed two games... hope he could play later...

just started a new franchise with golden state... won last night against dallas :D ... i'll post the highlights later... made a trade with new york... shipped danny fortson and chris mills in exchange for antonio mcdyess and michael doleac... i needed a strong presence under the basket whose a scorer and rebounder... won't get that with fortson around... mcdyess had a double double last night in his first game as a warrior... needed a sub center as well... although doleac is not your typical superstar center... in my opinion he would be a welcome addition to my rotation as well as give quality minutes off the bench... at least now i don't have to rely on jamison and richardson that much... at least with mcdyess around i'll have a third option in scoring... so what do you think guys :?:

downloaded the latest roster from NLSC which prompted me to start another franchise :lol: :lol: :lol: won't be updating my website just yet... i'll be posting my franchise to this thread so please check it out once in a while... i picked the New York Knicks this time... started playing the other day... i'm now 3-0... had my rosters intact... besides there's no need for me to sign or trade players with houston, van horn and mcdyess around... can't wait to play later when i go home from work...

its been a month since my last post :lol: i started a new york knicks franchise and won my first season against the sacramento kings... i'm now in my second season and won my first game last night against the washington wizards...

my lineup consisted of the following:

PG - charlie ward
SG- jason richardson
SF - shawn marion
PF - antonio mcdyess (MVP 2003)
C - kurt thomas

can't wait for live 2004 to come out... in the meantime i'll stick to this franchise... played with superstar level... 7 min/quarter... 56 games
