Lakers report
Lakers re-signed with Smush Parker, Ronny Turiaf, Luke Walton.

Lakers refused to re-sign with James Posey, Brian Cook, Shammond Williams and Martynas Andriuskevicius.

Lakers’ GM’s Mitch Kuptchak’s comments on these transactions: “First of all why we didn’t re-sign James and Brian. They were good for us of course, but we wanted to execute a trade in the near-future and buying them wouldn’t allow us to do it, because of the salary cap. Also this will help Ronny and Maurice to develop as they will gain more playing time. Shammond wasn’t producing much for us in the regular season, nor did Martynas so we had no choice, but to let them go, because we didn’t see our future with them.”

Top Free-agent

Jason Terry

I think you should take Nick Young, Corey Brewer or Alando Tucker in the draft. All those guys would be great backups at the SG/SF spots for your team. I don't think Acie Law will slip to your spot (I think you need a PG) but you can always pick one up through trades. Since you didn't esign Posey I strongly you suggest one of the three players I mentioned, as they can all play good defence and score from the perimeter.

Good luck next season

[Martti.]

Preetu lucky in the draft.. Championship and 23rd pick.. I always get the 30th, if i get a title..

How much Cap space you have?

[looser]

Yes...you have an high lottery pick if you look that you are the champs...

I'd go with Brewer...

[JaoSming]

nice work with your season man, if you are looking to repeat you might wanna grab this

good luck with the draft

[Lamrock]

Nice off-season coverage. I hope you can get someone good in the draft.

[Sacke12]

Nice, 23rd pick. Good to see you re-sign Ronny Turiaf. He's talented and can develop into a good player for you. Let's hope you get a good draft pick.

[Cornerthree]

Thanks for the comments guys, I very much appreciate it..

Shannon, Thanks for the suggestions man, but I've already decided what I'm gonna do and I'm keepin' on my plan. Yes, I'd be glad to get at least one of those guys, but it would ruin some things in my roster..

-km-, Well, actually I was like 1-3 wins behind from getting the 27th pick..

looser, Glad your helpmin' me, but as I said before, I have plans which I'm planning on doing and draftin' other players wouldn't help much...

JaoSming, Thanks for the suggestion Jao, I had already downloaded it..

Lamrock13, Well I've done the draft already and I got a very satisfying player for me...

Sacke12, I like the guy too


Thanks again guys...

NBA Off-season update
Part 2*last



Draft Lottery
Top Ten Picks












Lakers report

Los Angeles Lakers with the 23rd pick selected Marco Belinelli and with the 53rd pick selected Curtis Stumper.



Marco Belinelli


Curtis Stumper


Kuptchak’s comments: “We needed such a guy to substitute Kobe, since Maurice was going to fill in as a forward. We were scout Marco a lot. We saw his strengths and weaknesses and just thought he’d be perfect for us. He’s incredible in shooting free-throws, he’s totally a pure shooter. He will be very helpful for the team, because we need a boost in our shooting very much. Curtis also could be helpful, though we have better guys in his position, he may not get the playing time he wants.”

Off-season transactions*in random order




















Lakers report

Los Angeles Lakers traded Kwame Brown and Tyrus Thomas for Philadelphia’s Samuel Dalembert.

Kuptchak’s comments on the deal: “Oh, this guy will be our key to success this year. His defense and rebounding will boost our team up to the top. Since we won the title last year, with his help, we should make a very exciting regular season. He can also help offensively and that makes him a lot better than Kwame or Tyrus. Maybe we gave a little too much, but I think, he still has some space to develop and we won’t regret it”.


Samuel Dalembert



*Guys, I noticed some bugs in the draft like Greg Oden at the height of 6’6”, but I updated the appearance only after the draft, so here’s the excuse.. Oh btw I noticed some bugs like Bulls signing “player” I don’t know what that means, but I checked and I didn’t find any ‘player’, everybody knows who’s fault is it…

[Deathbringer]

im just wondering, your team came from a championship, and so far with your moves your kinda rebuilding it

[Clock]

I'm not sure I like this trade. Good luck next season, hopefully it will be succesfull as the last one.

Oh and good job on drafting belinelli. I like this guy

[buzzy]

Good you have a center now, but thomas got a lot of potencial ...
Anyways, i like the draft feature, and good luck in the next season.
going for the repeat

[Gedas]

Hey, did you create the draft class by yourself or did you download it somewhere?

[Slizz]

Nice job drafting belinelli I saw him at the world championship he was nice.

I like the trade since Dalembart is much better than Kwame and with Tyrus Thomas you give up a guy who is very talented but you have enough forwards to fill in... my only worry is Bynum... since Dalembart is better but also young and I think a pure Center Bynum will have to be back-up for most of his career if there is no trade made... because Bynum is also a pure Center...

[dwyan wade@1]

Pursuer, yeah i dont know what thus player means
the draftees problem also happwned to me do u remember what we did in the draft patch in 06 changing the player id in ur dynasty's players.dbf to the appearance dbf just do that also
i d0nt know if there's an easier way but just try it if u want

[Its_asdf]

Belinelli is the perfect shooter/scorer to compliment Bryant. I like that draft choice but I think you should go for a big man because your front court is fairly thin at the moment.

[Sacke12]

Oh man, Boris Diaw is back in Atlanta. And Jason Terry signed with the Hornets ...and Alonzo Mourning going for two more years in Orlando!
What a crazy summer

[---]

Nice update

Good to see you grabbed Curtis Sumpter way late, when healthy, he is a poor mans Alando Tucker anyway, so great pick. Brandon Heath at 9 has "bust" written all over it. Good to see the Sonics finally draft a center capable of anything, and I love the fact that KD will be playing in a high powered offence like Golden State's. The Hawks have a great future with Hibbert down low, Knicks fans can rejoice wit Wright on board (maybe they won't need KG now!?) and while suprisingly high, I think Nick young was a good pick.

I see your player apearances are wrong, hope and pray you followed the instructions nd still have the "appearance.bat" file to run after training camp (the installation generates it in your roster folder, if you load or save your game after it generates it will be lost, unfortunately no way to get it back), or else you'll have to live with a 6"6 Greg Oden

[looser]

Perfect!!!

You draft Beli!

i'll see his improving game by game

[Cornerthree]

Oh yeah guys, I fucked up...

I was kinda trying to save this shit somehow, but it doesn't work... Guess I'll have to re-do the whole off-season, glad I still have the save before off-season after Game 7 of the finals

[Sacke12]

Too bad, man. Hopefully you can get somewhat of the same off-season. Or a better one!

[Its_asdf]

It's a shame dude, especially since there was a lot of content in your off-season update that you'll have to redo. Hopefully you can still snag Belinelli again, I've heard many good things about him.
