Ok, Im Saga etc and welcome to this close up look at Crazymike2021, the GM, the Man, the guy with all the pics!!!!
Gidday mate, how are you !!!
Crazymike2021: mmm I guess alright.
Where did you get the name Crazymike2021 from and are you really Crazy?
Crazymike2021: I guess it would come down to what you think crazy is over all. The Crazy Mike part came from friend after seeing the shit I pull when I'm drinking and partying. I mean they had good reason to give it to me. I am the guy that ran in to a RV 30 times head first. We could also talk a bout the time I ripped a mail box out of the ground just to show I could. There so many reason to call me crazy. Plus after some of the move I have made in UOSLR you could say that another reason. The 2021 part come from a TV show i use to watch called Sealab 2021.
Where do you think Michael Jacksons body is? Are you a fan? What did you think when you heard of his untimely death?
Crazymike2021: To tell the truth I have not been keeping up with it. So I couldn't even guess. To tell the truth I could care less about the guy. He made some good songs in the 80's, but that's about it. To me he was just a crazy guy that made some good songs. Nothing more or less. I was happy that it was over and he was gone.
Preferences?
Boobs or Arse ?
That's a hard one. A great ass is just so nice. But then boobs are boobs. I don't think I could ever pick one over the other as long as the girl has one of them.
Morning or Night ?
Night...... its when I do my drinking.
Beef or Pork?
I guess I would say pork seeing I'm cooking pork ribs tomorrow.
Fame or Fortune?
That's a easy one. It would be fortune. I have never need to be in the spot light. Plus I just like money. First come money. Then power and then you get the women.
UOSLR was born after the death of UOSL2, the GMs were handpicked and then given teams. How did it feel when you missed out?
I knew it could happen after seeing how my career in UOSL2 ended. I was still hoping just being one of the few GM from the first UOSL. That Would get me in. I had some good teams in UOSL1 and 2. But it didn't happen and I can see why. I should had did more at the end of UOSL2.
You became the assistant GM to Trunks and the Wolves, why did you choose to become his assistant?
We was talking when the GM draft was going on. Knowing one of us may not get in we said who ever got in would have the other as there assistant GM. So when he be came the TWolves GM I became his assistant GM.
Your Best times as the TWolves assistant, what were they?
CREATION DRAFT PICKS! I loved looking for player that people maybe over looking. Making a list of player for Trunk could look over and see what we could do with each pick. We both put in a lot of hard work and i think it payed off.
Which Gms are the easiest/hardest Gms to deal with regarding trades?
For me chipper has always be easy to work with. But over all there a lot of guys that easy to work with. The old Jazz GM was a pain in the ass to deal with. Every time you would offer what he said would make it a done deal he would say he would have to think about it. It got old fast. I think it was Gpforu21. Idle is one GM that can be easy to work with or just kill you by asking for way too much.
Then Nova left and you were given the Clippers, what were your thoughts on the roster at the time and what were your plans for the team?
That it was a good team that needed another player or two. First two season were not bad at all. then lost a player here and there from losing them in FA. But before that it was to win and keep winning by pulling in key guys.
Your 1st two seasons in the league as sole GM were successful ones with 92 being your best year going 50-32.. Since then you have had losing season after losing season, what do you put that to?
I started out building around Wayman Tisdale and Terry Porter by trading first round picks and getting some good guys that could help hold the team in the top 5 teams in the west for 4 or 5 years. What I didn't see coming was me losing Wayman Tisdale to the Dallas. I had no one to step up and take over the leader f the team. Terry Porter started to fall apart after losing Wayman Tisdale. With no picks in 93,94 or 95 there was almost no to trade for a guy that could take over the team like Wayman Tisdale could. With out him the other guys just couldn't pull it off. I tried to rebuild in 1995 after losing Terry Porter to someone offering him the max. There was no way I was going to offer him that. But my pick fall to 4th over all and I didn't sign anyone I really wanted. I did get Glenn Robinson with the 4th over all pick in 95. In 96 I tried everything to win as much as I could seeing I didn't have that pick that year. But really over 94 to 96 I could had done way better by putting in more time. At the start of 97 I asked my self do I want to try to win now or lose and try to put a winning team out there in the last year of my deal with L.A. I picked to shoot for the moon and try it this year. I guess time will see if I picked right.
Here are a couple of trades that had people talking,
uoslr.proboards.com/index.cgi?boa....lay&thread=2138
uoslr.proboards.com/index.cgi?boa....play&thread=713
your thoughts?
On the trade with the Nets I still feel like it was a good trade. I got Nick Van Exel,Eddie Jones and Juwan Howard. Guys that are still young and I can build about as they help me win this year. on the trade with Dallas I was looking for another guy to help me win then and not later. Looking back I wish I didn't trade a 94 first for him. But at the same time could had been worth it if Wayman Tisdale never went to Dallas. I just feel that we could of had a good team with Wayman Tisdale for year to come or at least to after the 94 season.
I tried looking back at your trades but you have made so many trades my eyes started swelling lol..
so What would be your best trade so far in your Career?
and What would be your worst trade?
uoslr.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=completedtrades&action=display&thread=271
The funny thing is one of my best trade happened when I was the assistant Gm with the TWolves. I traded Scott Skiles to Hawks for a Young PG in Travis Mays. Plus on the got Atlanta's 96 and 98 first round picks. I had some other trades that got the TWolves other first round picks.
uoslr.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=completedtrades&action=display&thread=1268
I should had never trade Alejandro Camby. I mean I did make the deal before I even signed Alejandro Camby and I didn't want to back out after I got him. But still he went way too cheap. I could had got way more for him.
Then there was the time you missed DC after DC and it prompted a thread by ashes himself
uoslr.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1391
What was happening at the time? Family problems?
I just keep ed forgetting to post it. Drinking will do that to you. So it was a Drinking problem.
In that thread we had a request for the return of the babes of the day, and in more recent times ( post pad thread, trunks also did it, but his babes had the body of a goddess but a face from hell lol) we have seen them. Will there be a more regular instalment of these beautiful ladies?
It will be making a come back soon. I just start to get burned out at looking at gorgeous women and that just something I could not let happen. But it will be back and better then ever.
You are in the final year of your contract and need to make the playoffs or get 40 wins. 4 games out of 8th spot doesn't sound like much but when you are chasing the pack, its a tough ask. Do you think your team can do it?
I think this team can do it. I wish I had been playing the DC I have now from the start. Then I would not be so far back. But I had to play with my DC and at the end of the day it put me behind other team.
Have you finished wheeling and dealing? Or are there a few key roster moves you need to make?
I am never done wheeling and dealing. If a trade came along that I know will make us a better team and put us over the team then I would do it. But I'm not ready to just start trading players just to do it in hopes of getting just a little better.
Your plans for the Clippers in the future should you keep your job? What are they? Are you planning on keeping Dirk, GRob, Van Exel, Jones, Smits together? Or blow the team up come seasons end?
Keeping them together. Adding to them and making them over all a better team. I think this team could be a awesome team in a season or two. I'm just hoping I am the GM next season so I can do just that. Hoping Dirk becomes a super star with GRob and Van Exel. If that happens I think this team could be great.
Finally, do your ears hang low, do the wobble to and fro, can you tie them in a know can you tie them in a bow? Can you toss them over your shoulder like a continental soldier ? DO YOUR EARS HANG LOW?
Not really but something hangs low with two balls of my.
Thanks for the time for us to get to know the REAL Crazymike!!! Peace out bob and good luck to you in making the playoffs or getting the 40 wins!!!
