FA DAY 1: GRADES

[royale]

Hornets:
Lebron James: $198,966,796 over 7 years.

Resigning LBJ was key, as this franchise is dependant on this very one player. Thank the lord there was no 1 hr special.

Grade: A

76ers:
Al Jefferson $118,125,000 over 6 years.
Jared Sullinger for $84,375,000 over 6 years.

This team came in the free agency with a lot of money to spend. They managed to pry away one of the best centers in the league in Al Jefferson and an up and coming young gun in Jared Sullinger

Grade: A+


Bucks:
Tyson Chandler for $66,976,875 over 3 years.
Samuel Dalembert for $1,200,000 over one year.
Ousmane Cisse for $2,520,000 over 2 years.

He says Thabeet is overpaid and yet overpays for one. Chandler is obviously better but his ability and age doesn't warrant him 19 million + a season, thats crazy. They add big man depth in dalembert and some old geezer in Cisse

Grade: B


Jazz:
Kobe Bryant for $15,400,000 over one year.
Andrea Bargnani for $5,000,000 over one year.

Anytime you get Kobe your team has a shot at the ring. Lets just hope Kobe doesn't go brain fart and die this TC. They also sign a big man by the name Andrea Punani. guy can't rebound at 7ft

Grade: B


Heat:
Eddy Curry for $62,065,800 over 4 years.

Wow this guy looks friggen dirty at 31. dudes a 20-10 guy. Solid pickup.

Grade: B+


Nuggets
Jose Calderon for $4,500,000 over one year.
Manu Ginobili for $1,200,000 over one year.
Nolan Smith for $9,268,000 over 3 years.
Keith Benson for $13,902,000 over 3 years.

My home team the Thuggets. Nolan, Benson turned out to be a deal for Thabeet. Signing Calderon and Manu was a disaster in the making as it put the squad over the cap, nonetheless the issue is taken care of and Calderon/Manu the Euro flavor will provide some scoring punch and depth to this team who is looking for dangerous run in the playoffs

Grade: A-


Celtics
Tracy McGrady for $13,500,000 over one year.
Eniel Polynice for $13,500,000 over 3 years.
Wesley Johnson for $7,000,000 over 2 years.

Wesley Johnson came into the league as the next Shawn Marion but so far the guys been a bust, solid role player but still nothing spectacular. Getting T-mac was awesome. Resigning Eniel is good too, just hope his handles go up this TC

Grade: B


Warriors
Dalton Pepper for $19,860,000 over 3 years.
Hassan Whiteside for $84,375,000 over 6 years.

Whiteside is straight up overpay. Bucks you wanna talk about overpay centers, check this guy out. Still a solid player nonethless but dam thats crazy contract. Dalton Pepper can be alright, lets just hope TC will be nice to him

Grade: B-

Pacers
Shawn Marion for $8,000,000 over one year.
Zach Randolph for $8,000,000 over one year.
J.R. Smith for $4,500,000 over one year.

I'm not really fond of these guys. They're not a game changer. Mostly depth off the bench. Still getting marion and zach is nice

Grade: B

Grizzles
Marcus Williams for $4,500,000 over one year.

Ain't this guy the laptop thief? i'd watchout grizzles. A solid PG, good depth for a squad looking to make some noise possibily.

Grade: B

Suns
Brandon Triche for $11,340,000 over 2 years.

What da fack is this guy?. straight up scrub

Grade: F

Magic
Julius Hodge for $4,500,000 over one year.
Isaiah Cosic for $1,200,000 over one year.

Julius actually has pretty ratings, although i wouldn't know if it'll mount to much and than u got that scrub with the name Isaiah Cosmic.

Grade: C


Cavs
Trevor Ariza for $4,500,000 over one year.
Joakim Noah for $10,000,000 over one year.
Ed Davis for $11,250,000 over one year.

i'm feeling these guys, they're solid defensively. Great group of defensive bigs and a wing defender. Scoring wise not much but its great for depth and possibily start

Grade: B

Pistons
Chuck Hayes for $5,000,000 over one year.

Solid center. Too bad he can't score. Dudes all defense but for a guy with his ratings he can't block shots for shit. can't blame him he's only 6'7 playing the center position. Nonetheless this guy is solid.

Grade: B+

Nets
Joel Pryzbilla for $5,000,000 over one year.

I love Joel, this guy is a force in the paint, changing directions of shots and anchoring the paint. hsi 3.2 bpg is very sexxy. Wish he could rebound or score but dam he's solid on the depth chart and off the bench

Grade: B

I gave Chandler a shit contract but I plan on keeping him for those 3 years and it really has no bearing on my cap situation. I wanted to ensure I retained his services. 60 mil over 3 years allowed that and didn't give Chandler a chance to think about 5-6 year 60-80 mil deals if they were out there.

Also I'm so excited I got Dalembert and Cisse both whom can get 2bpg off the bench for me.


As for Whiteside and saying he's over paid. IF he has one more nice TC and he improves to B+, D, C-, A-, B by far he is worth the money having true center size and the ability to block shots. Big men are a premium and especially in this league where they are scarce and overloaded on select teams.

Anytime Kobe is on your team you definitely don't have a shot at a championship. Kobe = bust. His ring was all Malone!

Whiteside is overpaid.

Yea he is but if he has one solid TC left in him then he looks really sexy.

Na not at all. Why does everyone think I'm so damn angry all the time. Seriously I'm such a mellow person.

[James]

I'm just post padding to get to 500 brah.

[James]

I mean 600.

[crazymike2021]

good job

Pepper had an exceptional TC last year, let's hope it wasn't a fluke

As for Whiteside, we'll see how he progresses. Sometimes you have to max players that you want

Pepper simmed very well. He shot 50% while starting for me for a bit. I was hoping I could resign him. I offered him 2 years at 120% but that wasn't near what he got.

I will say that he was on the low end of his ratings though and I'd be surprised if he improves much this TC.

[aar]

What do you mean by the low end of his ratings?
