So in my latest Cavs association...
1. Drafted Noel
2. Signed Dwight
3. Traded Varejao, Lakers pick, 2nd rounder for Deng
Kyrie/Livingston
Dion/Ellington
Deng/Gee
Noel/Tristan
Dwight/Zeller
This is totally what should happen this summer :chuckles:
DUDE!!! haha That is hilarious because my association went pretty much the EXACT same way. That is crazy.
I drafted Noel, drafted Alex Len, and picked up Peyton Siva off of free agents (nobody drafted him). I signed Dwight (just gave him a close to max offer and didn't think he would actually accept). I signed Tony Allen. I traded like Speights for Mbah a Moute and Shane Larkin. I still have/had an overload of bigs but my lineup was:
Kyrie/Larkin/Siva
Dion/Allen
Mbah a Moute/Miles
Noel/Tristan
Dwight/Andy/Len/Zeller
I just simulated the next season and didn't play any games. Kyrie won MVP, Noel won Rookie of the Year, and Byron Scott won Coach of the year. We made it to the ECF before we got bounced.
Now I'm in the next off season. I fired Byron Scott and signed DOC RIVERS! (on a 4.2 per year for 4 year deal). Right now I'm in the 2014 draft waiting to draft with the 16th pick... Parker went 1 to Raptors and Wiggins went 2 to Pistions... I just tried to trade Tristan and Len and a 1st for Wiggins but they wouldn't bite. And now its time to draft, and I drafted Aaron Gordon. Alright now I was just offered this years 1st (pick 20) and next years 1st from the Clippers for Zeller and I accepted (figured I might as well since I have too many bigs the way it is). With that I drafted Aaron Harrison (never heard of him but he was projected top 5 and fell to number 20 lol).
So welcome Aaron Gordon and Aaron Harrison

Alright on to the signing period, I signed the rooks. I signed Shawn Marion to a 1 year deal at 1.17M. I signed Stephen Jackson to a 1 year deal at 1.2M. I resigned Andy at 2.05M for 2 years. After the period is over, nobody signed Gortat so I will sign him to a 3.96M for 1 year deal. I released Siva.
Now I'm looking for a backup PG because there are quite a few good ones left, and Aaron Brooks, Sessions, and Ishmael Smith all said they would take a reduction salary to play with me to have a shot at the championship. Nice gesture, but I couldn't afford 3 mil, so I signed Kirk Hinrich for 991K for a year. And Nba.com projected me #1 in the Power rankings! My new line up:
Kyrie/Larkin/Hinrich
Dion/Harrison
Marion/Jackson/Mbah a Moute
Noel/Thompson/Gordon
Howard/Gortat/Len/Varejao
Lets see what happens. That is just too many good bigs to have on one team. I'm probably gonna need to package 2 or 3 of them together and try to get a better SF or something if I can.
