I feel like you've been an assistant GM for a year. Not advocating for you to be a GM, just saying. well, i had the nets, your former team i think. We were finally going in the right direction, stepping above .500 with a really nice young team. Unfortunatel I had to leave for a family problem for about 2 months so i obviously couldn't be garunteed a job back...just hoping to get a head gm spot soon

Well cant do nothing now. Spence did try to keep the ratings down but that's not too easy to do. Only guy i've seen do that is Will in NBN but these ratings are more fun. Agreed. But this didn't happen to any other draft classes until this year.

Yeah, well, Will's just ridiculously amazing when it comes to making drafts. He's just on another level, so you can't compare anyone to him. What's he do?

Andris Biedrins B D C- B+ B B Andris Biedrins B+ D+ C- B+ A- C
I've been waiting for this ever since I traded for him. Hopefully he is good enough to compete with some of the other big teams centers now... I don't know how he wont be. Eddie Griffin C+ B- C B B- C Eddie Griffin C+ B- C B B B
Can't complain here but hes all but lost his starting job
Ian Vouyoukas C+ C+ C- B C+ B Ian Vouyoukas C+ C+ C- B B- C
After last years TC I was wondering if I got a steal in late 2nd round... if he gets much better then that is a yes
Chris Bosh A- C C- A- B+ A Chris Bosh A- C D+ A- A- B
It has always seemed like it is hard for the top big men to get above A- A- A- in 3 key cats unless they are elite. Hopefully Bosh is more filled out now then last year.
Ike Diogu B+ C C- B B B Ike Diogu B+ C C- B B C
One of my 2 disappointments... Especially when I saw Bosh's ratings and thought that they were Ike's (I was ready to say I don't know how I can lose if no one died)... He is still and adequate to average starter but hes not what I need anymore
Lorenzo Mata C+ D D+ B B B Lorenzo Mata C+ D+ C- B B B
I didn't notice any improvement at first glance so this was a nice suprise
Szymon Szewczyk B- B C C+ B- C Szymon Szewczyk B- B C C+ B- D
Szymon doesn't play like his ratings so his ratings don't really matter... he just produces
Michael Beasley B- B- C C+ C+ A Michael Beasley B B- C B C+ A
The defensive improvement wasn't the 3 grades I thought since he was a C+ at SF but either way Beasley is looking like a stud and a guy who can play beside Melo for a long time.
Renaldo Balkman B C C A- C+ B Renaldo Balkman B C C B+ B- B
His rebounding goes back up but his defense goes back down... not going to get minutes on this team until he improves more
Carmelo Anthony B+ A B C+ C+ C Carmelo Anthony B+ A B C+ C+ B
I've been hoping he goes up a little more for 2 years now... I don't think he is topped out but he isn't going to get much better
Adam Morrison C+ A- C C D+ A Adam Morrison C+ A- C C D+ B
Didn't get better again... he was the leagues best deep shooter last year so hopefully he can improve elsewhere in future but not this time
Kyle Weaver B- C+ C C+ C B Kyle Weaver B- B- C C+ C B
maybe next year but it doesn't really matter
Mike Bibby B- A- B+ B+ D D Mike Bibby B- A- A- A- D D
Bibby going up just makes this TC amazing
Darren Collison C+ C B- A- D+ A Darren Collison C+ C B A- D A
I was hoping for more then just 1 grade in handles but I'll take it. He should be Eric Snow 2 at worst
Tywon Lawson B- C+ C+ C+ D B Tywon Lawson B- C+ B- B D B
If he was just a little taller he would be looking like an ideal combo guard in the future. He won't get much time this year but hopefully he will turn into something in the future
This is possibly the best TC I have ever had. I think I can really compete this year.

Yeah, well, Will's just ridiculously amazing when it comes to making drafts. He's just on another level, so you can't compare anyone to him. What's he do? He just does a terrific job of balancing out drafts, making sure there are some strong ones & some weak ones. There are generally a few busts, and occasionally some mega-steals. Every year, or most years at least, there are usually a couple really unique players, and it's just extremely realistic & well-done.

Lol, motherfucker! The East is even stronger this year...most of the teams who had not-so-good TC's were out West, and most of the teams who had amazing TC's are out East.
So much for balancing out the conferences...the East is going to dominate for quite a while.

Not too shabby
Yao Ming C 27 7'5'' 302 B+ C C- A- A- C - Handles went up. Cool. Was hoping for inside to go back up but doesnt matter he can still average 25
Yi Jianlin PF 23 7'0'' 242 B- B- C C+ B A - Rebounding went up. Had a big tc last year so as long as the improvement continues ill be happy
Kevin Durant SF 19 6'10'' 220 B+ A- C+ B C+ A - from B B+ to B+ A-. YEAH!! defense also went up. Franchise player
Tayshaun Prince SF 28 6'9'' 226 B B B- A- C+ C - Handling went up. I'll take any improvement. Prince is just what the doctor ordered
Shane Battier SF 29 6'8'' 220 C A- C A C C - Defense and rebounding went up. Great role player
Randy Foye SG 24 6'4'' 210 B A- C+ B C A - Outside went from B to A-! Wasn't expecting another big improvement. Still has 2 rc's left
C.J. Miles SG 21 6'6'' 210 C+ A- C B C- A - Defense went up but inside went down. I'll take that.
Wilson Chandler SF 21 6'7'' 220 C+ C C A- C+ B - Defense up, rebounding down. Meh

See, I feel as though this is just a huge TC. Ratings are higher, but not as high as they were in BBS. Things will even out I think. I was actually pretty disappointed by the amount of poor TCs wed had up to now.

I expected him to be an A- A- type guy. Which is pretty much kinda where he is. Just A+ outside looks so awesome.

If you can deal Z, Webb and Chauncey, and gain RCs for your youngsters, I wont mind the LBJ trade. But since youve decided to get your own pick back, you damn well better make it worth your while.

I have Ilgauskas, Billups, and Webber(previously Boozer) surrounding Lebron with virtually no 1st until 2015. The only way to give this team a future and talent was with trading Lebron James. I don't care what people think i'm happy with this deal.
