He has Oden and Darko both all league first team players along with OJ Mayo, Greg Monroe and other good players as well but yet he had a worse record than my Bulls last season who were led by Jason Richardson uhh thats it.
This year he is 8-7 adding championship PG Stephon Marbury and all his players showed improvement over TC. Is DJ the best at making bad DC's on purpose? How many seasons does it take for him to stop fucking around and be a great team?

Time to educate...
the sim favors guard play. If you look at all of the top teams right now, as well as past champions, their top options on offense are always guards or small forwards, while their inside players are used for rebounding and shot blocking. For some reason, the sim is designed so that this formula is what wins the most games. Having your inside players as top options doesn't result in as many wins... this is obviously some sort of flaw in the game since great interior play, both offensively and defensively, is usually what wins championships in real life... So, even though I know this, I am still trying to find a way to win with Darko and Oden as options... because IT SHOULD WORK(even though it doesnt).
Btw, i traded away my first last year in the Randolph trade, so I dont see how tanking would have helped me...

Again the question posed had nothing to do with tanking but rather your underachieving. I'm surprised people can't get through reading one sentence without spinning to their own conclusions.
Why is it that Detroit, the franchise with the most wins, always has won with big men and not the play of stellar guards? I also had Brand and Dirk inside for me and that seemed to work.
For you not to be a top 4 team in the east this season is a travesty and you should enter your contract year for not winning with Oden, Darko, Mayo +. Ooops wait I forgot you lost with Tmac, Arenas, AK, Redd and spare me of the shit that they weren't ready because I won with Zhi Zhi Wang, Dino Radja, and Elton Brand.

Seriously, what is your obsession with my team? Why dont you go complain about the bottom dwellers not altering their depth charts in an attempt to actually win a few games, instead of just leaving things as they are, so they can keep on losing?
Dirk was an inside/outside threat, not just an inside scorer ala Oden and Darko. Plus, i seem to recall that you had Manu and some very good guard/forward play to go along with Brand and Dirk. Btw, even though you had brand and Dirk, you only managed to win how many championships? Like I said... having your bigs as options doesnt result in as many wins... therefore it isnt as effective. Ive had Darko/Oden less than one full season and Oj Mayo is still developing... so your point that i should be some sort of juggernaut is ridiculous, since my team is still developing.

Nowhere in your original post did you say "underachieving"... You did however state "Is DJ the best at making bad DC's on purpose?"... which can only lead to one conclusion... If i were making bad DC's on purpose, i would have to be trying to lose and therefore, I would be tanking... TANKING... not simply underachieving. It's amazing how someone can post something... and then try to spin it off as having some other meaning than what it actually says.

It was posed as a question not a statement to where you quoted me. Also you would be underachieving if you had a subpar season wouldn't you? I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish here...

Also don't you feel it important to develop your younger talent by acquiring RC's or is that another part of your scheme to underachieve to be subpar.

How was it a subpar season when i was rebuilding last year and still made the playoffs? Because you had the 2 best big men in the league and didn't do as well as many expected. Par is measured upon the skill. If you drove a golf ball 100 yards on a par 3 that would be great but on a par 5 it wouldn't. You were subpar last season

This is just ridiculous. It's 15 games into the year, and it's not as if he's 5-10, he's 8-7.
He's losing because Mayo's AST : TO ratio is not even 2:1, he's losing because he does not have a true SG, he's losing because he does not have any legit. scoring threats outside of Darko & Oden.
Most of all, he's losing because he's lost to Detroit, Indiana, Indiana, New Orleans, Detroit, Dallas, & San Antonio. 6 of his 7 losses are to 4 of the top 6 teams in the league, and the Spurs have a .692 WP(7th best), and Dallas is a solid team as well.
So, he's lost 7 times, 6 of which are to some of the league's top teams, and all but 1 of the losses were within like 10 points.
Basically, yes, while on paper his team looks sick, it shouldn't be hard to see why they have 7 losses.
Fact is, Mayo may have nice ratings, but he's not a good PG right now, and while Wright is nice, he should be a 6th man.
Now, could he make some trades and be better? Sure. However, to say that he's losing because of something he's doing with his lineup is downright ridiculous.

It was just a questioned posed of how many subpar seasons does it take.
I made a reference to this season and to what he had but the question posed was what I stated above. Not is DJ tanking this year. Please learn how to read and not assume.

Is that the best you got? That comeback was worse than your DC
who runs fast with an inside focus? who does that?
