Just wanted to ramble some on my Association I have going and see what you all thought of my roster moves.
Finished the season 36-46. Just a few games out of the playoffs in the East. Went into the off-season with some plans to improve my team over the short and long term.
I picked up the options on Tyrus Thomas and Joakim Noah. Both of whom are unhappy(morale down below 10%) but they were cheap to keep.
I cut loose Ben Gordon, Anthony Roberson, Aaron Gray, Lindsey Hunter, and Linton Johnson. Jerome James i dumped his salary to $0 and waived him. Pretty much reflecting the insurance buy out that will happen since he will never play in the NBA again due to his injury.
In the draft I had the 13th and 29th overall picks and a pick in the middle of the 2nd round.
My draft looked like this:
1st Round
13th Pick; C Jerome Jordan, Tulsa.
29th pick; PF Tyler Hansbrough, UNC.
2nd Round
SG Dionte Christmas, Temple.
After the draft I swung a trade, the first of my own in this Association, with the Portland Trailblazers.
Bulls get
Nicolas Batum
Blazers get
Joakim Noah
Batum was bured behind Webster and Outlaw in Portland and will be my small forward of the future and Noah gives the Blazers depth at the 4 and 5 and gives them a better back up to Aldridge.
Now coming into free agency My roster/depth chart looks like this:
PG: Derrick Rose/Kirk Hinrich
SG: John Salmons/Dionte Christmas
SF: Luol Deng/Nicolas Batum
PF: Tyler Hansbrough/Ty. Thmas/Ti. Thomas
C: Jerome Jordan/Brad Miller
In free agency I'm looking to sign Luther Head. I just need an outside shooter for cheaper and he can play the 1 and 2 and is a pretty solid defender.
Deng, Hinrich, and Ty. Thomas are all on the trading block.
I'm the most worried about getting rid of Deng. I can't stand him. Any ideas?
And with Ty. Thomas being so unhappy I may move him to the Res. list and sign a cheap PF for depth and to fill the roster. Maybe someone like James Augustine. Just need "a guy".
What you all think?
