Basically my offense will be this:


Duncan obviously playing the Duncan role.

Penny will be similar to the Ginobli role but he'll also be able to post up a ton(and he'll get out in transition more often). Addittionally he can go back door for alley oops. While he won't be able to extend the defense all the way out to 3 point range, I don't think they're going to be able to sag off of him at all due to his vast scoring ability.

Harper, while not a great 3 point shooter, was 35.4% for his career which comes out to a TS% of 53.1 on 3 pointers alone. So hes someone who you must respect and can't simply leave open from 3.

Kirilenko and McCray both have average/below average midrange games but solid finishing abilities. If you leave them open they may pump fake a jumper and then drive and either finish or dish to keep the continuity of the offense flowing.

As I said, I definitely plan on getting a 3 point threat later on too.


What I like most about my offense is that I can post up multiple players and multiple players can drive and create the offense(actually pretty much everyone can). So I don't always have to go through Duncan. Duncan actually will be involved less in this offense than on the Spurs probably which will free him up for more offensive rebounds.

close up

it's true, I mean he did draft kg afterall, he is clearly the best gm ever.

haha, easily my favorite part about this thread and the EPL draft is someone saying "I am getting great value here"


Round 9, pick 300 Jim McIlvaine

I can't believe I am getting him here, just great value!

good point, was thinking of the starting 5 only

I can't believe Clark got Caron Butler where he did, so sick.

and Deng is an "elite defender"? there is way, way too much self-hype going on in this thread.

haven't we already agreed 1000s of posts ago that what happened in real life won't necessarily happen in our imaginary world? grant hill could get hurt earlier (or not at all), same with the rest. cherrypicking games played from a certain year is the same as cherrypicking stats from a certain year, imo.

our evidence whether a player was injury prone is based on his whole career, not just "oh well he played X games for Y years and then got hurt, so at least I have Y years of usage".

Yeah... my favorite quotes are that and "I'm shocked that so and so lasted this long."

now I must go back and check to see if I did that...

I do remember think at the time that he was a bit of a reach, lol.

oh and

is lol hilarious

eh I think he is from the games i've seen, plus his drtg has been amazing (except for last year) and I know how much u guys love ur stats ldo.

It's true man like I said i've never heard anyone say McHale was an awful passer, just that he didn't like to pass. Our coach will change that and promote an unselfish style of play, and even if McHale doesn't buy in (he should buy in cause hes a team player who accepted a role off the bench for 5+ years and did everything his coaches asked him to ldo) he is still one of, if not the best at scoring before double teams get there/even scoring on double teams.

But ya we will be working hard with McHale on being a willing passer ldo.

coincidence that he played with Tyson Chandler the first two years, and a still pretty good Ben Wallace the 3rd?

who knows. i'm just saying the difference (if there even is one) between between deng and caron defensively is negligible

i dont know, and this is my last post regarding this for now, but don't you think any of his other coaches would have asked him to pass more?

You do know that this is make-believe right? just checking...

shows how much u know

McHale >>>> you ldo

ROFLMAO. Do you ever stop trying to level.

What? I thought we could actually watch these games on tv wtf?

Well obv that helps that Deng played with an elite D bigman but I will also be putting elite D bigmen around him too (McHale was an elite defender and I plan on getting more very good bigmen defenders too).

And no, McHale's job was to score when he touched it, which has been said numerous times. We will still have him score also, I will just tell him to pass more often too.

You bring new meaning to the concept of Fantasy Basketball.

when you make these statements, do you not realize people are going to laugh at them?

Why? A lot of players in the NBA have became more willing passers through good coaching...

Great. So I guess once we all decide to focus our coaching staffs on passing, does that mean every team is equally awesome at it? I mean, what's stopping us all from doing that.

Ya cause they don't realize the difference between being a bad passer and not being a willing passer.

To clarify I don't think my team will be awesome at passing, infact I think they will be one of the worst passing teams in this league, I still think they can do a good enough job off double teams to get it done though. (I only want them to pass off double teams anyway and score when they have 1v1 coverage).

I heard McHale was also an awesome 3 point shooter, he just never shot them.
