You have some defensive issues that are mostly solved by Ben Wallace.</p>

If Cassell can give you anything and Wallace stays healthy, you've got a championship contender there.</p>

FWIW, your team would beat Real's team 9 out of every 10.</p>

</p> very impressive. solid at every position, with starters and backup. the only problem i see is Cassel's injury proneness and the lack of a 3rd backup point guard. (i guess that could be John Salmons)

</p> Yeah thats what I picked Salmons for (bigger back up PG for a change of pace), he is primarily a 2 but I can play him at the 1-4, which I love about him.

Perhaps you're confusing Ben Wallace with Ben Wallace of t-2, if the unit of t is years? I can't claim to have seen him much last year, but he seems to have had a steep decline, and that's apart from not being a team player at all at the end with the Pistons. I'd have liked to see a better backup c here.</p>

 

C - Tyson Chandler/Brian Cook
PF - Boris Diaw/Chuck Hayes
SF - Andres Nocioni/James Jones
SG - Dorell Wright/Greg Buckner
PG - Deron Williams/Daniel Gibson</p>

Thoughts?</p>

 

Your Golden State Warriors:</p>

<font size="2" color="#000000">PG - Leandro "Speedy" Barbosa / Rajon "Swiss Army" RondoSG - Bobby "Silk" Simmons / Thabo "Swiss Army" SefoloshaSF - Shane "Lockdown" Battier / </font><font size="2" color="#000000">Eduardo "El Tejon" </font><font size="2" color="#000000">NajeraPF - Jorge "Garbo" Garbajosa / </font><font size="2" color="#000000">Jason "Fade" SmithC - </font><font size="2" color="#000000">"Big" Al Jefferson / </font><font size="2" color="#000000">Kyrylo "Mouth" Fesenko / Greg "Don't Call Me Sam" Oden</font> </p>

It's tough when you lose your first round pick for the year, but I really only had him slotted for 20 mpg or so this year. Battier, Simmons, Barbosa and Garbo are all killer shooters from the outside, and I think they'll complement Jefferson nicely. I also think I've got a lot of defensive tenacity on this team, between Simmons, Battier, Garbo, Fesenko, Najera, Thabo and Rondo.</p>

What do you guys think about my chances this year? Did the Oden injury kill all hope?</p>

Thoughts? </p></div>

</p>

I didn't realize just how terrible Boris Diaw is until I realized he was struggling to compete in Eurobasket, which is being dominated by the likes of Saras Jasikevicus and Victor Khryapa. Diaw wasn't even the 3rd or 4th best player on his own team. Nash makes everyone around him look 100% better than they actually are, and Diaw doesn't even look that good in Phoenix.</p>

Deron Williams is a great PG though, and should help. You've got a really thin frontline, going off body weight, not depth, so that should make playing defence hard. You better pray that Wright grows by leaps and bounds, because if not, you've got two pretty weak starters. Not a huge fan of your bench either, although I do like Gibson a lot. </p>

You're going to have a lot of trouble competing with Philly, Boston and Toronto in your division. It would be really hard for this team to make the playoffs.</p>

You don't need a real PG with Dunleavy on the floor. He can play with Mo Pete and Salmons and you can run the offense through him.</p>

You won't want to do that for major minutes, but it's fine if the matchups dictate it or you just want to steal some minutes for Felton and Cassell. You have to be cautious with both of them.</p>

I think he's done a great job deaccentuating Wallace's weaknesses with the rest of his roster.</p>

Wallace is still a dominating rebounder and defensive presence in there.</p>

Don't forget that Ben Wallace has an invaluable distinction.</p>

He was the best player on a title team.</p>

</p> I think you have a great team set up for the future. There is a little concern with scoring because I'm not sure Wright can provide 10-20 points per night, I think he will be inconsistent for this season but after he gains some experience and he should be good. The Williams/Gibson PG combo is going to be hell to deal with. I'm not sure about Cook, I always saw him as a SF/PF not a center. You have players that compliment each other well, so there will be good chemistry on the court.

</p> Oden screwed you over. You still have a nice team to compete with GM3 in the future. You might have some issues scoring but you'll be great on defense with Simmons and Battier. Your team will be fun to watch now and in 5 years.

me neither. especially for Diop, since you practically have the same player in Rasho.</p>

really old. the average age must be 30.</p>

this team would've been great a few years ago. now...who knows. the starting frontline has become injury-prone. I'm not a fan of Elson, Evans, or George. George has been past his prime, and i've just never thought Elson or Evans were all that good. And IMO your frontline needs more depth, at least 1-2 more big men. i'm just iffy about the injury-prone-ness of your big men.</p>

i like everything else about your team, the defense is good, the rebounding's good, scoring is good enough.</p>
