i know alot of you are going to make alot of trades this offseason. i plan on keeping my core players and only making trades for bench guys. some may say i have a center problem, but next year, i think that problem will be solved and i will have the best starting 5 in the league.
PG Hinrich SG Bryant SF Artest PF Garnett C Diaw
boris diaw will become my starting center next year. if i can resign theo ratliff, good, he will backup at the C spot. diaw is at least a 78 next year. im expecting high 70s or low 80s.

That won't work. Diaw is only playing well in the front court in PHX because he fits there sysytem of quicker players. He would get dominated at Center for you no matter how overated he will be in the game next season.

I don't know, Diaw is pretty good, and I'm sure he will be even more overrated in next years game. That team can definately play a fast pace anyways, all of the starters are capable of running and gunning.

im excited about diaw though. ever since i picked him up earlier this year hes been one of my favorite players. everytime i play the game against my brother and when i have to go to my bench i play him at PF and mcdyess at C. diaw gets all the boards, and while he cant shoot in the game, he can hit close shots. i hate it though, he gets no respect in the paint. hes getting fouled and pushed around but nothing is ever called. i think its because he is listed as a SG primary position and PG secondary position. next year though, diaw will become apart of the detroit pistons starting 5 and will help lead our team to a 70 win season. thats right, im winning 70 games next year. just kidding, but that would be sweet

i plan on holding on to Brand, Maggette, and Miller in my starting line up...i'm looking to trade francis and Jamison...
and Detroit...i think that your overrating yourself...70 wins??? i think not...atleast not with a 6 ft 8 Diaw at center...there are way to many really good teams in this league for you to win 70 games.

hey you never know, but i said i was just kidding. i doubt ill get 70. im a hopeful 60+ win team, anything can happen. anyway, ben wallace is listed as 6'9, and i hear alot that hes only 6'8, diaw may be small, but hes dynamic

True, Ben Wallace can man handle most centers because of how strong he is. Diaw isn't that strong, and if he played as a conventional center, he would be humliated. The Suns system allows him to flourish, I don't know how the game would recognize that, especially when you are Detroit in the game.
