If they only had one or none, they would only have the overall of that player in the table. This involved a slightly different rule, I made a heat map, combining the overall's of the two leading players at each position. When drafting, I would pair this with the official draft picks of the 2010 Draft, and pick according to what the team needed, or the best available if they had a team of starter caliber at each position Īdditionally, as the second round stayed the same as it did in real life, if a player was deemed on Wikipedia to never play in the League, they weren't signed. Prospect: Less than two years in the league, first round pick, above 65OVRįrom this is how I built out a table to better understand each teams requirements when it comes to draft picks I basically created a simple rule for each team, deeming the top rated player in each position into four categories Star, Starter, Prospect & Need.
Thought I'd do a little insight on how the transition from one game to another will go down, as well as how I organised and prepared for the offseason controlling all 30 teams.

Carlos Boozer, arguably the second largest fish in this free agency period, will join the New Jersey Nets, creating a dangerous trio for Brooklyn to call home.Ĭhicago Bulls sign Anthony Morrow 2yr/5.52m The Cavs will have to scrap to make the playoffs, with a roster built around a star no longer there. Additionally, the Cavs added former Bull Tyrus Thomas on a one-year contract, a piece brought in to support the loss of the King's output. Shaq's signing seems clear that the Cavs were set on running back the current roster with LeBron returning, hoping to make that next step with Delonte West healthy.
Shaquille O'Neal will return to Cleveland next season, in what most are tipping as his last year. The NBA will officially enter a new era, with the New York Knicks finally securing the franchise player they've been chasing for so many years, and skyrocketing up the Power Rankings heading into next season. I wish the team nothing but the best, but my time in Cleveland has come to a close. I'd like to thank the teammates I've had over the years, especially big Z who's been there from the jump, as well as those who have fought in the trenches of the Playoffs with me over the years like Mo & Delonte. I feel like right now, this was my opportunity to branch out and try a new place to expand my basketball experience. I'm forever grateful to this city, and to what it has made me over the last 25 years of my life. Boozer no doubt will have teams chasing his signature, but the question becomes where does he fall, and is he the piece that Cleveland can welcome back in to get LeBron back on-side? Time for Boozer to move on, Millsap to step upĬarlos Boozer is the biggest name to choose to test free agency over re-signing with the Jazz this offseason, leaving the Jazz with a hole fit for Paul Millsap to slide into.
