15pts 9.1 assists and the team record is real bad. Ouch
@nimic - could you post a Sonics vs San Antonio team sheet? Is it possibke only to have the playoff stats featured there?
Pretty embarrassing performance this year. Do we get a better draft pick now?2004 Playoff Bracket
Quite a tale of two different RedCafes this year. Disappointment in the East, quite the opposite in the West (maybe except if your name is altodevil)
East: @BenitoSTARR is the only one who makes it, and barely at that! A 2-8 losing streak is not a particularly good sign. @Salt Bailly and @oneniltothearsenal miss out by just one game, while @reelworld was far from it. @Skizzo and @V.O. are probably the biggest disappointment, going back to the old Cleveland ways instead of getting back into the playoffs as expected. I'm rather disappointed in you easterners.

West: The only one who didn't make it in the west was @sebsheep, but he wasn't expected to either. That said, in the end even the worst record in the West was only wins away from making the playoffs (which also means that Salt Bailly and oneniltothearsenal would have made the playoffs if they were in the West). @Dan and @Samid are surprisingly in, as the 4th (!) and 8th seed. The rest were expected, though @altodevil might be disappointed that the reigning NBA Champions only barely made the playoffs. @P-Nut, @Stobzilla, @Dr. Dwayne, @hobbers, @weetee, @Solius and @The Cat will all duke it out in the playoffs. There's bound to be heartbreak.

Nice. Hopefully we can get someone to carry me to a championship.You have the 3rd worst record in the league, so probably.
Feck's sake.
I was injured. Unless I wasn't injured, in which case, we were tanking.![]()
Impressive. Feel like me and jobbers have been hard done by though by being too good immediately. Better to be shite and get high picks for your team.
Yeah in your face @BenitoSTARR
*sad hammer noises* I thought we were friends. I thought you’d understand what it’s like to be a tool?Yeah in your face @BenitoSTARR
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I actually really want to see them on a team together.Those four end up in one single team and I might consider retirement.
Oof sounds like my buzzer beater was crucial in the finals.
That's sick, nice spotOof sounds like my buzzer beater was crucial in the finals.
Have I joined the Bulls yet
I've got news for you as well, I'm afraid![]()
@nimic we see you trying to sneak your LeBron James Atlanta team into the championship!
Have Charlotte already done the expansion draft?
04/05 Draft and Free Agency (and some trades!)
So, I just realized that quite a few trades actually take place in this game during free agency. The reason I didn't notice is that it puts those trades in the previous year, and I stop checking trades after the trade deadline. Because it's the trade deadline. The only reason I noticed this time is because... well, we'll get to that.
First, the draft! The top 12, anyway.
- Dwight Howard (57 overall) to the Portland Trailblazers
- Luol Deng (55) to the Boston Celtics
- Andre Iguodala (59) to the Indiana Pacers via the Minnesota Timberwolves
- Josh Childress (56) to the Milwaukee Bucks via the Cleveland Cavaliers
- J.R. Smith (55) to the Los Angeles Lakers
- Trevor Ariza (52) to the Los Angeles Clippers
- Josh Smith (53) to the New Orleans Hornets
- Shaun Livingston (46) to the Dallas Mavericks
- Devin Harris (54) to the Indiana Pacers via the Philadelphia 76ers
- Ben Gordon (54) to the Phoenix Suns
- Al Jefferson (43) to the Seattle Supersonics via the Washington Wizards
- Emeka Okafor (55) to the Miami Heat
Free Agency:
@The Cat has signed a new contract with the Seattle Supersonics worth $5.7M/yr through 2008. The Cat knows a good thing when he sees it.
@Stobzilla has re-signed with the Memphis Grizzlies for $3.78M/yr through 2008.
@altodevil has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers for $14.26M/yr through 2009. It's not Seattle, but they do spend a lot on coaching and physios.
@hobbers has decided he wants to try something new, and so has chosen the newest thing around and signed for the Charlotte Bobcats for $14.44M/yr through 2009.
Trade News (only big trades involving you or your teams)

It seems like the Miami Heat are actually going for it. @oneniltothearsenal can decide for himself whether this seems worth it.

This marks the first time the 76ers have been Cafite-less since we started this thing. I guess they're tanking, but was it really worth it getting rid of a young, good and not very highly paid @reelworld? Their loss is his... gain? Time will tell.

A clear statement of intent from the Nets, getting rid of older or worse players, plus some draft picks, to acquire @sebsheep.

Now that's surprising! @weetee just won his second title with the Supersonics, and they decide to turn him into 3 other players (and a worthless draft pick). I guess they might have started regretting handing him that massive contract, though it did lead to a couple of championships.
