In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Clearly on the decline. He had 35 rebounds in a game last season.alto’s rebound stats.

98/99 Free Agency and Draft
Finally we've come too that most hallowed of traditions: players leaving their shit teams for fame and glory (or possibly money). Our original four players have finally reached the end of their contracts, and we've had some changes. I'll do these for the end of the transfer window as well, if anyone gets traded.
@oneniltothearsenal has moved from the Charlotte Hornets to the Miami Heat ($7.67M/year)
@Dan has signed a new contract with the Philadelphia 76ers ($8.5M/year)
@Salt Bailly has moved from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Denver Nuggets ($7.62M/year)
@Dr. Dwayne has left the New York Knicks to join @Stobzilla at the Vancouver Grizzlies ($6.41M/year)
Draft
From now on I'll hide the ratings in the draft, so that they can be properly introduced with the rest in the next season preview.
With the #8 pick in the draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers (33-49) will take...
With the #2 pick in the draft, the Portland Trailblazers (30-52) choose...
With the #1 pick in the draft, the truly atrocious Seattle Supersonics (22-60) have drafted...
Other players:
#3 Vince Carter to Chicago Bulls
#4 Peja Stojakovic to Charlotte Hornets
#5 Paul Pierce to San Antonio Spurs
#6 Tyrone Nesby to New York Knicks
#7 Mike Bibby to New Jersey Nets
#9 Larry Hughes to Utah Jazz

@V.O.!
Has @altodevil's prayers been heard? Is V.O. the offensive key to unlock the Cavaliers? Time will tell.

You're not wrong. He had 9 "statistical feats" in 1998. In 1997 he had 31.Clearly on the decline. He had 35 rebounds in a game last season.

What do the overall/potentials look like for this class?
You'll see when I do the season previews, we'll see how everyone changed over summer (including you guys), and your teams.
If you mean the other players, it's pretty high. 1998 is no joke.
$8.5M/year, i’ll take that.
I'm not still on peasant money am I?
Sure are, but your contract expires after this season.
@V.O. you better be good or I'm leaving in 12 months
A midget created by somebody who doesn't even know what half the stats mean?
I can see no reason why I won't be at least like, pretty good.

Jumping 100 is a missed opportunity.

I'm shit.
98/99 Season Preview
98/99 Season Preview
Power rankings (initial)
We're starting to see Cafites in stronger teams now. The two bad teams aren't even that bad, ratings wise. Expecting to see quite a few of you in the playoffs.
Players and Teams
@altodevil and @V.O. on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Marginal changes for altodevil yet again. I very much doubt it's going to do anything to his performances. Maybe his new teammate is what he needs? V.O. looks to be quite an offensive power, if we look past his height. He took quite a leap already over the summer, so it might appear that altodevil and the Cavs got really lucky with a draft pick as low as #8. Right now it seems like the Cleveland coach is content to play two Centers instead of his new rookie, but that will probably change. Maybe.
@Salt Bailly on the Denver Nuggets
Some gains, some losses, but ultimately it resulted in no change in Salt Bailly's overall rating. His team is good, but maybe lacks a superstar to really compete. Salt Bailly probably won't be that this season, but let's see what he comes up with.
@oneniltothearsenal on the Miami Heat
oneniltothearsenal took quite the leap over the off-season, improving significantly in many areas. 71 rating puts him just outside of the top 10 for the entire NBA. He wasn't very happy at his former team, so maybe they really were holding him back? Miami aren't incredible, but they do have some contracts coming off the books next season, which might see them continue building. Could we maybe see another star paired with our man?
@Dan on the Philadelphia 76ers
Dan saw very slight changes since last season, but nothing to get worried over. He's the only one out of the 4 original players who decided to stay with his team. We'll see how that pans out, given that they're not particularly strong. Still, in the starting 5 alone they have a lot of money in expiring contracts, which presents an opportunity to maybe build something around Dan soon.
@hobbers and @sebsheep on the Portland Trailblazers
hobbers has finally been joined by a fellow cafite. I can only assume Portland see greatness in sebsheep's future, because his beginnings are rather humble (after he was forced off those performance enhancing drugs). They also drafted a Forward/Center for a team full of Forwards and Centers. Consequently, he's not in the starting lineup. He's just barely outside of it though, so he'll surely play. I wouldn't be too worried about the rating, we've seen how quick things can turn around.
@Solius, @The Cat and @weetee on the Seattle Supersonics
Seattle is not a good team, yet, but they sure stacked up on potential so far. Solius took a slight step forward across the board, which doesn't hurt. The Cat took a very slight step backwards, though, and he wasn't too happy with where he was to begin with. Still, things can change quickly for young players in this game. We've already seen a few examples so far, and there's another one coming up (spoiler alert). Their new man seems a good addition too - just don't give weetee the ball anywhere close to the basket.
@Dr. Dwayne and @Stobzilla on the Vancouver Grizzlies
Speaking of players suddenly improving, I give you Dr. Dwayne. +13 is a very healthy increase. Perhaps a new scene was just the thing he needed, as it came just as he joined Stobzilla in Vancouver. Stobzilla seems to have enjoyed a good off-season too, going up to 57 in rating. Their team is quite good too, though they'll surely hope to hold on to Allen Iverson when his contract expires after the season. Dr. Dwayne is outside of the starting line-up right now, for some reason, but he probably just needs to come out of his shell a bit after his humble beginnings.

Yeahh time to dunk some balls
Playing next to old Payton, noice. Seems like the Sonics save some salary cap leeway for next season to attack the playoffs...or are they just stingy & clueless?!

98/99 All Star Weekend
Dunk Contest
No Salt Bailly this time.
3-Point Contest
Two Cafites involved, rookies no less! @V.O. and @weetee.
All Star Game
This time we had several representatives. The West was represented by teammates @Dr. Dwayne and @Stobzilla. From the East we have @altodevil, @oneniltothearsenal and @V.O. (who seems to be having quite the rookie season so far).

Surprised jobbers not an allstar. Glad v.o starting strong but I'll probably end up leaving anyway
Sweet. finally an all-star. @nimic what are my regular season stats so far?
In the 18-14-6 range.
I'll be retired in 2 years at this rate

Some surprisingly good and otherwise successful players failed to make the playoffs this year. @oneniltothearsenal's Miami and @Salt Bailly's Denver were just one game off, while the all-stars in @altodevil and @V.O. missed out by a quite large margin, the same for @Dan. Though they finished last in the East, their records would have put them above three teams in the West. This includes @Solius, @The Cat and @weetee's Seattle, which looks likely to get a top 3 draft pick for their third year in a row. Will they draft another Cafite?

We have a Caf-off! @Dr. Dwayne and @Stobzilla (Vancouver) will face off against @hobbers and @sebsheep (Portland). This means we'll have at least two Cafites in the 2nd Round

Time to change teams
I’ve had a shocking season, become complacent with that fat new contract.
Thanks @nimic is it possible for you to show my personal stats for that rookie season? 
Also feck the Sonics. Never been a fan.

They're coming in the season review, but you had the 15th most assists per game in the entire league. Another Cafite was 1st.Thanks @nimic is it possible for you to show my personal stats for that rookie season?
