Oh, the deadline passed, I stayed put. Check above

For sure, Conference Finals at least. It's gonna be hard against the Spurs and Lakers, and Sixers if I reach the Finals.

any offseason roster goals yet?

Scottie is 35, so I think I should start looking for a replacement; Augmon is not the answer. Perhaps look for an extra center, Sabonis is getting close to retirement as well.

whoops, missed a couple posts

do you think there will be players to fill your needs that late in the first round of the draft? or will you look to trade or bring in free agents? anyone in mind yet?

No one in mind specifically, but I'm almost reaching the hard cap (next year as well), so I think I can sacrifice a bench warmer and some draft picks in order to acquire someone better and with a smaller salary. The 2001 and 2002 drafts weren't exactly impressive.

EDIT: My mistake. I said I was 6-6 against division rivals, but with the 2004 realignment! (Sonics, Wolves, Jazz, Nuggets. I'm 0-3 against Utah, so that played its part).

But since I'm in 2000-01, I made my maths: I'm actually 12-3 in my division (Lakers, Kings, Suns, Sonics, Clippers, Warriors). So I edited the post with a different stat that has me scratching my head.

You are out here dominating but San Antonio and the Lakers are hot on your trail.

Thanks for checking in, James! Both are breathing on my neck. I gotta play the Lakers two more times, then Spurs and LA face two more times as well. Anything can happen.
