Help Me Pick a Team

[LHSLax_D24]

I am looking for a team that can push for the playoffs year 1, but also has some nice young prospects for the future. Also, if the team has a bad year (with high expectations) I can blow up the team for the future.

EDIT: If it helps, I usually like to slash w/ the Pick 'n' Roll and either take all the way or kick it to my big man or open jump shooter.

Portland, Oklahoma City, Sacramento, maybe Atlanta.

Those teams have all been in consideration (except OKC because my bro is using them), but I need something to put a team over the top.

the Thunder were my choice when looking for the same thing in a team before starting an association.


Um, if you're really looking more to the future, but would like to at least try for the playoffs, maybe you could consider the Clippers or Bulls. and maybe make a deal (if you're the Bulls) for McGrady. (which I think the real Bulls should do)

I love the Grizzlies...

In my association, I actually traded Mayo to Chicago for Rose and packaged Connelly and Randolph for A'mare. Those two transactions quickly built a nice "Big 3" (Rose, Gay, Stoudamire). I manuevered several small trades to fill out a rotation that fits my style of play...

Straight from your sig: the Wizards

I'm guessing your style of play is up tempo? (which with those 3, would be a great style to run)

But, to the original poster, if you do take the Grizzlies, the would be a great team to use even without making trades. Mayo, Randolph, and Gay present you with a solid big 3, and Conley and Gasol rounding out the starting 5 is a great line up. So, I'd say either them, the Clippers, or the Bulls.

I just started one with the Bulls and they have a good young team with potential but they really aren't clear contenders because of their lack of offense. I mean D. Rose can go off on teams but he needs some real backup so I will be looking for a good trade soon.

I guess I'll look at T-Mac too but personally I'm always looking for younger guys. Bulls are a good choice though, because you can swing games playing the right type of defense with them.
