How do you think you will do in the West this year? If you make the playoffs, what are your expectations? Expectations aren't as high as I hoped . I coulda been sitting way better than I am now if I just added some depth but I have been completely shut out in FA so far, kinda shitty. I think homecourt R1 is a reasonable and obtainable goal, and I think I have a shot to go toe-to-toe with Costa for the division. To say that I think the tradition of the Sonics or Lakers winning every single Pacific division title so far is going to continue would be an understatement. I think we're pretty far ahead of the rest of the division, although Lynch has a competitive team and if Joseph doesn't blow it up (which he will) he could run with us too. In the playoffs I don't fucking know. I'm still putting the peices together from 4 seasons ago. I just know that I'm gonna be there. Its fine either way, bc I have my 6 guys locked up for 3 years, and then after year 4 I'm gonna have Westbrook, Durant, and Smits as my only guys under contract with close to $30M to spend that offseason and a much higher win rating than I have now. (If they all sign back, which they will). So, my window is wide open for a long time and if it doesn't happen for me this year, I expect to see the othet top west teams take steps back as I continue to move forward with an improving core. Time will tell.

I personally don't think Bill is worth that contract, do you think he is and how do you think he'll match up against the top big men in the league?

I personally don't think Bill is worth that contract, do you think he is and how do you think he'll match up against the top big men in the league? Lol. If you don't think Bill Laimbeer is worth $10M per year then you're just wrong. I want him to play 4 but until Smits develops fully Laimbeer is playing 5. He has awesome Post D and strength to go with great rebounding so he'll be okay at 5, but with B handles he is gonna do much better in a year or two when he slides over to 4. I can't believe you don't think he is worth his contract! Lol. He didn't score a lot but was pretty efficient, that is exactly what I want from a big man. Big men are NEVER efficient, especially in the playoffs, so to me guys who don't shoot a lot down low - and especially guys with good jumpshots like Laimbeer and Smits - are really valuable IMO. Prediction: Laimbeer - 15 PPG, 12RPG, 1.5 BPG, 1.0 SPG, .445 FG%

I've also won 2 division titles and 2 more playoff series. In the two seasons I won the division, Joesph finished 2nd by only 2-3 games behind. I also think my franchise has been to the playoffs 4 more times than you.

True you won your division the first year I joined and the year after. 2-2 Texas 4 vs. JGB Really winning the division means nothing anyway. Sometimes it can just be wicked weak and you win barely over .500 and other times teams win 60 and earn a 3 seed.

As a gm what are your goals for your franchise ? I want sustained top tier competitiveness. Instead of selling out for 1 or 2 seasons of being super competitive and risking losing to another powerhouse, I wanna have a roster with elite talent for the long term so I can give myself a chance in any down years in the West, while not sweating it if someone knocks me off or the league is really good in any given year. I know almost for a fact that I'm gonna be good these coming 3 years where I have Moncrief, Lonnie, KD, Russ, Laimbeer, and Smits all locked up. That fourth year might be my down year, but then year 5 Laimbeer and Moncrief expire and I have a lot of cap to play with and I should have a really good Guard/Wing/Post locked up for about $36M. From there I move forward with my current rookies as my max guys and see what happens.
