Last Call.....

Due to the underwhelming turn out of my last 2k13 post I figured I would give it one last shot. Hopefully this repeat post doesn't irritate anyone but I would love to get some friendly gaming in with my fellow Blazer fanatics and not just random people.

Anybody interested in joining an Online Association on Xbox 360 comment below so I know how many are wanting to.

Draft Time: 11pm (if you are unable to make that time, you can prioritize your player rankings and the CPU will auto-pick)

Settings: 29 games, fantasy draft(to make it fair), best of 3 series in the playoffs, I will unlock all games also.

Anyone Interested in a BlazersEdge Fantasy Association on NBA 2k13?

I know there are a few readers that have shown interest in playing in one so I figured I would set one up. This will be a fantasy serpentine draft to prevent people from taking the fan favorite teams, (Blazers, Thunder, Heat) and to help balance out the talent in the fairest way. I hope people will take this some what serious and stay committed to playing. I have set the draft time for 10:30 tonight (subject to change if not enough people can make that time).

You are the GM, who do you sign in free agency this off-season?

(First time FanPoster, Longtime Lurker)

With the season wrapping up and a possibly exciting free agency ahead of us, you are given the keys and the checkbook and told to make us a contender in the west. Who do you sign?

I think I would target Tyreke Evans or OJ Mayo as my big signing (leaning towards Tyreke). I would sit both him and Wes down and say look you both are starting quality and going to get similar minutes but one of you needs to take your talents to the bench and benefit the team by being our stud 6th man. I think Wes wouldn't have a problem with this if it helps get wins and a chance at winning 6th man of the year could be added motivation. Two ball handlers and shot creators in Lillard and Evans could be dangerous.

I don't give Maynor the QO but take my chances bringing him back on a smaller 2 year deal.

If Hickson for some reason isn't offered big money, then I bring him back otherwise bye bye JJ and I sign Earl Clark as my backup PF.

At center I bring in Jermain O'Neal on a small, short term deal leaving me with a vet presence and future flexibility. I would start JO but have Meyers getting the majority of minutes.

I fill out the rest of the bench with a shooter (insert your choice here) Anthony Morrow, Martell, etc.. And also bring E-Will back on a cheap deal.

I draft BPA and use my two 2nd rounders to snag Withey.

Final Result:

Lillard (Maynor)

Evans (Matthews, Ewill)

Batum (Claver, Morrow or Martell)

LA ( Hickson or Earl Clark, Freeland)

O'neal (Leonard, Withey)

Tell me what you think and what you would do.

Go BLAZERS!!
