#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Watching Colts game. Will try to get something up later. For now, just ask questions.

Will the Colts lose or lose badly?

Win bitch!

What kind of production are you expecting from your point guards, Devin Harris and Damon Jones? Who will start?

I expect them to be good enough to win. Nothing special, but solid all around players. Right now, I plan on starting Harris to pair up with my more talented players. He is a superb athlete which is something that is missing in my backcourt currently. Jones will come off the bench and provide stellar three point shooting and, hopefully, build on leads that the starters provide.

What kind of production are you expecting from your front court?

What is your starting 5?

Dr. Rocker, The Cleveland Rocker: You will have to deal with the Wizards in the regular season 4 times, but you may face them in the playoffs up to 7 times. given your issues at point guard and the strength of Shaq compared to your front court . . . if you can't get past them, how do you make adjustments given your cap situation?

Can you give us your thoughts when you traded Arenas for Devin Harris, who looked like a very identical player to Arenas.

I expect them to perform very well this season. From my starters, I expect KVH to be a 20 PPG scorer and match up nightmare from the 4 spot. Next to him will be rookie Emeka Okafor who I feel will be a great complement to Van Horn with his advanced rebounding and defense. Off the bench, we bring Jerome James, Rasheed Wallace, and Don Reid. James and Wallace were starters from last season so this year, I expect them to make up the top bench front court unit in the league. Don Reid was sixth man of the year last season for the defending champion Lakers. He will bring grit and experience to the front court while providing meaningful experience off the bench.

That's an if. I'll deal with that if the time comes.

I also received Kyle Korver in the deal, who I expect to be a key piece to this team's success. In regards to Devin Harris when looking at him prior to the draft I saw an athletic freak who prioritized passing to scoring, something Arenas did not do. After TC, he looks more like Arenas but I still feel he can be a great player and distributor for this team.

I already said it's an if. You are not answering the question. You can't predict the future, but have yet to even make a statement with this press conference, and now you are repeating questions back as answers or citing platitudes rather than putting in a good effort.

You are either a politician or you take us here for fools.

Either way, I don't see how anyone can even give credit for this until you are least do the minimum for us gathered here in this "event" YOU called.

So, I'll do you a favor and ask again: What if?

I can't predict the future. But here you go. I'll make a move in FA, make a trade, or stand pat.

Why did you even call a press conference? To tell me that water is wet?

This is a sham, and I can't believe I was asked to attend this.

I called for a press conference to answer questions about this season.

You are failing to both do that and to live up to the minimum standards of press conferences, and I've got years in the business.

This is a waste of time.

I have no idea what I will do if I lose. That good?

Can you comment on the allegations that Arenas had something to do with Korver's decline in shooting ability through some extra-curricular activities?

How comfortable do you feel with your bench this season?
