Question: Who the hell is Jacob Pullen, and why is his potential off the charts? He went up 6 full ratings half-steps (like C+ to B-) in the offseason. No other player in the entire league went up even 5 steps, and only 4 players went up 4. It just seems strange that he just signed a 3 year super-cheap deal with OKC and now he's one of the best young players in the league.
Comparison of players: ![]() The main difference is that Pullen is being paid $9.9M over the next 3 years, while Wall is being paid $49.5M, Deron $52.8M, and Irving $13.4M (over just the next 2). That's pretty damn good for an undrafted scrub who isn't even that good in Israel. I just don't know that I follow what's going on here. |

imho the most scary thing in the preseason was:
Josh Smith PF 40 18.5 8.3 6.5 1.6 1.5 2.2 1.5 .449 .634 .500
these stats in these mins...Oops
Ohh and btw: all the "fishy" deals made between Hawks ans Suns are not even close to the bullshit made by Bulls and Spurs GM's....
Btw2: lol hahaha, spurs not only traded their best prospect for scrubs, but they also don't have 1st round pick in the two straight years (is that allowed btw?)

Yeah I'm very surprised about SA. I picked up their first thinking it could be around like 17,but quite a surprise now
If you've ever been in a 2011 sim, you always know that Pullen becomes quite good....there's a reason I've tried to keep him, but I also believe that this might be his max potential.
If ppl are questioning my trades with Spurs, he traded Leonard for depth and value to him. It was far from unfair. Him trading his pick to me after getting Thornton and Hibbert made me think low teens to 20s. I wouldn't call that unfair. Plus Leonard regressed
People complain because I take gambles. Some work, some don't, that's just the way I operate. Just been getting lucky lately

we can complain only about GM's making bad trades, not about other GM's abusing it  and trading pietrus for kawhi and 1st pick for 7 Mil (when u have biggest revenue around) ain't gamble at all  |

Just been getting lucky lately Yeah, I'm not suggesting you were cheating or anything with the Spurs, I just think it was a good trade for you that is even better than expected. I thought Spurs would be decent, but still miss the playoffs and the pick would be 10-15. But it's only pre-season; I traded for New Orleans' first rounder last year after they were bottom three in preseason and they ended up making the playoffs, so you never know. And with Pullen, I guess that makes more sense, even if it's still dumb that he's so good. Not your fault, I've never actually played around with FBB myself so I wouldn't have known that. At least he isn't starting for you and putting up monster numbers. |

Let's see here, some Stab Agency thoughts.. Miami: Faried and Gallo keep improving while LeBron takes off looking for another MVP type season. Nate Rob no playing time Raptors: Fields is providing good numbers off the bench while shooting high percentages. Loves Canada. Pacers: Ibaka playing less then 30 and averaging 3.4BPG, wow. Rondo, 17ppg, 7rpg, and 10 apg is amazing. 76ers: Ray doesn't play but Jrue makes sure he gets his moneys worth, 27ppg 5 rebounds 7 assists shooting over 50% from the field for a PG. Wow Cavs: Ryan Kelly getting minutes, maybe convert him to SF and he'll play even better. Magic: Anderson getting 15 and 7 at SF, continues to improve! Glad to be apart of an amazing organization! Celtics: Bradley continues to not play as much because of Manu now.. maybe a change in the off-season. Bulls: Rookie Goodwin is getting a few minutes per game, not bad. Hawks: Rookie Burke started for the hawks, 14 and 7 isn't bad. Nets: Hansbrough played well off the bench, Daniel Green getting minutes, Jimmer playing decent, needs a camp or something to really improve. Rivers and Harris didn't play yet. Globetrotters: Miles and Meyers both played but.... blehhh.. Thunder: DMC is killing it with a star loaded team and Biyombo is playing well behind him. Grizzlies: DJ is playing well, wish he could get more minutes though. Warriors: Nobody notices Bieds, 14 and 13 as a center, that is easily All-Star Caliber, looking to get him paid this off-season. Klay is getting better but not fast. Curry is lighting it up in Oakland. 24PPG. Clippers: Andre Drummond is a man-child fellas.. but with Gasol and Len, I am a bit scared turk won't want him.. Jazz: Kanter players.. but not enough.. and 0 camps to him  Nuggets: Humphries and Wade are both playing well, but they need a bit of help. |

I knew Pullen was going to be good in this league, he was putting up some nice stats as a reserve (even lead the league in assist per 48) and I'm sure if Pats was still running that agency, Pullen would have moved elsewhere because I felt like it was Pats plan to have him in OKC for a year or 2 and then move him to a team where he could start and really prove himself.
It's too bad, guess that's what happens when agents quit and someone else has to try and figure out so many situations so quickly.
