I'm bringing number 20 back to the Eagles
If You Could be the General Manager of 1 Professional Sports Team

Yankees because the owner would give give me limitless money to do what I want.
If I had the power to make all decisions I'd say the Raiders.Key position changes could totally change the team,but the owner will never give someone that power to make any changes.

Dallas Mavericks
I would be the truth

I was hoping you'd say the Cowboys... I'd like to see if you'd get rid of Romo or Roy Williams.
I guess your right about that being unrealistic since Jerry Jones pretty much is the GM.
I'd live to hear what you gotta say cause you can't honestly think Vick at QB gives the Falcons a better chance to win than Ryan.
If I was an owner, I would never hire you. LOL So you going to get rid of JR and take a HUGE hit on your salary cap. Then who would you be able to sign?
Both of you guys are kidding about drafting John Wall right? You want an unproven college kid with no jumper to replace a NBA All Star Harris? I couldn't hire you guys. If you are Jersey, you get the #1 pick and shop it for a great deal. A lot of teams will be lined up to get that pick from them.
The Nets need to let Dell Harris coach. This guy needs another shot at coaching. The team is the youngest or 2nd youngest in the NBA with 3 of their starting 5 out most of this season so I expected that start from them. When Yi comes back you have a pretty good starting 5. They need a Small Forward. They can probably get T-Mac for cheap in the off season. Nets just need to hurry up and move to Brooklyn because they don't have an identity right now.
Great moves. I would hire you to be a GM. I wouldn't get Byron Scott to coach though.
If I had my choice I would take the Miami Heat GM job. I would wait until All Star break to see what the if the Clippers are still in the 3rd worst spot in the Western Conference. If they are completely out of the Playoff race and real shitty, I would call them and say "hey, how would you guys like 22 million dollar salary cap space next season." If they say yes, I would trade Jermaine O'Neal's expiring 22 mill contract and ask them to send me Barron Davis (who is signed to a multi year deal) and Marcus Camby (who has an expiring contract). In this economy they would be more likely to take this deal. I think Barron would make DWade stay in Miami. Then in the off season there will be quality players for cheap because no one is spending big loot like they use to in the NBA. You could resign Camby for 7 mill and I would try to add Boozer for about 8 or 9 mill. Then I could resign Haslim for the Mid level exception and sign JJ Reddick because I doubt if the Magic resigning him with that salary cap they have and resign Dorrell Wright fro dirt cheap. Finally I'm drafting Dexter Pittman from Texas to be my backup Center and maybe future center. These moves gives me a damn good team to compete for the top 3 spots in the East.
That's not too bad of a job because the Clippers have had talent the past couple of seasons to work with.
Although I am a Bulls fan, I'd GM the Clippers. These are the things, I'd do to make this team viable!
1) First thing I'd do is trade A. Thorton to the Wolves for Johhny Flynn. Rubio will be in the league soon and after staring in his Rookie season, Flynn will be expendable as he he has to be looking over his shoulder as he wont want to get benched for Rubio in the future.
2) Trade Baron Davis and Marcus Camby to Houston for Tracy McGrady! I'd let McGrady walk in the summer and sign Lebron with the 25 mil in cap space. I know what you're thinking, Lebron aint going to the Clippers, but let's look at this further! It only makes sense, Lebron in Hollywood is the only situation that can make him larger (think of his Entourage cameo times 100).
Plus the Kobe/Lebron comparision will produce a boon for the league and the city. Imagine a Lakers/Clippers Western Conference Finals, bananas! Also, the most extravagant thing he can do is ressurect the clippers!
This will leave the Clips with a starting line-up of:
PG J. Flynn
SG E. Gordan
C C. Kaman
PF B. Griffin
SF L. James
with D. Jordan, R. Butler, and a top 10 pick (I'm thinking Davis from UNC) in the draft as the clips will tank the rest of the w/ Tracy McBaby on the team!

If I could be GM, I would take over my hometown KANSAS CITY CHIEFS!
I'd flush Scott Pioli, Todd Haley, and anyone else associated with the "Patriot Way" and tell them to go back to New England. Depending on whether or not I had to deal with a salary cap in 2010, I'd put Cassel on the block for offensive or defensive line help. Make a play for Tarvaris Jackson, Jason Campbell, or Chad Pennington if he comes back (don't laugh b/c the man is accurate if nothing else). Maybe take a 3rd or 4th round flier on QB Dan LeFevour from Central Michigan.
I've got a potential franchise LT in Albert and a stalwart Waters at LG, but I need to retool the rest of the O-line through free agency (i.e. sign dirty-ass Kevin Mawae and Jared Gaither). Charles looks like he could be a find at RB along with Bowe at WR assuming he stays clean. I'd take a one-year w/one-year option flyer on T.O. who would still command attention even with declining skills. NEVER should have gotten rid of Gonzalez at TE, but I'd make a deal for Martellus Bennett and call it a day.
Depending on the cap situation or lack thereof, I would scrap the 3-4 and pick up Julius Peppers in free agency to transition back to 4-3. Pep, Dorsey, Jackson, and Hali on the D-line. I'd grab Keith Bulluck at OLB in free agency in addition to D'Qwell Jackson at SLB. Slide Derrick Johnson to the middle.
In the secondary, I'm using my number one pick on Eric Berry or Taylor Mays depending on who's available. All other picks are trade bait. I'd hold on to Flowers as my #2 CB, but make an offer sheet to restricted FA CB Tramon Williams to be the #1. Mike Brown would be a stopgap at the other safety position. Special teams would need a complete makeover other than the punter and kicker.
All of the above depends on whether there's a cap and whether the Hunt family would open their pockets. Yes I know I'm putting a lot of stock in free agency, but the key is to be smart and not fall in love with the big names like the Redskins. The changes above could make the Chiefs an 8-10 win team if things bounced the right way. Back to the playoffs within 2 years.

This isn't NBA Live. You really think these are real life trade scenarios.
Ricky Rubio can't come to the NBA until 2011 so why would the Wolves give up their starting pg for an average sf?
There is no way the Rockets will take on Baron Davis's salary. A 30 year old shoot first pg who is still left with 3 years and $41 million on his contract. Once McGrady's salary comes off the books Houston will have around 10-14 million in salary cap space and will have enough to go after a decent sg or pf/c because there's no way to know if Yao will come back healthy. Pg is the last place the Rockets need help at so Baron wouldn't be a good pick-up for them. McGrady's expiring contract is gold. $23 million in salary cap space so they can get a better player than Baron Davis. They can get a better deal with Utah and trade McGrady for Boozer, Kyle Korver and CJ Miles or Ronnie Brewer. They get an all star pf out that deal and $5 million in salary cap savings for Korver when he becomes a free agent.
With those two trades not happening their not going to have enough cap room to sign Lebron.
Good scenarios but I don't think practical in any way.
Miami might take Davis & Camby for Jermaine O'Neal's expiring contract.
I think the Heat are looking to sign either Bosh, Amare or Boozer a dominant pf/c. Baron Davis plays the same game as D-Wade and Camby will be 36 next summer.
The Cowboys.
But it wouldn't mean shit because Jerry would still interfere with any and every decision made by me.
wizards. i'd say skins but i cannot work for Snyder. I'd make the wiz more defense-oriented, the way they were when they had Ruland and Mahorn in the middle. Would have drafted Roy Hibbert. Keep Caron, trade arenas and get 2 or 3 complimentary pieces. That joke of a coach they have would get the boot. I'd then hire Avery Johnson to a long term deal and give him full control.
Amare probably won't opt out. Boozer can be had for cheap. Baron dishes out enough assists plus Miami needs more scoring. Camby has an expiring contract. Camby Still grabs you 11 boards again at his age. I don't see him dramatically dropping off soon. Bosh wants a max contract which I don't think he deserves. Chicago will over pay him though.
Wade isn't staying in Miami for Camby. Bosh is only 25 so I think he's the prize free agent for whatever team Lebron or D-Wade is on, Amare for whatever player doesn't get Bosh and Boozer is the last resort.
Wade stays because he has an amazing back court with Baron. Camby can resign for cheap. Bosh is looking for a max contract, Boozer isn't. Both put up similar numbers but Boozer is bigger and more of a banger in the paint. You grab Boozer for 9 to 10 mill a year. Maybe slightly less. What's great is you still under the cap with those moves. I would let New York or Chicago over pay Bosh.
You may think Bosh is overated but he's a 25 year old pf/c in a league that is void of big men with talent. He's going to get a max contract. The Heat can't afford to go cheap if they want to keep D-Wade.
Baron is 30 and injury prone and Camby is 35. Boozer is going to want at least $10 million and with so many teams with salary cap room he's going to get it. Ben Wallace got 4 years at $15 million a year so it's not that far fetched for a team to offer Boozer $10 to $13 million a year.
Pat Riley needs to go for a home run in order for D-Wade to stay and trading for Baron and Camby I don't think is going to cut it.
So why give him a max contract when Boozer puts up the same numbers with a better FG %?
Boozer is injury-prone. Amazingly he's healthy this year when it's a contract year. He can only play pf. He wouldn't be my first option to sign. The Heat have the money so its no need for them to be cheap. Why not go after the best available player.
Bosh can play center if need be. He's a better scorer and is younger.
Pau Gasol became a dominant #2 option when he came to the Lakers I think the same thing will happen with Bosh if he plays with Lebron or D-Wade.
I just think Pat Riley is going to go after Bosh first, Amare second and if he can't get one of them then he'll settle for Boozer.
... Dont say that shit. Bosh is talented but too soft IMO. Go after Amare if you have to have a PF. Watch those dumbasses fuck up and let Noah walk or trade him. I never know what the Bulls front office is thinking...
1.Hire Shanahan.
2.Pay 7 million to Clinton Portis, Thx but your services are no longer need.
3.Resign Jason Campbell. Not a good choice of free agent QB's this season.
4.Draft Offensive linemen, Defense linemen, Running Back, and a Safety. I love La' Ron Landry but I tired of him getting beat on long pass plays.
I would bring this Jersey back w the Arrow helmet.
The Bears.
I'd fire Ron Turner, Pep Hamilton, Harry Hiestand and Lovie as Defensive Coordinator. It would be tough to bring in a big name OC because the HC is on the hot seat but Id get a decent QB coach, a DC unafraid to disagree with Lovie and a O line coach that lit fire under the Oline's ass. The only 2 times the Bears have been to the Super Bowl was when the DC and HC didnt get along although Lovie and Riveria got along better than Ditka and Buddy.
Id check and see if maybe Dennis Green could come on as OC and see if he could get Jim Zorn to rebuild Cutler's self esteem and confidence after this bullshit ass season. Idk of any good available OL coachs off the top of my head but Id defer to the OC for suggestions.
See if Romeo was interested in running a 4-3 just to get his name out there again.
Then in FA get the Rams starting FS, that they have franchised the past couple of years. Sign a big veteran WR, because what we have now are either slot receivers or vastly inexperienced. Cut Orlando and Vasher in June or July. Mandate that Cutler and the WR's spend at least 6 weeks together practicing before training camp. Sign an offensive guard with a surly disposition, every on the line seems too damn soft. Draft at least 2 offensive linemen with the first 3 picks, with a strong possibility of at least 1 starting or giving one the current vets a run for his money. Draft a big FB that can help open up some holes for Forte.
Seems unrealistic but, hey I can dream.

damn this dude was right on the money. if i DID choose to GM the skins, this is basically what i would do. Our d-line is already a beast. I'd get rid of Philip Daniels though lol..
This is Dumb??
After getting rid of Gordon and seeing how this season is going for you guy, you guys are desperate. You will pay him the max because you have the space to do it. If he deserves a max contract like CHEMIST says, then you can easily justify a few other Power Forwards getting the max. Hell if Toronto was smart. They would trade Bosh to you guys now in return for Deng and Noah. In fact I'll make you guys take on Turk contract in return for Miller's expiring contract.
If you are worry about injure prone players, why would you take Amare. He has been out more than Boozer and Davis?
I dont think the salaries would line up right, otherwise Id be worried that it might happen. I think the worst thing the Bulls need to do is get desperate. The city will support them and theres enough people affiliated with the Chi in other places to keep the money rolling in despite how bad they are. They lost one player... Thats it. That tells me if they bring in a legit scorer they can get back to being a contender in the east. This team has lost its confidence. They arent playing horrible but its clear they dont believe in themselves. Another note... They never should have traded Crawford, one of the worst moves they ever made.
Damn, I remember when the Knicks traded for Camby as a younger alternative to Charles Oakley... 35, I guess another generation is coming to a close...
The Bulls should have around $12-$15 million in cap space. If it's closer to $15 million depending on the salary cap they will have enough to give a player a max contract.
I know Chicago's dream is to get D-Wade but I think thats a long shot unless Pat Riley can't get a big man to help him in Miami.
If I were the Bulls I would go after Boozer right away and offer him 5 years $55-$60 million because every other team is gonna go after Chris Bosh.
I don't know if Amare will be willing to stay in Phoenix because Nash is gonna be 36 next year and Phoenix is also gonna have trouble making out the first round for the next couple years. Amare can go to the East and dominate but he may be a reach for Chicago.
Joe Johnson is also an option if they can't get a big man.
They can also trade Miller, Deng and Noah to Miami for Jermaine O'neal's expiring contract then they would have enough cap space to go after Bosh and the Heat will get a decent sf in Deng and a starting center in Noah and will still have enough cap space to offer Boozer $10-$12 million a year. The Heat could have a lineup of
sp Chalmers
sg Wade
sf Beasley
pf Boozer
c Noah
Bench
Deng
That might be enough to keep D-Wade in Miami.

I should have said Miller, Deng, Noah for Bosh & turk.
What??? The Bulls will be 20 mill under the cap next season. Why would they need to trade players away to make room? Plus why would you give up a promising Center and a potential all star just for a CHANCE to sign someone who may not sign with your team. If the Bulls took that risk and not be able to sign Bosh (who is now considering staying in Toronto) you would have a bunch of nobodies on the team next year. That would be insane to make that trade scenario. Plus you would make the Heat better instantly. NBA teams don't usually trade within the same conference to make other teams better.
Even if that trade went down with the Heat, with those players why would they sign Boozer???? Especially if you have Deng and Beasley. And lets say they do sign Boozer with your scenario. Why would Deng be coming off the bench when he is a better player than Beasley?
The way things are looking in Pheonix I think Amare will stick to the last year of his contract especially with Nash playing like a MVP. He will most likely wait until next summer when his contract is over to jump on the free agent market. I think Amare knows Nash makes him look great.
I can't see Joe Johnson going to the Bulls over the Hawks. The Hawks can give him more money plus they a much better team. That would be a backwards move for Joe Johnson. Joe didn't sign an extension because he wanted the Buzz Wade, James and Amare is getting. At the end of the day he will be a Hawk. He would be crazy to leave the Hawks.
Dude these moves you suggested would get you fired as a GM.
Like I said if I were the Heat, I would wait until the all star break and contact the Clippers and get Davis and Camby for O'neal's expiring contract. Davis and Wade gives you the BEST back court in the East or probably all of the NBA. Plus next season Wade would most likely resign with the Heat because he has a great PG (right now he is playing like the top 5 PGs in the league. Barron gives you one of the top 5 assist men in the NBA plus he relieves a lot of scoring pressure off of Wade. Whats great is my deal gives you 20 mill in cap space to sign Camby back next year and bring in Boozer (who will most likely love to come to Miami.
