Offseason Review 2010-2

-West-

Gold - B-
They had 2 draft picks this year. Peletierre will be a good fit with the team, but signing Lenore and cutting David wasn't too smart, maybe a PR move. Desmond has the burden of leading this team, of a sudden, as Nathan continues to look like his best year(s) are behind him. They should be able to benefit from a not as strong conference.

Diamonds - C
The Diamonds let it fall apart. They should have found a way to keep Bruce but they could not. Haroon is his insufficient replacement. Along with Mussman as Sandro's replacement. If they could have kept things together, they would probably be #1 right now. They should still be in the mix however, with Miller emerging and Sean doing his thing.

Silverbacks - B-
All the Silverbacks needed to get was a supporting cast for Kenneth. What they have now is barely that. I guess this resembles their previous no support teams, I guess they want Kenneth to get about 9 straight All-Star nods.

Pharoahs - B
Lyons isn't panning out like once thought. The Matt trade seems to be a bad idea for now as he is a 3, but it could turn around. The Centers turned Wings both improved to 2's however. This team might win some serious gamage this year.

-South-

Skylarks - B
What can you say? This team pretty much had no control about its falling apart over the offseason. But they do make a good move in getting Maurice to replace a legend at center for someone who has a nice potential. Someone is going to need to stand up on this team QUICK, or they will start 0-5 again like last year.

Dragonfish - B
They do have 2 aces for the next couple years, but they are not young anymore. This team ahs gotten used to not doing much in the offseason. They might have been able to do a better job this offseason. They should still be very competitive this season though.

St.Cat's - B
The Dmitri trade will take time to see if it was worth it. The Cat's wanted a nice solid young star to kick these other young guys in the butt to make them work harder. Let's hope Ausonio performs like a Combine winner and gets Rook MVP, not like a #1 Draft pick and turns out to be a bust. The main concern is the no-power player issue.

Toros - A
Although they were note able to make a deal to keep Matt, they got a rebounding Thomas and $1million in cap space from the Pharoahs. The draft pick, Texas-native Rayquan, improved to a 3 and looks promising. Semere showed he is in fact a phenom instead of a fad as he guided his team to the preseason finals.

-North-

Empire - A
Finally with a draft pick, the Empire had a stellar offseason. 3 guys improved and none downgraded. they were able to sign Bruce and Lawrence who looks promising. Garcia seems to be remotivated also. Williame finally has the chance to lead his own team. Let's see if he can win his "Quad Crown".

Seadogs - B+
The Seadogs know how to have a good offseason. Maybe its just not signing your draft pick, kidding. Getting Moore was a steal from FA. Trusting the rest of their current roster was a nice decision and it may pan out. Its a tough division and this team is well prepared.

Margays - A
The Margays made some of the best moves before the season started. They traded for Dmitri and were able to lure Travis away from the Interceptors. They lost Spike, their core for many years, and imported a new one. Good show.

Dizzy Devils - B-
They were able to keep Alexi on board for a Championship run. They don't really look prepared for the future however, as they have not found the young fire most teams are trying to go for nowaday.But Russell will give them insurance for a couple years while they search.

-Midwest-

Interceptors - C+
Not much to be said other than they lost their shot at having the best squad in years when they let Travis slip away. This team lost Theo the exact same way and has a bad rep of "nobody retires from the Intercetors". They signed Dian who turned out to be okay, but nothing like Travis. It is a wide-open division, so they have a good shot still.

Gremlins - B
They tried to keep the spunky team as one unit returning 4 players. They thought Sven was going to be a great addition but he turned out to be a flaker. Casey improved, but Konsta declined to a 2. Donte will be a good leader for this team. They have already gelled as they won the Midwest in the preseason tourney.

Reapers - B+
Everybody was watching what this team was going to do as they had to TOTALLY rebuild. They did a pretty good job. Both rookies panned out well. Hopefully Joseph can handle having the enitre storied organization riding on his back of a sudden. Vladimir should do well now that he finally has a chance to show what hes got.

Scarlet Ember - B
They wanted to replace Khris with Nozar, but that didn't really pan out. They got a nice motivator in Jack, Hobbs is motivated to become the star of the team again. Andy should provide good support, but this team definitely needs to work on its youth talent.
