	If you could run your favorite NBA team what would you do? How would you run your organization? What moves would you make in terms of player evaluation, free agency, the draft etc? Who would be your head coach? Who would be your general manager? Also what is your favorite NBA team that you would be running? Asked By: Twist Of Fate - 9/7/2007

Good question. If I could be the owner of any NBA team, I would pick the Boston Celtics. Obviously after the recent trades, they're in a pretty good position to compete for a championship. Whether they win one or not remains to be seen. Assuming, that I am running the team for a span of one year (from Sept. 7, 2007 to September 7, 2008) here are the moves I would make both on and off the court: Player Evaluation and Signings: This off-season: The Celtics have a solid team this year, but I'd still sign one more player for a minimum deal lasting one year. I will not approve of the non-guaranteed contract of SG Jackie Manuel, so we'll have roster space. Instead, I will sign a cheap, hustle, big to make the team's front line stronger; a guy in the mold of Adonyal Foyle (too bad he's on Orlando already). This center would preferably be a veteran but I'd be fine with an undrafted center too. Maybe Ben Handlogten or Oliver Miller if he hasn't been signed yet. If nothing else, I'd just resign Michael Olowkandi for the minimum deal. He's a big man who could clog up the lane on defense and play spot minutes if he needed to. That's all I'm looking for. Next Off-Season: In the 08-09 off-season, I would resign House and Pollard. With the MLE (mid-level exception worth around 5.2-5.5 million: every team gets this), I would try to sign Shaun Livingston whose contract is running out next year. I'd give him the full MLE of 5.5 million, which is more than he makes now. He might get better offers but with his history of being injury prone, I might get lucky. I'd also resign the players whose contracts expired on my team such as Tony Allen. If I couldn't sign Livingston, I'd spend half of the MLE, which is 2.25 million, on two players. I'd look for a passing, defensive point guard who can knock down the shot/ or an offensive oriented big. Draft: In the 2008 draft, assuming Boston gets a low pick, I'd draft either a scoring guard like Boston Collge's Tyrese Rice or a PF-C like Jeff Pendergraph who currently plays at Arizona State. Both of these guys are projected to go in the late-first round, which is where the Celtics would probably be picking (most likely anywhere from pick 20-30). If Minnesota or Seattle received the first round picks in the Allen and KG deals, then I guess I'd sign an undrafted swingman instead, and see how he does in training camp. Head Coach: I'd keep the same coaching staff for this season to give Doc Rivers a chance. Then next year in 08-09, first off, I'd try to convince Tom Thibodeau, one of the best defensive assistant coaches in the league, to resign with the Celtics for one more year. If Doc did not perform up to expectations, I'd fire him. Ideally, my favorite coach for the Celts would then be Phil Jackson, but he'd probably still be working for the Lakers or retired. He would have been good because he has proven he can win with stars on his team and handle all their egos successfully. Assuming that he wouldn't be available, I'd make a run at Rick Carlisle, a former member of the 80's Celtics and one of the best defensive coaches currently in the league. General Manager: Ainge has done a great job getting in the talent, so I'd keep him because I don't think anyone else whose available would be any better. But if I could pick anyone in the league to be the GM of the Celts, I'd take Bryan Colangelo. He assembled a great team in Phoenix and is now assembling a very good team with the Toronto Raptors. He's widely regarded as one of the best GM's in the league and I'm sure he'd do a great job with the Celtics. Trades: The Celtics have very little to offer other teams outside of their Big Three. However, I could see them pulling of some minor deals for a big man or a point guard. It's unlikely, but you never know. I would try to trade Brian Scalabrine and cash considerations for Juwan Howard. I know he's pretty washed up but the Timberwolves are looking to trade him, and he'd be a solid second string backup power forward behind Garnett and sharing minutes with Leon Powe. Marketing: I'd run my organization as a business. Firstly, I'd get the best available marketing people, and have them really build up the team. With all the excitement that was raised after the Celts got Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, this shouldn't be all that hard. I'd raise ticket prices, but still keep the cheap priced seats around so that the games are accessible to most average people. I'd create stands all around the TD Banknorth Garden that sell Celtics wear: hats, shirts, shoes, jerseys, headbands, wristbands, bobble heads, everything. These stands will sell all these items for a lower cost then places like the NBA Store. I'll have coupons printed out and given to local restaurants. These coupons will get you a certain percentage off on all Celtics Attire. Edit: To Mark Lawrence: Webber is demanding more than the MLE. And there is no way Utah would trade their young star point guard and ace defensive wing for three aging players, none of them as good as Williams. That would make no sense for them...

My favorite team is the Blazers and at the moment I wouldn't make any changes, but when next year starts I would sell away a few of our draft picks because we don't really need anymore young talent. I would probably trade the picks for either a veteran SF or trade the picks for draft picks way into the future just in case our young talent doesn't work out. Answered By: dotherockaway22 - 9/7/2007

I would control the Blazers. But I really have nothing to say about how there doing at this point. But a few years ago there were ALOT of things that i could have said or done to make the team better. But now i really can't say anything becuase they are doing so good and stuff like that. But if i had to take controll of a bad team i would have to start rebuilding the Knicks. First of all get rid of Thomas!!!. He has NO!!! idea what the hell he is doing. Second get rid of there HUGE salary level (although that could take years to do). And for gods sake they should not have of picked up Randolph. Why do you think we got rid of him for so little? Becuase he is a punk and he will bring the whole team down with him. Answered By: NBA BLAZER #7 - 9/7/2007

My favorite NBA team is the Seattle Supersonics so I would have a lot of work. It would depend if I was the owner or the General Manager. If I was the owner as of today I would eliminate any question that the team was moving to Oklahoma City, Kansas City, etc. I would start re-negotiating the arena's lease with the city so that it is favorable to both parties. I also wouldn't use the double talk that doesn't really say anything that many sports officials use. If I was the General Manager any new players would get 1 year contracts. Any player with an existing long-term contract would be grandfathered in. Players would be paid based on their actual performance on the court. I would draft players out of college who have played 4 years and have their degrees. They would get 4 year contracts. I would draft players based on what they actually did on the court regardless of how their teams did. For example, if among all of our statistics we ranked lowest in rebounding we would draft the senior player who was the best in rebounding. Coaches would be retained for the rest of their current contract and evaluated on an annual basis. Any new coaches would get a 2 year contract. If they don't have a winning record by the end of the 2nd season they would be fired. I would hire coaches who have an overall history of winning. Answered By: schaidog - 9/7/2007

Lakers are my favorite team! First I would fire Mitch Cupcake and bring in Magic Johnson as the GM Then what I would do is trade Odom and Bynum (and a 1st round pick) and bring in Pau Gasol Gasol fits Phil Jackson's triangle very well. He's an above average post up player, he's got a good mid range game and he's one of the best passers from the Center Spot Then I would play Brian Cook even more! He deserves the playing time, he's a very good shooter. I would start a lineup of PG Fisher SG Kobe SF Walton PF Gasol C Mihm and make Kwame and Cook come of the bench to have a stndard 4 man PF/C rotation going and make Farmar and Crittenton the primary guys of the bench from the guard spot Answered By: Prashant - 9/7/2007

My favorite team: dallas mavericks i would run the organization probably not much more different than how mark cuban is running it with that kind of money. only difference is i wouldnt really want to be as big as a loudmouth as he is; although that does make for good interviews. team: as far as the players are concerned id have to say that almost everyone is liable to be traded except for nowtizki, devin harris, j-5. diop i would use as trade bait because i recognize the short supply and high demand of big men in the league so i would be reluctant to trade him. devin harris would be benched until he could fully develop his potential. in the meanwhile i would try to acquire a proven pass-first veteran pg. i could see a trade with utah that would bring the under-utilized kirilenko and the star-on-the-rise deron williams for stackhouse dampier and jason terry. from free agency i would sign chris webber and allan houston for the veteran minimums. not only could they help as decent basketball players, but these two would also generate ticket sales as the amount of star power is at all time high. more ticket sales means a larger some of money to spend on the franchise. more money to spend on the franchise means higher attraction from the audience and fans. more fans ultimately leads to more money for me...the owner. also houston and webber, along with jones and george, would take away a huge amount of pressure from nowitzki as leader of the team. for the short term, my starting five would be: MINE /CURRENT PG deron williams /jason terry SG josh howard /eddie jones SF andrei kirilenko /josh howard PF dirk nowitzki /dirk nowitzki C desegana diop /erick dampier my key bench players would include: MINE /CURRENT PG devin harris /devin harris SG allan houston /devean george SG greg buckner /greg buckner SF eddie jones /jerry stackhouse SF devean george /nick fazekas PF nick fazekas /brandon bass C chris webber /desegana diop i realize that my team would be missing a true backup center, but in this age of the nba, centers generally arent really the player positions that cause all the troubles. sure i would try to scout for one, but cap spsce could only hold so much and my ideal team is being run on 'poetry in motion' or nonstop finesse play. a dominanting hard hitting center doesnt really fill into that void. besides i have 3 7 footers (nowitzki diop and fazekas) that could rotate in that league-lacking position. also one has to realize this is what i believe the most i could do in this one, upcoming season no doubt my roster will beef up as the years go by. draft: i dont really like excelling a team with rookies, im more interested in multi-year player unless of course there is a phenom lurking in the draft. head coach: i would keep avery johnson. 133wins/182games (regular season) in a 2 and a quarter year span is a pretty good reason to keep a coach. general manager: the gm i would hire to recreate my vision of the mavericks would be bryan colangelo. i truly admire whats hes done with the suns and raptors. EDIT TO CELTICPRIDE & BILLY LITTLE: my friend, as evidenced by our own, worldy surroundings, anything can happen. as far as this trade, it could very well happen with the right incentives involved and the right sweet-talking. you would probably have been one of those people that thought shaq would never be traded from the lakers or wilt would never get traded from the sixers after a 100 point game. my friend, you were the type of person that was wrong on both occaasions due to your lack of optimism. i think it would make sense for the jazz as well as although they would be giving up a future star in deron, they would also be giving up kirilenko who they know they dont utilize fully. as it is kirilenko stated last season that he was growing frustrated with his use; hence the jazz were looking to trade him. i understand that kirilenko is one the greatest defenders in the league, but it really doesnt matter how a league or fans look at him, its how the team could use him. since boozer's ressurection kirilenko has been more or less useless for the jazz. they could find someone just as good at what kirilenko DOES FOR THE JAZZ for much cheaper. once again kirilenko is capable of so much more, its just he doesnt work well with the jazz. a move to another team would be great for both parties. a young team like the jazz could use solid veterans in terry stackhouse and dampier. this would infact round out a startin five and add a solid bench player to their team...more or less additional trade bait. like i said before if the right incentives are in place anything can happen. as far as chris webber is concerned, if that is the case, and he is unwilling to negotiate for the mLe, than obviously i would not be able to sign him and i would have to stick with one of my own in brandon bass. and besides what makes your trades so much more likely to be accepted than mine. unless your a real gm, you cant tell me nothing. if not than your just like me. someone who just thinks about what if.

Phoenix really don't need that much of work... after that the lineup will look like this: Pg: Nash Sg: Hill Sf: Marion Pf: Smith C: Stat If I can still do some work.... I'll try to trade Marion (since he wants to be the superstar of the team) and a draft pick for Kobe (since he wants a championship team).. If that happens...

	How do I get a job with Dodgy work history and no experience? Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now?
