A Work in Progress - A Charlotte Bobcats Franchise

[Big C-Dub]

Sick association man! I like the play of the game videos, that's a really nice touch.

Bucks Move RJ To Spurs

This morning the Bucks and Spurs completed a trade sending 3 expiring Contracts in Kurt Thomas, Bruce Bowen, and F.Oberto to the Bucks in exchange for Bucks Forward Richard Jefferson. The Bucks now get to move young Forward Joe Alexander into the lineup. Rumor has it the Bucks are also shopping Guard Michael Redd. On the Spurs side they have started off 3-1 to the Season and are hoping to get even better with Jefferson now on the team.

Lupe your welcome for the advice to get Marion over Artest/Odom.

 

[Lupe]

Damn! How do you score with Marion, he sucks for me.

He's a beast. Easy to drive with and he can knock down a open 3 anytime. His Mid-Range jumper and fadeaway sucks tho. He's a great driver and amazing on D. I thought he would get killed as a PF but I murdered the spurs. I just put Marion on parker, DJ on manu, demar on RJ, and emeka and outlaw held down the paint nicely.

Trying to make the weekly update as small as I can. Some trades went down too so I'll post about them right now.

 

[Lupe]

Team making moves - A list and Summary of each trade that has gone down over the past week!

Bobcats, Nets, and Blazers complete 3 Team Deal

Bobcats Gget: Nicolas batum - Nets 2nd Round Pick (This year)
Nets Get: Bobcats 2nd Round Pick (This Year) - Blazers 2nd Round Pick (This Year)
Blazers Get: Ernesto Balestrieri (Rookie)

Charlotte gets a good young player in Batum while Portland also gets a good young player from New Jersey. The Nets clear some Roster space to possibly sign a player in Free Agency.

Shaq heading to the Cavs

The Cavs and Suns completed a trade this morning with the Cavs aquiring Center Shaquille O'Neal and Phoenix getting Sasha Pavlovic and the Expiring Contract of Ben Wallace in return. The Suns and Cavs have not started the Season well and now with Amare Stoudemire trade rumors going around the Suns could be looking to rebuild. And with Lebron in the last year of his Contract the Cavs are looking to win now after losing to Miami last season in the 1st Round. Expect the Cavs to rise in the east after this move.

Hawks get younger, Trade Bibby to NY

Many thought the Knicks were getting ready for 2010 when Possibly Lebron will be a free agent but with the trade for Mike Bibby many thought wrong. New York moved out Nate Robinson to Atlanta in exchange for Mike Bibby. Bibby who is signed through 2012 and Andre Miller who New York also signed is signed until 2011. The team has 4 Point Guards now in Luke Ridnour, Chris Duhon, Andre Miller, and Now Mike Bibby. Many wonder if this is all a plan to get Lebron in New York with them getting him some help with Bibby or Miller and possibly moving one of them in 2010. But still at this Point in time was this trade really needed now? On Atlanta's side they got a steal in Nate and The Hawks are looking deadly now with Nate Robinson, Joe Johnson, Raja Bell, Mo Evans, Marvin Williams, Lamar Odom, Boris Diaw, Josh Smith, and Al Horford. The team is now loaded and is looking like major contenders.

Claxton :jonesy:

 

[Lupe]

Marion is god. Claxton is not bad.

 

[Lupe]

nice win your destroying with marion

I know. He's so good. I don't even have to throw up 15+ shots with him to get 30. He only took 13 against boston. It's amazing how good he is. Outlaw needs to bust out of this slump tho.

 

[mfbmike]

Been following lupe. Looks like you are having a lot of fun with your new look squad. Nice record too compared to last season. lol.
