Heres the movers

Russell Westbrook - Dallas 4yr/78.89mil

Dwight Howard - Brooklyn 3yr/68.34mil

Andrew Bynum - Boston 3yr 19.24mil

Gordon Harward - Milwaukee 3yr/20.44mil

That's really going to shuffle some things around with this upcoming season. Which will be released rather slowly. I want to play some games, and i'm also working with Dreece & Sapp on their Draft Classes. But stay tuned things will still be updated.

Ouch Man. I feel your pain. Like your coach said just a setback you will be there again next year. Nice move on the draft day trade and got you another good PF in Powers. That FA list was some craziness. Lots of moving for stars. So does this mean that the Thunder now have neither Durant or Westbrook? Wow.

# 2 BlindSideNZ @ Feb 9

Oh man I didn't even think Powers would be there. But Amir was set to make $7mil and I just wasn't getting the 7million Dillard's worth of production. I'm hoping by bringing Powers in that I can keep that 4 spot young and athletic for a new game plan called pick and slam haha!

But yes the thunder are without their tandem. They've got love now and that's about it. So I seriously have no idea what to expect from the league this season

# 3 darkwolf80 @ Feb 9

Yeah I'm starting to run the pick and roll much more often with Irving and Holden. If Holden gets a free lane he likes to pick and slam!!

# 4 CWSapp757 @ Feb 9

Ughhh, broken back!? That sucks man. The playoffs may have ended in a disappointment but I'm actually shocked to see Ment Powers still there for you in the lottery. I think a case could be made for him as a top three pick no matter which version you used so that's a good look man.

# 5 BlindSideNZ @ Feb 9

I know right! My jaw dropped when I saw him. It wasn't even a hesitation. Him and Holden on a rotation is gonna be lethal! We got real unlucky with all those injuries and I just simmed it out in the end. I got too annoyed to play but I feel great about this season. My biggest problem is how much will potentially have to be give up to get a look at a Blackshear draft pick whenever he turns up. It has to be done!
