Charlotte Trade
Cleveland Gets: SF Derrick Brown (69 OVR)
Charlotte Gets: C Kurt Thomas (67 OVR)
Brown was super pissed off in Charlotte since I shoved him out of my rotation. Cleveland has 4 centers and Thomas is #3 on the list(Shaq/Ben Wallace get all the minutes there).
Thomas has a decent close range shot and can hit a mid-range jumper better than most bigs. He's not much of a threat to score in the post, his post defense is above average thoguh(75) and he's a quality rebounder(ORB 85, DRB 81). His defensive awareness is rated 65, just about average for centers. He's 38 years old, in the last year of his contract, making $486k. Just about perfect for my situation. I put him in my rotation getting 20 minutes/game immediately.
