Trade Updates
Houston gets: C Brook Lopez, 2011 1st round pick
New Jersey gets: C Yao Ming
Yao(86 OVR), Lopez(80 OVR). Lopez is only 22 years old and looking really damn good but 86 OVR is in that secondary superstar range, Yao is 30 years old. The Nets have Devin Harris rated 88 OVR at PG and this gives them two star level players to try to compete with. Interesting.
Indiana gets: Luis Scola
New Jersey gets: Kyle Lowry
Scola is 30 years old, Lowry 24, but their contracts are the same, Lowry starts for Indiana, Scola starts for New Jersey, and neither are anywhere close to the starting lineup on their new teams. Just dumb. I reverse this one.
Washington gets: Rashad McCants
Indiana gets: Andray Blatche
Both are lower rated non-starters, so whatever.
Dec 16 - Memphis(10-13) at Charlotte(12-11)
Another really close one, but we come up short here. Felton 18, Diaw 16, Allen 14. Randolph 26, Mayo 24 for Memphis. Mayo is rated 84 OVR and is becoming a star it appears.
Memphis 96
Charlotte 94
I'll be playing out my next game against Utah.
