Review of the NBA Trade Deadline

[RaychelSnr]

The NBA Trade deadline was frenzied, it was furious, and most of all it was interesting with big name players switching teams on several occasions. With several teams in the playoff hunt having changed their fortunes dramatically, we are bringing in Dustin Toms and TD St. Matthew-Daniel to break down what the moves mean and how they might change your gameplay experience in NBA 2K11.

Sigh.

Can we get something more then this? How lackluster.

[Jay F Kennedy]

I say the Knicks got the better deal.. short term and long term. D.Williams isn't guaranteed to resign in NJ/Brooklyn. And the most interesting lineup for me would have to be Boston (with Troy Murphy now).

I did a game by game sim of a 29 game season last night (controlled all 30 teams and simmed each game individually)... the Knicks actually fared worse than they were before. Not sure how that happened exactly but I found that interesting. They ended up ranked #12 in the Eastern Conference.

A little off topic, but still interesting.

The Melo deal was a steal. They traded three players who will never appear in an All Star game for one for a finals MVP and a top 7 player in the league. I found it laughable when people were saying they gave up to much. Their is a Wilson Chandler on every teams bench right now. Gallinari is one of the main reasons the Knicks were terrible on defense. Felton shoots 33% from 3 while Billups shoots 44%.

That trade was worst than the Barkley trade that sent him to Phoenix.

Dustin, one of the people who wrote this article, said the same thing basically I believe. That, essentially, the Nuggets became way better and the Knicks didn't do as well.

I hate that my Knicks had to get rid of Gallo, I really feel like he's gonna be a star if he stays healthy. But on the flipside the leadership that Billups brings is gonna help a ton, and once Melo and Stat learn to feed off eachother they are gonna be a MAJOR problem for anybody. The way they played the other night against the heat brought back some fond memories of that rivalry. If they make some smart moves in the off season, I will finally be able to say I'm a Knicks fan with some pride again lol.

have to disagree with this guy, Knicks got the better player and i would build around melo instead, more talented and way better player overall.... this guy must not be watching the nba, because by no means is d-will arguably the best pg in the league ( a couple of years ago, maybe, but now, no way), lets say D-rose, cp3, and rondo, IMO

Cant forget about Westbrook too in OKC, dude is a beast.

I forgot, and westbrook, guy been killing, can't say same about Williams though this year

[MavsFansForLife41]

Terrible write-up...Absolutely no reasoning behind common knowledge and general info.

Anyways...best new team in 2k11 is the Nuggets. You can't stop Lawson, Smith, iLLWiLL, Gallinari, and Nene.

[Yeah...THAT Guy]

If Gallo was one of the reasons they were so bad defensively, man are they in for a rude awakening when they go through a full season with Carmelo in his place...

And in regards to one of the other posts (not by you), whoever thinks Rondo is seriously better than DWill is on something mega strong. Top PG in the league is really a 2 or 3 PG battle between CP3, DWill, and Rose, and that's really it. Westbrook and Rondo are in the next tier of PGs with Steve Nash and probably someone else that I'm forgetting.

The worst trade at trade deadline was the Blazers / Bobcats giving up 3 bigs and money for 1 slasher. They (Blazers) have one big left that is active, and he's even alittle banged up.
Blazers get:
• F Gerald Wallace

Bobcats get:
• F Dante Cunningham
• C Joel Przybilla
• C Sean Marks
• 2011 first-round pick (from Hornets) and 2013 first-round pick
• Cash considerations
• Official release
What are the Blazers front office thinking? Do they think LaMarcus Aldridge is going to lead them to the playoffs? If you play with them in 2k11, you would know that they are set with a bunch of dunkers and athletic slashers. They fell way short of things on their 'to do list'. They have one big man to combat the rest of the western conference; and opt injured Camby is not the saviour in any sense. I just watched one of my favroite teams trade themselves out of the playoffs!

Actually imo, Cunningham was their biggest loss (which isn't much)., with the picks and Przybilla a close second. Aldridge may not be the lead player they need but an addition to their defense is more than welcome. I agree they are now short of bigs, but Marks is trash and their bet on there existing bigs getting healthy is more of a winner than if they kept the above.

As for 2K11, I traded for G. Wallace in my Blazers assoc at the end of December, I lol'd when this happened. When i'm controlling the game, offensively he sucks (probably me), but defensively he's a beast, lol
