[DanMTheMan]

Introduction

Hello everyone! I have returned from focusing on schooling & have decided to return to the...unloved portion of this here forum again. This time though, I’m going as a Bobcat...

Closing Thoughts

Only position we are "weak" in is PF....and overall, we have Yellow everywhere with only three Green/Blue players. Moves will need to be made soon though to secure some players for future seasons.

Thoughts: 13 games off from matching history! 8.5 games out of the division currently! GAH!!!! We need to push!!!!!</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:24px;">TRADES</span></p></div><p></p><p></p><p>

[PRE-Pre-Season]</p><p>

</p><ul><li>To Lakers: SG Stephen Jackson<br /></li><li>To Bobcats: PF Pau Gasol<br /></li></ul><p></p><p>

Thoughts: Before the season even began, Lakers offered me this trade. Gave me Gasol for 2 years longer than Jackson for less money.....so I accepted it since I am not thinking of Playoffs at this moment in time.</p><p> </p><p>

[12/01/2010]</p><p>

</p><ul><li>To Bulls: C DeSagana Diop, SG Gerald Henderson, 2011/12/13 2nd Round Picks, 2013 1st Round Pick<br /></li><li>To Bobcats: C Joakim Noah<br /></li></ul><p></p><p>

Thoughts: The trade for Pau Gasol put him in as our CENTER instead of Power Forward...adding Noah [and keeping him hopefully] will solidify the line.</p><p> </p><p>

</p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><span style="font-size:24px;">INJURY REPORT</span></p></div><p></p><p>

</p><ul><li>PG Shaun Livingston injured with Hyper Extended Knee [14 days] on 11/03/10<br /></li><li>PG D.J. Augustin injured with Broken Cheekbone [18 days] on 01/05/11<br /></li><li>SF Gerald Wallace injured with Sprained Ankle [25 days] on 02/02/11<br /></li><li>PG D.J. Augustin injured with Broken Foot [29 days] on 02/03/11<br /></li></ul><p></p><p>

Thoughts: Damn you D.J. Augustin!!!!!! And the injury bug from my other attempts has followed me yet again!!! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Cool to see a FBPB dynasty spring up, I hadn't seen one in a bit. I'll be curious to see how the Bobcats turn out. Always a fan of MJ's boys.

So, I really want to get into this game, but when I see those trades the AI made. Woof. If any of those deals happened in real life, Lakers and Bulls fan would've called for their GMs to be run out of town.
