I'm still curious how you pulled off the

jason kapono and yi jilian and a first for Josh smith and a first lol.

But I just looked at I saw Smith's trade value...a little low if you ask me.

Season1 [as] Mavs (All-30 Teams) Association:

After going 11-0 at home through December 1st, I've now taken two straight losses at home. One vs Golden St, and now a loss to the upstart Nets.

Dallas got out to a 14 pt lead midway through the 1st half, but NJ came storming back late in the 2nd qtr to cut the Dallas lead to 7.

In the 3rd NJ took control early, and Travis Outlaw, Derrick Favors, and Brook Lopez had taken the lead back for the Nets within the first 3-minutes of the 2nd half.

Dallas would wind up playing catchup, and had an opportunity early in the 4th to tie the game, but Beaubois' shot missed and NJ converted an And1 that pushed the lead back up and gave them further momentum. Dallas again made another run, but late in the 4th w/ only two minutes left. Got the deficit from 7 to 3, but much of the offense -- aside from Dirk -- had gone cold and just couldn't sustain any scoring.

NJ over Dallas, stealing one at American Airlines ctr, 98-88.

TEAM STATs:
FG: NJ 44%; DAL 42%.
3's: NJ 7/12; DAL 8/22.
3%: NJ 58%; DAL 36%.
FTs: NJ 15/19; DAL 10/12.
TO's: NJ 10; DAL 16.
Blks: NJ 9; DAL 5.

Individual Stats:

Dirk: 24pts/10rebs/6asts/2stls/2blks/10-21 FG/34 min.
Roddy: 15pts/1ast 6-17 in 33 min (got the start at 2guard).
Butler: 12pts/6rebs/3asts/2stls/5-15 FG/ 31 min - been struggling as of late.
Barea: 10pts/7asts/4-6 FG/2-4 3pt/25 min; Kidd was in foul trouble.
JET: 10pts/3rebs/2asts/1stl/4-9 FG/2-5 3pt/16 min.
Kidd: 7pts/6asts/5 TOs/21 min.

Brook Lopez: 25pts/10reb/3asts/2stls/2blks/8-19 FG/38 min.
Outlaw: 16pts/5rebs/2asts/2stls/2blks/6-12 FG/ 4-5 3pt/34 min.
T.Williams: 15pts/1reb/2asts/2stls/1blk/6-13/20 min.
Murphy: 11pts/9rebs/18 min.

I haven't been getting to the line enough lately. I need to attack more, turning into too much of a jump shooting team...but that's really the makeup. Need to attack more with Caron and Roddy Buckets, and penetrate more with Kidd. Been relying on the 3 too much.

The next game after Deron Williams went off for 51 points, he nets 18 points and 21 assists against the 1-13 Hornets. Quite the close game, I ended up winning 100-94. Deron now holds the season records for points in a game and assists in a game. I got the Lakers next, they will be my toughest test of the season so far.

0-1 with the New York Knicks. Lost the first game 90-85 to the T'Wolves. Big loss, we need to come back in the next game and shoot the ball better (Fields and Gallo.) Timofey Mozgov is a crazy good rebounder though. He's 7'1 and jumps 10 feet in the air to grab boards haha. Third best player on the team right now.

never in my days seen almost an entire site filled with association lovers while shying away from head to head competition.

whats the point of the Bulls trading for Melo if they have to give up Boozer in the process??.. would have been better doing a trade that sent Deng and Gibson and a 1st rd pick to Denver for Melo n maybe Anthony Carter..

but we all know that Melo is going to the Knicks by the trade deadline.. or maybe the Nets steal him.. Iggy may end up in Houston or Chicago..

just my opinion..

They took him back to pad depth on the frontcourt after trading away Wallace, Maxiel, and Charlie V, and ALSO because Kwame has an expiring deal. Its not a move to build a team, but to build more cap relief for DET and not have to pay Stuckey like they're already paying Ben Gordon. To my knowledge Brown never left on bad terms in Detroit, and he's an expiring deal. Plus the record is 6-15 and the Southeast division in the east are teams all above .500%. So might as well fork over this season, and get minutes for Monroe to develop him.

I am a huge Pistons fan, and this deal would never happen. Kwame Brown is not welcome back in Detroit by any means. He did alright his first year in Detroit, but last year he was riding the pine and barely played in the second half of the season. Even if he has an expiring contract, the Pistons would not take him back. The biggest problem, however, is dealing Ben Wallace. He was considering retiring before last season, but decided to play for Detroit. Wanting to come back to Detroit was the only reason he didn't retire, so there is no way he would be dealt to another team. If the Pistons are going to make a deal, it will likely be to get rid of Hamilton and/or Prince.

Another thing -- seriously, name a real-life trade in which a team got rid of all three of its top big men? It doesn't happen.

If you like the trade, it's cool, it's your game. I'm just giving you constructive feedback on it.
