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

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.

Felton shoots 33% from 3 while Billups shoots 44%. That trade was worst than the Barkley trade that sent him to Phoenix.

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

Carmelos bringing a Championship Home to MSG like he did for My Home town team... Get that ring Carmelo, You will have a gold medal, National championship and NBA ring, and become a modern day god in NYC, The whole State of New York for that matter, Let these people talk about whos top ten, and better then you, then go sign a new deal with MJ and chill with him Because You guys are in a part of a Group that Kobe, Lebron, Wade, Arent in... haters

I still don't quite know how I feel about the Knicks/Nuggets trade. The Knicks did get better instantly, but who knows how good Gallo, Chandler, and Felton are going to be. I think getting Billups is very important. He can spread the floor and he will get the ball to Stoudemire and Carmelo better than Felton. I just wish this trade would have happened earlier so we could see this team's full potential before the season is over. I hope they get the chemistry down by playoff time so that they can make a good run and not get eliminated early.

As a Bucks fan, I was upset that nothing was done to improve the roster, but what could be done? Man they suck.
