Pape Sow, Matt Bonner, Joey Graham... three guys you could get. Maybe Joey is a rookie and Bonner is I believe popular.. but u could get Sow. After all, he's fro mSenegal and heaps of Senegalese people, I'm sure love their national heroes!
Pape Sow + Mo Pete sounds good to me!

did you just say Pape? 
I better stop this talk soon before Weaver catches a whiff of it and runs with it
I like Graham but I wanna see how he goes with Raptors....who would you suggest that I would give up for Mo and Pape....Patterson ($6.35mill) and Mo's ($4.55mill) salaries don't match up at all....Pape ($641k) doesn't bring him close....hmm...maybe I can make it a 6 player deal and take Aaron Williams ($3.38mill) and I'd throw in like Spider Smith ($771k) and Sergei Monia (approx $800k I think)....
that would bring the salaries within about 8% or so which is below the required 10% threshold....
I would be giving up Monia, a promising rookie swingman, to compensate the Raptors for giving up Mo Peterson....
after the season is up, Aaron Williams' salary comes off the books, and I got Pape and Mo for another season at pretty good salaries....
I don't know how the ratings work as far as whether the Raptors would go for it....who knows....maybe I would have to give up Ha instead of Spider....
will investigate the opportunities in the coming days....I hope Weaver doesn't wet his pants with the prospect of Pape coming to town
we seem to be a good trading team Sit....you throw a name or two out, I spin a couple more, work the salaries and cap consequences and any other technicality, and get it going on

SNEAK PEAK AT ALL-STAR GAME STARTERS
By 'The X'
NLSC Insider
Updated: Feb. 13, 2006, 10.28 PM ET --
All-Star starters were to be announced tomorrow morning at 11.00 AM ET, but yours truly has managed to get a hold of a fax. The aforementioned fax also contained the Rookie Game starters. I will naturally be quite happy to share those names with my faithful readers
----
2006 ALL-STAR STAR GAME STARTERS
The starting lineups for each respective team in the All-Star Game are as follows:
Eastern Conference All-Stars:
F- Chris Bosh (Toronto)
F- Paul Pierce (Boston)
C- Zydrunas Ilgauskas (Cleveland)

G- Stephon Marbury (New York)
Western Conference All-Stars:
F- Elton Brand (Los Angeles Clippers)
F- Tracy McGrady (Houston)
C- Yao Ming (Houston)
G- Kobe Bryant (Los Angeles Lakers)
G- Mike Bibby (Sacramento)
The starting lineups for each respective team in the Rookie Game are as follows:
Rookie Stars:
F- Andrew Bogut (Milwaukee)
F- Marvin Williams (Atlanta)
C- Andrew Bynum (Los Angeles Lakers)
G- Joey Graham (Toronto)
G- Deron Williams (Utah)
Sophomore Stars:
F- Al Jefferson (Boston)
F- Luol Deng (Chicago)
C- Nenad Krstic (New Jersey)
G- JR Smith (New Orleans-Oklahoma City)
G- Chris Duhon (Chicago)
Reserves for each game, as well as any All-Star Weekend participants will be released in the coming days.

Well, there you go folks. You've just seen a sneak peek of what All-Star Weekend in Houston might look like. Some quick notes.
For the East, Toronto's Chris Bosh and Atlanta's Joe Johnson make their 1st All-Star Game appearances. What's even more surprising is that each player selected has never been a starter in an All-Star Game before now. Lebron James, Dwayne Wade and Shaquille O'Neal must be scratching their heads on why they are not starting for the East, but truth be told, the guys in front of them have been having career years.
Moving West, it's great to see Sacramento's Mike Bibby finally make the All-Star grade. Looking at the makeup of the starting lineup, it's got a very California come Texas feel, with all 5 players playing in each of those States. You can't really fault the West's starting lineup with guys like Yao, Brand and Bibby having career years and joining perennial starters Bryant and McGrady.
Moving to the Rookie-Sophomore Game, the Rookie Stars have a strong starting lineup with the exception of Lakers' bigman Andrew Bynum. It would have been nice to see a Bogut-Frye combo at the C-PF spots, but I guess the coach's voting forms had both players listed as PF's.
The Sophomore Stars have a solid, if not unspectacular side that is led by the ever-exciting Chris Duhon and with Nenad Krstic inside. Should be fun (note the sarcasm). At least JR Smith is starting at SG, that's something I guess.
Speaking about the Sophomore Stars, I have good knowledge that the Portland Trailblazers' 2nd year starting PG Sebastian Telfair will be invited to play for them at All-Star Weekend. Rumours are still swirling on who will appear at the always popular Slam Dunk Contest, but one player that seems to be a shoe-in is Portland's rising star, swingman Travis Outlaw, who could have a few tricks up his sleeves. Perhaps something that involves touching the top of the backboard. Who knows, but if you want to track the latest news prior to and during the All-Star Weekend in Houston, make sure to check in with the NLSC Insider regularly.

Hey guys, I thought a few of you might enjoy reading a real life chat transcript from nba.com, featuring Blazers' youngster Travis Outlaw....follow the link to check it out....
http://www.nba.com/blazers/chat/travis_ ... 11006.html
I'm sure a few of you had already read it, but for those who hadn't and enjoy in-depth analysis, you won't get it off Mr. Outlaw
hmm....maybe I should deal the kid....I usually like having 'smarter guys' with more basketball IQ on my rosters....ahh well, he can stick for now....he can maybe touch the top of the backboard after all

Why does Yao always do worse in real life than in NBA Live. But even if he does do worse, he still gets to start.
Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:00 am
Nice to see Bosh and Joe Johnson in the East 
Wed Jan 18, 2006 2:41 am
haha nice stuff man. good lineups.

don't trade him

and I might take that offer up on his education....a new spin-off from X's Dynasty is 'Educating Travis Outlaw' Negative One wrote:Why does Yao always do worse in real life than in NBA Live. But even if he does do worse, he still gets to start.
can't answer it in anyway that will satisfy your disappointment

that it is....can't argue with the JJ selection as Hawks are 5th overall in the East thanks to his superb play....

glad someone liked and actually noticed 'The Glide' making a spot appearance

it's not surpising to me....there are no other rookie centres in the draft that I know of....unfortunately Mr. Bogut and Mr. Frye are listed as PF's

Then you should edit them back to C!
Just like in real life... I think!

Yea, do some dbf editing. LMAO at Bynum's stats. That's almost realistic.
Wed Jan 18, 2006 10:53 am
Portland SF R Artest + PF P Garrity + C/PF S Pollard
Orlando C T Ratliff + PG A Johnson + SF S Monya
Indiana PG S Francis + SF R Patterson
What you think of that trade?

lol, do u think Orlando would even review that trade?
Wed Jan 18, 2006 12:22 pm
probably not but its a posibility lol
The scenario could be that the Magic dont have any other choice and francis is a true team cancer!

nah, I'll avoid dbf editing where I can and I wouldn't do it just to have better looking Rookie Teams at ASW....
at present, for their teams, both Frye and Bogut are PF's....will check and clean up positions on rosters at start of next season in stances such as Magloire not re-signing with Bucks....Bogut would then become starting C....

yep, Bynum's numbers are just about right on

nah, wouldn't do that....1st of all the salaries don't match, nor are they close....2nd, I don't want Artest or any charity from real life dramas....3rd, it's unfair for the Magic as it favours the other teams....
Anthony15 wrote:lol, do u think Orlando would even review that trade?
nope, not a chance....especially taking on the big contract of Ratliff....maybe if it was a cap-cutting exercise, then yes....but they wouldn't....
Sit wrote:probably not but its a posibility lol

if deal included Przybilla, then it would be more likely, as he would be a great complement to Dwight Howard....in addition, Magic would have to get cap-cutting benefits....anything's possible in right circumstances....
jugs wrote:I'd be surprised if the salaries matched in that trade offer...
they don't....Magic would have to be about $7mill under the cap to get that deal to go through....
thanks for the comments & discussions guys

yeah, was wondering where you had got to....good to see you're still around though
as for the dynasty, yep, it's going well....I believe you are in '07 Draft....can't remember off the top of my head though....as for CB4, yep, he's playing just like he is IRL
good to see Joey make team also....although I'm with everyone in thinking that Bynum shouldn't be in team....
pop in now and then and say hey, and check out some of the other dynasties around the place if you have time
