That's an uncharacteristic loss to the Pistons. The next three games are more like it. ;)

It was a very poor game for Westbrook. Only 4 points and 3 assists. Although he did struggle with foul trouble.

Is Deron's brilliant master-class of 20 turnovers a record by any chance? :mrgreen:

Pretty close race at the top of each conference. Hard luck against the Spurs, looks like a tough night for Westbrook. Solid wins over the Rockets and Timberwolves though.

Had to send in the starters to make sure of the win.

Fourth. He's also had 25 double-doubles.

Something tells me he'll be getting a new contract at the end of the season. :P

I should think so. Since you've made some moves to try and make a run at some free agents though, do you have anyone in particular in mind?

Re: OKC - [44-16] - Both LA teams in town

Postby Phil89 on Thu Dec 23, 2010 8:51 pm

I checked the list of expiring contracts and these are some of the ones that interest me:

Tony Parker, Yao Ming, Aaron Brooks, Joakim Noah, Marc Gasol, Al Horford, JR Smith, Rodney Stuckey, Michael Conley, Marcus Thornton
Mario Chalmers, Tyson Chandler, Delonte West, Arron Afflalo, DeAndre Jordan, Kendrick Perkins, Corey Brewer, Greg Oden, Thaddeus Young
Jared Dudley, Luc Mbah a Moute, Sebastian Telfair, Wilson Chandler, Nick Young, Marco Belinelli, Glen Davis, Ronnie Price, Brandan Wright.

I'm aiming to secure a youngish big man. Also, I might try and grab a decent backup point guard.

Just hypothetically, can you sign a free agent and then immediately trade him to another team?
(I know it's possible in the game, I just mean could it happen in real life or is it kinda harsh? :wink:)

In real life, teams can only do it when re-signing their own free agents.

So if none of my preferred targets are available, it would be unrealistic to sign someone else and trade them for a player in the preferred position?
e.g. Sign a highly rated Shooting Guard and then trade for a Center.

Guess I'll just have to hope it doesn't come to plan B. :wink:

Correct, it wouldn't happen in real life. But for the purpose of the story, you could do it and say that those players were involved in a sign-and-trade deal that included multiple teams. ;)
