Next big deal which shake up NBA? Maybe. After Carmelo asked Nuggets for a trade to New York or New Jersey, New Jersey involved Detroit. This trade will shake up NBA. Billups laughed about it ''Ah, again traded?''. After that he said ''Nets is a young good team, but if they keep Harris I think there will be a problems.''![]()

Have only 5 from 10 draftees.
Raptors fired Jay Triano
Sunday 28th November Toronto Raptors waived head coach Jay Triano. After Raptors started season 3-9, and when they traded Linas Kleiza, Reggie Evans and 1st round draft pick, Toronto don't won a game, now they are weakest team in NBA with 3-15 record. This moves was another stupid move made by (C)Raptors this season.
Toronto still have a chance to get 1st pick in draft as they have 1st round pick and 1st round pick from Nets. Maybe this draft will help Raptors be a play-off team, but all predicts that Raptors will waste their picks on busts, well we will see it.
Thunder back to top of West?
Can Thunder dominate in NBA in next decade?
After Supersonics drafted Kevin Durant traded Ray Allen and Glen Davis for Jeff Green, Delonte West and Wally Szczerbiak, it was another losing season, but with chances to change in next seasons, because Durant won ROY, Green had a solid season, Thunder rebuilded to a young team, in 2008 Draft they drafted UCLA star Russell Westbrook who had and have a big potential, and Thunder played first season in Oklahoma City, OK as a Thunder not Sonics.
First season on Oklahoma City wasn't successful. Thunder finished season with third worst record 23-59 in West. But Durant won a Rookie Challenge MVP award and Russell had a impressive rookie season. After that season Thunder got a third pick which they used to draft a James Harden from Arizona State.
Harden was first drafted player by Thunder, because Russell Westbrook was drafted by Sonics. They got youngster Serge Ibaka. Finally this season was successful, Kevin Durant was the youngest scoring champion in NBA history, Harden and Westbrook played in Rookie Challenge, Durant played in All-Star game and won a H.O.R.S.E. for second time. Durant made all-star team, rookie James Harden was in rookie-team. Thunder finished eight in West with 50-32 record which was 27 wins more than previous year, but Thunder played first round against last years NBA champions Los Angeles Lakers, Thunder lost first two games in L.A. but then win two in Oklahoma City, after they lost one in L.A. and then they lost game 6 in Oklahoma City where Gasol made a last second shot, then Lakers won Jazz and Suns and won NBA finals against Boston Celtics.
Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook played in USA team in world championship in Turkey, where they won a gold medal, Durant was named tournament MVP.
Next season Thunder started with acquiring of Elton Brand, Anthony Morrow, Linas Kleiza and Chris ''Birdman'' Andersen. After first 16 games Durant led league in points while Westbrook is third in assists per game. Thunder started season with 11-5. Thunder acquired 1st round pick from Raptors, which will be high, because Raptors started season with 3-15 which is worst record in NBA.
All-Star caliber center, young superstars, smart coach and high draft pick can make a Thunder one of greatest team in NBA?
Can Thunder win a finals?
When Durant will win his MVP?

NLSC contest #1
So this will be a first contest for NLSC'ers to get a points. After you post answers I save answers and you can edit only one time before the games three things per season, also you can decide in which draft class you will be, if you get a points and decide to be in next draft class (2012) you points will transfer to next season and you start next season with points which you had.
One guy with highest points will be a TOP 10 pick, another 4 will be 1st rounders, and another 5 will be 2nd rounders, if you dislike it, post here a suggestion.
First contest. As the first month is over, (I post last two games recaps later) then you will predict next month scoring leaders in my team.
