Anyway, I started Chicago dynasty, with updated rosters, so far I'm 4-5, 2-4 on the road, 2-1 at home. I had a rough start against Florida teams, losing both, not by much, but still by enough. Then I got first win against Sacramento, but then came 2 devastating losses, against Milwaukee (without Redd and Bogut) by 20 and against Cavs by 45 (although there still was something to cheer about, Rose had an amazing dunk over Ben Wallace). Before going to road trip to visit Texas trio I won Indiana at home by about 10. The Texas trip turned out to be very succesful, although lost to Dallas by about 25 points, won Houston by 1 (Yao missed the buzzer) and blowed out the Spurs by 20. So far I'm little short of PO, currently ranked 9th.
Positive notes:
*Instead of shooting jump shots, Tyrus is getting to the rim (huge plus), although shooting % isn't that great
*Brad Miller has been the answer for the inside scoring for me, averages about 18 points
*I don't know if this should go for positive or negative, but I'll put it here, Ben Gordon has been streaky as usual, he started off the season quite awfully, if there would be +- points on the court stats noted, he would've been on minus side by big time, ruined many game endings, but has proven himself in the last 2 games, scored about 15 points in the last quarter against Houston, taking us back to the after being down by 11 before the last quarter and scored 6 3-pointers against the Spurs, without missing an attempt.
*Rose is 2nd in the league in assists and has been great
*Tim Thomas has turned out to be steal from the Hughes deal and is almost averaging double figured points off the bench
*Jerome James isn't injured, but he barely gets playing time
Negative notes:
*No rebounding, no blocking nor no stealing from us whatsoever, Luol Deng is leading us in the rebounding, about 7 and a half per game, we still really need to get better defense down low
*Although getting starting nod over Gordon, Salmons hasn't been that great. Has been shooting quite awfully, hasn't been starter material, but I'm still going to start him
*Overall shooting % is very poor, with some exceptions though
*Kirk is barely in the rotation, hasn't found a role in the team, I think I'll try to trade him in the offseason for expiring contract
*If we start going down, we go down big time, e.g. we were down by only 20 points before the last quarter against Cavs, but we quit and didn't even try to get back.
*Although Tyrus is starting, he hasn't been a very big scoring threat
*Like mentioned before, we are bad at defense, we have let our opponents average more than 110 points per game
Neutral/Random notes:
*Knicks is leading the East with 6-1 IIRC, it has turned out that Al Harrington is the answer for them
*Dirk has been absolutely amazing, before game against Memphis, he was averaging 40 points per game, including 50 against Phoenix (no Amar'e) and 40 against us, if I'm not mistaken, he averages over 10 rebounds as well
*Houston is struggling without T-Mac
*LeBron is only averaging about 19 points
*I think I'm not planning a trade until offseason, but will see

Why hasn't kirk hinrich been performing well for you? If you want to trade him, and maybe hunter if you have him for a power forward who can score insidel. Maybe make a hinrich hunter trade foor david west or a zack randolph. I can't think of any youynger inside scorers. I"m still trying to decide between miami, chicago like you did because of miller or new york, especially since that huge contract of stephon marbury is gone. I would do phoenix but shaq's huge conntract is there. I'll probably end up doing miami because i like to improve mario chalmers and have him become a great passer, the main passer instead of dwade, I like to see chalmers get it down low to jermaine oneal as well. Miami has like the perfect team, a young center and a veteran center, and other key players as well like jario moon.
