Season AIM
I thought this would be a nice idea. My aim in this dynasty is to build around Yao and Mr. Franchise. All of the rest will be delt for expiring contracts. I will try to pick up some draft picks early in the season although aquairing expirings will be goal number 1.

Progress
I will be playing the first game tomorrow. Im running out of time and I gotta ref a tournament tonight.

Progress
As I wanted to clear up cap room, I first delt star shooter and starting guard Cuttino Mobley, along with jailbird Eddie Friffin to Memphis in return for Bonzi Wells. I only threw in Griffin because of cap reasons and because in real life, he isnt on the Rockets Roster. Basically it was Bonzi for the Cat. BTW, Eddie Griffin's photo was "Unavailable"

Inside Stuff - Season Opener

Title Up For Grabs
With scoring sensation Bonzi Wells now calling Houston his home, the Rockets look like title contenders. Although the Lakers now have 4 future hall of famers, Houston General Manager James23WCR now beleives they have a real shot. "With Yao in the middle, Stevie directing traffic and Bonzi left to roam, I really do see us taking it this year" he said at a press confrence held yesterday.

dude u should raise the quarter's up. c'mon please, i think it would be a good dynasty with higher playing minutes!!!!

This could be a really good franchise, hope you keep doin it... the season aim thing was cool btw

I made a trade before the opening game which sent away starting small forward Jim Jackson to Cleveland for Eric Williams. Again, another strategic move to get me an expiring.

Houston’s Steve Francis and New Jersey’s Jason Kidd

A close match up until the end there. It was neck and neck almost the whole game. Yao came up big missing a double double by only 2 points. Bonzi was solid and ran the lanes well.[/img]

Another game day trade which sent Kelvin Cato and Mo Taylors fat contracts to the Memphis Grizzlies for young Stud Stromile Swift and Wesley Person, both contracts which run out at the end of the year.

Houston's Yao Ming Dunks on Brian Grant

This was very close. Another game which I blew out in the last quarter. Yao got his first double double for the year.

Does anyone have any Suggestions in what else I should do to my side? Who should i get, wh should i keep?

Should I deal Francis and what for if so? The only player who is untradeable is Yao. He is such a dominent player.

Here is what the big picture looks like from my trading perspective.

Houston Recieve

Yeah im liking this Dynasty, would be nicer if you played full quarters or longer ones at least,

I think you should maybe Trade Stevie for someone like Wade, then you would get a nice fresh young guard.

Maybe you could look to the teams that are under the cap, and try a trade with them.

Goodluck, im enjoying reading it.

BTW maybe you should move the difficulty up, so far you are winning easy

Thanks. I really do appreciate you reading my dynasty and your feedback is always welcome!

About Francis: I may deal him for a Wade like player. Im thinking to get a younger player plus a first rounder? Anyway, I'll look into it.

About Playing Time: School holiday's officially ends in 4 hours so I think keeping it at 3 minute quraters is only nessasary due to time restraints.

Difficult: Now that you say, yes, I will raise the difficulty setting up next time I play.

BTW, what do you guys think of my trades so far? I have aquired some youth and expirings and delt hefty contracts.

Game4: Houston Rockets 39 @ Phoenix Suns 34

J. Johnson: 6 points, 5 rebounds, 2 assists


Bonzi Wells goes up hard against the Phoenix Suns

Well. Im relieved that I won this one. I raised the level of difficulty to 4 stars and what a game it was. I was down by 11 at ahlf time. At the beginning of the 3rd, Marion went down with an injured knee and I went from there. Yao was swatten shots like there was no tomorrow and Eric Williams came up big after being benched earlier in the game. [/b]

Another strategic trade which cleared off dead skin.

All Comments are apprecitated!

Wow, Mike Wilks for Al Harrington, you can call it a steal

Is Bonzi Wells satisfying ? I signed him in my Dynasty but immediately traded him for Jamal Crawford, to get some cap room. Should I regret this move ?

well, he can definetly hit an open jumper and can nail the fade away. he is always scoring around the 8ppg mark so yeah, i wouldnt have delt him. he's the only player in free agency i actually want to get back

Yao Ming grabs down a rebound

Francis played great dishing out 8 assists. I switched the team around at half time to Francis, Piatwokowski, Person, Ameachi and Ming and it worked fine.

Two more trades were made. I am shuffling the team about but its getting rid of dead space.
