Sort of. I placed him on the Free Agents before I started my Dynasty and reduced his ratings to a more appropriate level. I then started my Dynasty game, traded Tim Thomas to Charlotte to clear cap room before the season began and signed Kemp as well as Wesley Person.
The disappointment continues...

Chicago (108) at Golden State (115)
Davis scores 41 as Warriors hand Bulls 5th straight defeat
[
Boxscore ]
In a battle of the backcourts, Baron Davis led his team to victory lighting Chicago up for 41 points including 16 in the fourth quarter. Chicago dropped its fifth straight game despite 28 points from second year standout Ben Gordon, who also collected 6 rebounds and 10 assists.
After a disappointing collapse against the Jazz two nights ago the Bulls seemed ready to finally end their bad fortunes, burning the Warriors for 37 first quarter points while allowing only 25. But once again the second quarter would be their downfall as the Warriors came roaring back behind Jason Richardson, who finished with 21 points.
Davis sparked a third quarter run scoring 11 points from all over the court as the Warriors began to pull away. Chicago managed to erase the deficit in the fourth quarter and trailed 105-104 at the two minute mark before Davis's hot shooting sealed the game for Golden State.
Coach's Diary
OK, maybe now it's time to panic. If only games were 12 minutes long. We just can't seem to get anything fluid going for the other 36 minutes and we're not going to win many games like that. We cut down on three pointers which I think helped, though we had to launch a few in the second half when the game started to slip away. I was much happier with the play of Ben and Kirk, though I wish their field goal percentage could have been a bit better.
The bench is a huge concern. That's when we start to lose it, when Ben and Kirk go out of the game. I've varied my rotations and tried to utilise our bench as effectively as possible but so far have had little success. It might be time for some more drastic changes.
Transactions
Chicago places G Eric Piatkowski and C/F Othella Harrington on the Inactive Roster and activates G Jannero Pargo and C Jake Voskuhl.
