homicide1550,
wow interesting bench lineup
Beno Udrih is a stud IMO PG id work him in there and play Garcia at the 2 and Salmons at the 3 but ehhh its your dynasty

InGottiWeTrust, Beno isn't a stud IMO. He has the work ethic of a Dunleavy or Fatoine, but even when he does actually try, he isn't as good as any of the current second unit. Of course, that is just my opinion, but whatever.

You gotta get rid of Thomas and/or Reef though! Both are starter-quality players that have some trade value! You don't want it to be like Seattle's PG situation.

You are a couple roster adjustments away from title contention... keep it up man!

And don't forget to update your first post.

InGottiWeTrust, I still dont like the abilities of Udrih maybe if he improves I might give him some playing time.

Lamrock93, I am thinking of moving both of those guys, I will take care of that once the season starts. Thanks for the advice.

NBA Rumors: Monday, Oct. 30


The Charlotte Bobcats have reportedly been in talks with free agent center,
Michael Olowakandi. Olowakandi has averaged 8.3 points, 6.8 rebounds and
1.3 blocks in his NBA career. He is tall and can reach up and
change light bulbs with ease.

Nikoloz Tskitishvili has also been rumored to talking with the Wolves management
about a return to the NBA. It is not likely because of the crowded roster of
Minnesota full of forwards.

The Pistons might be looking to waive forward Amir Johnson. Johnson has yet to
play any game this season and has been a constant in the IR list.

The New Orleans Hornets might be looking for another man at the power
forward position. Right now their only natural 4 is David West, the rest are
all tweeners.

Sacramento, Nov. 3 - The up and coming Sonics edged out the Sacramento Kings
with a 103 - 96 win. Luke Ridnour played his best game of the season scoring

led by point guard Mike Bibby. The half ended 45-43 in favor of the home team.


Martin had a season-high 38 points in a losing effort

Seatlle pulled away 90-86 with just 2 minutes left on the game clock. Sacramento
never recovered and lost their second straight game.

“It was a great night for me”, Ridnour said. “I focused on making shots for
myself as I saw that Kevin (Durant) was having a hard time with Artests’s defense.
And also Damien (Wilkins) had a great offensive night to help us get the W.”

Rookie prospect, Kevin Durant was held to just 4 points because of Artest’s hounding
defense. While Kevin Martin of the Kings had a season-high of 38 points after a rough
night on their last game against the Hornets.

Utah Jazz 138 - Sacramento Kings 145 (2 OT)




Kings reigns over Utah in double OT



Bibby carried the Kings in their double OT win

Sacramento, Nov. 5 - The Kings defeated the Utah Jazz in a grueling
win in double OT. Sacramento had their chances at the end of regulation and the
first overtime to win it but they made sure they finish things in the 2nd OT. The final
score was 145-138.

Despite the high final score, the game started really sloppy as the first quarter
ended with a 21-15 score in favor of Utah. There were lots of turnovers and both
teams shot the ball poorly.

In the second, Utah led by 19 points, 37-19 before Sacramento made a run and
took the lead 48-47 at the half.


Mikki Moore sparked the Kings bench with 19 points

With Brad Miller in foul trouble, Mikki Moore got the chance and proved his worth to
the team, scoring all of his 19 points in the second half and OT.

After only scoring 12 points at the half, Deron Williams carried his team through
the rest of the game finishing with 38 points and 13 assists. Mehmet Okur and Carlos
Boozer were monsters on the board combining for 39 rebounds.

Sacramento was able to get the win when Mike Bibby took over in the second
overtime hitting 3 straight 3-pointers to increase the lead to 6.

“This is an emotional win for us”, Bibby said said. “This game showed the
true character of our team. It certainly is a big morale booster for us which we
shall carry on our next game at Los Angeles.”

The Kings will play the Clippers for their first road game of the season.

This is an intersting dynasty, kings used to be my favorite team.

I think there are a couple ways to make this better, I think in your recaps you shouldn't keep indenting the text, let the lines go all the way through. I know it makes your recaps look longer, but it looks worse too.
Related to that, try and go deeper in your recaps.

Finally in your photo gallery, put an even number of pictures there, either 2, 4, or 6 or w/e It looks weird if there is a blank spot.

Anyways good luck, and nice dynasty

star Kobe Bryant? Or someone else? Kobe has not been happy with his team and it shows in his
production. He is averaging only 18.9 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game.

Magic forward Milovan Rakovic from Serbia is reportedly being released by his team. He was
drafted 60th overall by Dallas.
