Barely eeked out a win against Sly and The Rebuilders.

Someone wake me when the season is over.

Although, I will say, I'm liking my last few deals.
Each of Ray Allen (ranked 150 right now), Okafor (ranked 151), and Eric Gordon have slowed and come back down to earth.

RJ is top 50, Salmons is top 100, and all I need is for Collison to learn the Indy system better.

At the end of the day, Eric Gordon will be the best player out of those players, but I like the quality I got in the others long term.

I am happy with the deals I did not make. Let's see I was offered the previously mentioned Ray Allen for KG who is ranked 18th on the season. I offered Sloppy Moose David West for Brandon Roy at the beginning of the season. Thankfully, he never responded. They are performing similarly but Roy's knees scare me.

On a more upbeat note. If the trainers give the go ahead we should get Yao Ming back tonight. He should help with our lack of boards and blocks.

Need to trade big for small. Looking to get younger but want contributors for a short-term boost.

Are you (Please Use More Appropriate Word) or something? Where are you getting these rankings from. Allen and Gordon are both top 40 so far. Salmons is not top 100 at all.

The E Gordon is cooling thought is a bit strange too. He's #15 over the last two weeks.

Is Hippos still with us. I don't think he has set his lineup all season.

Okay -- I really need to get this team in order and competitive (probably not this season, but for the future) for once. I'm basically making everyone on my roster available. I'd like some youth in return. They don't necessarily have to be producing now.

Thanks

Roster:

Young guys I'd like to keep but are open to trading:

Jonny Flynn
Joakim Noah
Jrue Holiday
Roy Hibbert
Terrence Williams

Veterans that you top teams may want:

Lamar Odom
Richard Hamilton
Trevor Ariza

Others:

JJ Hickson
James Harden
Marco Belinelli
Jodie Meeks
Austin Daye
Paul George

Offer sent Skai.

In similar news, I need to get..um...older. I need vets who are producing now. Carl's 2012 1st rounder is on the market, as are some of my young guys like Darren Collison...

Nice win for me over Brian...a lone cheer for what's been a disappointing season.

And here I was hoping for an easy win this week. The Bobbie Gibson effect is taking it's toll. He's been driving my team, but the extra rest from an injury is hurting me...

In other news, Bobbie Gibson is on the market. He's a main fixture for the Cavs, and will be here on out, but I need the extra firepower now to make the push for the playoffs.

Send me some offers...I'm looking for vets who can produce. My draft picks are also available.

Manny is only on the roster because Boobie is injured.

So uhhh, why was the 8th pick in the draft sitting on the scrap heap waiting for me? 20-years-old with Jeff Green potential, unbelievable.

Just to prove my win over Brian was no fluke, I also beat the defending champion. Now if only Anthony Randolph would get traded.

I think I may have gotten SJax off the team just in time. Now if I had only done the same with Roy.

Because I am holding on the the #6 pick in the draft with Nene potential.

Though my Kobe trade was thoroughly awful, at least I probably had the best draft relative to draft position by getting Dorell Wright #14 and Luke Ridnour #25 in the rookie/FA draft. Not having Varejao will and Oden for the season just hurts though. Hopefully, I'll stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.

I have to admit, I thought that deal was horrible for me. I expected big things from Thornton AND Lawson this year. I don't remember who else I traded in that deal, but it seems to have turned out well enough for me. I still think Thornton and Lawson, long term, have some excellent value.
