Well its a tricky one really cos Phoenix have excellent depth throughout team except for Centers. Thing is though I'd always look to play Amare at center anyway so you could maybe look to get a Power Forward if you think Marion is too small to play there.
The second issue is that you could trade out the likes of Burke, Skito, maybe Kurt Thomas, Eddie House etc but you're only likely to get a good/avg PF. Or you could lose someone like Marion and be weaker at Small fwd so that you could get someone like Elton Brand, Dirk Nowitzki, Kevin Garnett etc. Any PF you get for Phoenix needs to be able to run and shoot, so if u get someone slow then it may not help you much.

kurt thomas is definately going cause he is useless n cant block shit, i dont have eddie house cause the rosters arent up to date, i play hunter at center n he got picked for the all star game n the all defensive team were all my 5 starters.

Oh ok well thats fair do's, I updated all the trades on my game so looking to get rid of KT is prob worth doing, I'd look to get Dwight Howard or Emeka Okafor too if u can swing, both awesome!

Whats happened to Defoefoe and all the others that were posting on here? See Miami are now 2-0 down and no team has ever come back from a 2-0 hole in the NBA finals, I reckon Miami will win 2 out of the next 3 they have at home and then Dallas will wrap up the series in 6 games back at their place.
They just seem to want it so much more than Miami, which is gutting for me cos if we could've just squeezed by Dallas I'm sure we'd have rolled over Miami with our speed, ah well next year.

Bloody Mavs, and their goodness, i wish Jason Terry would just jump off a cliff....*much grumbling*
What happened to you Shaq Daddy. We all know he's rubbish shooting freethrows, but never this bad. He needs to stop pump faking, and just go up strong first time, and try to make baskets, otherwise they're quite happy for him to go to the freethrow line, and miss them. They also need to stop silly turnovers. Bloody Jason Terry...

Totally agree about Shaq, that dude went and got himself all trim and properly into shape and he's not really producing that dramatic force for takin to the rim like you say. He's gettin double teamed sure and when he's layin it off to his teammates, they aren't steppin up either so someone's gonna have to soon.
His free-throws are shockin tho, he just can't seem to flick his wrist properly...i think its related to an old wrist injury apparently, i know i heard that somewhere

Big win for Miami last night! 42 big ones from D-Wade and huge 18-foot jump shot from the glove to effectively seal the win.
Gonna need to win the next 2 and it was lookin very bleak for the Heat at one point in that game. I personally still think that Dallas wins in 6 games :-(

Wade is playin hurt as well which makes it even more crazy! The kid is special!
I think Miami will win tonight but I have to be downbeat about it and assume that Dallas will win it in 6 games.
Damon Jones has barely played for the cavs whereas when he used to play for the heat he was used a lot more by Stan Van Gundy and was really good at coming on and shooting 3's, much like our own little legend Eddie House - I love that guy!

I heard last night that the Pacers are considering trading Jermaine O'Neal to Toronto for Charlie Villanueva and their number 1 pick in this years draft!
What do you make of that!??
Personally I think bad move all round, I wouldn't wanna go to Toronto, although I guess if u could incorporate Bosh and O'Neal together thats a mean front court, plus Mo Peterson is wicked! Pacers gettin a rough deal though cos the depth of the draft this year isn't meant to be all that!

Yeah, but Adam Morrison's in this years draft. So the Pacers could just pick him up at 1. He is, and will be very good...Meh, i'm not really bothered, it doesn't affect the West, hehe. If Vinsanity could survive in Toronto, then i'm sure JON can. :wink:

I'll be honest, I don't know much about this years draft prospects, well apart from a few. Rudy Gay and JJ Reddick (not sure if he's in draft this year though) as I did see some of March Madness on NASN. It'll be interesting to see how goes where and what trades come out as a result. We picked little Nate last year and used him to get big Kurt so if we could actually hold onto someone like Robinson this year i'd be chuffed - though I think we're gonna go big if we can find someone.
Can't believe Miami have managed to drag it back and go ahead 3-2! Awesome! Come on the Heat, can they now pull one outta the bag on the road in Texan country!?
