A LEGEND IS BORN III

[Justine.]

Should it be 'Trade Deadline' not Draft Deadline? On your thread title.

[Fresh8]

Thanks Justine! Fixed!

[Martti.]

AI! He gonna come off the bench? As he said, I don't know any MVP to come off the bench.

[Houndy]

Nice

[Clutch]

Scola is a bruiser in the post who will do all the nitty gritty work

^^ took the words outta my mouth; should be interesting, though i wouldn't have moved reliable Scola for yet another toxic attitude who's gotta have the rock

The plot thickens with AI in the fold.

Nice

Thanks Hondo.

Bassy is the underrated piece to this trade. He may become the most important player of the deal.

[Lamrock]

Interesting trade. You get rid of Bassy, but with AI not being a combo guard, it probably won't clear time for Jao Wu. Certainly thickens the plot, but I don't see this improving the team at all. Much less practice will happen now.

[puttincomputers]

well, at least i called the team! lol

[Fresh8]

Well, the rationale was to bring in a big name player who could swing a game. I think we've got that guy. However, Coach Sit ain't happy.

[megarover]

This is a very interesting move. Get AI and Kidd a ring!

[kibaxx7]

Nice deal man. Don't really like Telfair, so glad he's gone. You think Wilcox can turn it up a notch now?

Will try my best!

Nice deal man. Don't really like Telfair, so glad he's gone. You think Wilcox can turn it up a notch now?

I love Telfair but Kidd is playing on so long... Telfair was always going to take over but sort of never happened. We got Karl and Wu now who are going to develop into greater players than Bassy... sucks to see him go but we're getting Iverson in return.

I love Wilcox. That's why I didn't trade him away and rather give up Scola. And also great cause Wilcox is one of the original Stealths!

[Mark.]

Good deal. Lets hope AI doesnt kill too much chemistry. If all works out this could be a make or break move for your season!

[dare]

Are you going to play AI as PG? Wu will not like that

[Fresh8]

Yes, we either lose all our momentum or we keep building on it.

Are you going to play AI as PG? Wu will not like that

I will play Iverson as backup SG. Wu is third string PG/SG...

[Fresh8]

LAST CHANCE

Last chance for any draftees who want to come into this association. Off the top of my head, there's 6 or 7 of you so far - so last chance to join.

As stated, this will be the last ever NLSC draft class!

[rise]

I PMed you with my info.

[Houndy]

Pmed mine Sit

Thanks Hondo. Thanks z02!

Durant Outshines Iverson, Anthony In Comeback Win
22 February, 2013
Preview | Box Score | Recap | Highlights



SEATTLE (AP) – Allen Iverson couldn’t wait to make his Seattle Stealth debut and thanks to an uncharacteristic game from Reshawn Tyson, the 37 year old got to make his impact earlier than expected.

Early foul trouble for Tyson meant that Iverson, acquired yesterday in a deal with the New York Knicks, was able to make his Seattle debut in front of a sold out arena. Iverson made the most of his opportunity as he keyed a 12-2 run in the middle of the first quarter. Prior to entering the game, the home team was trailing the Nets 10-2. “I just wanted to be aggressive,” Iverson said after the game, “I wanted to prove that I can still play and I will play hard off the bench. I love basketball. I love Seattle.”

The good vibes didn’t last as Iverson went cold after the end of the first period. He didn’t add onto his tally of 9 points until late in the game; he would only add a three pointer and finish with 12 points in his first game as a member of the Stealth. Iverson’s cold streak coincided with the Nets’ push to make their lead a double digit one. New Jersey led by as many as 19 points in the second quarter. Stealth back up PG Aaron Karl kept his team in it as he came off the bench and made three big three pointers in the second and third quarters.

NBA leading scorer Kevin Durant scored 24 second half points and single handily led his side back into the contest. Andrew Bogut scored 10 third quarter points while Tyson added 9 in the final quarter. Durant boasted about how his team turned a double digit deficit into a seemingly easy win whilst having a dig at Nets SF Carmelo Anthony who finished with a game high 35 points, “My team was focused. I told them to get the job done and they did it. This is what a real leader does. I don’t need to try and I still get to 28 points. If I tried as hard as Carmelo, I would score 50 every night.”

Notes: Nets C DJ Schmidt grabbed a career high 20 rebounds… Jason Kidd had 7 assists… Tyson had 4 personal fouls by the middle of the second quarter. He declined to talk to reporters after the game… Iverson finished with 12 points, 2 assists on 4 for 9 shooting from the field. He sank 2 three pointers. Iverson on the Stealth jerseys, “I always thought they were ugly but it’s a whole different feeling when you put it on. They’re really ugly.”

[Martti.]

AI's not feelin the sub-role at all.

[[Hyperize]]

Nice win, and a pretty good debut for Iverson too. It looks like Bogut didn't crash the boards as much as he normally does though.

[Lamrock]

Love the report card. Also, Iverson's already looking like a good asset.
