Trigger42 Thanks man
Lamrock93 I disagree. Yes I definitely got the better end of the deal, but the deal isn't as bad you would think at first glance. First off, keep in mind, Manu will be 31 years old in the summer of 08 (Remember I simmed a season). Maggette is 2 years younger, something that will be beneficial for the Spurs considering the amount of veterans on the team.
Robin is also not a typical 2nd round pick, he's already a 74 overall. Manu is an 87 and Maggette is a 79. The Spurs lost Finley, Bowen, and Barry to retirements, so they definitely were thin on guard/small forward depth. This trade gives them 2 starters, Robin is playing shooting guard for them, and Maggette is starting at Small Forward. Maggette is not "mediocre" either (he's average 20 points right now..), I don't get where you get that from. Sure he isn't an All-Star like Ginobili, but he's a very solid player. He can drive, shoot, dunk, play defense. I
So yes, while I did somewhat take advantage of the CPU, I didn't DESTROY them like you think at first glance...
