Will play all 82 and will post one every day.

[Cartar]

First off, good to see you back, hopefully you will succeed with the game per day plan. Second, are you planning to do any trades right away? For example trades, what the real Nets are planning currently( Swift for Mike Miller and/or Simmons and Ager for Hughes)

Thanks... and yes, trades will be made; I like Swift and he may be a starter in the future, I also like Simmons, don't know if I will trade them, Yi is in the block as I just don't like him, may use him to get Hughes or Miller.

[Martti.]

That's the way to go - trade Yi!

Good to see you back. Your dynasties have always been on the top of the class!

Good luck! Keep this one going for a while.
