[kibaxx7]

Tough loss. You need to shoot more with Gasol!

[betamaxboy]

Tough loss. You need to shoot more with Gasol!

I can do that. Thanks for the tip though. I'm having trouble using my bench too.
Do you think i need a trade? Suggestions?

Odom should definitely be more active on offense. Odom is better than 4 and 8 point games.

I'm having difficulties on Odom. Its really hard to give Odom, Gasol, and Bynum good games at the same time. I'm having trouble using my bench too.
Do you think i need a trade? Suggestions?

[kibaxx7]

Only 3 games and you want to make a trade already? I did that a lot of times, and you can see by yourself how my stories ended.

You have one of the best rosters in the league, wouldn't consider a trade at least until you see 9 or 10 L's in a row. With the Lakers, not very probable. Maybe try some FA's.

Rubio was a free agent

[betamaxboy]

Rubio was a free agent

hes under rated here he's just a role player to backup CP3. i think the guy just doesn't wanna play in Minnesota.

Only 3 games and you want to make a trade already? I did that a lot of times, and you can see by yourself how my stories ended.
You have one of the best rosters in the league, wouldn't consider a trade at least until you see 9 or 10 L's in a row. With the Lakers, not very probable. Maybe try some FA's.

I think i'll just update my rotation.
