Where is Greg Oden in your roster?

[SlickNick13]

Its 07 and i could only create 16 people and Greg Oden wasnt one of them.

[Cartar]

You could try downloading Andrew's updated rosters, if you want it to be more accurate. Here's the link. It's updated as of 17th April.

[Andrew]

Not if he's playing a console version though, which I would say he is given he mentioned a CAP limit of sixteen.

Kidd meets with the Knicks, Turkoglu to meet with Blazers

Despite getting a 3-year offer from the Mavericks Jason Kidd still went and met with the New York Knicks at approximately 10:00 A.M. We don't know what team he will join as it is still early.
Portland Trail Blazers Coach Nate McMillan invited Hedo Turkoglu to dinner to discuss a contract. The Blazers are really looking forward to seeing him. Hopefully he will come to the Trail Blazers organization.

[SlickNick13]

I guess im going to stop this if noone likes this or i wont do the free agents since the only big move just happened Gordon and Villanueva to Detroit.

[cavs4872]

You shouldn't stop this. The Free Agents part looks great. You will eventually earn followers. I myself am following.

[Its_asdf]

Yeah, what I've learned from past years of writing dynasties is that just because you are not getting any replies does not mean that there are not any viewers reading... I do not have a major following like the others in the 2k9 association forum myself, so I understand how you feel (especially with the inactivity of the dynasty forums as of late).

It's kind of disheartening at first, but if you really have fun writing up these type of things like I do I'm sure it won't phase you sooner or later.

[Andrew]

Sometimes you have to look at the views, people might be reading but you don't always get a lot of feedback especially when you're kind of new to the Forum, but that should change in time.

[SlickNick13]

Thx guys

Gordon and Villanueva sign 5-year contracts with Detroit

Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva both signed 5-year contracts with Detroit. Gordon averaged 36.6 mpg, 20.7 ppg, 3.5 rpg, 3.4 apg, 0.9 spg, 0.3 bpg. Villanueva averaged 26.9 mpg, 16.2 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 1.8 apg, 0.6 spg, 0.7 bpg. Bulls said that they were going to match it but Gordon accepted it right away obviously he didn't want to play with the Bulls anymore. Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva were teammates in Connecticut's NCAA Championship season. Right now the Pistons are looking good.

Bryant and Michael Finley stay with teams

I think you're better off cropping the pictures so they aren't so uneven and that MS paint job isn't very subtle to say the least, lol. I would refrain from doing that.

[SlickNick13]

It's supposed to be an lol pic.
