Oh screw the Hornets,its important that Skillmatic got a good player,youre be killing now skillmatic

[Skills]

Iggy, LOL well here it is (below)

Kobe, You're right. And you'll see what I mean..

Mandich, AHAHA thanks I guess. But it's only fair to see the stats.

HERE ARE THE STATISTICS FOR EACH PLAYER INVOLVED IN THE TRADE

TO TORONTO:


TO NEW ORLEANS:

[Lamrock]

It is 7 games into the season. And Tyson still has better than any of those other 3 players on their own.

Lamrock, Well haven't there been some trades made earlier? :S
I'm just saying, in reality it seems unrealistic because Tyson's been doing great.
But in Live, he's been struggling. So in the realism of Live, wouldn't this seem at least a little realistic?

Lamrock is saying that you can't judge their statistics based on 7 games... he isn't saying its too early to make trades. Anyways, you also play a run'n'gun style so your numbers are a bit inflated. Anyways, interesting to see what you do with Chandler. Are you going to bench Bargaini?

[Skills]

Chaser, I know, I'm just trying to clear it up..
And yes, this could affect my team like what the Shaq trade did.
We'll just have to see what happens.. and most likely Bargnani will be benched.

I don't think there's anything wrong with trades early on, I usually try to avoid making them but as you may have seen, I gave into that temptation in the second year of my Bulls Dynasty.

Ideally, the situation could be explained with some invented backstory (which I admittedly didn't, I simply changed my mind about a couple of offseason moves I'd made) but I think the main problem when starting a new Dynasty is that you only have a small shred of an offseason to partake in before the first season begins, which means blockbusters that would perhaps be more realistic in the offseason - if not the trade deadline - happen early on in the schedule instead. Of course, I had an opportunity to do that in my second season and still didn't because it's tempting when a lineup isn't working out.

As far as your trade goes Skillmatic, it's not the most realistic and it would never have happened in real life but a Dynasty game is your own reality and it's not as though foolish deals don't happen. Hopefully, it works out for you.
