NOVEMBER NEWS AND RUMOURS


Mavericks trade Kidd, Terry in separate deals

The Dallas Mavericks traden, in stunning fashion, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry in two separate deals, both were ugly.
The PG was traded to Cleveland in exchange of Anderson Varejao, the Mavs lose one of the best point guard of the game and added a forward who will backup Dirk Nowitzki and centers Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood. The trade is totally nonsense too because Kidd is searching for a ring, and the Cavs are in totally rebuilding mode
Terry was traded to Sacramento in exchange for Omri Casspi. Now the Mavs are thin at the backcourt


Suns trade C Brown to Cleveland for Draft Pick

The Suns wants to have a good chemistry in their locker room, and Kwame isn't the best fit. He was unhappy with his role and the Suns inmmediatly traded him to Cleveland for a 1st rounder in next year draft. The Cavs are going to use him as the starting C due to the Varejao trade and the leavings of Shaq and Ilgauskas.
The Suns are getting the Cavs first rounder, and is very likely that it will be a Top 10 pick


Ricky Rubio unhappy in Minnesota?

Ricky Rubio told to a Spanish Diary that's he's a bit upset with his role in Minny. He is coming from the bench but he is only playing 14 minutes a game. He said that he was promised to have a bigger role and that he will be in the starting 5. He also said that if this problem continues, he will ask for a trade.


Suns' Morrison showing flashes

Adam Morrison, the 3rd pick in the NBA Draft years ago, is showing some flashes of his old form in Hawaii. The Suns put him in the lineup for almost the entire 4th quarter and he played at a high level, including a game-clinching three pointer at Chicago.

THE SUNS PART WAYS WITH GRANT HILL

The Phoenix Suns announced today that they have traded Grant Hill to Sacramento in exchange for 2 second round pick. Also the Suns sent his 2010 2nd rounder to Sacramento.

The annonce was made today after some days of speculation. The Suns had a logjam at the Forward position, having Hill, Jared Dudley and Mike Miller for most of the minutes and the three were unhappy with their minutes. Also with the surprisingly good play by Adam Morrison, somebody had to go.

Dudley is the best perimeter defender from the Suns and he weas playing most of the 4th quarter minutes. Miller is shooting almost 50% from downtown. And Grant Hill wasn't shootin very well this year and he was overmatched by younger forwards like Brandon Roy and Vince Carter, who torched the Suns defense with 38 points each one.
Also, He asked for a new contract at the beginning of the season and the Suns were willing to do that. But in recent days there was a rumour around that Hill will hang up the sneakers at the end of the season. So the Suns traded him away.

The Kings recieve a solid player who can contribute in and off the court. He's a great mentor and a great locker room presence. He arrives to a Sacramento team (2-10) who is having terrible chemistry problems. Let's see what happens.

The Suns lose him more in the locker room, because in the court his minutes can be well replaces. Mike Miller will take the starting spot while Jared Dudley and "Dynamite" Adam Morrison will backup him.


In another move today. The Phoenix Suns signed Chinese Point Guard Sun Yue to 1 year contract. He will be the team's third point guard. He will wear #10

Ah, don't like the move. Two 2nd round picks? Hill is one of my favs.

[Alejandrov011]

Ah, don't like the move. Two 2nd round picks? Hill is one of my favs.

Me too.. I didn't want to move any of the 3 (Hill, Dudley, Miller) but with Morrison rockin' I have to move one of them because i had 6 players for the SG and SF positions

Dudley: Best defender Moral: 72
MIller: Great shooter Moral: 50 (due to be in the bench)
Hill: Good defender and good shooter, but he was fading down Moral: 72
Morrison: Growing a lot: Morale 100 (he's happy, I put him as a promise)
Clark: Can develope Morale: 70, he's not playing too much
J. Richardson: The starting SG, not tradeable: Morale 80
Even Warrick can play the Small forward! Great logjam!

Dudley, Miller and Clark were unhappy due to playing time.. So I had to choose one for trade. He lose 1 point in overall, he is 38 and if I traded for a good player I would have the same problem because right now everybody is getting happier due to playing time. I tried to get a 1st rounder but nobody offered one, so I picked Sacramento picks because they will be a 30-35

I hope this can create a better chemistry, right now it's on 48%

[rise]

You could definitely have gotten some more out of Grant Hill. Hell, I got Ray Allen out of Boston for Grant Hill + 2 others.
