Just to let you all know Im waiting to get 2k12 to finish this, but I will finish the next month on 2k11. I just have to hook my PC up to my TV somehow and I'll get to work :lol:

OK well 2k12 is a massive disappointment so far on the patching side of things, so this will stay on 2k11 until the rookies on 2k12 are released, and 2k12's jersey files are able to be opened up.

O-Town Sentinel: Magic Cut Arenas

Orlando Magic Use Amnesty Clause To Cut Arenas: Can They Keep Howard?
Image
Image
Otis Smith should be all smiles today after a small detail in the new CBA may have saved his job and Orlando's future

By Josh Robbins
Orlando Sentinel

1:25 p.m. EDT, February 20th, 2012

The Orlando Magic have cut lose Gilbert Arenas and his supremely bloated contract. The Magic, who were on the hook to pay more than $50 million, were able to obtain an amnesty clause because of another serious knee injury sustained by Gilbert Arenas in their last game. A part of the new CBA was that if a player who eats up more than a quarter of the teams' payroll gets seriously injured, the team has a choice to cut the player without having to be held accountable for the remaining salary due on the contract.

Otis Smith has been waiting for this day ever since making the trade for Arenas back in December 2010. With the Magic gaining nearly $20 million dollars in cap space, they may be able to sway Dwight Howard to stay in Orlando after this season. "They are going to go after Deron Williams or Chris Paul," a front office source said.

With the trade deadline tomorrow it'l be interesting to see if they can work out a deal to acquire Chris Paul and hopefully get Dwight Howard to sign an extension.

Steve Nash Traded To Magic

Sun Oct 23, 2011 11:03 am

Image
Image

Orlando,Florida--The Orlando Magic have acquired former back-to-back MVP Steve Nash from the Phoenix Suns today after a deal to acquire Chris Paul from the New Orleans Hornets fell through. Steve was notified of the deal a few days ahead of time and told to head to Orlando, in result, the Magic introduced him at the same time they announced the deal.

The Magic will send Jameer Nelson, Quentin Richardson, and a 2nd round pick to Phoenix, while the Suns will send Steve Nash and former Magic All-Star Grant Hill to Central Florida. "It's crazy how life works. My career has come a long ways and Im just happy to be able to have a second chance [Orlando]and another chance to win a title," said Hill on his return to Orlando.

When asked about why he didn't demand a trade out of Phoenix Nash said, "I signed the contract, so Im going to hold up my end and honor it. I loved Phoenix a whole lot and we had some amazing teams and runs, but we never could get over the hump. Hopefully we can get over it in Orlando, Grant and I, and hopefully bring Orlando it's first title."

"As far as Dwight, I don't know what his decision will be because I know how it feels to lose so many years and not win anything, but still want to try and accomplish it all with the great fans who've supported you through the ups and the downs. Hopefully we can make a run this year and he sticks around a little longer," Nash said with a smile.

Steve Nash will debut for the Magic next week against the Pacers.

Manu/Scola involved in 4-team trade?

Sun Oct 23, 2011 12:23 pm

Sources: Nets In Serious Talks With Spurs and Rockets
Image
Together Again?

Newark, New Jersey--In light of the Orlando Magic pulling off a deal that may keep Dwight Howard in Orlando the New Jersey Nets have wasted little time trying to appease their own superstar, Deron Williams.
Sources say the Nets are engaged in serious negotiations to acquire Argentinian National Teammates Manu Ginobili and Luis Scola from the Spurs and Rockets respectively. Sources also say that the Atlanta Hawks will be involved in the deal as well. The proposed trade will go as follows:

Nets
Image
Luis Scola
Manu Ginobili
Hasheem Thabeet

Rockets
Image
Josh Smith
Marvin Williams

Hawks
Image
Johan Petro
Richard Jefferson
1st round pick(from Rockets)

Spurs
Image
Anthony Morrow
Travis Outlaw
1sr round pick(from Nets)

Williams can opt out of the final year of his contract after this season and has said that he wants to win above all else. With the Nets moving to Brooklyn next season, not having Deron can decimate their plans to have a successful franchise entering a new market.

Trade Deadline Passes

Tue Oct 25, 2011 8:25 pm

Trade Deadline Passes
Image

Today the trade deadline passed, and while the names weren't exactly the "marquee" names we were expecting, some interesting moves have went down.
If it wasn't apparent before, the new CBA has made way for a lot more parity around the league and in turn no team is seems outright "dominant." With this you have a lot of average middle of the road teams that need that spark or last piece of the puzzle to make their run into the postseason, but this deadline was more about old veteran teams trading players who have been staples of their franchises for years.
Starting yesterday with the Orlando Magic trading for Steve Nash, which officially set the sun on Phoenix' glory years. Today we saw the Spurs continue what they started last offseason when they traded away Tony Parker, today they sent Manu Ginobili to Newark and Brooklyn in a few months.
The Rockets shipped off Luis Scola for youth and athleticism in the form of Josh Smith from the Hawks. And in a quiet an less talked about move the Kings sent John Salmons to the Bobcats. Below we review all of the moves:

Kings Receive
DeSagna Diop
12' 2nd round pick(from Sacramento)

Why the Kings made the move? The Kings had been playing small ball pretty much all year. With coach Paul Westphal playing Glen Davis and JJ Hickson together to give DeMarcus a break the Kings needed to do this move, especially with their glut of guards.

Bobcats Receive
John Salmons

Why the Bobcats made the move? The Cats can use any type of talent they can get at this point and with Chris Paul becoming a free agent this summer a player like John Salmons becomes a lot more appealing added with a Corey Maggette, Tyrus Thomas, Bismack Biyombo, Gerald Henderson, etc.






Magic Receive
Steve Nash
Grant Hill

Why the Magic made the move? Dwight Howard. They have put their eggs in a pretty aged basket, but it remember Nash is just a season removed from a Conference Finals run with a Phoenix team featured no one near Dwight Howard's status. One thing people are also underestimating is Otis Smith shocking turning the Magic back into a contender after the Gilbert Arenas trade. He's grabbed an all-star caliber power forward, all-star point guard, and a lockdown perimeter defender in a matter of months.

Suns Receive
Jameer Nelson
Quentin Richardson
13' 2nd round pick(from Orlando)

Why the Suns made the move? They had to do this for Steve. It was the only right thing to do for all the blood, sweat, and tears he put into that franchise. Nabbing Jameer Nelson wasn't a bad deal for them either.





Nets Receive
Manu Ginobili
Luis Scola

Why the Nets made the move? Deron Williams....should I say more?

Rockets Receive
Josh Smith
12 2nd round pick(from New Jersey)

Why the Rockets made the move? They were going nowhere anytime soon. Combine that with the fact that their older core from just 2 years ago is almost gone Luis was rotting away down in Houston. With a young athletic team an athletic 4 would feel the team out nicely. With a player of Josh Smith's caliber on the market you have to make the deal.

Hawks Receive
Richard Jefferson
Johan Petro
Jordan Farmar
12 1st round pick(from Houston)
12 1st round pick(from San Antonio)

Why the Hawks made the move? The Hawks have said since last year that Al Horford would be best at power forward, but with Josh smith trying to play small forward things just couldn't work. So they get a solid 7 footer, a better fit at the 3 spot, a better backup at point, and they get two 1st round picks in a loaded draft class from two team not planning on going to make the playoffs. Rumblings around the league say they want to go after Andre Drummond out of UCONN.

Spurs Receive
Anthony Morrow
Marvin Williams
Travis Outlaw
12 1st round pick(from New Jersey)
Why the Spurs made the move? It's been pretty evident for years, but it looks like they finally realize it too. Even though the Spurs don't seem to have a plan, we know this franchise, and quietly they have put youth almost three deep at every position around Tim Duncan in the final year of his contract. While rebuilding they are still in the hunt for the playoffs and even picked up a possible lottery pick which could possibly land them their next superstar.

How We Got Here

Image
Josh Smith completely changed Houston's fortunes and led them on an unbelievable run to the playoffs

This past NBA season has been one of the best seasons ever witnessed. Not because of a certain decision during the offseason or because of ratings going up, but this was the 1st year I can remember in a long while where so many teams had a chance and were so evenly matched. Teams predicted to be dominant and overwhelming favorites were taken down at every turn. And even after one of the most hyped trade deadlines ever not delivering, it was great team orientated moves that actually made more of an impact than any star would have.

One trade in particular though made the most difference, and hat was Houston acquiring Josh Smith. Not only did everyone see how much he had matured, but they also witnessed for the first time his full arsenal and his abilities were on full display. He led the Rockets, along with Kevin Martin, to a 17-3 run to end the season in he playoffs while the Rockets were in 11th place before he arrived.
Of course to accomplish this the Rockets needed monumental collapses by either the Clippers or Nuggets. They got both. Leading to the New Orleans Hornets making the playoffs for one last run in New Orleans.
One of the most notable things about this year was that the teams who played together and practiced during the lockout looked a lot better than teams like Miami, where they were all in different places doing their own thing.

The playoff match-ups make it even better with rematches from last year(OKC-MEM/NOH-LAL). There is also some very surprising 1st round series you'd expect to be Conference Finals or 2nd round games(NYK-ORL/SAC-POR).
This is why this season has been one of the best yet and more is in store with these great playoff series were about to witness. So buckle up, and enjoy the ride.

Playoff Match-ups Preview: Part 1

Image

Last Time They Met: 1st round 1990 NBA playoffs- Chicago wins series 3-1

Chicago enters the NBA playoffs once again the top seed in the East to a lot of peoples' surprise. Led by the leagues' reigning MVP Derrick Rose,
the Bulls look to stop the Bucks and their young point man Brandon Jennings.
This is a match-up of two very balanced teams who both have the youth to compete for years to come. With two of the best centers in the NBA going head-to-head, very deep talented rosters, and underrated coaches, this can be a very entertaining series to watch.

Key Match-up: Derrick Rose vs. Brandon Jennings
Prediction: Chicago wins 4-1

Image

Last time They Met: 1st round 2005 NBA playoffs- Dallas wins series 4-3

Dallas continues their march to repeating as champions as the number one overall seed in the playoffs this year. They will begin their playoff run against one of the biggest surprises of the season, and a team on one of the greatest runs in NBA history, the Houston Rockets.
This is a very intriguing match-up as Dallas has some bad mismatches against this Houston team and has lost both games against them in the regular season. It'll fun watching Josh Smith try to contain Dirk Nowitzki and vice versa.

Key Match-up: Dirk Nowitzki vs. Josh Smith
Prediction: Dallas wins 4-3

Image

Last Time They Met: 1st round 2001 NBA playoffs- Philadelphia wins series 3-1

Probably the biggest of all surprises, the Indiana Pacers enter as the #2 seed out East and will face the up and coming Philadelphia 76ers.
This has to be the single match-up in the 1st round where a upset is clearly the consensus. The Pacers will have trouble guarding the explosive Monta Ellis ,who even though had a sub-par year, can explode at any moment. Also the Pacers have no match-up for rookie forward Quincy Calloway who announced his arrival to the NBA the game before the playoffs began against the Atlanta Hawks. Calloway had one of the most incredible triple doubles and stat lines ever scoring 59 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, handing out 12 assists, picking up 5 steals, and 4 blocks to boot.

Key Match-up: Jrue Holiday vs. Darren Collison
Prediction: Philadelphia wins 4-2

Image

Last time They Met: 1st round 1981 NBA playoffs- Kansas City wins series 2-1

The talented Portland Trailblazers again try to make it out of the 1st round as they take on the hyped, but very talented Sacramento Kings.
Portland, while still relatively young, chances are running out. This team has been declining ever since their first playoff appearance in the Brandon Roy era a few seasons ago. With Roy now a role player due to career altering knee injuries, the Blazers find themselves again in a bad match-up. While the Kings are a 7 seed, they are as talented as a top 4 seed. This can be another upset in the making if Demarcus Cousins, Glen Davis, and JJ Hickson can control the paint from LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden and Marcus Camby.

Key Match-up: Tayshaun Prince vs. Nicolas Batum
Prediction: Portland wins series 4-2
