It's Official, Iverson a King


The Sacramento Kings have official signed SG Allen Iverson to a 1 year, $12.18 M contract. There has been many speculations about this pairing around the league for a few weeks now.

The Kings struggled with an 0-3 start, but have won their last game. They are currently last in the Pacific division and are not expected to threaten the division leader Los Angeles Clippers.

The Kings backcourt will now feature two high scoring, high powered guards with high character. This experiment will be a true test to Coach Westphal if he can pair both Evans and Iversons skills to extend their 1-game win streak.

In all my dynasties AI is a King

Baron Davis	PG	Russell Westbrook

Ryan Gomes	SF	Kevin Durant
Blake Griffin	PF	Jeff Green
Chris Kaman	C	Nenad Kristic

The Clippers struggled once again as they allowed the Thunder to go 11-3 to start the game. During the entire game Kevin Durant was unstoppable. The Clippers threw a variety of defenders at him, Ryan Gomes, Al-Farouq Aminu, Eric Gordon, Blake Griffin, and none of them could stop Durant from scoring a game high 45 points and grab 11 rebounds.

Clippers had many mental errors as they constantly were in the penalty early in almost all quarters, luckily the Clippers were able to keep it close by out rebounding them 49-36. Baron would foul out in the 4th quarter, which is when Gordon and Griffin stepped up to force overtime. They combined for 25 points in the fourth quarter and Gordon had 10 in overtime to get the win.

Russell Westbrook hit a big 3 on the fast break with 16.5 seconds remaining to tie the game in overtime, but silly foul from James Harden put Gordon on the line with about 3 seconds remaining in the game. Gordon made the first one to take the lead and missed the second on purpose to allow the time to run out. Durant did get the rebound, but with the Thunder out of timeouts he threw it the full length of the court only to have the ball sail out of bounce. Clippers would in bound the ball to make it official and win the game.

Coach Del Negro:

I'm proud of my guys. They were having a bad game, they had a chance to quite, but they kept fighting. I'm proud of them.

Eric Gordon:

I knew if I could just tie the game, my team would pull together in overtime. I knew my 3 wasn't falling tonight, so I wanted to keep it safe and give ourselves the best chance at a victory.

OKC shot chart after the game...looks like the adjustments were a success?

[Bucket]

Oh my Thunder

[.PorkyJoker.o6]

Nice Win!

[Andrew]

Great win, very realistic scores for overtime as well. Nice alley-oop.

[George7]

Durantula_MVP, I second that AI case.In my dynasty he's a King too!

Nice win and pretty impressive game from Eric Gordon!

[Psychedelic™]

What's your Long Range Shooting slider? I would strongly recommend to make it at least 65 but not more than 70. Shooting 3's in Live 08 is quite difficult even for a pure shooter.

50 user and 53 cpu...i'll look into raising it as 3 point shooting was TERRIBLE in the game...i went 1/18 and the thunder had 3/14...in my old slider i had 65 and 70 and i and the cpu shot a little too good i think

...i'll test 60 - 65 for the next game

[Murat]

Wow... Awesome wins. Sofo confused me.

[dare]

Nice win and nice alley-oop too. Very realistic stats, could you pm me the sliders? are you still playing 12 minutes?

[KidJustin]

Durantula_MVP, hey they have my respect...it was REALLY close. it wasnt in the recap but the final moments included a Griffin dunk to put the game within 1...then Gordon fouled Harden...Harden goes 1 and 1 to make it a 2 point game...which would lead to a Gordon layup to push overtime...i dont think i would have been able to hit a 3 if harden hit both free throws. they have my respect and i would say my hardest opponent yet. Durant is unstoppable!

.PorkyJoker.o6, thanks!

Andrew, Thanks, i think i finally got the right combination for making it real...just let me know if u want to use it or upload it in some way...not sure how it would work.... right when i saw the type of dunk he threw down...i instantly knew it was going to be in my highlight reel!

George7, i kind of dont like AI in Sac-Town....the kings were a team i was hoping to use for salary dumping later in the season, if i needed it...not sure if i can do that now..

Badger, what do u mean? confuses?

dare, thanks, i'll send them over...the setting.dat and the aiact u need both...i'll reupload the new sliders and info on the front page soon. and yes still 12 min sliders

[Keef]

Are you using JUST the aiact from Kris' Gameplay fix?

[KidJustin]

Keef, basiliopatrick sliders modified with my sliders and further adjusted for 12 min quarters
then Kris Gameplay fix + TUP dunk.act plus a custom modified crunch.act from Pdub

it'll be posted soon

[Keef]

what does the crunch.act do?
I'm already using Kris' Gameplay fix but without the database. What I meant was, are you using everything in the gameplay fix or just the aiact and animations?

[KidJustin]

Carmelo Anthony wants out of Denver?


Sources have found that Carmelo Anthony maybe be plotting his escape from Denver. Anthony's wife, actress LaLa, may also factor in the decision of his destination.

NY Post:

Now that Stoudemire is a Knick, and rumors continue to swirl about Anthony wanting to join him, he still hopes the partnership will take place.

"I hope it does happen," Stoudemire told The Post. "Carmelo is a phenomenal player . . . he could help us a lot. We're still not sure how things will work out, but the team we've got now, the personnel we have now has what it takes to win, so we've just got to keep working at it.

Yahoo! Sports:

Anthony has hesitated to sign a three-year, $65 million extension and expressed intrigue with opting out of his contract next summer to become a free agent. Despite significant speculation the New York Knicks are the team that Anthony would most likely want to join, two sources close to him insisted the Knicks have been overstated as an object of his desire. Privately, Anthony has expressed more enthusiasm over joining the Houston Rockets than the Knicks, sources said.

Denver Post:

Meanwhile, if the Nuggets cannot convince Carmelo Anthony to sign an extension with the team and they decide to trade him at some point, could it be to the Los Angeles Clippers? I’m hearing it could be a possibility. It would get both he and his wife, La La, out to where entertainment opportunities are plentiful, which is key factor in their decision to want to move on.

ESPN:

Nuggets have been exploring what they might be able to get for All-Star forward Carmelo Anthony, who has not signed the team's three-year, $65 million extension offer and could become a free agent next summer.

Another league source said Anthony, "in his heart," would like to stay in Denver but has lost faith in the team's direction.

Yahoo! Sports:

The New Jersey Nets and Los Angeles Clippers have emerged as the two most probable destinations for Anthony because they have assets that appeal to Denver. The geography works for Anthony because of his wife LaLa Vazquez’s entertainment career.

Golden State and Houston are contenders, too. What’s more, the Charlotte Bobcats are a sleeper because of Anthony’s Brand Jordan shoe deal and the team’s ability to give the Nuggets a salary-dump proposal.

This might become one of the biggest stories this season since LeBron's decision during the offseason.
