The Rockets would never trade Yao for AK-47. Besides, you already have a good center in Okur. I recommend that you now trade him + Fisher for a good SG and SF.

yes good idea Lamrock13. i like that you got rid of AK47 though, i hate that guy!! :lol:

I used to like Kirilenko. But this season, he has sucked and has really been a non-factor. He USED to be a DPOY candidate and All-Star with huge potential. Now he is just an overrated overpaid injured cancer.

Trade idea:

M. Okur + D. Fisher + R. Brewer for Nocioni + Gordon. Not the most realistic trade, but it may be accepted. You could always trade for Nocioni and Deng, starting Deng at the 2 spot.

Something is fooking wrong with my memory card..I saved the game when I went to basketball, and now when I tried to load it, it says something like "cannot load, data corrupted"...2 of my dynasties have gone down the drain...I don't think I'm going to do another one until the new NBA Live (08) comes out, and then I'm going to get it on PC so I can back it up...sorry guys...

by **Lamrock** on Tue Apr 10, 2007 3:21 pm

Shit... That sucks. Oh well. I guess you'll just have to compensate by using my Sim Association.

But I think you should give it one last shot. Use the same team; no new topic, maybe make some more realistic trades and just hope for the best one last time.

BTW, your pics in the Bulls dynasty were great. You are on console? I get terrible pics with my TV.

by **Effekt** on Tue Apr 10, 2007 3:32 pm

Nah, as you said, I'll just compensate with your Sim league.

I have hooked my PS2 up to my PC using a TV Card so I can watch TV on the PC and some AV Ports that came with it. I press space bar and it takes a picture of exactly what's on the screen in the highest quality it can.

Oh, thats pretty cool! I might do that for 2K8! Well, it is a shame to see this end. lol In the Sim League, you'll have a long way to go. Even though Iguodala's Overall has been bumped 5 points since the season's start, Philly's Overall is like 57.

by **Martti.** on Thu Apr 12, 2007 3:08 am

Okur + Fisher = Decent SG.

That'll be te way to go.. You can get Maybe Iguodala or Gordon..

Good luck with this..
