Welcome to Brooklyn

[IWWROCKS]

Oh and in terms of the FG % for the team

I have the highest FG % in the league with 0.496

But am 25th in opposition FG % with 0.458

[Myles Nelson]

He still hits a ridiculous percentage of FGJ. Wow.

GM Notes

The big men came to play! A big improvement from Dwight and Blake saw us have another very good month. We're currently tied for the first seed in the east which is a complete turn around from last year. Francesco Ravanelli dropped this month due to a niggling injury that severly reduced his minutes in the middle of the month. I'm glad to say he is over that now and looking to continue his good work early in the season.

At this moment i'm not actively looking to get involved in the trade market, as I dont want to break up a winning team if I can help it. That said, I have let other teams know that Kyle Korver, Chris-Douglas Roberts and DaJuan Summers are available for the right offer. I will be looking for a good bench rebounder if we are to make any deal.

[IWWROCKS]

He still hits a ridiculous percentage of FGJ. Wow.

Yeah his Inside and Outside shooting are both 9/10

If he was on a team with less star players where he got more touches I can only imagine what he could do.

[michaelsan]

its a game bug ...its not about stars ecc

[IWWROCKS]

I thought the bug was players having low FG %?

[michaelsan]

yeah player shoot tendecies problems...i hope gary will fix it

[IWWROCKS]

The suprise with Robinson is that his shooting percentage is quite high

Trades

LAC Gets: Enes Kanter (C)
CHI Gets: 2014 1st Round Pick

BKL Gets: Antwan Jamison (PF)
UTA Gets: DaJuan Summers (PF)

GM: Very happy with this deal. Antwan may be ageing but fits well into a win team now. He takes the role of 6th man. While he might not be a fantastic rebounder, he certainly offers more coming off the bench in that department and others than DaJuan did. When I heard Utah were shopping him around I had to go for him.

NO Gets: Ramon Sessions (PG) 2014 2nd Round Pick
LAL Gets: Gustavo Ayon (PF) Shannon Brown (SG)

DEN Gets: Jarret Jack (SG)
NYK Gets: Chris Anderson (C), 2014 1st Round Pick

GM Notes

A very solid month and we continue to see the team improve. More losses than I would of liked but we end the month 2nd in the conference which is no joke. We made a movement in the trade market that I beleive helps our title chances right now which is great. I'm impressed with Blake Griffin who has seemingly settled into his role on this team. He is scoring and rebounding better lately than the beggining of the season.

GM Notes

I think I can be forgiven for beleiving we could possibly go from being the worst team in the league, to the best essnetially over night (or 14 nights of free agency anyway)...it's fantastic! Mikhail left me a touching message saying he is glad he trusted in me and he can't wait to see us in the playoffs. I know we are no where near home though. We dont want to have come all this way to be embarrased in the playoffs. I'm confident though if we can stay injury free for the rest of the regular season we can make a deep run.

Francesco Ravanelli was never a risk at number 1 and he's showing exactly why. He won the Rookie of the Month in March, February, December and November. That's 4 out of 5 Months. Absoloutely Brilliant.
