Week 5 review - Week 6 Preview

Headline of the week: "They Shall Call Me#1 claims first much needed win. Aegis Fang continues to slide."

Game Count:
Game Day v. McLovin: 44-43 GD+1
Troopers v. Obiwon: 37 - 50 Obi +13
L-view v. Luucious: 40 -42 Luucious +2
Habib v. BBB: BBB +3
Aegis v. Russell: Russell +2
Sweep v. Me#1: Even

Predictions:
Game Day over McLovin: on principle.
Obiwon over Troopers: Too much game count differential. Troopers suffering from injuries.
L-view over Luucious: Luucious suffering from injuries, Hou only plays twice.
Habib over BBB: Predicting first "W" for Habib. Injuries are curbing.
Russell over Aegis: Aegis has too many injuries, even though Russell has some too, Aegis' are too significant.
Me#1 over Sweep: MATCHUP of the WEEK: I'm predicting Loren follows up with another win, it's going to be a small one, but a win nonetheless.

NBA Schedule: Note Kings and Rockets only play twice this week.

Trade Discussion:

Ron Artest/Adam Morrisson for Bargnani/Duhon:

Immediate value has Loren winning this trade. My prediction is that Artest picks it up, with T-Mac moving from 1 injury to the next, and that Bargnani falls off his hot streak pretty sharply in the next couple weeks. Adam Morrisson sux, and Duhon is probably the best addition from this trade. 22 assists in one game, Duhon is poised to be a top assist man in the league. Only about 8 players averaged over 7 assists a game last season. Duhon could be next.

Administrative details: I have changed the veto period to 1 day, in the hopes that it will expedite the trade moving dates. I'm not sure that this will work. Weekly moves has been increased from 3 to 4. This will remain at 4 for the remainder of the season. Changes and adjustments can be addressed at the end of the season for next year. The trade timeline will continue to be adjusted until it's about 1 day for veto/2 days before moving.

Thanks and keep posting,
