Week 11 - Notes

Headline of the week: "Two strong showings vaults Habib into 6th."

Notable schedule alerts: Cavs and Blazers only play 2 games this week.

Matchup of the week: Super Troopers v. Team Russell
Our 2 top teams are duking it out this week. Stephen Jackson has recently gone down injured as well as Daequan Cook. This should put a bit of a damper on Troopers' 3 point production. Andrew Bogut and Rip Hamilton injuries will likely prove as hindering to Team Russell. I'm predicting a W for Super Troopers.

Other notable matchups include L-view v. Me#1. I think this is a matchup Loren can win. He's dropped almost every week, but I think that the win L-view gave to Aegis was not a fluke. And a further injury on Devin Harris doesn't hurt the matter. GL Loren.

Trade Discussion:

A flurry of trades has happened, and injured teams (Loren/Gameday) are trying to salvage what they can get.

Aldridge/Chalmers to L-view - Davis/Deng to Gameday: I think I got the better end of this trade, but Chalmers/Aldridge are ripping it up and Davis/Deng are injured. (Winner: L-view)

Howard/Duhon/Curry to Luucious - Stuckey/Artest/Lee to Loren: (Winner: Luucious) 5th highest assist man in the league and Dwight Howard, need I say more? Artest is struggling to play every game, and Stuckey could be the sleeper bright spot for Loren.

Scola to Loren - Monta to Aegis: (Winner: Loren) Probably the best trade Loren has made this season, I wouldn't count on Monta putting up the numbers that he did last season, and Yao will only be healthy for so long before Scola takes over the starting position.

Sheed to Luucious - Murphy to Gameday: (Even) Luucious gets the defensive stats I take the rebounds. Dislike sheed all you want, he does things that other big men don't and he does it all in less then 1 t/o per game. Murphy is the defensiveless version of Sheed, hence the 25 rating on Sheed and the 45 rating on Murphy. I made this trade due to the injury factor.
