Well now maybe we can finally make it back to the playoff picture. Floor is open for questions.

Do you have any immediate remorse from giving up what's looking increasingly like a pick that would have had top 3 odds at the #1 overall? Was your motive behind this really a dearth of cash for camping or do you really feel like this is the move to put you solidly in contender status?

Not really I know it is looking towards a top pick I understand but I just felt this year it cost me 5 k to double camp my young studs as it is and being i have so much money tied into them already I did not want to stop i fully plan to double camp marbury,batum,gordon,and camby again if I added another stud rookie it would just be to mauch money considering all i get from a season is usually 400-600 cash so at the rate i am going with these camps i will be in the red soon lol and i need my players fully camped so i can sit back and collect on them for a few seasons and they are all pretty young I should be able to keep them together for at least 4-5 more seasons.

No I totally understand where you're coming from, I honestly was in a very similar position last year before I dumped big Al for cash. How sad are you gonna be though if that pick comes up #1 or 2 though lol? Did you ever consider moving batum/gordon/camby for cash instead and holding onto the pick? Obviously that would have been far more risky because you never know who's in the draft, but did it ever cross your mind?

Do you own a Stephon Marbury jersey? Or do you at least have some Starbury's from Steve and Barry's? I know I used to....fire

4-1 in your first sim after the trade. Care to comment on the insinuation by the leagues commissioner you were plied with candy, lured into a van and convinced to make this move?

Obviously that would have been far more risky because you never know who's in the draft, but did it ever cross your mind? It did cross my mind but then i will be in the same cycle of having all young players and have to build them up and I just figured this was as good and i needed to make a run eventually most only have a window of a few seasons to make a real run so I figured either this year or next I should be able to make playoffs then anything can happen then. I noticed most championship teams need some studs but they also need some seasoned veterans, I am just hoping I found a good balance and the amazing thing is jefferson and kemp are not even 30 either.

The logic behind the trade was awful. I'd rather have a top 3 guy than a bunch of 10-15 guys

I know I used to....fire Not IRL lol I do remember though when SLAM magazine first came out it one of the first issues was a expose on marbury being the next great pg a can't miss prospect number one in the country well we know he never lived up to his expectations for one reason or the other but I am excited to let him have a second chance and see how good he should have been.

Like I explained it I look at it as adding two very good players for one very good player and being I already have camby,marbury,batum,and gordon I think my team is in good shape. Will I ever win it all prob not I am horrible at dc's and always lack the knowledge to go deep in the playoffs prob my autism but I am just having fun.

Don't let it bother me anymore I just play the best way I know how and have fun.

I don't think the trade was THAT bad but I would've kept the Kings pick. I do think you have an abundance of playable big men now with Chandler, Camby, Okur, and Kemp. Are you looking to move one of them for a good SG so you're able to slide Jefferson to SF and bring Eric Gordon off the bench which would be an ideal lineup for you?
