According to Yahoo Sports, Vladimir Radmanovic was sent packing. He has been traded to Charlotte for Adam Morrison and Shannon Brown. Not a huge move in the immediate future, but it gets Vlade’s terrible contract off the books. Hopefully this can be a career revival for Adam Morrison, who was drafted 3rd overall in 2006. He’s had a pretty slow start to his career, but didn’t really get a whole lot of minutes to prove himself. Hopefully, this is the chance that he needs. Morrison was a straight up scorer in college. Let’s see if he can get back to that level. If not, then it’s no loss to the Lakers,  since Morrison’s contract has a team option at the end of this year. This then opens up some money to resign Trevor Ariza and Lamar Odom if the Lakers choose to.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—The Charlotte Bobcats sent struggling forward Adam Morrison and reserve Shannon Brown to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday for forward Vladimir Radmanovic.

The move is the third trade the Bobcats have made this season in a roster shakeup under first-year coach Larry Brown.

Morrison was the third overall pick of the 2006 draft and managing partner Michael Jordan’s first major move since buying into the Bobcats. But Morrison had failed to crack the starting lineup and his minutes had declined under Brown.

Morrison will give the Lakers an outside shooting threat, while the 6-foot-10 Radmanovic gives the Bobcats more depth up front.

What the fuck is wrong with Yahoo!? There’s definitely something wrong here. I never followed their recommendations very closely, but this just takes the take.

Do they really think that Chris Paul belongs in the not category? They’ve even proved themselves wrong by listing his stats. Good job Yahoo!

Second place in both leagues? Woot woooooot

Here’s a break down of what has happened so far this season. I had a team of underachievers that finally stepped up and are playing the way I expected them to.

Previous update here.

In league #1, here are ther moves that I’ve made so far:

Being an idiot, I dropped Nene, who would have been a great late draft pickup, but nope. I’m an idiot and dropped him, then picked up Tyrus Thomas. Then I dropped Thomas immediately and picked up Blatche, dropped Beno Udrih for Farmar, dropped Rondo for Rudy Fernandez, and then made my best move of the season. I dropped Blatche and picked up Mario Chalmers to give myself another guard. I figured that he would be decent, but he’s putting up solid numbers, especially in a 12 team league. Then yesterday, I just dropped Jamario “underacheiver” Moon, and picked up CJ Miles, then dropped Mike “Injured” Dunleavy for Delonte West. We’ll see how that one pans out.

Bosh has shown that he should definitely be considered a top pick in the draft after putting up huge numbers to start the season. He’s one of my untradeables, along with Danny Granger. Here’s my new starting lineup that has gotten me into 2nd place:

PG: Chauncey Billups

SG: CJ Miles

G: Mario Chalmers

SF: Danny Granger

PF: Chris Bosh

F: Rasheed Wallace

C: Samuel Dalembert

Util: Brad Miller

Util: Kendrick Perkins

My main issue now is what to do with CJ Miles if he’s still playing well when Jason Richardson comes back from his injury. Not too bad of an issue to be worrying about. But once again, 2nd place baby!

Who would you pick if you had the first pick in your league. I managed to get Lebron in one league. There has been a great arguement for Chris Paul, but Lebron just puts up great all around stats. Kobe’s scoring numbers have dropped slighty, but his rebounding and assists have been on the rise.

What’s your pick?
