I accept

[Iverson2Korver43]

Pistons accept, and for the most part are done dealing...

[NetsGM]

Why did I do this?  Mike Dunleavy is the best player of the 3.  Jamison dropped this past TC and hasn't been as effective.  He's also become redundant with Drew Gooden.  I wanted some ballhandling and perimeter game from my backup SF, and that's what I'm getting with Dunleavy.

It hurt to lose Turkoglu.  If he blows up and goes to a B- B+ offensively with A- defensively, it's gonna hurt.  I like his potential, his improvement up until this point and his age.  But if it was either him or Darko, I had a more pressing need to retain Darko at this point.

I know have, in my opinion, 8 starters on my team (starting 5 + gooden, dunleavy and lord).  That's nice flexibility.

After all of these trades, my team is actually looking a little better...  I only have 3 players with less than a "B" rating...  I'm just not too sure where I will get my scoring from...

Well, at lest the Nets did not pick up a 23 year old SF to replace Battier.
Dunleavy is a nice player, but he will not play much behind Battier.

Great trade for the Nets.
