Bonus...A Look at the Trades Made in Season 52

 

1)      Oklahoma City trades second pick in Season 52 draft plus second pick in Season 53 draft to Dallas for center Chocky Galumpkus

 

Clear winner here is Oklahoma City, because Dallas got eventual cut pile guy forward Al DiMeola with 52 pick and guard Dominus Vobiscum with Season 53 pick…Vobiscum is fourth guard on team for last two seasons.

Galumpkus was 2^nd team All-MBA with OKC, scoring at 15.9 per clip and is still a starter for them two seasons later

 

 

 

2)      Charleston trades its second pick for Season 53 to Seattle for center Johnny Bananas and guard Whitey “White Boy” White

 

In Season 52, Bananas is the All-MBA center…so…great trade for Charleston, right? Read on

 

In Season 53 Seattle gets guard Freddy Gooch with the Charleston pick, then trades him and forward Rattles Ithome to Charleston for forward Frog Morton and guard Itsaka Numdrum

 

No advantage for either team to this point…………….BUT

 

Bananas goes free agent after Season 52, winding up with Dallas, leaving Charleston without a center. In order to get Bananas back, Charleston trades its second pick of Season 54 to Dallas, and that second pick turns out to be the big prize of the Season 54 draft, guard Vicious Hick.

 

So you could actually say that the clear winner in the Charleston and Seattle trade was, in effect, the Dallas Demons.

 

 

3)      Sacramento trades rookie forward Pete Marzano to Dallas for Hall of Fame center J.J. Gargantuan

Gargantuan has a solid season and Sacramento finishes first in the West, but Gargantuan immediately becomes a free agent.

Meanwhile, Marzano becomes the starting forward for the Demons on two straight championship teams and is the regular season league MVP in Season 53.

 

Huge advantage to Dallas

 

4)      Gillette trades center Swordfish Willie Shingles to Los Angeles for forward Billie “Be-bop” Bauer who left Gillette to become a free agent.

Shingles plays two seasons for two last-place L.A. teams, then retires, while Bauer has an All-MBA season for Gillette in Season 52, starts for the Hump’s first playoff team in Season 53 and is still their starter as of Season 54.

 

Clear advantage to Gillette
