Power Moves

In trade talks conducted entirely in Mandarin right before the draft, Funk Coalition and Fob Stars debated the benefits of swapping PF/Cs. Unhappy with Chris Bosh's effort last season as the weak appendage of the Heat's Big Three, Fob Stars' GM Jimmy decided he had to dump his former first round pick at any cost. Luckily, Funk's GM Jon was looking to bolster his inside scoring, and despite loving Joakim Noah's contributions, he felt this was a necessary move to make for his championship run.

Bosh averaged 18.7 PTS, 8.3 REB, 0.8 STL and good percentages in 77 games last season. He will be joining Al Jefferson alongside Funk's frontline. Noah missed quite a few games but had a breakout year as he put up 11.7 PTS, 10.4 REB, 1.5 BLK, and 1.0 STL in 48 games. He will team with Emeka Okafor to seal the REB and BLK categories for Fob Stars, as the two will also be paired with new franchise cornerstone, Zach Randolph. Randolph a franchise player and team captain? It certainly looks like it!

The final trade worked out to be Funk Coaltion's two first round picks and Noah for Fob Stars' second round pick and Chris Bosh. Funk's extra first rounder was acquired in last year's Deron Williams' deal. After the 2012 picks were sorted out, the final trade ended up looking like this: Bosh and Ed Davis for Noah, Nick Young, and Chris Kaman. Time will tell if the trade works out for both sides, or if one of them got completely swindled. Here's hoping this leads to the Fob Stars demise.
