In a stunning move, winless Jedi Knights have decided to blow up their roster by starting from the very top. Franchise cornerstone Dirk Nowitzki was moved to the Human Amoebas for Andray Blatche and two first round picks. Initial reactions to this deal were not positive, as some pundits questioned the short and long term viability of Mr. Blatche.

After all, in eighteen games this season, Blatche has averaged only 9.8 PTS, 7.2 REB, 1.1 STL. His upside was showcased last April when he averaged 23.6 ppg, 10.3 rpg, 2.1 spg, 1.3 bpg and 50.7 FG%. Of course, that was just Blatche-sanity so it'll be up for debate if he can match those numbers again. The make or break part of this deal will be what GM Chris does with those two first rounders -- one in 2013, one in 2014

Currently, Nowitzki is averaging 19.7 PTS, 6.9 REB, 1.1 3PT, 0.9 STL while barely rounding into form. Even at 33 years old, the Storming German should have another few good years left. Blatche is seven years younger than Nowitzki but will he ever achieve similar heights?

This bold move allows Eric-A to trot out a dangerous shooter (and a champion) alongside Derrick Rose, Monta Ellis, Eric Gordon, Paul Millsap, and DeMarcus Cousins. If he can sneak into the playoffs, his team could make quite the spirited championship defense. On the other side, the Jedi Knights will now have Blatche, David Lee, Nene, OJ Mayo, and um, Jared Dudley? It could be a long uphill battle for this team to get a few wins, unless the draft next year brings in a huge haul. With the fewest moves done this season (seven), we'd suggest the Knights' scouts start hitting the waiver wire hard and maybe invest in a good cheerleader team.
