Side Hustles

Wheeling and dealing yet again, Trieu steps up and moves small for big, Raymond Felton for Andrew Bogut, to free up some of the logjam he had at guard after acquiring Russell Westbrook. Buffy wasn't getting much use out of the oft injured Bogut this season, and desperately needed another point guard to pair with Jeremy Lin, so Felton can be the answer.

Felton hasn't been a picture of health himself this season but he's averaging 14.5 PTS, 6.0 STL, 1.4 3PT, and 1.3 STL per game. Seeing as Bogut has only played thirteen games this season (to the tune of 6.8 PTS, 6.6 REB, 1.5 BLK), this will be like adding a free player for Roger's team as he prepares his post-season run. However, Trieu didn't have room for Felton in his rotation so adding a semi-healthy Bogut would be nice front line help for DeMarcus Cousins.

Both Buffy and Sour Snails are at 12-5 with just two weeks of the regular season to go. This means they'll likely be the number one and two seeds in the Chamberlain Conference -- although Squirtle Squad could have something to say about that at 11-5-1 -- and this trade could have playoff ramifications. Are we going to see any other moves before the playoffs start? We sure hope so, as this season has seen a lot of exciting in-season movement!
