The First Three Weeks of 2008-09

Now that we’ve had a little time to watch free agency unfold, along with the usual accompaniment of trades, let’s look at some of the key moves and how they impact the teams involved.

Grading The Deal: W's Sign Maggette And Turiaf

The Boom Dizzle era is over, and the Warriors quickly recovered by signing two nice pieces to complement their young core.

	Reliving Eight Years Of Jermaine Regardless of how happy he is to be out of Indiana, there will always be a part of Indiana in Jermaine O'Neal's 6’11” frame. Andrew Perna. July 13, 2008.
	Iguodala Remains Key To Sixers' Success When Brand scribbled is name on an $82 million dollar deal Wednesday, that all ended. Iguodala's short reign as "Batman" in Philadelphia was mercifully over. John McMullen. July 10, 2008.

After the Kings beat two playoff teams on the road by two points, Philadelphia and Washington, they had to travel down to Charlotte and battle the expansion Bobcats and the young team was more than a road-weary Sacramento team could handle on Tuesday.

With five players in double-figures, the Bobcats defeated the Kings by a final score of 94-87. Sacramento made a 4th quarter comeback to make it close, outscoring the Bobcats 27-21 in the final frame. Luckily the Bobcats were up by 13 entering the 4th and they had room to be imperfect.

The Kings had trouble with Charlotte’s defense, shooting just 35-82 from the floor and 4-16 from 3-point land.

Emeka Okafor made another subtle argument on why he deserves Rookie Of The Year consideration by scoring 11 points and grabbing 13 rebounds.

The veteran leadership of Brevin Knight was there as usual for the Bobcats, as he scored 17 points and dished 10 assists.

With their 11th win of the season, they separated themselves from the last place Hawks, who may not win another game this season after trading away Antoine Walker.

Many NBA analysts predicted the Bobcats to be in danger of finishing their inaugural with single-digit wins, but by reaching 10 wins so early in the season, they now have their sights on completing the season out of the cellar, which is a very proud accomplishment for any expansion club.
