Crawford & Brand Gawn for Twan & Stephawn

Well the winds of change have continued to sweep through the Confusion Makers Camp with a trade confirmed betwen GMs DuffMan and Smart. In this deal GM Smart sends Jamal Crawford and Elton Brand to the NHW and in turn receives Antione Walker and Stephon Marbury.

When asked about the deal GM Hodges had this to say :
GM Hodges : We are pleased to announce the additions of Elton Brand and Jamal Crawford to the ranks of NWH. We feel that this trade will add depth and a team focus that previously had not been present in NWH to the degree which we would have hoped for.

GM Hodges : To be honest I haven't seen either of these boys play. Hell I don't give two sh*ts about basketball I just have to find ways of spending the billions that I make from my oil ventures (Chelsea reference here). If these guys turn out to be duds then I'll just have them killed ! What did impress me about them is the night I saw them out clubbing. Obviously being overweight and having a stupid name like Elton, Mr Brand struggles with the ladies somewhat. Enter 'too smoov' Crawford with leather clad outfit, diamond earring and a first name that is a guaranteed panty remover he laid the tracks and had Mr Brand scooping up the left overs. It was a partnership made in heaven, Jamal snagging the stunner and Brand taking on the obligatory guard dogs without any complaints. I thought to myself, hey if they work this well on the court together as well then this could help lift NHW lift the Davis Cup at seasons end.

GM Hodges : Unfortunately however I can not offer such positive comments about Messieurs Marbury and Walker. Straight up Marbury's foot odour is an absolute disgrace ! Poor Michael Redd hasn't been able to hold down one room service meal and hasn't been able to con any puntang to come in any further than the hotel door for the foul stench Stephon's shoes make. We at NWH believe that player happiness is paramount and as such had to find Mr Marbury a new home so as to enable Michael to eat and root as a good professional basketball player should. I just hope Carter has a gas mask ! Now as for Antione, well we had to send him 'walking' for disciplinary reasons. He fancied himself as the practical joker of the team and while we were willing to put up with the toothpaste he placed on a sleeping Ron Artest's balls, the continual late night fast food deliveries that 'mysteriously' arrived on the door step of Coach Brown's room, we drew the line at the 'hide the sh*t' prank that he pulled on Jermaine which quite frankly was done in poor taste.

There was poor old Jermaine about to shampoo his hair when out oozes Antione's curry from the previous night. No wonder Jermaine had an off shooting night the next game, he had been sitting with his hand in a bucket of detol for 27 hours and that rendered his muscles practically useless.

We like to run a tight ship at NWH and we hope that we have sent a clear message that the usage of any bodily waste in any practical joke is clearly overstepping the line. Hopefully GM Base will keep a tight leash on this one.

We managed to track down GM Smart in Mint, a nightclub in Buenos Aires with the most amazing looking women in sub-Colombian South America, still dancing at 9:30 on Sunday morning. In a cocaine induced haze, Smart said, "Who's Stephon Marbury and Antoine Walker? Are they carrying, I'm all out?"

I love this game.
