What has been expected for days, finally went down last night. At 8:27 this morning, I received a BBM from Commissioner Paul Rivera that said it all: 'We Have A Trade.' Here's how it broke down:
Shox sends Jason Burke and Dao Yi Chow to Air Force 1 for Christian Grant-Fields and Stalley.
According to the Commissioner, the trade is effective immediately, and the players involved will be playing with their new teams tonight. From what I've gathered, the tempered big man was subject of many possible trades, but Shox decided to get back as much talent as they could for Burke.
Looking at the rosters for both teams, this appears to be a win-win situation. Shox now rolls out a potential starting lineup of Justin Leonard, Stalley, Pat Cassidy, J.J. Jensen and Grant-Fields, while Air Force 1 could feature a starting five of Rivera, Brandon Smith, Chris Dowling, Ben Detrick and Burke.
