Central City and the Wolves rivalry may have just exceeded any other rivalry in the Southwest Division after former Small Forward Dimo Watkins agreed on transferring to Dayton for Steven Jackson. This trade was finalized after Watkins declared a trade 2 weeks ago.
"Really? Who would want to leave the #1 team in the league to head towards a team who sits at the bottom of the poll? Watkins stated after accepting the offer from Dayton's head coach Tim Burress. I am more than a role player, and a bench warmer that Central City is trying to turn me
into it". The biggest question is how Watkins will mold into the team of Dayton who has just finally started to find themselves playing as one. Now with a new player who has came and cracked the starting position bumping Mike Wells from the three spot. "All I know is he better show me something our next game against Sacramento or Coach will hear about this" Mike Wells started walking from the coach's office. "I know Wells thinks he is the best for that position but let's face it Watkins was a breakout star last year, why isn't he gaining the position he deserves? My goal is to bring back the same team we had in the beginning to mark our names in the book like we should have back in 2011-2012" Dayton Wolves Head Coach Tim Burress.
Although some may dislike Watkins decision, nobody carries hate as his own brother who currently star's for Central City. Nate Watkins (#5 PG) is sure the go-to-guy for the Knights leading the team to the best record in the league right now (9-1) recently defeating the Orlando Yellowjackets 74-67 last Monday. Last season these two brothers started Central City together only for they're dreams to be crushed early falling out of Nationals first round as well as losing in the 2nd round of Conference. "We made a vow to win it this year, but I guess promises are like brother bonds" Tyreece youngest of the two a couple of days after the finalization of the trade. One can only imagine what those words really meant.
With this trade it will only be a matter of weeks before we will be able to see if Dayton made the right move of trading Jackson. A player who has not recorded a single minute thus far in the league was granted a starting role in seconds. Tim Burress bumps Wells a player who has earned his starting role off the starting 5, then sacrificed a player who has given Dayton advantages in numerous in game occasions for who? If you ask me, Coach can let this plan backfire if he wants to, and will find himself paying for tickets instead of to sell them.
