Jax is better and even though he might not fit the team very well, he can be traded.
yeah, everything is ok...just wanted to say, that it doesnt make sense if you trade your lonely center (I dont bye the murphy at center stuff) for an backup to your 2 best players. he will get owned even though nba2k loves Melo!
btw.: holc...any way to get Granger for Parker now that you have your wings packed?...I mean, you want to run an gun...put barron at the 2 and run with the quickest guy in the game!
make a proposal!
yeah, I will stop telling him, that he gets owned! sorry!
Jax is a better player than Chandler. Jax does not fit his team, because he already has SF's packed. But he is the better player and he could move him again.
tell nb2k9 that it has to take the teams 3 years from now!!!
it doesnt matter how young a team is...after all it even kills you coz they are inexperienced!
with zero trades happening before and nothing like salaries which could intice GM's to make deals, it doesnt seem like the chances are high, that he will be moved again
The trade is ok if he decides to take only centers with his remaining picks from now on, but even then he wont get far!
btw.: nba2k9 loves chandler as it does love melo (and for that matter nene, dirk and for whatever reason nate robinson)...you see these guys making it to the championship a lot of times even with scrubs surrounding them...its really funny as I'm always simming until I have a must win game or the shot to win the finals...and these are the players I always meat in the finals, beeing surprised how weak the teams basically are
I guess players like that always are in the games....in NBA 9something' it was Finlay and Shareef....average stats but major success while simulating!
trades fine with me-Im planning on playing small ball-or just using Murphy/lee as my center.
Probably go
Baron
SJax
Granger
Melo
Lee/murphy
Lee/murphy
bibby
harrington
I realize its small but granger/melo/jax are all big boys who can board. If anyone is looking for a sf in harrington??? dont know his 2k9 rating but hes 20 and 6 guy
seriously, Gay + my 10th round pick for Shaq and Marion?
I might be interested in Harrington...make me a proposal!
f you make it a 9th, I might think about it
seriously?
I'm not saying I'll do it...but if you put the 9th into the bucket, I will cosider it and tray to weigh my options with that lineup.
mudyez-yea ill try to think of something.
Does anyone know where I can find the nba 2k9 updated player ratings? Would be nice to see what the ive drafted, lmaoo. I almost was tempted to go rent it but was over it. thanks to anyone who has some info
My mail box is wide open to any offer for Calderon or J-Rich.
dont overvalue the ratings...ok, its nice to have something to put them in order but finally we ae doing a 15 team draft...no team....I mean NO TEAM (not even a team builfor defense only)! will have problems scoring the ball...we all will have problems with sharing the rock...look for PPG to drop for every single players...so its about efficiency and defense
o.g.: if you have a guy like AI on your team its worth nothing, coz there should be at least 3 other stars beeing more efficient scoring points. It helps having efficient first, second and third options but after that you shouldnt look at a guy and say: hey, AI has a 87 while Shne Battier might help you more even while he hs a 80 or 81 (I dont know).
The game isnt the smartest when it comes to simulating games (you actually dont need a position defender + a shotblocker down low and the game doesnt care about spacing if you have a low post freak like Howard or guys like Parker) but the mechanics still are, that there is only one ball with games beeing in the 80s a lot more often than we might thing with all the offense power!
btw.: I'd like to add little story, which happened with something like NBA live 95 or a little later (but pre duncan)...
I wanted to see how much points I could get out of the Admiral, therefore putting him on the court with (11)PG's which had high Assist ratings, while scoring only a few points (I figured out, that the Admiral would have to do the job himself)...guys like AJ fit that bill and I found others too...even at PF
the result: these guys put on ok Assist numbers while David did well but not like scoring 40 points (I think around 30)....the team sucked to no surprise but now here comes the really interesting thing:
The Team had more Assists than Fieldgoals made in the season!!!
LOL
I think after about 15 years and another game(2k instead of live), it might be better, but its not like the game was made for simulating....it was made for playing! So dont expect too much out of it. As I said: while simulating seasons, there where often really weak teams, making it to the finals:
without fantasie draft I had these 3 teams making it to the finals in 3 out of 3 seasons (starting new...playing myself with MIA or SA): OKC, CHA, MEM...no kidding! ok, Spurs, CLE and Lakers are doing fine(BOS and ORL not), and getting top seeds, but in the playoffs it often seems like its a lotterie...#1s get upset like 1 out of 3 and so on! you very rarely see the best teams winnign it all!
Wouldnt even surprise my to see the magic winning it all (no offense to them, but they are the weakes while youngest team....they get my vote for young gunz!).
As much as I like building the teams, id doesnt make much sense celebrating, that yo might have gotten the spacing PF you needed to complement you lowpost Center...the game doesnt care!!!
You get Lewis and Martin to complement LeBron?...great idea....LeBron will score less coz they will without compensation on defense. It sux, but its the way it is. the game cares about efficiency!
So if you see a 88Rating watch out where its coming from! after all it makes a lot of sense to go listen to your stomache!
Do I use the ratings? Yeah, I do! but finaly I'm asking myself the question: Does the game like that player in a 15 team league with every team having 2 allstars? I'd go for Bell instead if AI, I'd go for Battier instead of whoever has a good overall rating which comes from shooting.
BTW.: the games really likes awareness stats...which is usualy better for older players...so if there is no "young gunz" voting, its deproductive to go young.
so tell nba2k that!
I'm sure the game will care about monta beeing a nice sidekick to that upset 2,5 years ago!
I don't play 2k9, and I ain't drafting for it. I'm sticking with the original concept, that is drafting the best team for now and tomorrow, as GM's would do today if they had to.You get Lewis and Martin to complement LeBron?...great idea....LeBron will score less coz they will without compensation on defense. It sux, but its the way it is. the game cares about efficiency!
If it turns out on 2k9 I suck so be it. Hopefully though, we'll have some discussion on which teams would be the best on a basketball court, not a computer game.... hypothetically anyway...lol...
Looking for a Small Forward or Center for Paul Millsap or Michael Beasley.
Yep I agree with this post. Video game rosters are a anyway. By the way, looking at my lineup, I should trade for players whose last names are Bs so that we would have a Bs squad.

Hi guys! First off I wanted to announce, that any player except Wade can be had for a fair price! Just pm me! I'll listen to you!
here are my thoughts and maybe proposes:
Wizards:
Basically you cant fail with building around LeBron, even if every pick is autopicked and every single time the others try to skrew you. overall I think they need. a little bit to much offense with martin, lewis and mo in the starting lineup. I'm not interested in any of hi players (at least not the ones that should be available)
Clippers:
Run and Gun with CP3. always thought that I would get CP3 with the 6th pick so it might have been a reach. Didnt want him as its boring to build around a great PG. He just did what he had to do (actually we did it) and surounded him with athletic players. Why propose a deal to a GM that never shows up?
Pacers:
its a little to much scoring and not enought rebounding and so on...Carter and Kobe need the ball in their hands, so where does it leave Nash...ould be fun to watch the team though! I'd like to do a deal for Diaw...aybe involving Shaq (but not straight up). So let me know!
76ers:
I kind of dont understand the team. Building around D12 should be fun, but doesnt look like a team with an iden y. PG's that run and are not great shooters, old players on key positions. young players on others. It may work in NBA2k but for me there is no real idea behind that team as of right now. Its like someone went BPA every single time. Philly knows that I like Allen and Josh, but I dont think, we can work something out. Might be interested in Monta too, if I would include Parker. But if so, something more would have to go my way.
Magic:
OK, not a win now team, but great for the future (whatever its worth for). Dont like that he took Scola over some nice young players (e.g. Green). He just doesnt fit in with the others. After all its agood start if you think future, I just dont thing, that that will mean much! Interest in players from me isntworth much, as my younger players are to old for him anyway. Not that interested anyway (aside from Rondo and KD) anyway.
Spurs:
I really like that squad. Good players, that fit each other pretty well. Overall the team is caught a little bit in between defense/offense iden y but should be fine. My bet to win it! Interest in Manu, Ariza and BigAl. BigAl wont be available I guess. Wouldnt give up Parker for Manu but if you have something else in mind let me know. Ariza might be interesting for me.
Lakers:
They need a Center!!! Dirk isnt a real one, as Griffin isnt (maybe for some minutes but not a whole game). The other positions are nice but nothing special. I'd like to listen to deals für J-Rich, Maggette and Gay. Even might add a Parker for Kidd part if its vor the right guys. Call me!
Warriors:
My second bet to win it all (the West is hard damit). Well build team overall. You have TD + 2 defense guys and 2 kind of star guys which had difficultseasons. Solid bench. Interest in: Okur, Hinrich and Harris! Let me know if you have someone in mind for any of them!
Rockets:
I dont like the PG's as starters...Arenas is a shoot first PG but not a SG. The froncourt is nice. Overall a nice team, but needs to get rid of Arenas or DWill (which wont happen). Arenas als is the guy, I'd like to talk bout, but I dont see us working something out, that makes real sense. Listeneing to anything incuding Brand and Peja too.
Cavs:
Solid team. In terms of stars it looks really weak, as Bosh is the only guy, that really pops out (and I think of him as a secoundrounder). I like the whole mix, but in terms ofoverall talent its not looking that great as Bogut, EGordon and Iggy where reaches. I'd like to talk about Bogut or Bosh (guess Bosh wont go anywhere)!
Bulls:
Major skrewup! No offense but after round 8 this team has no center and only one banger as PF. Smallball is nice and all(not in 2k) but this team doesnt make sense at all. I like Melo and Granger (had them together in such a thing too once) but B-Diddy isnt the PG to go with them (I had Nash) and the frontcourt is a mess. I'm willing to talk about Granger or Harrington. Maybe you could even get Shaq, which would rescue the lineup.
Hawks:
Until the Curry pick I really liked them. A lot of weapons(might need a second ball) even though I dont like the defense. Have to like the frontcourt. Artest was a reach even without character issues. overall the guards look nice but dont suit the frontcourt. just too young...at least one experienced PG would have been better. Not that interested in any of his players aside from Biedrins. would like to talk about him!
Kings:
Wow: no over the top star (Gasol was his first pick, Butler his second), no iden y (youngs and olds, defense and offense), average defense. 2k likes JO a little but overall they could be worse than the Magic!
Interest in Butler and Pau, but it will be hard to work something out as I didnt see them that high. Shaq+filler for Pau might be interesting and could give him kind of an iden y.
Bobcats:
I just dont see the idea! KG+Roy was grea to start with. But the whole linup kind of makes my head ache...dont even know why as its not that bad and I like a lot of these guys (Horford and Westbrook are some of my favs in the whole league). Just cant say anything about them. They are an ok team. I'd like to speak about something involving Parker for Roy (would have to throw in a little) or something involving Parker for KG (would throw in a lot for that to happen). Would like to speak about that!
Of course my team has little star power, but everyone on the team knows their roles and have the ability to maximize their potential by doing so.
I'm not questioning thate they like each other and my play nicely (aside from Barbosa they are nice guys I believe)...But last time I checked it was about winning games.
Having a fice fit helps you win more games then having Allen Iverson or Zach Randolph on your team.
