Spurstalk Fantasy Draft Rosters

[Rogue]

Sorry I wasn't there last night people & thanks for drafting for me anyway, i'll be here on friday.

Has Phila auto drafted someones you don't like? let me know if there are some, and I'll be very glad to have honest negotiations with you about roster moves.

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

Lineups sick! ha. Im willing to maybe trade for the diesel tho...harrington and someone else, pick. Again, don't know the game at all-last time i played a 2k was 07 on my ps3. Fantasy is my thing, but yea im just putting big guards/forwards out there, spreading the court-plus i had to get BD and jax-personal preference. This will be fun for a little while, but fantasy is where its at, that way everyone is on the same page-has the same information available to them and can use their bball knowledge as well as stats to pick a team. This draft would be so different if it was fantasy haha.

When was the last update they did for 2k9-after the season was over?

Trade Proposal:

Luis Scola for Trevor Ariza

Pucho!!! what do you think?

Ariza is overrated so it's a bad deal for you to purchase him at the expense of Scola. If you want a decent SF then I think Maggette is a nice option, Maggette looks ugly though.

[Chieflion]

It's Kevin Love. I've already PM'd Phila.

Nice pick. Kevin Love is an extremely good rebounder with a good outlet pass to start that freak fast break you have.

You just want Scola....

[Chieflion]

Come on guys, Millsap is available. Beasley is available. Any PG, SF, C up for grabs?

Is Bynum available?

Don't you think it would be a bargain for me if Scola could be had for Maggette?

[Chieflion]

Scola's defense is the pits. Your defense is already really lousy. Look for a center first. Scola would not get any burn on your team anyway. You got your boy in blue, Dirk and Blake Griffin.

agree as for the iverson and randolph part...but its not like there where no better options here and there...but I like seeing at least one team beeing build with an idea in mind...most if the teams are lookig like drafted by the PS3 or via a rating list

This is exactly our philosophy, we are building a team trying to mix quality players to get a good chemistry not thinking about 2k9 stuff. If it's true in 2k9 arenas has a better ranking than Bosh or even Iggy then this game is useless to properly evaluate a team.

The team is young with only 2 guys over 25 and he is leaded by a great player Billups. All we need now is to fix some weaknesses by trade or draft and we will have a contender for now AND for the future. On top of that we have a pretty good frontcourt as a foundation with Bosh / Bogut (this guy is underated he is a double double while shooting 58%, Bosh will have a lot space to play) / Millsap almost double double guy / Beasley.

[Brazil]

oh and props to the spurs team ! I like this team.

[Chieflion]

The one weakness with Pucho!!!'s team is that he has no proper center. Al Jefferson sucks at defending centers and Brad Miller does not do anything much except shooting that 16 foot jumper of his. Otherwise, it is all good.

yeah, you will winn the FT, 3Pt, Steals and Assist cats...wait! ITS NOT FANTASY AS YOU KNOW IT!!!

how about Nene instead of shaq for Al, someone else + pick?

[Chieflion]

I can't wait for the next 5 rounds, gonna be sweet.

[mudyez]

I can't wait for the next 5 rounds, gonna be sweet.

yeah, but not that important...there are a lot of good players available but with al of our stars, we would be stupid to let player 9to12 play more than 10 minutes the whole game

Still some more guys who can have huge roles. I have faith in them.

I wouldnt say, that I'm not looking forward to it, but I think the race wont change coz of these rounds (with the exception of the centerless team).

I think, Kobe and Carter should share about 80 minutes....Salmons gets the other 16...so why be excited about other wings drafted late?...its not even, that you have to fear injury!

Are you confusing me with Vivapopovich? I run the freaking Cavs.

[mudyez]

not saying that you are him ...just wanted to say, that its not that important anymore for everyone else

with your team its basically the same...who cares whos your 5th big man?

I wont break a sweat when someone is picking before me!

Having good role players is key, for me the last round is maybe the tougher one to manage, you need to fill your team need and think about trade opportunities. I wouldn't say you can ruin the potential of your team with those players but you can put your team on the good side of the contention if you are border.

[mudyez]

real teams shorten their playoff rosters for a reason...and they are living in a league where the talent is spread over 30 teams.
I think it can be fun to take kind of roleplayers, but I dont see these 4 picks playing a double digit number of minutes alltogether for me as I want Wade, Parker and Co as long on the field as possible to torch opposing 12th men.

[mudyez]

just to make it clear: I#m ll for roleplayers and so on...in real life those rounds are important....just not for the nba2k stuff


and yeah, even while focusing on that, I might get sweped out of the first round.

[Pucho!!!]

Trade Proposal:

Luis Scola for Trevor Ariza

Pucho!!! what do you think?

Sorry man, but no thanx. I have no need for scola. true I need sum bigmen on the bench, but I'm confident that I can get sum vet bigs in these last rounds. And for the person that underrates Ariza, u may not think he's so great, but for the way my team's built, he's perfect. He will be my perimeter defensive stopper. With the make up of my team, players can be mixed and matched to the coach Pops desires

[Pucho!!!]

The one weakness with Pucho!!!'s team is that he has no proper center. Al Jefferson sucks at defending centers and Brad Miller does not do anything much except shooting that 16 foot jumper of his. Otherwise, it is all good.

Although, 2k9 has Big Al has a PF, in reality, he is the Wolves C. He may not be that effective at guarding opposing Cs at the moment, but he's only 24, so he's got plenty of time to learn. In sayin that, he is my C and a true one if u watch his game and examine his skillset. I suggest we put up our startin 5, with positions marked, after we finish everything or we could now. I got brad miller becuz of his passing and shooting ability, allowing him with my other 2 bigs to be mixed and matched. True, his D is pretty weak, but like I said b4 my teams D is not predicated on any one player (much like the actual spurs) and instead on team defensive concept. Now, do I think Big Al is as good defensively as Duncan- NO! but do I think he could be one day esp if he played on a defensive minded team like the Spurs, maybe.

I drafted nelson cuz I wanted a speedy guard with excellent shooting ability and can easily penetrate any defense and I drafted Crawford as my 6th man, combo guard. We all still have 5 rds to go to c who's team is really the best, so once again good luck to all.
