Fire & Ice - A NBA 2K18 New Orleans Pelicans Story

[georgiafan]

My boy schroder went off even though 2k still needs to bump his ratings up some. On the Hawks trade is chandlers contract is 1year shorter then plumlee and that was one of the main reasons for the horrible Howard trade. Chandler can atleast get on the court that’s something plumlee cant. It would set the Hawks up to have some cap room after the 18/19 year espically if bazemore is traded.

I’m having a blast reading this and might Have to steal some of your trades for mine lol
