A very Knicks move to make trading the 1st pick for a star however if that helps them land a big name in FA it will easily worth it.

I like the swap of MB for Reddish as I believe the Kings had to many bigs. My man Bol Bol going to the Celtics to replace Al eventually. Blazers will be a interesting team rebuilding with Zion.

The suns can be a major player in FA now with Anderson moved off the books

Also smart move by not overloading the draft with them to be overkill and mixing them in with the regular draft class. If I could make a request for a player who didn't live up to expectations bc injury big country Reeves.

I like how even players taken in the 20's are in the 70's to much last year those guys was high 60's so I would have to go back and edit their potentials or overall rating.

Have you noticed if players stashed overseas is still OP ?

They are if their peak starts and ends are crazy -- 2K sticks those guys in a range of like 28-36.



Edit them down (and it's so quick and easy to go through every team and do that -- you can sort by highest peak start and just drop them down from there) to something more sane (25-32, 24-30) and you're solid.



My personal rule is make sure most peaks occur before or just after 25 -- so 23-26, with most peak ends being 32 (with exceptions made for rare/unique talents).



As for the draft, yeah, everything worked out for the Mavs -- I was going to pick whatever team landed on Barkley and it looked like it would be Charlotte, but the Mavs just got in the top-5 and will have to forfeit their 2020 pick to Atlanta, but they're totally fine with that.


With Barkley on that roster, I think Dallas can be a playoff squad, but every team in the West thinks that, lol.

Re: Rebirth: A 2K19 MyLeague








Ch. 2


Charles Barkley came back for one reason and one reason alone — a damned ring. Everyone held it against him, everyone talked about it and had for decades. “Oh, Chuck, you were a great player, but it’s too bad you didn’t get a ring.” If it wasn’t about the ring, it was about his weight, and he couldn’t do much about that after his playing days (other than starve for damned commercial endorsements).


He had tried to beat Michael Jordan in his prime, and failed. He had tried to join up with Hakeem and Clyde, and failed. If he was honest — and he was many things, but especially that — the last five or so years he had in the NBA were depressing as hell. Never enough. Never good enough.


He had fallen into a bit of a depression, drank, ate, generally screwed around in the final years of his career … he just didn’t have the will to fight it off anymore. Why bother playing when someone else was going to win the damned thing anyway?


It had taken him years away from his career to realize his mistakes. His pitfalls. His damned nonsense that cost him a title. If he was just smarter and a lot more dedicated, he could have won the whole thing at least once. If he had taken care of himself, he could have lasted long enough to win a ring … he looked at a guy like Karl Malone and though, yeah, Karl was a workout psycho, he also kept at it. Day in, day out. Same routine.


This time it would be different. This time, he was going to get that ring. This time, he wasn’t going to sit idly if management *ucked up. No, it was a different age and he had far more power as a player now than he ever did before. This time, he’d make sure that things went his way and he’d start first by taking care of his damned self, and then wrecking anyone who got his face.


But before he could torture the league, he had to go through torture himself.


The shrill of a loud whistle cut through the air and his trainer, a former Olympic volleyball player (and a damned fine looking lady too) strolled on over, hands on her hips, smirk on her face. “You good?”


Sweat pouring him off like he had decided to take a shower and hop out halfway through, Charles willed himself to stand up straight. “*uck, Lucy, you gonna give a fat kid a break?”


You’re not a fat kid anymore.” She playfully poked at his stomach. “We got you under 250 for the draft and now we need to build your core. You get your core right, you’ll be right a long time.”


The only core I wanna see is the core at the center of a caramel apple.”


She shook her head and pointed at the medicine ball beside him. “Let’s go again.”


For a brief moment, he considered telling her off and walking out. Back in his first rookie year, he had tried to eat himself out of Philly — they had picked him anyway in the draft. It wasn’t exactly a shining moment. Over his subsequent career, he had endured all sorts of insults — racial, physical, any kind — and had taken all kinds of *hit from players, coaches, fans, media, and executives alike.


They all thought of him as a fat slob and sure, he might have been that the last few years of his career. He was definitely that on TV but there he didn’t need to pull down 20 boards a night for his team to have a shot at winning.


He had a second chance now. He was sure as hell he didn’t deserve it, but he would make the most of it as long as he had it.


Taking a deep breath he picked up the medicine ball, felt every muscle in his body tense for an incoming dose of pain, and nodded his head. “Let’s get this *ucking done.”

Team Preview: 76ers
By Sasha Williams




The 76ers exceeded all expectations last season and did what few expected so soon — they beat Kawhi, beat the Bucks, and made an exciting appearance in the Finals against the Rockets — where they were promptly swept by the veteran laden team, giving Harden, Paul, and Anthony the rings they so desperately wanted. James Harden said it best after the game:


Those guys over there, they’re where I was at with OKC in 2012 … they’re coming, as long as the front office keeps it together.”


Stacked with a roster led by Emiid, Ben Simmons, and Fultz, the future for Philly is bright but is — as Harden alluded to — reliant on the front office not underplaying or overplaying its hand. Over the summer Philly didn’t make many improvements, bringing back the bulk of their previous season’s roster with not a single “big” addition; Philly has ample cap space to make a move during the season, however, and will be sniffing around certain teams to see if they can snatch that one player that could elevate them.


The goal of the 76ers this season is simple: title or bust. With the return of so many players and their success in last year’s playoffs (at least in the East), a return to the championship series is seen less as an obstacle and more as a given.

Barkley chasing a ring will be a good story

Its a shame they took out the screen where you could easily see the ratings and overalls that's my biggest gripe of the game so far.

The 76ers are going to have to find a way to make a move with a trade as I believe they have to pay a few of the young guys now so the cap space will be gone. Roco's rating has dropped some I believe he is a s 79 on default rosters. Fultz it seems progresses nicely

Yeah, RobCo dropped to a 75 over the offseason due to injury+regression, so he's overpaid at this point -- I do miss that salary screen a bunch, it really conveyed a ton of information.


Barkley chasing a ring is great motivation, he also wants to get back at certain modern players (looking at you Draymond), so expect some fireworks there.

Re: Rebirth: A 2K19 MyLeague

Team Preview: Bucks
By Sasha Williams







The Bucks had a highly successful season last year, getting to the ECF and putting on a show in Game 1 before Eric Bledsoe broke his ankle — the Bucks lost that game late, then got swept, and the importance of the point guard (questioned throughout the season with Brogdon there) was reinforced. Milwaukee watched Philly get demolished in the Finals, but knew that it would have put up a better challenge.



The Bucks had many questions in the offseason, namely Bledsoe and Brogdon, both free agents. Both players took solid deals (Bledose 2yr/15M, Brogdon 3yr/21M) and that helped the Bucks avoid going too deep into the cap — beyond that, the Bucks brought back Brook Lopez and let Tyler Zeller walk as the Milwaukee front office and coaching staff are confident Thon Maker is ready for more minutes. The Bucks also cut DJ Wilson, putting the young player’s career in jeopardy as he remained unsigned throughout the summer.



The biggest improvement to the Bucks will be additional experience in Coach Bud’s system as they expect to compete for the conference title — winning now is foremost on their mind.



Team Preview: Bulls
By Sasha Williams







The Bulls were not a good team last year, but they are young; that’s a plus and minus, as the Bulls are betting on that youth to develop. After the Jabari Parker experiment failed to produce wins (but did get Parker some nice stats), the Bulls moved on and refocused their efforts on development of their youth.



Over the summer the Bulls front office made three key moves — they drafted Doumbouya (lovingly nicknamed “Doctor Doom”), signed Wade Baldwin for a one year deal, and elevated Wendall Carter to a starter while letting veteran Robin Lopez walk.



Chicago’s objective for this year: entertain the fans, develop the youth, and avoid injuries. If Chicago can do that and show improvement, they might have a chance to capture a major free agent next summer with their large amount of cap space. Chicago may also be able to swing a trade for a major star and the rumor mill consistently attaches Anthony Davis to the Bulls, which makes so much sense it’s probably a smoke screen.




Team Preview: Cavs
By Sasha Williams







The Cavs are without LeBron but his fingerprints are still all over this roster — with a mismash of parts only LeBron could make into a functional playoff team, Cleveland fell out of the postseason last year, winning only 28 games, and managed to retain their draft pick thanks to protections — a small consolation price in an otherwise awful season.



In the summer Cleveland drafted promising wing Nasir Little, who can fill it up and has enough measurables to convince many scouts he can develop into a plus defender. Otherwise, with little cap space (thanks to JR Smith and Tristan Thompson, two veterans expected to be elsewhere next season), the Cavs were locked out of the free agent market this summer. They brought back Larry Nance JR on a reasonable deal and are in contract talks with Jordan Clarkson, but otherwise the Cavs are expected to convey that 1st round pick this summer and Cleveland hopes it isn’t high.



Cleveland’s trying to compete in a weaker East with Kevin Love as the star of the show, but it’s Colin Sexton who’s the future — the sophomore put up a very good rookie line of 17.5 PPG, 4.1 APG, on 44% shooting and 36% from deep — if Sexton can improve on that, than at least the Cavs faithful will be able to look forward to something down the line.

Re: Rebirth: A 2K19 MyLeague

Team Preview: Celtics
By Sasha Williams







The Celtics made it only to the second round last season, losing in seven to the 76ers. It wasn’t exactly a disappointment but it also wasn’t a great thing either — Boston, with all its talent, had its sights set on the Finals. Integrating Gordon Hayward back into the roster proved easier in the regular season than in the playoffs, and that process takes on a new dimension this season as Hayward is slotted to be the super-sixth man off the bench for the Celtics — and has a player option many executives around the league believes he’ll decline next summer to be become a free agent.



Over the summer the Celtics used their bounty of draft picks to pick up two rookies, Bol Bol and Cecil Gale, while re-signing Irving to a 5yr/153M deal and Rozier to a 3yr/21M dollar deal. Boston made no additional additions, and let Marcus Morris leave in free agency along with Daniel Theis to free up play time for their younger players.



This year could mark the last for this version of the Celtics; with Hayward possibly leaving next summer, Horford getting older, and Brown/Tatum seizing their starting positions, this Boston team is primed for a title or bust year — whether they get there or not depends entirely on their health and their ability to close out a series in the playoffs.









Team Preview: Clippers
By Sasha Williams







The Clippers were just bad enough last season to get their draft pick back, but now owe the Celtics their 2020 first without any hopes of getting it back — LAC used their offseason to good effect, revamping the team in major ways.



Over the summer the Clippers brought in DeMarcus Cousins, coming of a year where he started and starred for the Warriors with 22 PPG and 12 RPG. Cousins was a force, dominating the paint, but will ultimately carry some of the blame for the Warriors losing in WCF. He joins a Clippers roster that features the returning Patrick Beverly, the addition of first round pick Campy Russell, and the re-signing of Tobias Harris. In order to clear out enough cap to sign Cousins (without giving up another asset), the Clippers moved on from Jerome Robinson.







The goal for the Clippers this season is to compete for the playoffs (and fans in LA). The Clippers had their rebuilding year and have loaded with effective veterans and exciting youth … the question is whether Doc Rivers can make that all work together as the success of the Lob City Clippers fades into history.



Team Preview: Grizzlies
By Sasha Williams







The Grizzlies did not have a good year last season, primarily due to the age of their veterans and the youth of Jaren Jackson JR. But the losing resulted in Memphis nabbing the second overall pick and the Grizzlies didn’t hesitate to pull the trigger on RJ Barrett.



The Grizzlies now feature two of most promising young talents in the league in Jackson and Barrett — Jackson, in particular, showed well in his rookie season with 12.1 PPG and 7.1 RPG on only 27 minutes a night. Marc Gasol re-signed to a team-friendly deal over the next three years (with a no trade clause, which Memphis was happy to grant) and Mike Conley is in talks for a similar deal after a 23.5 PPG season that saw him average highs in points, and points.


The goal for the Grizzlies is to compete for the playoffs and continue to shepherd their young talent along while keeping their veterans happy and healthy as possible. With their 2020 draft pick forfeit to the Celtics, it’s in Memphis best interest to win as much as possible.
