    Here is my line up so you can scrutinize it and give me your opinions. Thanks in advance!

    PG: Rondo (Gold), Wall (Gold)
    SG: Klay Thompson (Emrald or Ruby I get them confused) Kobe (Old)
    SF: Melo (Gold), PG13 (Gold)
    PF: Worm, Dirk (Gold)
    C: Dikembe (Nuggs), Marc Gasol

    P.S. I like dominate big men especially on D. Any good moves I can make with 40K w/o giving up the rebounding from Dikembe and Rodman?
    I'd get LeBron, he's by far the best player in that price range. Emerald AD next. I'd consider starting Dirk of Rodman, you've got no spacing whatsoever with Rodman and Mutombo.

      Thanks for your input. AD intrigues me. I'll see what I can buy him at. As a pacer fan I have to stay away form Lebron. I can't bring myself to like him haha

        Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

        Who should be my first big purchase? I think I'm at the point where no player that can be bought for under 100k can significantly help my lineup. My line up is as follows, everyone gets minutes. I have 310k atm, and always try to have some kind of income.

        PG: Big O,Gary Payton,Stockton
        SG:Frobe,MJ
        SF:KD,Lebron,Mullin
        PF:Mailman,KG
        C:Shaq,Hakeem, Russell

          Get diamond Lillard, best PG in the game.

            Why not 3 players?

            Ruby Wade, Ruby Nowitzki (Scorer) & Ruby Thomas

            With a bit of patience and luck you can get all 3 for around 40k. There are no better DEF monsters than Dikembe & the Worm for cheap. Also great for cheap are Ruby Butler & Pau Gasol.

              This is arguable. Offensively he is very, very good. Defense is serviceable. Passing is okay.

              I was starting him until I got onyx oscar.

                Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

                My lineup is as follows:

                PG: Gold Curry, Gold Wall, Ruby Terry Porter
                SG: Gold Frobe, Gold Dumars, Gold Eddie Jones
                SF: Pink Diamond Melo, Gold Scottie Pippen, Gold Iggy
                PF: Gold Anthony Davis, Gold Rodman, Gold Aldridge
                C: Gold Alonzo Mourning

                Once I bought Pippen, my team has seem to come together. Pippen gives me someone who is tough defensively. I can stick him on LBJ or KD and not feel like I am going to get burned. I only have about 25K in MT, so it's not like I can just go out and buy studs. I have to work for my MT and be resourceful with who I purchase.

                I'm in the 4th seed on the RTTP, so hopefully I can win enough to get the Sapphire Wall.

                  I pulled the trigger on Emerald AD last night for 45K. I probably should have waited it out to see more of a trend but I couldn't help myself.

                  I will miss running rodman and dikembe out there together though.

                    Re: Whats your lineup/lineup help thread

                    After running into 4-5 teams in a row that had lebron, durant or jordan at point, which kept me from advancing to the 4th seed, i said f* it and did a bit of an overhaul. My own type of cheese, if you can even call it that since it's far from unstoppable. I prefer the term unorthodox.

                    pg: gold pg13 - silver mkg
                    sg: glen rice - silver vince carter
                    sf: onyx marion - michael cooper (or majerle)
                    pf: 95-96 rodman - silver john salley (or rambis/reggie evans)
                    c : saph brook lopez - ervin johnson (or birdman/dawkins/geiger/tree/...)

                    Starting unit gets about 14 mins and bench 6 mins. Rice is the go-to guy, usually around 20 points (37 in his debut for my "Boston Slackers"). Then of course george can take over whenever needed. Sapphire lopez may just be the most underrated center in this game. Marion does it all on both ends of the court and rodman's always in the right place at the right time. The best part though is rebounding and defense. Went 7-1 with this lineup, most of my opponents had superteams (all 90+, others all 85+), some were suckers but i also managed to beat some good players. Even made a couple of them rage quit.

                    This lineup is almost perfect for me until i get onyx ray ray to replace rice one of these days and eventually onyx carter, that's a long ways away though. BUT, for now i would like a taller version of rodman to counter the 2 center lineups. Basically a 6'10 (or taller) player who hustles, rebounds AND has a chance at guarding lebron/durant/melo as well as hakeem/shaq and everyone in between. Offense or lack thereof doesn't matter. The only one i can think of is bill russel and he's too expensive, anybody else? Preferably under 10-15k but any suggestion is welcome.

                      Emerald AD, though he's out of that price range. Not sure if the gold can keep up, I'd guess he's a little slow. Ruby KG is the only other guy I can think of.

                        Problem with Ruby KG is his stamina gets in the way of running him long minutes. I would recommend Larry Johnson. He is a big body with enough quickness not to get burned by the faster stretch 4's. Also, he can rebound like a champ. He's not really taller than Rodman, but his strength usually helps him out against bigger guys. If you're wanting to run something to combat the people running two centers, you could try the same. There are some great cheap centers out there that can hold their own in the PF position. Noah would work. Hornets Alonzo would do well also. Nene, although a silver, is a defensive beast with some serious strength. He does lack some quickness though.

                          Nique was a little out of my price range but I found a 98 rated Magic with all gold badges for about 100k. I was already deep at PG but I could probably play him at any position and he'll do well.

                            This is my current best lineup

                            Ruby Magic, Sapphire Big O, Sapp Stockton
                            Lebron James, Sapphire Jordan, Sapp Demar Derozan
                            Diamond Durant, Sapphire Drexler,
                            Sapphire Hakeem, Sapphire Russell, Sapphire K Malone
                            Pink Diamond Shaq, Sapphire Wilt, Sapp Robinson

                            I have about 410k MT on XBone and after i sell everything i dont want could probably get to 500k. I am strongly considering getting 89 Jordan, because he is a "One of a Kind". He was one of my favorite players growing up and my first memory watching basketball at 7 or 8 was the 98 finals, then i started playing basketball that fall.

                            Should i spend the rest of my money on that Jordan, or is there someone else i should get? Sapphire Jordan is good but i want a 99 rated Jordan for my starting lineup. Also do you think he will come down much more? I have seen him for around 480k, but i would love to pay a lot less and have the option of getting some other players that i love

                              Completely depends on how you want to play, you already have a stacked team and if you're saying this is your best lineup, why changing it? Personally, I don't like playing with diamond Durant so I'd move Lebron on the 3 and try to get a better SG, for 600k you could get Onyx Kobe, which I really like, or maybe onyx Vince. You could also just wait for T-Mac drop to 600k.

                              Also, I would consider using a different bench PF over Russell. Currently I use Sapph Kemp, he has a nice shot, even hits threes for me, grabs a lot of boards and is perfect for the pick & roll. I can't get anything to fall with Russell, his hookshot seems broken, he can't fade and has no midrange.
