    Looking to upgrade Drummond. Any ideas anyone? I'd be looking to drop maybe 50k

    And for those who do alot of MTO, how does Marion perform at the 3. I'm thinking of putting Bron back at the 4.
    Ruby AD will be under 50k very soon and he is probably a game changer. He can play the 5 for uptempo teams. Could get bullied by very strong centers but for the most part you'll be fine. Just keep a 3rd cheap center like Emerald Drummond or Whiteside for emergencies.

    As for Marion at the 3, I finished MTO with him there. He'll be in the corners a lot for 3s and he can actually create in the post (spins and close hooks) against SFs. You also get a rebounding advantage because he'll grab the long rebounds over any perimeter player. Most of all I like him there to capitalize on his defensive abilities on the perimeter where he can lockdown any wing rather than keeping him in the paint.

      Ditto that. The bigger issue is probably rebounding, not necessarily post defense.

      For post defense, he can be exploited, but the main exploit is of his lower Strength, which means relentlessly backing him down all the way to the rim, and particularly to throw down a Standing Dunk.

      I don't think a lot of guys are going to do that. And, to a certain extent, Shaq can back most everyone down all the way, so one should be prepared to consider double-teaming on Dig with very mobile/Steal-high wing defenders who can recover back to their assignment if Shaq passes out.

      Plus, while AD would give up buckets to Shaq, he will also gain buckets due to fast breaks and exploding past Shaq on cuts to the basket.

      As for Marion at the 3, I finished MTO with him there. He'll be in the corners a lot for 3s and he can actually create in the post (spins and close hooks) against SFs.

      Yeah, I agree. His not-high Strength caps his effectiveness defensively and offensively in the paint, as does his 6'6" height. And his high Lateral Quickness is best employed on the perimeter.

      So he suits the 3 the best but can actually be easily justified as a 2 right now. I've been running a lot of: MRR - Marion - Walker - Smoove - Edwards.

        If anyone needs a budget PG pick up emerald Penny Hardway. It just isnt fair what this guy does. 6'7 PG with great dribble animations, speed, dunks on freaking anybody, plays even very good D since he is so oversized. I am destroying everything in my path with him.

          Penny is the only emerald that makes my squad, this man speaks the truth, not sure how he's an emerald with his stats, they look more sapphireish to me, but still... If you compare him to Steph Curry he comes out on top in multiple spots

            Penny is the best almost-ruby PG in the game, so versatile and consistent. With the right shoes yo can turn him into a monster on the offensive end since he's so tall.

                    Depends on what style you play obviously but indeed I would not recommend him for gauntlet. I'm still doing historic domination and don't want to spend much of my 200k MT on expensive players. I sniped him for 6k and decided to give him a try and I love him. He is not a physical beast like Cousins but hooks, fades, drop steps and mid range are great for a 'budget' center.

                      My current lineup is below.



                      I've used most of this team to get to 9-3 in MyTeam online so far. I try to just alternate between the starting lineup and the first 5 off the bench, with Brooks, LeBron, and Haslem coming in for spot minutes. LeBron was my backup 4 but it's hard to use him in MyTeam online with his lack of shooting ability. It's working pretty well as it really spreads opponents out and makes them guard everyone since every player is a threat to score, but I do have trouble defending at times.

                      At this point, I'm just grinding away in MyTeam online and Blacktop to try to get some of the other Amethyst and Diamond reward cards (Steve Francis and Ben Wallace being my next targets), so hopefully I can improve my lineup with some of those guys soon. Other than that, I'm going to try to be patient as I want to add Diamond Manu Ginobili to my team when the Spurs pack comes out.

                        If what you're doing is working, then by all means, stick with it.

                        But be mindful of the fact that, with Bosh and Antonio Davis, you're running with two "Centers" with 75 and 80 Strength, respectively. A cheap Current card like Boogie could just back them down under the rim and dropstep them at will.

                        Many will not play that way, but you should probably carry at least one true big Center on your lineup in order to be able to reply to that tactic.

                          Just got Amythyst Mashburn, he seems.... underwhelming, but useful. What are you guys doing with him, he's a 6'8" SF that seems to rely on his post game. Anyone using him at the 4? He probably can defend stretch 4's alright but legit 4's like LJ I think would destroy him. I haven't played a game with him yet but I've used him a decent amount of times in blacktop i'd best describe him as reliable but mediocre from my experience

                                I really didn't like Marion at 4. He can handle himself ok but he works much better at 3 to me. I lost quite a few games in a row in MTO with him at 4. Got ruby Mcadoo at 4 now and playing a lot better.

                                He can't dribble but he's a great shooter. He destroys slower, sharp shooting 3s and is such a great perimeter and interior defender that having him playing down low is a waste of his talent imo.
