You have Francis and soon KJ at PG, why would you go for Magic? He is great, don't get me wrong, but you could use the MT for upgrades at other positions. Try to finish historic domination and choose Jerry Lucas. He is the same type of player as Love but much much better.

im stuck on last team lol.. cant get the points need a couple better players. so im thinking ruby lebron now. i need a stunner at small forward.

How much MT do you have? Ruby Hamilton and Ruby AD are cheap 2 way players. Cooper is nice for the bench but not reliable on offense because of his low offensive consistency. Swap Bogut with Mutombo. He has HOF rim protector and defensive anchor. If you need MT sell Love and put Horry in your starting lineup. He plays way better than his ratings and was my main scorer in domination.

when i get home from work after working auction house a little i should be around 15,000 and then the new challenges should come out. so realistically by tonight i should have some 20,000.

i really need help beating historic domination. it is really pissing me off. and which mutumbo we talking about??? sixers or nuggets?

yeah i only cooper for open 3's and d.. wish i had someone else and wish i had a better 3.

i worked so hard for that kevin love lol and he is so leveled up i probably could get like 18,000-20,000 easy.. but...

all advice is welcome lol

I just bought amy LBJ

Originally I am gonna play him at SG as I want to keep using KD in starting line-up, and use LBJ as PNR initiator and slashing.

In my Freelance SF takes more wide-open shots so it is easier playing KD at SF.

What attribute boosts explosion after pick?

Is it ball handling?
Speed with ball?
Or Speed / acceleration?

I want to give him proper shoe

Ball control / acceleration
How you run you PnR should determine which is more important. If you use dribble moves to attack than BC is more valuable. If your mostly stationary and attack once the screener is set acceleration is more valuable. I think former is more effective so I'll go with the BC shoe. You'll have to use a +9 one.
I haven't use LBJ so I don't know if he has any launch dribble animations. Which would help a lot.

I am not very good with the sticks, so most of the times I am stationary.

So Speed/Acceleration shoe then?

What about speed with ball?

SWB doesn't your explosiveness off the dribble but is important in PnR situations. After you make you initial move the higher your SWB the easier it will be to get all the way to the basket.

The thing with LBJ is his BC is low at 78 so he might feel a bit sluggish off the dribble. Test him out in freestyle to get a feel for him. If he feels sluggish throw a ball control shoe on him.

Finally completed Pistons Historic Team.. Those golds weren't an easy find. I'm a Pistons fan, so I wanted to complete that team to get the diamond, with that being said, wasn't that excited when i realized it was Dave Bing.. I must say though, since using him for about 7 games so far, he's an absolute riot to have at point guard. He can shoot, drive, and defend a bit. He's lightening fast and takes it to the hole on just about anyone. One of those under-the-radar, not as sexy diamonds, but he's legit man. I'm very happy with him as my starting point guard.



Going forward i need to upgrade my starting SF (Prince would move to backup), starting PF (DeBusschere would move to backup), and backup PG.

I'm cool with

Bing/?
Stackhouse/Dumars
?/Prince
?/DeBusschere
Wallace/Laimbeer

So I'm essentially 3 players away from being satisfied with my squad.. At the moment though, this is a very good defensive team..

The 3 players I'd like to have to round off my team are Amethyst Lebron at starting SF, Ruby Dirk at starting PF, and Sapphire Chauncey Billups for backup PG.. That's my goal.

Blowing people out with this squad, Thompson, Jordan and Wallace force sooo many turnovers I can switch up my strategy in a heart beat if something isn't working and everyone is an option on offense. I can't wait to get Hill and King to replace Mashburn and Kobe although I haven't even got Kiki yet

The guys I play out of position are Thompson(1-2) Hudson(3-4) Johnson(4-5-3) Richardson(2-3) Mashburn(3-4) Kobe(2-3-1) and Bosh(4-5-3)

I think it should be mandatory in this thread to post what League you are playing MTO in.
