    I would try to sell off players like DJ/KJ/Unseld. I don't think you need unselds post game since if he's posting up, your bigs can't be in the paint and they can't shoot either. With the game it is right now you need a 4out1in lineup to win easier.
    I disagree about needing a 4 out lineup. I run a 3-2 with both my units and win plenty without taking a single 3 with any of my bigs. Yes just life real life the game is very 3point heavy. However, that is not a must. Also lots of the shooting bigs lack elite post D which means a traditional lineup won't have as much trouble scoring in the paint.

      Oh yea for sure 3-2 lineups arent bad. Just suggesting him to try something new since he is struggling with a 3-2 lineup. Its much easier to master the post game with a 4-1 lineup since ypu get more space to use 1 dominate post guy. Plus ruby league the 3s are much easier so changing his style of play could help him out of that league.

        I tried that lineup you suggested, it worked about the same as the others I've tried in the ruby league (got blown out in the second half) so I can't honestly say if it's good or bad. Goodrich got bullied a lot as SG though.

        Yeah I'm thinking you guys might be right about my lack of shooting, I am now 0 for 5 in the ruby league. This is ridiculous. I almost went undefeated in the amethyst league, got most of the way through the diamond without encountering these types of walls that my entire team seems to hit. I'm used to scoring mostly with dunks and midranges, using a variety of different offenses. But that's just not working in the ruby league. It seems like in literally every game now, the table is tilted heavily in the opponent's favor, in all categories. It might be time to try something new.

        Kevin johnson is too much fun for me to consider selling him, especially for what he's worth. Same goes for DJ, him and kemp are lob city cheese in the upper leagues.

        Magic though, I could consider selling. He's a god on the drive but his defense is a tad lacking and his complete lack of shooting is poop. He's got a diamond contract, diamond shoe and and is fully badged so I feel I could pull at least 60k for him. Maybe more because people tend to overpay for those diamond contracts. Then I could buy a new player, probably a SG or SF who can shoot lights out. Bradley beal comes to mind. He's like 90k and has the badges. Screw it. I've always built my lineups around dunking because it's so fun, but I need to win games to get out of this league. Change my game. Adapt. Evolve. Expand.

          Played the Shaq challenges and used the 30K MT to get a Wes Unseld card to replace Draymond. Love the rebounding and defense that he and Tim Duncan provide.

          Also put back Q-Rich in place of Goodrich. Not really feeling Goodrich's release tbh.

          Probably gonna get a Diamond Kawhi and PG13 next but the only card I really want is a Diamond Curry.

            I shudder at the thought of dealing with Diamond Curry haha. I'm waiting on Amethyst/Diamond Klay, as I imagine you might be as well. His Ruby was the last Ruby in my lineup and I loved it. An Amethyst/Diamond with better badging, defense and possibly speed/ball control would probably kick PD Baylor out of my lineup. I just love Klay's release.

              Yeah can't wait. Curry was my favorite player in 2K16. I had a blast with him and his 3 point shooting.

              I would have upgraded to the Amethyst Curry but I'm such a noob that I wasted my Diamond shoe on the Ruby one that I have now and it maxed out his Speed ratings. So my ruby one is faster than the Amethyst version so I'm just gonna stick with this one until the Diamond drops.

              And yeah I'm gonna need that Amethyst Klay as soon as it drops lol.

                Is Curry your main scorer or do you tend to spread things around?

                I'm a fellow noob so I feel your pain haha. I put Diamond contracts on Diamond Ben Wallace and Diamond Shawn Marion

                EDIT: It's actually Amethyst Shawn Marion. D'oh!

                  Tim Duncan is the main scorer in the starting lineup and Ruby KD on my bench.

                  But once in a while I'll have those games where Klay/Curry get hot from three so I'll go to them instead.

                    Magic, Unseld, Pierce have the Jordan +9 SWB, +9 Dunk, +9 Vert shoe. Goodrich has the +9 accel +9 layup +9 shot close one. But I find his lack of defense disturbing.
                    Sell KJ and Magic. Grab Rondo and PG. Take advantage of the Pierce & Rondo DD and you need another wing.

                    Starters: Rondo, Thompson, Pierce, Kemp, Deandre
                    Bench Penny, Gail, PG, Unseld, Shaq

                      Re: Lineup Roll call...what your squads looking like?!!?!

                      I just bought Diamond LeBron for 145k...

                      my team is now:

                      Francis - Hornacek - LeBron - Haywood - Whiteside

                      Curry - Klay - Joe Johnson - Webber - DeAndre

                      I got 70k to improve, which players should i get?

                        I'll definitely look into getting PG, but not sure about rondo. The duo doesn't do a whole lot, and I rondo has the same huge flaw as KJ... terrible low post defense IQ. I picked up an amy john wall with a DI ball control shoe and I'm loving how good he is at defending post-ups from all the crazy cards people put at PG now. Tiny PG's are just too much of a liability for me to invest 70k in one.

                        Also considering Bradley Beal or this new JR Smith... passable defense and insane badging. Would really add a new level of 3pt cheese to the team, and they're in my price range.

                          I feel like this J.R. will be very expensive, especially if the pull rate isn't especially high. I'd be surprised if he's under 100K anytime soon, but I'm not always the best at guessing auction house prices haha

                              Well, turn that same critical eye concerned with post D to 2's and all other positions, not just 1's.

                              Especially at 2, where there are even more choices to abuse guys who are weak and/or bad at inside D.

                                The thing that jumps out at me is, ideally, you don't want to run Magic without him being surrounded by 4 very good shooters (at least midrange). I wouldn't run him with Shaq.

                                The acquisition I'd work on is getting a Center with outside shooting, or at least high-level midrange and more nuanced post game.
