    Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

    I had a pretty good one going, simming most of the regular season and playing the playoffs and then one year it started freezing whenever I went into a game. I simmed to the next year to see if it would work then but no, it didnt. I had a pretty good team too.
    Playing as the thunder going into the 4th season, as far as I got, Durrant was a beast 99 ovr A- perimiter D, A+ on inside and outside scoring, great all around player.

    I had traded off my starting PG at the beginning along with a 1st round pick for Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah, Rose was by this point a 96 ovr, A+ ball handling and perimiter D, A- outside scoring, and great at getting to the hoop to create for both himself and others.

    Noah was probably one of the best players in the league averaging under 7 points a game. He was getting over 2 blocks, almost 2 steals, over 12 boards, and over 3 offensive boards last year. A+ post D, A- perimiter D, A+ rebounding

    Jeff Green was a great defender and was able to score when I needed him to going to the hoop or even with an occasional J, first couple years was my best perimiter defender and was still an A- there, but had been passed up.

    I had drafted a PF who had a good inside game and he had become a pretty good post defender as well. He provided post offense where Noah lacked it and that was his main purpose.

    I picked up Andrea Bargnani a couple years ago and he was a great 6th man able to spread out the D hitting Js and able to score decently well in the post

    I had just picked up Paul Pierce in free agency and even though he was old, I was expecting him to give me even more firepower allowing Green to come off the bench behind pierce and durrant with bargnani backing up my 2 big men to give me great depth.

    Backup PGs were scrubs as were the rest of my backups but most had good potential. I would have liked to been able to see how that next year played out, coulda been pretty good.

      just got my 1st offer which i liked which was Luke Walton for Andrea Bargnani..even though luke was rated a 78 and Bargnani was rated a 73. i had a clutter at SF and Bargnani brought depth to PF for me. allowing me to move Vlad back to SF.I put mihm on the block now for a more defensive minded center (any suggestions?)

        Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

        2nd Season with Grizzlies. Simmed the first and was 28-54. this got me the 5th pick.

        during the season i traded away jaric and darko for 2nd round picks. i did this to get cap room.

        drafted a PF with 5th pick
        warrick left for free agency.
        lowry resigned

        free agent pick up:

        boozer (PF) - cost me 5 years
        rasheed wallace (C) - i gave 1 + an option for another
        Garcia (SG)
        Kleiza (SF)

        PG Conley (81)/Lowry (73)
        SG Mayo (86)/Garcia (75)
        SF Gay (88)/Kleiza (77)
        PF Boozer (91)/Rookie (73)/Arthur (75)
        C Wallace (85)/Gazol (71)

        Just traded Kleiza and 2nd round pick for Battier. He was on the block.

        season 6-2 record so far.

        boozer is not so easy to play with. he can't dribble down a point guard in the post.
        gay is really good in this game.

          Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

          Right now I`m 10-10 in my Jazz chise. 9 games left and I`m outside playoffs (9 spot). I`ve just make 2nd and last trade in this season - trade Korver, Hollins (get him from Bobcats) and Price for T. Outlaw and Sene from Thunders. I needed more athletic player than Korver - he score only 4,8ppg with 35%fg - I`m wasn`t happy with it. Besides Outlaw earn 8 mln$ in two years (Korver more than 10 mln$).

          I finally found perfect sliders and lvl - through that 20 past games I always changed lvl and sliders. I`ll play my last 9 games on All-Star with tweaked Bizancos`s sliders. Next game vs Celtics :/

            Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

            i'm 6-10 with the Bucks. started off 0-8 but picked it up after lowering the difficulty.

            just lost to Orlando 101-92. Howard pretty much destroyed me. 26 points, 14 boards, 4 assists and 2 blocks.

            i'm thinking about trading charlie v since he is saying they will be testing the free agency market in the off season. the bulls are offering travis outlaw who they acquired after trading ben gordon. the lakers are offering sasha vujacic. i'll probably wait for more offers.

                Re: ASSOCIATION PROGRESS

                Finally reached the halfway point in my 3rd season with the Magic from what I posted earlier, got a 29-14 record, top of the Eastern Conference and reaching the end of January and got a perfect trade on the table.

                Orlando gets:
                Amare Stoudemire
                Grant Hill

                Phoenix gets:
                Rashard Lewis
                Jeffery Washington (#1 pick I selected in last seasons draft)
                Paul Davis
                Evan Moody (2nd round pick I selected in last seasons draft)

                Grant Hill would come in as my starter at small forward, keeping Hedo as the 6th man and the 2nd unit together, Amare slots into the power forward spot with Dwight and they become an unstoppable force in the paint.

                But one thing stops it, Rashard Lewis. Everytime I try the trade the most annoying message comes up.

                Rashard Lewis declines to waive his no trade clause

                The dream of finally getting rid of Lewis terrible contract, which at this point still has 3 years and $66.46m on it, is still on my roster and I don't have a 90+ rated star to play alongisde Dwight.

                        every time the cpu throws a lob, i'm in awe lol. i've never played a game where the cpu throws so many. playing against atlanta was like an And1 game. josh smith and marvin williams jumping over my players every other trip down the court.

                            I think there is a serious problem w/ running w/ OKC in an association. Every OKC user on OS has complained about their OKC association freezing.

                            Yea...in my sixers association I had to lower the difficulty from All-Star to Pro after losing to Chicago 125-102. They shot like 53% from the field and just couldn't be stopped.

                            Lowering the difficulty was the answer too as they played more like Chicago circa 2008, and not Chicago circa 1997.

                            My next gm was against Chicago too, but in Chicago. This one was played on Pro, and had much better results...At the end of regulation it was 100-100.

                            In O/T I got out to a 7 point lead that they couldn't overcome, and I won 116-110.

                            I finished shooting 48%, and the Bulls 46%. I'd say that Pro is where its at for me right now.

                            It is cool since it would never happen in previous years, but now it happens a little too ofter like you've mentioned...

                            I wish we could find a happy medium, but there isn't an alley-oop slider.

                                I don't think it would be realistic to trade Melo...Unless maybe he was in the last yr of his contract.
