Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

WAIT.... Roy scored 99?
And... your on pro, right? Double

Most I've ever scored is 135 with Tim Duncan. On rookie in 2k10 though.

I think he meant the Blazers scored 99 points on him.. which is a lot considering he's on 10 minute quarters.

In year two of my bucks chise, i'm trying to manage rosters trades ect for all 30 teams.

ATM portland have fell far short, they let go of Oden to free agency, they draft well, but aren't really a winning team. Roy has 2yrs $31mill left on his contract and i'm thinking of blowing the team up heading into the next off-season. I have a bunch of picks and am looking to aquire expiring contracts to make a push for Roy.

If he was on my team now, this is what the bucks would look like.

Jennings/Barea
Roy/Salmons/M.Daniels/T.Allen
T.Young/MbahaMoute/Maggette
Sanders/Gooden/Brockman
Bogut/D.Jordan/Valanciunas

in red i've listed the players i'd need to loose to aquire Roy.

championship contenders?


...

How was Chris Douglas-Roberts doing for you? I know you traded him, but was he just riding the bench?

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I finally got the ball rolling on an Association playing as the Celtics, currently sitting at 16-4. Every in game week I pick one game to play and sim the rest so I can get through multiple seasons while still playing a pretty decent number of games. Right away I traded Nate Robinson for Terrance Williams straight up, who has been a pretty great sixth man and will be starting at one of the wing positions in the next few years. Pierce and Ray got off to really bad starts shooting the ball but we were buoyed by an absolutely insane start to the season from Rondo, who's putting up something like 13/6/11 right now. In recent weeks Ray has really come to life, it seems like I'm dropping 30+ points with that guy every game. Pierce has stepped it up too, but I absolutely cannot shoot threes with him. I guess I'll hit practice mode for awhile to get the timing of his shot down.

Right now I'm not sure if I'm going to make any moves. While I've gotten a little attached to Big Baby in real life, he's really pretty bad in 2K since he's slow, can't shoot that well, and tires out quickly. I also also thinking about adding a little more depth on the wings since I'm not big on Marquis or Von Wafer. I'm think of matching up with either the Kings or the Grizzlies on a deal either at the deadline in the offseason where I'd acquire Jason Thompson and one of their backup wing players (Garcia, Greene, or Casspi) or Hasheem Thabeet and Tony Allen.

I'm not really sure how to handle the playoffs either. Playing every single game would start to get tedious, especially in the earlier rounds, and I'd start to get a little annoyed at the unusually large number of blocks I get every game versus the unusually small number of offensive rebounds I grab. I was thinking that maybe that maybe for the first two rounds I'd sim until I hit an elimination game, but maybe play the series opener too just to get some more playoffs in. I might do the same for the conference finals as well, but I'd definitely play the Finals if I reach them. Any thoughts?

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I accidentally messed up my Knicks chise, so Now Im the Wiz. Gonna post some trade ideas for gilbert in the other thread

[thaprodigyisback]

5-5 in my Bucks association I've had 2 losses against the Celtics and Lakers that were really hard to swallow.
Jennings is averaging 27.4 PPG and 5.2 AST. Barganani hasn't been anything special so far which has me considering a trade offer I got Bargnani, Redd, and 2nd Rd Pick for Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams don't think imma do it due to it being pretty unrealistic.

PG-Jennings, Dooling, Boykins
SG-DeRozan, Redd, Pietris, Delfino
SF-Childress, Pietris, Redd, Delfino
PF-Bargnani, Drew Gooden, Whiteside
C-Camby, Gooden, Whiteside

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I like the trade, Meeks never will be a star but he gives you the threat the bulls lack and that is a shooter.

Yeah, I hope it was fair. It was accepted by the CPU so....

And thanks for reading the post.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

Signed larry hughes and rafer alston in beginning of season. Midway into season i decided to try to get tyson chandler because collison wasnt doing it for me.

Ended up doing this trade

Thunder gets
Tyson chandler 1 year 12.75 mill
Ian Mahiinmi 2 year 1.65 mill
Brian Cardinal 1 year 1.35 mill

Mavs get
Larry Hughes 2.39 1 year
Nick Collison 5 years 24.28m
Rafer Alston 1.63 mill 1 year

Even though it's fair, IRL a team wouldn't sign a FA then trade him like Rafer and Hughes. Because if another team wants them they could've signed them.

Good trade though.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

Very close game, Raptors vs. Suns.

Ray Allen goes 5/6 from 3 in the 3rd.

Raptors pulled away in the 4th. But the Suns wouldn't go down without a fight, closing the lead to 3. Amir Johnson would get the clutch and 1 with 1:22 to go, and Ray Allen would hit 2 more 3's, ending up 8/14, 8/13 from 3. Derozan was held to 26, but the Raptors would advance to 3-0 for the first time since 08-09.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

How could I do that?

I't would be tedious since you have 30+ videos, but you have the option to 'download' the video. But on PC (which is what I have) it doesn't support the file type which the video are that is .flv, so you would have to convert them to .mp4, then edit them into one video, then upload it to YouTube.

So pretty much if you think all that work which would take a while is worth having it in one video then you should do it, if not then you shouldn't.

Good trade though.

i agree i see your point on the fa signings.

But theres also some trades with some fa aquisitions just to fill trade gaps. The mavs get another pg to relieve kidd and another scorer sg to relieve terry with a big man to back up nowitzki or haywood.

All they really get rid of is tyson chandler and 2 bigs who dont produce and doesnt do anything but rot in the team. I mean it can go either way if u think about it

I just finished up the Regular Season. Here's how thing's ended up working out:

Western Conference Playoffs
(1) Spurs vs. (8) Nuggets
(4) Suns vs. (5) Lakers
(3) Thunder vs. (6) Rockets
(2) Mavs vs. (7) Jazz
-------------------
Eastern Conference Playoffs
(1) Celtics vs. (8) Knicks
(4) Bulls vs. (5) Hawks
(3) Magic vs. (6) Bucks
(2) Heat vs. (7) Pacers

NBA Awards
MVP - Lebron James
Rookie of the Year - John Wall
Sixth Man of the Year - Wesley Johnson
Defensive Player of the Year - Josh Smith
Most Improved - Terrence Williams
Coach of the Year - Doc Rivers



End of the Season Notes
We made a late season push for the 3rd seed but, in the end we couldn't catch up with Oklahoma City. Also, Houston made a huge push for the 5th seed and had surpassed LA but, lost their last game of the season. Which tied them with the Lakers for the spot. Unfortunately, LA owned the tie-breaker so now we're meeting them in the 1st round.

Suns Starters
Steve Nash - 22 PPG - 2.9 RPG - 8.3 APG - .5 SPG - 49% FG% 42% 3P
Vince Carter - 21 PPG - 5.2 RPG - 3.6 APG, 1 SPG
Grant Hill - 12 PPG - 6 RPG - 1 SPG - 50% FG%
Josh Childress - 11 PPG - 5.5 RPG
Robin Lopez - 7 PPG - 7 RPG - 1.3 BPG

Reserves
Goran Dragic - 10.5 PPG - 4 APG 1 SPG, 2.2 RPG, 43% 3P
Mickael Pietrus - 8.3 PPG, 2.3 RPG, 1 SG
Channing Frye - 6 PPG- 5 RPG
Hakim Warrick - 6 PPG - 3.5 RPG 51% FG%
Jared Dudley - 5 PPG - 2.2 RPG 1 SPG - 45% 3P
Marcin Gortat - 2 PPG - 4.4 RPG
Mike James - 3 PPG - 1 APG

Playoff Notes
Robin Lopez was injured during the last two weeks of the season. He has a Torn Hamstring and will be out for the next 5-6 weeks. Coach Alvin Gentry has named Gortat the starter in his place. Coach stated that against LA, Gortat Post Defense and Rebounding skills will be needed more than Frye's scoring ability.

Also, Nash is playing through a Sprained Wrist. Dragic will see an increase in minutes until Steve is fully healed.

Lastly, our biggest concern against LA is keeping Kobe in check. Coach Gentry strongly considered starting Pietrus at SG and moving Childress to the bench. However, for Game One the starting 5 will stay the same. But, look for a quick sub especially, if Kobe comes out hot.

Key Playoff Injuries
John Salmons - Milwaukee - Torn ACL - Out 8-10 Months
Kevin Martin - Rockets - Torn MCL - Out 4-6 Months
Ray Allen - Boston - Broken Back- Out 1-2 Weeks
T.J Ford - Indiana - Strained Hamstring - Out 1-2 Weeks
Chauncey Billups - Denver - Broken Foot - Out 1-2 Weeks

Roy Hibbert, Gilbert Arenas, Luc Richard Mbah A Moute, Andrei Kirlenko, Mike Biddy and Tony Parker are all considered Day-to-Day

I like how you kept the Suns together and have the standings looking pretty accurate.

I'm trying to do the same with the Nets.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I like how you kept the Suns together and have the standings looking pretty accurate.

I'm trying to do the same with the Nets.

I'm not that big on trades. Especially in the first season. Now next year anything goes. Grant Hill has already said that he is retiring and I haven't decided if I'm going to keep VC or not. Basically, it all depends on Nash. If he comes back, I'm going to "go all in" and try to win it all next season. If he retires, I'm going to start rebuilding. Which shouldn't be too hard because I have two 1st Round draft picks next season. Plus, I believe guys like Dragic and Dudley are ready to become Starters.

Anyway, Game One of the 1st Round of the Playoffs went down like this:

LA came to Phoenix for Game One of Round One of the 2010 Playoffs. Stopping Kobe was our main focus. We weren't able to stop him but, we were able to keep him somewhat contained. As he had 33 points on 12 of 25 shooting (1-3 for 3 and 8-8 FT's) to go along with 4 boards, 2 assists and 1 steal.

Fortunately, for us our guys wanted it a little more today. Vince Carter looked like the VC of old. He damn near out played Kobe by scoring 31 points on 15-22 shooting (1-4 3P). He also came through one Defense adding 3 steals and 2 blocks to go along with 3 rebounds and 1 assist.

Steve Nash and Josh Childress also had huge games. Nash scored 21, 10 assist and 8 boards. Childress had 18 points and 8 rebounds.

The final score ended up being 105-98. We had double digit leads a few times throughout the game but, the resiliency of the Lakers brought them back each time.

Coach Gentry said after the game that he was proud of the way his team held on to the lead tonight against an outstanding Lakers team. He also stated that he hopes for more of the same for game 2. "We have the perfect mix of guys here. We've got a handful of Vets (Nash, VC and Hill) to go along with some hungry young players (Dragic, Dudley, Childress). Hopefully, that combination is the perfect storm that get's us through LA and throughout the rest of the playoffs."

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

good luck with the Suns in the playoffs, also agree like how you kept the team together and didn't trade for 10 guys that are 25 and younger and IRL are pretty untradeable.

Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

I 've started association with Pistons,what do you think about this team?
PG:Billups
SG:Rip
SF:Prince
PF:Landry
C:Wallace
Bench
Stuckey
T-Mac
Bynum
Monroe
Maxiell
Hassell
Jerebko

As you can see new players are Billups and Landry.My plan was to get billups back because he is a great experienced leader and pg and landry is a great inside scorer,just what i needed.My plan is to play strong defense like Pistons did,play good team basketball and get them in playoff.I think that this team should have positive record,what do you think,what are the bad sides of my team,what could be better,if you have any advice,i'd be glad to hear it....
