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

How do you know they requested trades?

On the player card, it'll say how happy they are. If they're morale is down to 0, next to the bar it will say, "He wants to leave" or something

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

Mav's wouldn't trade Dirk, unless they were getting a star in return, even then its questionable.


Anyway, back to my BUCKS association...

trade deadline 2 weeks away

I deliberated on a trade for an ailing Brandon Roy, decided ultimatley not to pull the trigger. I'm 25-20 ATM in my second season, and have just pulled of a couple moves to help improve my future cap situation.

I acquired Thaddeus Young last off-season on a 4yr $36mil deal, hes been playing out of his mind, leading the league in threes, so i want to keep him on. Plus I have to re-sign Brandon Jennings next off-season,

trade 1:
CHA recieve:
Maggette(75, 2yrs/$21.19m)
MIL recieve:
Boris Diaw(69, 1yr/$9.00m)

reasoning: Bobcats are 30-17, 4th in the east, Diaw was unhappy with his role behind Tyrus Thomas. They take on an extra year and $10mil in coreys contract for a legit scoring option(cats only have henderson, jackson, on the wing), so they can make push into the playoffs.


trade 2:
ORL recieve:
D.Gooden(70, 4yrs/$26.24m)
Malcolm Delaney(54, 1yr/$473k)
(rookie second rounder, acquired from Mavs in Dooling, Ilaysova, Barea deal)
MIL recieve:
C.Duhon(68, 3yrs/$11.06m)
Q.Richardson(67, 2yrs/$5.07m)

reasoning:I loved Gooden but 6mil a year for 4 years was too dear. Plus this frees up space for Sanders at PF. Q-Rich can come of the bench, or fill in during injuries. Orl get a solid C who can score in the block, rebound and defend when Dwight is out, a backup big they've need since the Gortat trade.

overview:
I save $22mil over 4 years. btw, stole ORL trade idea of realgm bucks forum.
Will have $12mil free cap next off-season(not including draft picks, plus we remain in playoff contention).


Lineup at trade deadline:

Jennings/Barea/Duhon
Salmons/T.Allen/M.Daniels/
Young/MbMoute/Q.Richardson
Diaw/Sanders/Brockman
Bogut/D.Jordan

Valanciunas is still getting preped in D-League

Nice moves and nice team. Very realistic which I like reading about.

Solid team, but not enough to contend, probably get knocked out in first round if made into playoffs

It's better than the unrealistic teams guys are putting together, in my opinion.

No doubt. It's nice to see some trades for guys other than Superstar's like Carmelo, Blake Griffin, etc. Nice job dazpoo23

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

I had durability, injury frequency, and injury severity at 50 for about 8 games...no injures.

Now durability:48, injury frequency:51, and injury severity:52...I have seen 4 injuries in my past 3 games. Ray Allen, Zach Randolph, Andray Blatche, and John Wall. Allen and Blatche are out; Randolph and Wall are hurt.

EDIT: Just played another game and another injury: Al Thornton, out 1-2 weeks. Is this normal? I slightly adjusted the injury sliders and 5 injuries in 4 games. Will these cool down or what?

[goh]

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

7-0 now. Simmed vs. Blazers,played the Celtics and simmed vs. 76ers.

Close game against the Celts until they put in Nate Robinson. At that point I moved Westbrook to SG and brought in Lin for PG. Allen couldn't deal with Westbrook. Josh Smith injured Allen during a shot block attempt and it was pretty much over. Allen was still in sometimes but wasn't playing well. They had Robinson,Rondo and the other guy. Couldn't match up in size with Harden/Westbrook. They also put Daniels and Big Baby on Durant at points so yah. Durant won player of the week for the West,Jordan in the East.

However I'm only 2nd in the conference as the Lakers are 9-0. Celtics were 6-0 before playing me.

Also this came up in the rumor mill:

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

I agree about the stuff about the unrealistic rosters and stuff. I'd hate to play as the Heat or trade for LeBron or some superstar. I like to keep it real and not go out and make some blockbuster trade just because I can and not because I need to.

With that being said, I'll probably pursue Melo in the offseason, but he's going to NY anyway in real life, so it's not unrealistic.

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

I have my injury slider to 51 and severity to 45. In my game against the Raptors, Blatche went out with an abdominal strain for 2 weeks. I barely won this game 89-87. Hibbert came through with almost no time left on the clock to drain a fadeaway in the low post.

Raptors only had 3 seconds left on the clock and Barbosa couldn't drain it. I got the victory. Whew ..go Wizards! I really needed this win.

I sense a little hate. Yeah Im the guy that traded for Blake and went after Melo in my Bulls association in my 2nd season. I picked the Bulls because I like Rose and thought they had the fair pieces to give up for Blake Griffin w/o losing their main guy. In turn, I had enough cap space to go after Melo who was a F/A. My so called unrealistic plan even backfired on me. Melo signed with the Warriors. That was realistic eh? You never know what a GM or player might do in this league. Bad moves and surprisingly good moves happen all the time. Excuse me for sharing my revamped roster that Im going to have a blast playing with on my 360 videogame called NBA 2K11. You gotta love message boards.

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

I don't give a damn what you do, I was just stating my opinion. I just find that having a roster full of the best players in the league remove all of the competition for me. There's something fulfilling to me when I win a game with Brandon Bass and Ronny Turiaf being my frontcourt and having Bill Walker play extended minutes. Playing with LeBron, Wade & Bosh wouldn't give me that fulfillment.

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

I started to scrap my Knicks franchise for now and do a Nets franchise, since I feel more used to the game now.

I started off 4-2, with a big win against Orlando thrown in there. Favors had been great for me in the early games, but in the Orlando game he fell while making a shot and is now out 2-4 weeks with a back strain. Tough loss. Devin Harris and Troy Murphy have been surprisingly carrying the team, while Brook Lopez is a rebound machine.

I'm not sure I can think of good trades right away. I'd try to get Kevin Love to fill in the PF spot, but Damion James isnt that bad at all either. Idk what to do.
