Re: How's Your Association Going? (2K11)
Any opinions? Have I made it too unrealistic? To be fair I've lost 4 big players and picked up three. Iverson was a free and maybe unrealistic but he was a FA. McGrady is off contract iRL and could end up in Chicago. Do you think Smith / Horford partnership fit the Bulls?
Kinda reminds of what Miami have got, without the gem of a PG. To be fair while being way past his prime, Bibby is a decorated player.
So finally got my Bulls association underway, I am also continuing my Knicks one as well but the Bulls appeal to more. The original roster is pretty good but I wanted to make them into a genuine contender. The only person untradeable was Rose...and Noah at first. But things changed.
First off i waived Lucas and bought in Iverson on a 1.5 mil one year deal. It's a recurring theme to my associations lol.
Next I wanted to bring in a quality SG, which I believe is what the Bulls are lacking, I looked at a few; Rip, Iggy and Lee. But I decided I'd see what the Rockets would want for K-Mart. They offered me Jordan Hill, Luis Scola and K- Mart for Boozer, Asik and '11 1st round pick. I bit their hand off for that and pulled the trigger.
On the list next, was Demarcus Cousins. Kings offered him to me for Scola and '12 1st rounder. Yes please. Pulled the trigger.
I put Watson up to see what I could get for him and the Rockets offered me their '11 1st rounder. Maybe not realistic but hey if they offering why not? Pulled the trigger.
Next I went after T-Mac who could easily end up in Chicago after this season IRL, they wanted Pargo and my '12 2nd rounder for T-Mac and their '11 2nd rounder. Again didn't make alot of sense, but I accepted.
On the chopping block next was Bogans who I offered in Trade Finder. Again the Rockets wanted to do business offering me Chuck Hayes (one of their six centers) for Bogans. I accepted.
The Kings then offered me their '11 2nd rounder and their '12 2nd rounder for Brewer, which I gladly accepted.
I went on to sign Rashad McCants from FA, who has impressed me in NY association. Thought he could back Martin up quite easily.
Kurt Thomas and Jordan Hill were then traded to the Clippers for DeAndre Jordan. They also wanted my 2nd rounder so I accepted.
I made the biggest trade next, which I umed and ahed about for ages as it probably killed any chance of realism I had. Atlanta offered me Smith and Horford for Gibson, Deng and Noah (didn't wanna trade him but looked at the positives)
I then went on to trade Butler for Aj Price and Korver to Minnesota for one of their picks, csnt remember which one exactly.
My rotations as of now:
PG - Rose / Iverson / Price
SG - Martin / McCants
SF - Smith / McGrady
PF - Horford / Cousins
C - Hayes / Jordan
As i said, probably not really realistic at all but looks solid on paper. Not fussed to win first season just wanna compete. Will make some trades later as well.
Played first game away to the Thunder and got the win, Rose got 28 followed by Horford with 16. I'm going to start a blog shortly, so hopefully a few people are interested.
Rashad McCants also went down and is out for month so I'm gonna look at FA and see who i can pick up on the cheap.
