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

alright guys I need some help. I'm going to do an association with the Warriors but I'm going to get rid of Lee and act like that trade never went down, placing Randolph, Buiks and Turiaf back on GS. So where do you guys think would be a good place to put Lee?

Back to the Knicks? Let Amare play the 5. I do it all the time.

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

So far I have played 6 games and have gotten blown out every game by at least 15 points. 4 pretty bad teams and then LAL and Memphis. I went with the Kings by the way. I can't score, I can't run plays correctly, I can't shoot free throws, I can't pass, I can't play defense. It's actually pretty laughable. Maybe I'll try different sliders/settings.

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

I have a question for everyone who has ran a Bucks Association. Do you keep Bogut? Initially I couldn't use him well and was frustrated. After I got over the rather large learning curve of not playing video game basketball in a few years I am pretty darn good with him, when he is healthy. He is rarely 100%. I swear he would be better named Back Spasm than Andrew Bogut.

I am just about to enter the playoffs in year two and have begun thinking about his future in Milwaukee. Should I ditch him for a draft pick? What about trading him for another player? I should also mention, Dwight Howard, Brook Lopez, and Andrew Bynum are all going to be free agents.

Thanks in advance.

I'd go after Lopez you can probably lock him up for longer and not have to pay as much as if you went after Dwight or Bynum. He has decent range that you can improve and good size at 7'1 with plenty of upside. Personally I like Bogut but man he's like made out of glass I swear. I've literally had Bogut suffer back to back season ending injuries from one season to the next -_-. Develop Jennings and Lopez together and you'll be more than good man.

Definitely trade him, because just because those guys' contracts are up doesn't guarantee they'll hit free agency. They'll all most likely sign right before free agency.

If I were you I'd trade Bogut, the 3 you mentioned are probably going to resign before they hit free agency, do you still have Larry Sanders? If you do I'd work on developing him into a beast at the 4 and trade Bogut and maybe package him with Illyasova to try and get a slightly better deal.

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

I have downloaded some updated rosters with all of the NBA rookies; but it will not let me start an association with these rosters. It freezes after I fix the draft order, or right when I pick a team. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

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

Started a Pistons association. Simmed the first year and, surprisingly, went 40-42, which was good for 10th in the East. Had the 11th pick in the draft and ended up taking Jordan Hamilton in the 1st round and Trey Thompkins in the 2nd. Picked up the option on Stuckey, while not doing so on Jerebko or Terrico White (lol), and then signed Antonio McDyess to back up Monroe (also wanted to see him retire as a Piston). Now, my next order of business is to dump Rip and/or Ben G. Good luck to me on that one, lol.

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

Since losing to the Pistons, I've went on a 5 game winning streak. The most notable one was over the Atlanta Hawks who still have a solid team.

Next 2 games are against the Knicks and the Heat, both of which are 2-6 surprisingly.

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

I don't Know How I Got to this after 1 year With My Blazer Squad:
PG Wesley Matthews
SG M.Ellis
SF C.Anthony
PF J-Smooth
C M.Camby
Best Backup:
Lamarcus Aldridge
Rest of Bench are 60's and some are FA after the Trades. Oden, Gerald Wallace, R.Felton And B.Roy Were all Traded. Do you think my Big 3 could compare to The Heat this season? They won Last year and I Lost in the 1st round. Im Hoping I can Match up To LA this Conference Final or Dallas In WCF.
My record was 47-35, Do you think I'll improve my record? and Can I matchup with Big Teams Now?

I don't think you'll do much better. You traded away what little depth Portland had for a decent starting 5. Teams like L.A. and Dallas have depth, and if the only good player on your bench is LaMarcus it's going to be tough to compete with them.

So Which one of My Superstars should I trade? I was thinking Monta Ellis. He's got Good Trade Value and A Rating of 87. What players Should I try and Get for him? And Lamarcus, R.Patterson Babbit And I think Batum are My remaining Bench. I was actually thinking of this As my Lineup instead:
PGWesley Matthews
SGEllis
SFCarmelo
PFJosh Smith
C Lamarcus Aldridge. Is LA12 Good at Center?

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

Simmed 1st game against the Weak Suns Team. I think you Were right. Depth is Key. I Lost the Game 102-89 And Bench Points were at a Minimum. Carmelo Led the Team.... Im gonna go for Damion Jones from NJ, He's a Great shooter off the Bench.

Everyone gets his name wrong for some reason.. it's Damion JAMES. Either way, he plays SF, where he won't get too many minutes on your team since Melo plays in front of him.
