PG-Kirk Hinrich & Jarrett Jack
SG-Anthony Parker & Mike Dunleavy & Brandon Rush
SF-Danny Granger & Paul George
PF-Lamarcus Aldridge & Tyler Hansborough
C- Roy Hibbert-Josh McRoberts

You couldn't be to far from me then. I watched him a few times play teams from my high schools conference here in Ohio.

Huntington - WV when he played at Rose Hill in KY with Bill Walker and Huntington his senior season with Patrick Patterson

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

I started a new association with the Raptors... but I have a little problem. When I started the season and went to the trade block my players had the right amount of stars indicating their trade value. I played 5 games and checked back at the trade screen, now ALL my players have a 1 STAR trade value (even though players like Bargnani and Barbosa are doing really well). Anyone else having this problem? Is it a glitch?

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

I made a lot of trades before I started off the season; here's my Raptors 2010-2011 roster now:
pg: Jarrett Jack, Acie Law
sg: Leandro Barbosa, Sonny Weems
sf: Andre Iguadala, Linas Kleiza, Omri Caspi
pf: Andrea Bargnani, Ed Davis, Amir Johnson
c: Kendrick Perkins, Hasheem Thabeet

- Signed 2 free agents and traded with a first round pick to get Perkins
- Traded David Andersen and someone else for a 2nd round pick from the Clippers
- Traded 3 2nd round picks for a 1st and 2nd round pick from the Cavs
- Traded Calderon and DeRozan + 2 1st round picks for Iguadala
- Traded 2 people and a 2nd round pick for Thabeet and Law
- Traded 2 people for Caspi and a 2nd round pick

I think I have a pretty solid roster, especially at 2, 3 and 4. Bench is alright too (I thought I needed a better backup PG, but Acie Law is a surprisingly good backup.)

What do you guys think of my lineup?

Yeah, if you scheduled a practice it sets all their trade values to 1*. If you edit an attribute or something it'll reset them.

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

A few small questions before I leave:

1. Kleiza, Johnson and Caspi continue to complain about playing time even though I play them for an adequate amount of time... I've increased their playing time since, but it hasn't helped. Their overall ratings are down by 2-3 points each. Any suggestions on how to improve their morale?

2. My starters are either tired or sluggish. How do I get them to a rested state? I play 8 min quarters and the longest I play any one of my starters is 18 minpg (that's Iguadala). But they're still tired!

3. Does doing weekly practices permanently improve the indicated stats or is it temporary? Also, what's the benefit of selecting the option to focus on one player? If I choose an intense practice over a light one will my players be more tired afterward?

if you did weekly pratice than the trade value go down so restart it but dont do no weekly pratice ever lol

Thanks for the answer, but how do you edit an attribute? and what attribute do I edit? This might be a noob question, but I'm new to NBA 2K.

Sup Guys?

I know a lot of you guys are professionals when it comes to trades, just wondering if this makes any since to you guys.

Bulls Recieve:
Melo (we all know his current situation)
JR Smith (according to DEN's new GM he was looking to trade JR because he wasn't a big fan of his)
Kenyon Martin (honestly I think he's not returning to DEN, With the contract Al Harrington received it looks like they just gave away K-Mart's extension, plus he's aging)

Nuggets Recieve:
Luol Deng (of course he'll be in the trade)
Taj Gibson (young PF, DEN could benefit from this)
Keith Bogans (a temporary fill in, once Melo's gone, DEN rebuilding process will begin. Small contract and easy to get rid of)
2011 1st round pick
2012 1st round pick
(won't really need those picks once Melo comes over)

Obviously I'll have to do these trades before the start of Association, I'm just asking does this make sense from a mental standardpoint considering their current situations. It looks pretty decent in my eyes but we all don't see out the same eye so I'm asking for feedback.

yes and no. yes because they willin to giveup geng for melo which they already said they would do. givin them kenyon is a nono just because he bulls wouldnt want him really ince they got boozer even though he's injured with some depth. take out mrtin and add like anderson than ok it would be better because the bulls have no good backup centers. the jr addin can go both ways. its good cause the bulls need a good swing man but bad because you stackin the bulls team tomuch since they have krover, watson, johnson which will complain when you get jr. overall nice trade just change kenyon cause noone would take him now even if he have one year left. and if this year one you just goin loose melo to free agency cause he never resign so think before you make it because along with melo, jr becomes one to

Thanks for the feedback & the heads up about Melo not resigning. I was thinking about keeping K-Mart and rotating him Boozer at the 4 & 5 when Noah goes out I'm not a big fan of Kurt Thomas, might ship Johnson, haven't made up my mind yet, I still want to see how things pan out, but thanks for the feedback though

I play as the bulls and am a die hard melo fan. I've tried literally every scenario to get Melo in this game. Whether it be straight up trade, or involve a third team.

the trade you mentioned may be fair, but I'm pretty sure the CPU doesn't accept it in the game unless you trade override it. (which just in my opinion, feels kinda cheap)
