Raptors

Get Marion and Chandler on this team, Sign Iverson, somehow bobcats want Jose Calderon and willing to give up G. Wallace but I might not do this trade is too unrealistic...

They did in the game. Maybe because of Arenas A+ potential rating.

I meant in real life, there's no way that would happen.

I probably will get Udoh more involved. I might take some of Charlie Bell's minutes away, since Steph can play a great SG as well. But the thing is, I WOULD have done that but I accidently saved over it. And Im not restarting another season, and the Warriors got pretty boring. Should I use another team?

How'd the Warriors get boring? They're the last team I would think that gets boring. If you're going to change, I'd suggest your Celtics. I'm having a blast with them. My leading scorer is almost always someone different. Developing Rondo into a top 5 player in the league is going to be tough/fun/frustrating/rewarding.

And this is coming from a Cavs fan. It makes me feel nauseas everytime I jump up and cheer a great play I make, lol.

In the past, I've had fun rebuilding the

Knicks
Grizzlies
Kings
Warriors

Now I'm having a blast running with the Bobcats...our low offensive rating means you have to get creative getting shots...and you have to know the offense and what each guy brings to the table. Gerald Wallace is a MONSTER.

Re: What teams are you using to rebuild in NBA 2K11's Association Mode?

I started one with the Raptors (my local team) last night. I signed Iverson on day 1 and beat the Knicks 109-101 in the first game with Iverson getting 33 pts. I sim-cast the second game against the Cavaliers and won 112-106. I'm thinking of trading for Blake Griffin (sp) from the Clippers sometime in the first season.

I'm thinking of starting another one with the Celtics and like another person said, not making any big moves in the first year and trying to with another championship with the current roster. Then blowing it up and rebuilding in either year 2 or 3.

Another team I'm thinking of starting with is the Thunder. They have a lot of young talent and should be a fun up-an-coming team to run with.

Now the Celtics sound better, but the thing is, I have VERY low cap room, and as I said most of my roster comes from Free Agency so that is holding me back, and plus even if I did clear up some space I would HAVE to re-sign Perkins and Big Baby. Maybe the Thunder? I could use the Sonics with the Thunder roster, to avenge what happened for all Ex/Current Seattle fans.

When I restart I think I am gonna go with the Kings, I played with them earlier in a quick game and I just love Tyreke Evans.

If you're looking to rebuild a franchise, don't go with the Thunder. They're going to win it all real soon. I'm not sure they even need another piece, just another year or 2.

How about the Nuggets? You could trade Melo for some expiring contracts and draft picks and build your team in the off-season.

Cavs owner Dan Gilbert:
"I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE THAT THE CLEVELAND CAVALIERS WILL WIN AN NBA CHAMPIONSHIP BEFORE THE SELF-TITLED FORMER 'KING' WINS ONE"

Simply because of this quote I decided to run an association with the Cavs. I sim all the games, I have no interest in actually playing with this team. My first year did not go well, I ended up with the 6th and 11th picks in the first round. However, I was pleased to see the Heat get knocked out in the second round, so I will continue into year 2.

Ooooohhhh. I REALLY like that idea. I trade Melo for expiring, big contracts (Jamison, Peja, etc.) and let go of Billups and maybe Andersen for expiring contracts and yeah build through Free Agency. But I'll need to get great expiring contracts, because I would be getting cheated if I just got Peja or Jamison. Looks good!

The Phoenix Suns.

They have an aging superstar in Nash, and that's it.

I'm in year 2 with Phoenix and sold out for bust the first year to get a ring.

Put Hedo up for trade and was somehow offered Josh Smith.

Traded Josh Childress and Grant Hill for Trevor Ariza.

Traded Robin Lopez and two firsts for his brother Brook Lopez.

Signed AI in free agency. Starting lineup:

Nash, Iverson, Ariza, Smith, Lopez.

Bench:

J Rich, Dudley, Dragic, Channing Frye, and fillers.

Won the title year one, and Nash retired, J Rich, Dudley, and 4 others left via FA. I now have some rebuilding to do, and a solid core in Ariza, Smith, and Lopez.

Re: What teams are you using to rebuild in NBA 2K11's Association Mode?

Being from Milwaukee, I usually start an Association with the Bucks. They have been pretty bad the past few years so it has always been about rebuilding. Now though, they are a decent team, and I'm sick of looking at their jerseys.

I was thinking about running with Sacramento, Golden State, New York, New Jersey, Philly, or maybe Detroit (that would be challenging). I'd like to use a young team with some good talent that just needs a little massaging to be better. I'm leaning more towards Golden State or Sacramento, but NJ has some pretty nice pieces too with Harris and Lopez. Decisions, decisions.

Re: What teams are you using to rebuild in NBA 2K11's Association Mode?

Went ahead and pulled the trigger on 3 trades. 1st was Melo and someone else for Deron Williams and AK-47. Traded Anderson and a pick for expiring contracts, but forgot who. And traded Harrington for another pick. Simmed the First season, finished 6th in the West. Lost in 7 games to OKC in the first round. Miami won the title. Let go of almost everyone except for AK-47 and K-Mart. Traded for Dahntay Jones for depth at SG. Then, as always, I went on a feeding frenzy in Free Agency. I signed Wilson Chandler, Marcus Thornton,Thaddeus Young, Samuel Dalembert, Joel Przybilla, and Patrick Mills. I also drafted Donatas Motiejunas and Renardo Sydney in the first round, so I had a very successfull offseason. I look forward to playing my first game.
