    Im in dire need of a 2 guard in my Cavs association becuz Anthony Parker is just horrible. Any ideas on a realistic pickup via trade?

It is pretty much a known fact that Howard is walking after FA. I like it. Have fun with Josh as well, I signed him with my hometown 76ers.
      Never thought of this. Anyone else think this could ever happen IRL?

        3 The trades aren't unrealistic. The hawks get a defensive presence in KG and can try to sign to Dwight this summer when KG's contract comes off the books. Thunder get an established clutch sharpshooter for the post season and two future first picks. They would never happen in real life but they aren't unfair at all.

          Ray McCallum(SG,67)was sent down to the D-league along with Istvan Dsida(58 but with 2 star trade value), my 1st round, 28th selection from last season. Patric Young(PF,69) is my only reserve.

          Here's our first game stats (quick note, Evan Turner is my favorite player on the 76ers & Louis Williams, and we played the Celtics. The Celtics ended up landing Chris Paul in FA, and have Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce also. Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett retired.) : Evan Turner-40 min, 30 points, 10 assists, 10 rebounds, 2 steals, 4 blocks. (I sent him to shooting camp,etc)
          Andre Iguodala- 41 min, 26 points, 8 rebounds, 3 assist, 1 steal, 1 block.
          Josh Smith- 34 min, 15 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 5 blocks.
          Louis Williams- 27 min, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals.
          Thaddeus Young- 13 min, 15 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assist, 1 steal
          Nikola Vuceivic- 27 min(Hawes was in foul trouble)- 9 points, 5 rebounds, 1 block.
          Spencer Hawes- 20 min, 7 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 1 block.
          Jrue Holliday(foul trouble+ I prefer Louis.) 22 min, 6 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, 3 steals.
          Adonis Thomas- 3 min, 2 points, 1 block.
          Lavoy Allen- 2 min, 1 steal.
          Terrance Jones- 8 min, 2 rebounds, 3 assists.
          Delonte West- 8 min, 2 rebound, 1 assist.
          As you can see, the love wasnt really spread beyond much. Im not really good with Allen, West or Thomas yet but eventually I'll adapt to their games. Nevertheless, our first game of the season ended in a 125-115 victory.
          Key Celtic Stats:
          Chris Paul- 40 min, 27 points, 4 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals.
          Rajon Rondo- 39 min, 13 points, 10 rebounds, 15 assists, 5 steals, 2 blocks.
          Paul Pierce- 39 min, 20 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist.


          Im really enjoying Evan Turner. I feel as if he is the face of the franchise now, and in real life he also potentially can be if Doug Collins lets him play his game. This kid is really versatile- and in real life recently combusted all over the Celtics for 26 points. In the Shaq vs. Charles game, he nearly had a trib-dub. Now that he's starting in real life and doing well, I feel as if its realistic for him to be the face of the 76ers in the future.

            Hey guys, I signed Dwight Howard in my second year of my association with the Cavs. I was wondering if i should restart. The only reason im weary about it, is that he wont decline his option when i start over.
            O, and i figured out if you switch Ramon Sessions to a SG and start him he turns into almost an 80 overall.

                We won the championship!
                -Defeated Celtics 1st round 4-2
                -Defeated Cavailers 2nd round 4-1
                -Defeated Bulls 3rd round 4-3
                -Defeated Grizzlies in Finals 4-3
                Alot of people retired, including Paul Pierce.. Im not going to list them all;
                We have the 4th pick in the draft due to the Hawes trade. We didnt sign anyone in FA except giving Turner a 5yr/82m extension.
                Some Notes
                -Lebron & Melo stayed with their teams.
                -Stephen Curry signed with the Rockets
                -James Harden signed with the Wizards
                -Brandon Jennings resigned 5yr, Greg Monroe & DeMarcus Cousins also.
                -Delonte West was released

                  Never said wasnt fair, said unrealistic. You stated it as well "This would never happen in real life." But do you really think that of all teams Howard will sign with the Hawks? I think he'd sign with the Celtics before them. Read what the other Celtic owner did: Josh Smith for Pierce, Bradley & a 1st, then sign Dwight. Thats more realistic than Smith for KG then Hawks sign Dwight after they lost KG & Smith and then have 2 established centers (Horford,Howard) and an injury prone Horford having to play in a different position. And yeah, because Celtics picks are worth that much that the Thunder would prefer an about-to retire SG & 2 late 1sts in the future which usually result to nothing then a 23 year old proven SG that fits well and already has chemistry with the team.

                    Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

                    Small trades to start up the season as follows:
                    -76ers receive: '15 2nd round pick
                    -Raptors receive: Delonte West(69 ovr SG)
                    Reasoning:I was planning on releasing him because I have a plethora of players begging for his playing time, but why release him & get hit by his cap, when I can receive something and not get hit by it? Delonte adds depth for the Raptors off the bench as they pull a no risk/high reward trade.
                    -76ers receive: '15 first round pick. Javier Barbosa(54 ovr C)
                    -Bobcats receive: Cole Aldrich(63 ovr C), Lavoy Allen(71 ovr PF)
                    Reasoning: I felt as if though we have to many PF/C so I traded them and received a 1st in return. Lavoy will start for the Bobcats, while Aldrich will add depth behind him.
                    -76ers receive:Kentavious Caldwell-Pope(68 ovr SG)
                    Raptors receive: Nikola Vuceivic(74 ovr PF), '15 2nd round pick(Raptors)
                    Reasoining: The Raptors see no need for Pope as they just aqcuired Delonte and are already stockpiled at the position with Xavier Henry and Demar Derozan. They trade him for a PF they really like, while the 76ers continue to diminish their PF/C position. We get richer at SG behind Evan Turner & Rodney Purvis(who I drafted with the 1st round, 4th pick I aqcuired from the Bucks)

                      Re: NBA 2K12: The Official Association/Online Association Thread

                      Is there any benefit to the actual association itself playing the full 82 game season, rather than doing what a lot of people seem to do, and go with 29?

                      I've gone with 29 right now, however, this is my first 2k game I've picked up since 2k5 so I'm a little bit skeptical on raising the difficulty. I'm on pro right now, and I finished 21-8 with the Kings, so I'm thinking it'd be best to raise the difficulty.

                      I'm also the type of person that usually likes to play every game, however - if there was some sort of benefit to playing an 82 game season, I'm sure I wouldn't mind simming some games.

                            I decided to start a new franchise using the Golden State Warriors (fantasy draft). I was having a good time with my Durant led Knicks but it became way to easy to score with the durantula and was beginning to get old quick. So I decided on going with a Derick Rose led team of young athletic players after trading away 70% of my draft and all of my picks I got this:

                            PG: Derick Rose, Jerryd Bayless
                            SG: Evan Turner, Corey Brewer
                            SF: Paul George, Marvin Williams, Danny Greene
                            PF: Josh Smith, Jason Thompson
                            C: Greg Monroe, Amir Johnson, Eric Dampier

                            The only move I had to "cheat" for was obtaining Greg Monroe. I had to put the force trade on and adjust DeAndre Jordan's contract. Other than that I wheeled and dealer my draft picks and veteran stars for Evan Turner, Jerry's Bayless, Amir Johnson, and Jason Thompson. Paul George slipped to the 3rd round somehow which I planned on selecting Demar Derozan in. I changed him to a Small Forward and his rating jumped 3 points to an 80 overall. Marvin Williams is my sixth man and is pleased with his role. He spells Paul George and will sometimes play Power Forward when we run a small fast line up. I love using Evan Turner. He is good in many different ways.


                            Game one of our season is against our instate rivals the LA Lakers, led by the back court of Steve Nash and Eric Gordon. The Lakers came out on fire jumping out to an early six point lead. We were having trouble finding our groove and getting Rose going. Eric Gordon n Steve Nash are killing us from the outside. Jerryd Bayless came off the bench and hit 2 huge 3's and a buzzer beater from the elbow to pull us with in 4 at the end of the 1st. Then in the second quarter Gordon came out on fire. He just continually found himself open from deep and couldn't miss. He pushed them to a 14 point half time lead with 24 points.

                            After the half it was the same story with Eric Gordon just being a straight assassin from 3. With 6 minutes left in the 3rd I was forced to call a time out and rethink my strategy as we were now down 21. I changed my defensive strategy to "pressure shooters" and switched Paul George on to Gordon. This switch fueled the fast break and shut down everyone but Gordon. But it was enough to get the comeback rolling. Rose was running the fastbreak and dishing out assists at will. This brought us back with in 8 at the end of the 3rd. Rose had 8 points and 4 dimes in that six minute span. Eric Gordon finished with 16 in the quarter and 40 after 3. The fourth quarter we came out on fire Paul George and Josh Smith hitting back to back 3's to get us with in 2. With Rose getting ready for the final stretch on the bench Jerryd Bayless stripped Steve Nash was all alone on the break and pulled up for 3 and drilled it! The hometown Warriors were now up 1. And there was no looking back from there as we didn't release the lead from there on out. Rose hit big bucket after big bucket and shut down Eric Gordon. Eric Gordon was held scoreless in the 4th. We ended up winning by 5.

                            FINAL SCORE: GSW 93 LAL 88

                            NOTEABLE STATS:
                            Rose: 19pts. 9assists 4reb. 2stl.
                            E. Turner: 14pts. 5reb.

                              its too time consuming to play 82 games man, or even half of that. just suck it up and play a 29 game association. i do it all the time and its fun. its long enough to make it feel like a real season, but short enough to keep your interest going from year to year. once you get over the fact thats its not completely realistic, you will have a great time getting deep into an association and actually playing the games, instead of having to simulate all of them.

                                Yeah, but the thing is is that one bad streak, and your whole season could basically be ruined...
