I'm not gonna lie I'd already signed him in my Association. I actually like Stevenson. I haven't been able to get him to do the "can't feel my face" taunt after a three ball yet. I bring in Patrick Ewing Jr. too and hire his dad to replace bob mcadoo on the coaching staff"I've never really paid that much attention to it.. know what I'm saying? I'm just a player, I'm a player Greg, and I just play with whatever they put.. if we are gonna play with a sock, then we gon play with a sock." Delonte "The Golden Panther" WestComment

And why'd you get Ewing Jr.? I've never used him before, and he always looked like he was pretty worthless in the game.Comment

I just like to play with him. He doesn't have much of a jumper but cutting to the rim he can't be stopped. As for Stevenson I only play him when I rest Wade. Chalmers is my starter at the 1"I've never really paid that much attention to it.. know what I'm saying?

Ah you start Chalmers. I would, but I just can't knock down his jump shot consistently enough. He's pretty good off the bench though.Comment

Agreed. The Heat have plenty of offense already. The only thing they can do to stiffen up is to bolster the following:
1 - backup SF (wait, they did that already. instead of bringing in Jones who can only shoot threes, they bring in Battier who can lockdown SG/SF and also shoot threes pretty good too)
2 - defensive PG - wait, Chalmers does this, plus he can also shoot threes, and is a VERY clutch player.
What's the starting lineup?
C - Anthony
PF - Bosh
SF - James
SG - Wade
PG - Chalmers
Considering they have two of the top five players in the league (admittedly the best SF, and arguably the best SG), and the Heat are in a pretty good spot.
I remember arguing last year how they should stick Lebron in the mid-post more, and I appear to have read some anecdotal evidence that the Heat have been doing that more, similar to how Jordan played mid-post back in the day and could either score it himself, or pass it off to the open man.
I haven't seen Lebron's post game, though, but I do know that if he wants to lengthen his career, that'd be a good place to start.Originally posted by lv2blli really wasnt expecting them to fix that, but as 2k always does, they blow your mindComment

Re: NBA 2K12: Managing the Heat
There's no fun in managing the Heat, their team is already loaded. With these minor moves, you could go either way with keeping the current players you already have or trading them for players who are almost equally the same.
What's fun is managing a lower tier team and making them into a contender.

Personally, I was never one to choose an already elite team to start a franchise/association in any sports game. I enjoyed choosing those young teams with great potential talent that has a strong chance of making the playoffs with good coaching/managing. With that said, with the rookies now inserted in NBA 2k12, ill soon start an Association with the Cleveland Cavilers.twitter.com/WilliamJAlvarezComment

Re: NBA 2K12: Managing the Heat
The only way to do it is to turn on trade override. You'll have to sign Dalembert or Chuck Hayes.
Heat Trade: Bosh, Dalembert/Hayes, Two First Round Picks
Magic Trade: Howard.
Then do another trade.
Heat Trade: Mike Miller, Shane Battier
Magic Trade: Turkoglu.
So the Magic will gain Bosh, a starting C (Dalembert/Hayes), Shane Battier, Mike Miller, and two 1st round picks.
I did two trades because you can only trade 4 players/picks from one team at a time, and in order for the Heat to get Howard they would have to give up more than that.
While this makes the Heat VERY thin, such things are necessary when trying to trade for BY FAR the best center in the league.
EDIT: Ok, so this year you can't sign a FA and then immediately trade him, so you'll have to wait 30 days in order to execute this trade.Last edited by EccentricMeat; 12-24-2011, 01:01 PM.Comment

Why do people keep saying that the Heat need a PG?
They have Lebron and Wade, two guys that need/want the ball in their hands at all times. These two would NOT both play off-ball, so a PG would be completely worthless.
All they need at the PG position is someone who is a good perimeter defender, and who can drain the open 3. A good SG would work at the point for this team, because he doesn't need to be able to pass. Deshawn Stevenson would do wonders for the Heat as their PG.
As for their other needs, all they need is a rebounding and defending C.
So in my associations, I just go out and sign Samuel Dalembert and Deshawn Stevenson. After those two moves, this team is NASTY.
PG - Stevenson/Chalmers/Cole/House
SG - Wade/Miller
SF - James/Battier/Jones
PF - Bosh/Haslem
C - Dalembert/AnthonyNBA 2K14 Wingspan Edits (Usable in 2K15)

fun article,
but instead of getting reddick, I would have made a move for Korver.
I would have nevere considered the Kobe trade.
and insteda of getting ANderson, I would have gone for a more verstaile big man. one who could play both the center and pf position.
based on this game and not reality, a good virtual alternative wouldbe Chris Wilcox.
Wilcox has been a solid backup in the 2k series for the paste several years.Comment
