I guess I will be trying something more fun, have any ideas?
    I've played Small Forward (All-Around) the past three years and love it. I just love the versatility.

    I started out as a roleplayer, setting screens, knocking down open jumpers, playing defense and grabbing the occasional board.

    I've progressed to a 22-8-8 nightly triple-double threat in the mold of LeBron/Durant/Carmelo as the offense now goes through me.

    The versatility of a 3/4 (I went with Durant's height/weight) makes it so you're never too far "out of position" on defense (or offense for that matter). Get your speed up and you can adequately match up with any player 1-5 and not feel ridiculous (i.e. a 6'0" PG playing C or a 7'0" C playing PG).

    Playing the Small Forward allows you to mold to the team in that if you have guards who are more scoring (like me with Harden/Lin) you can be more of a facilitative point-forward and adapt to the needs of the team.

    I like running the offense when I feel like it not because I have to. I feel like I have too much control with a PG. Similarly I always play running back in superstar mode.

    The PG position is the most stacked with talent in the NBA, so there are few teams that NEED you and it annoys me starting over an established star. The Center has NO competition except Howard. The 2 guard is shallow as well, just not nearly as bad. I like the SF because the top two franchise players in the NBA are 3's. That position is the most top heavy with elite stars, but there are a lot of teams that could still use a franchise three to compete with them.

      Trust me, they arent to make a move.

      Your best choice is to say you dont like playing with a player early in the season. Doing that would reduce their minutes, but saying you dont get along doesnt do anything. But, they only do that early in the season once.

        you CAN get the gm to move those players. I think here is where most people fail at it.

        first, go complain to the gm about your particular teammate. if he agrees with you, he'll tell you that they'll move the player via trade

        second, when you get the option (whether through losing or mid season gm request) to select up to 5 players to trade for, you have to choose players that are similar to the overall of the player that you are trying to get rid of.

        so if you want to get rid of Roger Mason who is approximately a 68 overall, choose 5 players who are 67-69 overall.

        I think where most people fail is when given the opportunity to choose other players, they go for big name talent. So the gm honors that request and forgets about getting rid of the teammate you can't stand.

        I got rid of Sebastian Telfair on the suns this way. complained about him twice and when given the opportunity, asked for 5 players who were similar to his overall, but played at a different position so that I wouldn't have another pg come back via trade.

        worked for me. you just have to be willing to not get a big named player and get another role player.

        unless the teammate you're complaining about and willing to give up is a big name player

            That is what I am doing with my PF.

            Early in rookie season, all I did was set screens(brick wall) and rebounds and occasionally get a block here and there. Now I rebound at higher rate, score more around the bucket, and get more blocks. I just developed an average back to basket game. I will then get my Shooting ratings up and work on my handles.

              I did it before. But, it doesnt work often.

              I never ask for a player over 75 OVR. I dont want to risk trading away a player I do like playing with or a 1st rd pick. Especially this year with the Hornets. We are top 5 pick locked team. I dont want to risk giving that up.

              I asked them to trade away Rivers for Eric Maynor. But it didnt happen. But, I am just concerned with that top 3-5 pick

                I'm currently playing on the hornets with a pg. we're 27-4 on HOF sim settings 12 min qtrs.

                I'm cool with rivers as when he comes in off the bench, at least he's someone who is WILLING to shoot, unlike mason and carrol (I started after that roster update).

                who I want gone is carrol. we have xavier henry sitting on the bench and he is rated higher than carrol but for some reason, the coach has carrol in the lineup and henry never plays.

                so when I get that opportunity, I am seriously gonna try to get him out of there. but i think i'll ask for either wesley johnson in phoenix or anthony marrow in atl. at least those guys will catch and shoot.

                in your case though, since you're not a very good team, i would just sit tight. the last thing that you would want is to lose that top pick and the gm/coach/computer has been known to make some dumb moves in the past.

                give rivers time and a chance. see it from his point of view. host a team 2k tournament or dinner for bonding purposes lol. you might learn how to play better with him.

                    I dont mind Rivers, but not as a Starter or PG. I started with a roster that had Brian Roberts. He is a Dimer, but a liability on Defense. That is our problem we dont have much defense in the backcourt. We are 20-48 and lost every key game we played.

                    Plus Rivers does good potential, along with Gordon, Davis, and Wilson Chandler(traded next year 1st rd pick for a 1st pick and him). So our future is bright.

                          I think the key to getting the gm to side with you is that you have to be rated higher than the other player

                          but that's just a guess on my part. although everytime I complained about a teammate and the gm sided with me, I was rated higher, but when he didn't side with me and told me to be a professional we were rated about the same or I was rated lower than the other player

                            but your future does look good and you're almost finish your season. And ya'll should be better defensively next season with davis getting the defensive anchor sig in his second season.

                            I'll be interested to see how much of a jump rivers makes in his second season

                                Yeah, that's tough losing all those games,

                                but your future does look good and you're almost finish your season. And ya'll should be better defensively next season with davis getting the defensive anchor sig in his second season.

                                I'll be interested to see how much of a jump rivers makes in his second season
                                Yeah, we are 20-52. We are the worst team by 2 losses.

                                But, yeah our future does look bright. We have Gordon, Davis, Wilson Chandler, Me. We are all 25 and under and have at least 3 years left on contract and have good potential. We could have a 1st OVR pick. Our biggest need is a PG that can play defense and pass the ball. There is a possibility that we go draft a Center, since I start there and Im a PF. I hope not, but I would probably be benched.
