Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Started my association over and just went completely legit with the Nuggets.

I love this team. I can play with every single player on them and produce. Even Julyan Stone puts in work. Quincy Miller is a good finisher but not so good shooter.

The problem is finding minutes for everybody. I don't think i'm trading anytime soon. 7-0 so far. Lakers are not so good on this game.

Is it just me or is HOF Simulation less difficult than previous years?

What kind of scoring presence are you looking for to compliment Rose?

Ideally I'd like another player who can handle the ball and create his shot. Unlike some Bulls fans who think Rose should be the only primary ball handler or it'll take away from his game, I disagree. If gets injured or is out I want someone else who could get his own.

I'd like Tyreke but I don't think I have what it would take to trade for him realistically, and I'm not trading Noah for him. My only hope would possibly be a three team trade where I give Taj+Picks to a teams who give the Kings a SF, and I get Reke. But I think that is unlikely.

I would be happy with someone like Marcus Thornton as well. I just want someone who can handle the ball, an doesn't play off ball (like Rip).

How do you feel about Beasley?

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

So decided to play 2 games today and moved my pacers franchise to 7 and 1. Beat raptors at home and beat em by 18 before my tough road stretch. Notable for this game was my guard game finally coming around. Hill was player of the game with 23 coming off the bench and my starter augustine had double double with 11 pts and 11 dimes. Becoming an interesting point guard battle. Granger and Hibbert finally came down from the mountain and had merely decent games. My bench has really improved which I'm happy about. I have best record in the league right now but that may change with upcoming road trip. Got bucks next and they have knocked off some pretty legit teams so far this season. Hopefully guard play stays at high level and I will have a tough team to beat...

What rosters are you guys using to start your associations?

I could see something like Boozer and the Bulls backup SG (cant remember his name) to the Nets for Marshon Brooks and Blatche/Humphries (whichever you prefer).

Brooks is fantastic at creating his own shot and could either start alongside Rose, or come off the bench to provide instant offense. Boozer is reunited with Williams who gave him his best years Utah, so the Nets are happy with the trade.

Or are you looking to hold on to Boozer? Which players are you willing to give up?

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

You should try a JR Smith/Marshon Brooks/Jordan Crawford kinda player,With Tyreke Evans not having Jumper it'll just stagnate your offense. plus Tyreke isn't that durable I believe. But if you get someone who can create their own shot plus can knock down that perimeter jumpshot it'll just spread the court and add another threat to that team, especially with Rose's driving ability and defense collapsing on you and wide open easy shots

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

How do you feel about Beasley?

Ehh, maybe. Don't really see where he'd fit in my lineup and don't wanna give up Deng. But I'm intrigued by his potential and skill set, and he is still only 23.

What rosters are you guys using to start your associations?

I'm using the official 2K one right now, once OS ones start to drop I may use those for my next assoc.

Yeah, I actually could see that trade happening. But I think I'd prefer having Booz/Rip over Humphries/Brooks IMO. But that's definitely an option, especially since I can dump Boozer's contract.

Yeah, I was thinking maybe Jordan Crawford. I could probably get him without giving up any of my core guys, and with Beal in town they'd be willing to trade him.

Thanks for the suggestions guys! I'll let you know what ends up happening.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

2-2 in my Hornets Association,

traded away Ryan Anderson and 14 first rd pick to Philly for Spencer Hawes and their 13 first rd pick so I can move Anthony Davis to PF. And traded Xavier Henry and 13 first rd pick to Denver for Wilson Chandler. Aminu wasnt really producing and fits better as a backup, Xavier henry is now the startin SG for Denver and they had a logjam at SF with Iggy and Gallinari still there.

Now my team seems to have more balance and is still realistic and can all grow together to try to grt to the playoffs.

Alright, I've got an elaborate idea.

Bulls trade Carlos Boozer, Kirk Hinrich, and their 2013 2nd round pick to the Nets.
Bulls trade Rip Hamilton and their 2013 1st round pick to the Bucks.
Nets trade Gerald Wallace and Kris Humphries to the Bucks.
Bucks trade Monta Ellis and Ersan Elyasova to the Bulls.

The Bulls now have a starting 5 of Rose, Ellis, Deng, Gibson/Elyasova (whichever you prefer), and Noah.
Nets have Williams, Hinrich/Brooks, Johnson, Boozer, and Lopez.
Bucks have Jennings, Hamilton, Wallace, Humphries/Gooden, and Dalembert, as well as the Bulls' upcoming 1st round pick.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Started a Association with the Golden State Warriors, a few reasons behind it would be great uniform combo's. Harrison Barnes (UNC fan), like the team as a whole.. Was down to 3 teams of The Bobcats & Hornets. I wanted to build around MKG but I just hate Kemba Walker.... Will update every 2-3 games. I'm controlling all teams for GM reason as the CPU AI will forever stink.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

So I've gotten to the trade deadline in my Nets association now. I'm about 5 games over .500, but I went into All-Star Weekend on a 7-game losing streak. I made two moves right before the deadline. I gave up both of my first round picks in the trades, but with this being a fantasy draft 'chise, I'm looking to win now and not rebuild through the draft. Also, keep in mind that I'm not going for extreme realism, but I do like trades that make semi-sense. I feel like I improved my team's offense on the wings and lost some offense in the post but gained some D. The two trades were:

Mavericks receive:

SG Gerald Green
C Roy Hibbert
'13 First Round Pick (Nets)

Nets (me) receive:

SG Bradley Beal
C Tyson Chandler

and

Hawks receive:

SF Trevor Ariza
'14 First Round Pick

Nets (me) receive:

SF Jeff Green

Now, my rotation is:

PG Derrick Rose
SG Bradley Beal
SF Jeff Green
PF Thomas Robinson
C Tyson Chandler
6 Nick Young
7 Chuck Hayes
8 Moe Harkless
9 Brendan Haywood
10 Tony Wroten Jr.
11 Kim English
12 Robert Sacre

Rose is averaging 28.7 PPG, 4.3 RPG and 8.3 APG. MVP?

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

ok doing a trial 30 team association to occupy my time until the Sim-World Rosters drop!

Im at the start of December now and I got a few ideas for a trade for the Clippers!,and want to keep it fair game for all the teams involved...

So please feel free to help me get this trade done!

Clippers trade Chauncey Billups and Ronnie Turiaf + 1st round pick(most likely be late first round) to Washington for Trevor Booker and Jan Vesely

Why:The Clippers have Bledsoe who is decent and upcoming PG who did play 20 mpg in his rookie year aswell as know there wings are covered with Butler,Hill,Crawford,Barnes if needed. L.A really need a back up Centre for Deandre Jordan and Trevor Booker might not be a 7 footer but he is good enough to fill the void plus Vesely gives them something to build around once Grant Hill retires.
Washington now have a decent team but are not ready to go all the way they are young on the wings and Billups is brought in to specifically help John Wall/Bradley Beals and become there mentor. Washington have Ariza,Webster,Singleton at the 3-spot and Nene and Seraphin covering the PF minutes with Turiaf backing up Okafor when needed not leaving many minutes for Jan Vesely/Trevor Booker,plus they get a late first round pick for compensation of losing younger assets.

Option 1
L.A Clippers depth chart after trade:
PG: Chris Paul -Eric Bledsoe
SG: Caron Butler -Jamal Crawford -Willie Green
SF: Grant Hill -Jan Vesely -Matt Barnes
PF: Blake Griffin -Lamar Odom
C: Deandre Jordan -Trevor Booker -Ryan Hollins

Washington depth chart after trade:
PG: John Wall -Chauncey Billups -Shelvin Mack
SG: Bradley Beal -Jordan Crawford
SF: Trevor Ariza -Martel Webster -Chris Singleton
PF: Nene -Kevin Seraphin
C: Emeka Okafor - Ronnie Turiaf

Option 2
a little bit complicated...

3 team trade L.A Trade Billups and Leslie to Dallas and Trey Thompkins + 2nd rounder to Atlanta

Dallas trades Dom Jones and Beaubois to Atlanta and a 1st rounder to L.A Clipper

Atlanta trade Zaza Pachulia to L.A Clippers

L.A get :Zaza Pachulia and Dallas first rounder
Atlanta get :Trey Thompkins,Roddy Beaubois and Clippers 2nd rounder
Dallas get :Travis Leslie and Chauncey Billups



(I have not pulled the trigger on this trade yet...want to make sure it's fair)

any thoughts?

Lol I made almost the same trade. Henry + '14 1st round to Denver for JaVale McGee. After that trade I just simulatet 5 seasons. With Player Development I made 3 consequtive rings starting in my 3rd. season. I'm now in pre-season for 5th.

Re: Official NBA2K13 Association Thread

Both trades sound good. Neither are unbalanced, and both help all teams involved.

Your trade doesn't make sense. Why would Denver give up a center (which are at a premium in the NBA) for a project SG and a draft pick? The only way a team is giving up a starting center is if they get another one back in return.
