Third season is behind me with the Lakers. Missed the playoffs, once again. Ended the season with 39-44 record. Got the #9th pick in the draft.

The last day of the season was a extremely sad day in the NBA. Five players who devoted their lives to basketball decided to say last goodbyes to NBA. Dirk Nowitzki, Paul Pierce, Tim Duncan and the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Kevin Garnett. Only Pierce was left out from Hall of Fame.

Kobe's retirement was a slap in the face with a sledgehammer. I really thought he has atleast two years in him. Maybe he got sick and tired of missing playoffs year after year. So the offseason's main goal was to find a scorer to fill Kobe's shoes.

Cameron is officially a freaking superstar. Achieved an All-Star nomination (as did Parsons and Kobe), 1st Team All-NBA and 1st Team All-Defense. Ended season with 22.0ppg, 6.4rpg, 6.7apg, 1.5spg and 1.3bpg. And he is still only 22 years old.

In the draft I selected The Freak Trey Tripplett at #9. He's going to start the season as starter. In the second round I somehow got one of my favorite players in these classes: Fabijan Novoselec. Although I had to trade up few spots to grab him. The witty Croatian reminds me of Hedo Turkoglu.

Free agency had two really big fish in Kevin Durant and Kevin Love. Love is one of my alltime favorite players so I slammed max deal to him. Four years and 83M$. Durant decided to bring his talents to Miami. Heat has some serious fire power in their team now. Or how does lineup: Chalmers, Wade, Durant, Bosh and Cousins sound like to you. BIG4, eh?

Signed Kjellson, Robinson and Kirilenko to extensions. Also traded magical Kyle Korver to back-up Tripplett. Last season I also traded Robin Lopez and Boris Diaw for Anderson Varejao. Lopez didn't do the things I expected from him.

Lakers 2016-17

Adam Cameron, Nate Robinson, Jacque Parker
Trey Tripplett, Kyle Korver
Chandler Parsons, Andrei Kirilenko
Kevin Love, Gregory Livingston, Fabijan Novoselec, Steve Novak
Anderson Varejao, Gustaf Kjellson, Julian Beck

I have started the season dreadfully with five straight losses. Well there is only one way and that's UP!

Ok, so you guys convinced me to start a 30 team association. I finished and saved it as a base. But my association with the League is gonna stay as 1-team.

I use to be a 1 team user and when I chose to go 30 team...my life was changed. Best choice I could possibly make.

Made the playoffs. FINALLY! Won my division before the Clippers and got #4 seed. First round was against the #5 seed Nuggets. Cameron played an awesome season, again. His stats dropped just a bit but he is still a superstar. 20.1PPG, 6.5RPG, 6.7APG, 1.4SPG and 1.4BPG. Second piece in Lakers future dynasty puzzle Kevin Love saw a significant decrease in stats as suspected. Love was the reigning two-time scoring and rebounding leader in Minnesota where he was the one and only option for scoring. Still a solid season with 20.1PPG, 11.0RPG and 3.0APG. Chandler Parsons played his worst season as a Laker. Love and Cameron made the All Star game and Cameron was named again to the 1st All-NBA Team. 1st round draft pick Tripplett was solid in the two guard spot. He's a bit of a liability in defense but those dunks. Vertical is off the court. Another surprising thing with Trey is his 3PT shot. Rating kinda sucks but still he sank over 35%.

So first round against Denver. Expected a bit tighter series but Denver was thinking the golf season ahead. Won the series 4-1. They had zero threat in the paint and relied on mid-range and 3PT shots. Lawson was a pain in the *** as usually. Gallinari was in flames in the regular season. Had to guard those two really tight and that helped.

Denver's starting five: Lawson, Shawn Porter, Gallinari, Faried and familiar face Robin Lopez. Few interesting players in the bench with Jabbar Wilson, Almondo Galloway, Kenneth Carter and Mike Muscala.

First game was a blowout. Denver had zero chances in that game. Trashed them 121-91. Tripplett played a career game with 28/4/3/2/2 and nailed 4/7 behind the arc.

Second game was my only loss as Nuggets won 102-110. Cameron put up a show with 41 points, 6 rebounds and 11 assists. Love apparently wasn't in the court with 5 points and 5 rebounds. Shooting 2/11, not really the stats of a carrying force.

Game three was also a blowout in Denver when Nuggets got booed of the court. 120-89 for Lakers. Cameron was on fire and finished with 40 points and 9 assists. Love woke up from deep freeze with 17/10.

Game four in Denver and Cameron was unstoppable again. 41 points, 8 rebounds and 13 assists. Kevin Love continued with good stats with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Final score 110-103.

Final game in the series as Lakers advanced to second round. Won the game 112-102. Cameron 34/5/9 and Love 22/12.

Cameron is averaging unheard stats in the playoffs. 36.2PPG, 5.0RPG and 10.4APG.

Next up is the #1 seed in Western Conference: New Orleans Pelicans. With fearsome starting five: Jrue Holiday, Tevin Harrison (replacing injured Austin Rivers who is out with torn MCL), Al-Farouq Aminu, Kurtis Holden and Anthony Davis with DeAndre Jordan as the 6th man. I'm gonna get killed in the paint.

For 30 team control is lineup management on or off for teams?

Depends on how much control you want. I personally leave it up to the cpu, but in played games I adjust both teams rotations(9-11 men depending on personnel)

Yea if you leave it off, everytime there's and injury you will have to go in and adjust rotations. I draw the line there lol, but as long as you shorten the rotations for played games you'll start to see some better cpu action and stats.

That's what I do. But b4 each season I go to each team and edits player roles in the player edit menu. For example take Detroit Johnson and make his role a STAR. Reasons being he will get 36-37 mins by the cpu, if you leave it at STARTER he may only get 34-35 mins.

I try to make sure that every team has its best lineups playing for the full game. Once those bottom of the bench guys enter the game in the 1st or 2nd qt it throws off the flow of the game in my opinion.

You don't have to go THAT deep with customization, but to get optimal stats and gameplay your gonna have to do a little work before you play....blame 2k lol

Yes and no lol. At 1st I didn't I let the cpu do it but last season I did make some coaching changes. Gave each coach a few seasons to get used to the players since it was an upstart LEAGUE with all rookies.
