I must admit, this is creative and inspiring. Way to get your money's worth from a game. Much respect, awesome job!

Re: 2k13 Cleveland Cavaliers - Rise up and Rebuild

I also just finished my 2nd year w/ the Cavs and The Thunder also won the championship though Westbrook had won MVP, in my offseason I plan to sign Kris humphries because Tristan hasn't progressed well. I will target the Center position in the draft.

Re: 2k13 Cleveland Cavaliers - Rise up and Rebuild

The Off-Season is Officially here! The Thunder just got back from their Whitehouse visit and the rest of the league is getting ready to take down the Champs in 2014/15..

Here are a few players that are retiring from around the league.



Kevin Garnett (HOF)
19 pts - 10.4 reb - 3.8 ast - 1.3 stl - 1.5 blk - 1,415 games

KG played with that Old School mentality that many of today's young players simply don't have... Averaging a Career Double-Double is nothing to sneeze at and he will be a first ballot or should I say Instant Inductee to the Hall of Fame.




Ray Allen (HOF)
18.5 pts - 4 reb - 3.3 ast - 1.1 stl - 1,312 games

We all knew He Had Game, but, its hard to predict a Hall of Fame Career for someone at such a young age... Allen will go down one of the best 3-Pt shooters in league history.

Other retirees...

Shane Battier
Marcus Camby
Rasheed Wallace
Andre Miller

**COACHES**

George Karl



One of the most well liked coaches in the league and adored by his players Karl has been a great coach for many many years... His battle with Cancer has been inspiring and he is as great of a man as he is a coach...

Thanks man, Thanks for the love...

My real life Cavs, and, well... ALL my Cleveland teams pretty much suck, so, I gotta be creative and try and get some enjoyment out of my sorry "Cleveland Sports fan" life haha.

Re: 2k13 Cleveland Cavaliers - Rise up and Rebuild

hey man great stuff. had actually been thinking about starting a new association this in depth and such of my own using the cavs. I am truly a grizz fan at heart, born and raised in Memphis, but my best friend, and current roommate, is a Cavs fan and so I have always followed them and wanted them to do well, and Irving is just a ton of fun to play with in this game. But on to the questions I have.

1. In regards to the trades involving draft picks, did you make up the conditions on your own? And if so, how did you decide? Did you just kinda go off how it would be in real life?

2. Are you controlling all 30 teams, to decide how to pursue free agents and drafting players (and just set everything on automation for the 29 other teams)? Or do you only control the Cavs?

Thanks for the read man, glad you like it so far....

1. the trade i made with the Cavs and Mavericks (andy for their 1st and marion) wasn't going to have restrictions on it, but, after looking at it, and how the Mavs ended up, I didn't wanna screw them out of the #2 overall pick, so, I decided to make it lottery protected over the next couple years... i just traded the pick for some scrub from the mavs bench so they could get it back... Any of the other trades involving picks, I try to keep them realistic and let them fall where they may.

2. Yes i control all 30 teams... As much as i would like for the cpu to be able to handle running the teams, point blank they just can't... I'd much rather spend the extra time it takes to make sure other teams' rotations and things are correct then to have half the league "mad" about their playing time and demanding trades... Also, when controlling all 30 teams, it lets me really get into the league and how things are playing out... I think it adds a sense of immersion for me that wouldn't be there is i was only playing as the cavaliers...

anyway, take care, and thanks again for the read...

Re: 2k13 Cleveland Cavaliers - Rise up and Rebuild

Just read all of the posts in the last hour. I love it! I hope you are going to sign LeBron James. How was Trey Burke? He's someone I want to get to back up John Wall in my Wizards association. Great job! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the read... .Trey Burke is nice, I'll post his rookie stats for you when i get home this evening... He is a legit knock down shooter off the bench and really solid for me... He could probably start for a bunch of teams in the league haha so i feel lucky to have him coming off the bench for me, for a few years at least...
