Re: Dynast3 : A Miami Heat Association (2K13)
[I played most of the game, then the CPU starting cheesing and I simmed it.]
The Heat put down the defending champion Knicks in 7 games, earning revenge for last season. Yet the Heat were again eliminated in the playoffs, this time in the quarter-finals by the Chicago Bulls in six games.
Grant Hill retires.
Kevin Garnett retires.
Ray Allen retires.
Steve Nash retires.
Vince Carter retires.

Many are shocked Grant Hill did not make the Hall of Fame.
The Oklahoma City Thunder defeat the Chicago Bulls in 7 games to win the NBA Finals; Durant MVP.
New Head Coaches: the following teams hired new head coaches.
Charlotte Bobcats
Milwaukee Bucks
Boston Celtics
New York Knicks
Sacramento Kings
Utah Jazz
New Orleans Hornets
Atlanta Hawks
Memphis Grizzlies
Washington Wizards
Portland Trailblazers
Phoenix Suns
Toronto Raptors
Detroit Pistons
Indiana Pacers
Denver Nuggets
Brooklyn Nets
Orlando Magic
That's a shocking 60% of the league, with new head coaches.
The Heat have been eliminated in back to back seasons in the playoffs when they are expected to make, if not win, the Finals. The team GM, Pat Riley, had the following to say.
"This team is Finals-quality, Finals-caliber. Somebody tell me why, then, the Heat have not made the Finals in two seasons?" Riley was visibly frustrated.
Spoelstra also commented: "If the Heat do not make the Finals next season, I am stepping down as head coach."
Spoelstra may not need to step down. His new contract is only for one year, and GM Pat Riley clearly is frustrated. For the Heat, it is Finals or bust.
Breaking News! It is the end of an era in Miami. The big three is no more.Former league MVP and scoring title winner LeBron James has declined his player option, and will enter free agency.
"Last season, after the Knicks eliminated us in the playoffs, I was furious. I wanted to win the Finals. This past season, after we beat the Knicks but lost to the Bulls, I knew I was done. It's time to move on. It's the best decision for me to start over with a better team." James said.
Chris Bosh will also enter free agency.
"I'm not getting any younger, and I feel like I could do better in a different system." Bosh commented.
Somewhat luckily for the Heat, Dwayne Wade accepted his player option and will stay with the team.
"Why am I staying? I watched as LeBron and Chris left. I saw an opportunity. Win, lose or draw, this is my chance to become a true star. I was always living in LeBron's shadow, as well as I played. This team needs me." Wade said.
The Heat just might be in rebuilding mode, as they will have to replace LeBron James and Chris Bosh. Miami is also letting Shane Battier and James Jones, both aging, walk away.
The Heat must replace LeBron James and Chris Bosh, and have a strong need at small forward. The team also has a strong need at center.
