Hello and welcome to From Player To GM-NBA 2k18 MyGM

Hello everybody. With the NBA season now underway, I have been getting the itch to make one last attempt at sticking with a NBA 2k18 MyGM here on Operation Sports. I have been reading through some other great dyanties on the forums here, so I finally decided to go ahead and try one more time to get in on the action. This will be my final attempt at a NBA 2k18 MyGM and I seriously hope that I am able to keep up with it and not get side tracked by all the other going-ons in my life such as work, college, and family life.

Why the Suns? Mainly because they are a dumpster fire waiting to happen in real life right now and I am hoping to be the one to finally turn this team around.

I will not discuss any settings or ratings in this MyGM, just basketball and only basketball. I will try not to do any crazy trades, or try to stock up on dozens of draft picks, as I think that take away for the reality of it..

Every six games of the season I will post team and league wide updates. Other than that I just want to have fun with the franchise, without getting too seriously involved in it as that has happened to me before and it makes it too easy to just drop things and have to restart again.

Also any comments/suggestions you might have to help me out along the way would be wonderful. What could I change/do different? You have a trade idea for me to make, let me hear it. Anything at all that could help me and make this dynasty more enjoyable for both you and me would be welcomed.

More details to come in future posts - stay tuned and enjoy!
