Lineup advice/suggestions

[kabamaru]

thanks Qno

By the way, if tomorrow I can find a TBT LBJ badged up between 250-280 and sell mine current for 70-80 you think it is woth the update?

I played him with the historic Cavs a bit and he seems much better pick and roll handler plus much better shooter, which would create more shots for Curry also.

Of course I will be broke then, but I don't care, he is my favorite

Anyone got any advice for my lineup

Moments Whiteside seem like a great player but lacks the most important mental badge for a C: Defensive Anchor.
So I wouldn't use him in my lineup unless I have at least one other Defensive Anchor playing along side him.

That is true. Never saw that.

I have LBJ and Davis in my starting line-up with defensive anchor badge but it is true that in my second unit there is none. I don't know how much it matters. I was pretty sure that AK-47 would have it but no....

Who would you recommend?

For your bench, I would recommend selling Carmelo and buying Rockets T-Mac, who has defensive anchor. Play T-Mac at SG and Mullin at SF.
T-Mac can certainly be your go-to guy in offence and is much better defender that Carmelo.

I suppose your badged up Carmelo would sell for 18-20K (I sold mine for 22K last week) and last night I saw T-Mac selling for 40K with 20 badges. If you wait for a week you might grab him for as low as 30K.

After that you could consider replacing Ben Wallace with Moments Whiteside. I believe they worth pretty much the same in PS4.

I believe you will face difficulties against Zone defense. You could use extra shooting

To be honest I don't want to move Mullin to SF. my offenses usually get the SG for open shots.

Also to replace Melo I was thinking AS Gervin. I believe sooner or later he will reach 30k. My melo isn't fully badged up. I will never get more than 12-14 after tax

Yeah I think he is worth it, he may drop even further soon since MVP packs seem imminent. I've argued before that it's not obvious that MVP LeBron is better than the TBT and you'll have one of the best cards in the game. You can also think about upgrading AD to Russell, who is a much better post defender and rebounder.

I forgot that Whiteside doesn't come with def anchor, haven't used him in a while. Pippen would be a great alternative to T-Mac since he comes with both Floor General and Defensive Anchor, but I know that you haven't played Domination. Xou can also think about Moncrief at PG, Cooper at SG, Kawhi and Artest at SF. Might be good to have one of those defensive specialists anyway.

Or just use Ewing as your bench C and play a slower game. That card is still nasty, close to Hakeem.
