Even though Larry Legend is my favorite all-time player, I am thinking about getting rid of him to try to strengthen my team in other areas. Right now, the only starter that I have who I am certain I want to keep is KD. I don't know what to do.

What do you mean, you keep getting beat in the inside? Bigs posting you up, or perimeter players driving in? AD is great at defending the latter, but his low strength makes him a liability against great post-up bigs like Hakeem. You can get a cheap guy like DPOY Mutombo or DPOY Marc to counter those occasions if you want to stick with AD. Other good, but more expensive choices are Moments Marc and Historic Hakeem.


If you change your mind about Larry, selling him and getting DR Draymond instead should improve your team a lot. I would also consider getting a PG that can defend faster PGs like Westbrook. Westbrook/Wall/Billups are all great cheap choices, provided you can get them badged up.

You could also go big, sell Larry, get Hakeem, and play something like Billups/KD/LBJ/AD/Hakeem.

^agreed with everything. Only thing I would change from that lineup is put in klay over lebron at sg. Better shooting does help in rttp.

I get beat both ways you listed. One game it will be by bigs posting up, and the next game I will have someone continuously driving on me. My perimeter defense is pretty good.

How much is Hakeem right now?

They dropped his standing 3 a point last update, I think. I feel like they've been pretty charitable with him. Will need to drop his shooting a bit...But may further boost playmaking and/or layups and such to maintain Amethyst tiering.

Well, I ended up overhauling my lineup last night, and I think I am happy with it. At least for the moment, lol. I sold Lebron, Bird, CP3, and Raptors TMac, and bought Curry, Rockets TMac, and DPOY Wallace last night. Got a Wallace who had 10 gold badges for 10K. Rockets TMac is a beast for me on both ends of the floor. I may end up eventually trying to get enough MT to get Hakeem, but for right now, I am satisfied with my lineup.

That is one strong line up! I hate current Curry though. Feels slow and a liability on defense. His dynamic card is a different story though haha. I would of picked up AS Chris Paul instead. He's also a better shooter surprisingly. Mid is better and 3 ball is the same.

I seem to play pretty good defense with Curry. I am also better with his shot than I am with Paul.

Here is my lineup after some changes over the weekend. I sold Curry and bought Lebron and CP3. I am now 4-1 in the 4th seed. I am happy with my starting lineup, but when I have to go to the bench, my scoring and rebounding drop big time. Any suggestions as to what to do? I have about 40k MT right now.
