I personally have GP, Kidd, Penny, D-Rose, AM Magic, PD West, and also really like PD Wade at PG. I sold off Tiny a while ago, never played him much at all. Wade and West are unsellable, of course. And out of the remainders, I think I may end up selling D-Rose, Penny, and Kidd, in that order, as that's order of MT value. If I could, I'd trade all three of those guys for 98 Oscar. I would consider trading all three of those guys plus GP for Oscar. My issue with Kidd is his standing jumper slowness and that his defense is not quite elite unless one uses a Shot Contest shoe. My issue with Penny is that he has no HoF badges and isn't a high-end outside shooter, nor elite in defense. My issue with Rose is that he is, for this level of player, a defensive liability and cannot be fit with a shoe that will help with that.

+1 I knew there's this reasoning why I always hold your opinions in high regard. Appreciate your thoughts.

EDIT: Two more games in Diamond League and Payton continues to shine, helping me force two quits. He is green light city from deep. I love his shooting animation. And on defense...my god. Whether I'm on balling with him or my opponent passes to the guy he's guarding, Payton is taking that ball away. I wasn't sure about playing him with Oscar, but it's already clear that this is my end game backcourt.

I followed your lead and I am having great success as well! Love the 1-2 punch of Oscar and Payton. Made Diamond league for the first time!

Here's my lineup in case anyone wants to chime in with their thoughts. I have also switched to using all 13 players, with Harden filling out my bench 1 and 2, KAT rotating in at the 4 and 5 and Connie Hawkins jumping in at the 3. I feel like this keeps everyone really fresh.

I've got about 500k saved for another sick diamond to drop. I really want like a Diamond Hakeem or a Diamond LBJ.

Congrats on making it to Diamond League! I'm glad the Oscar/GP backcourt is working for you, too. Since I got GP I'm 11-1 and I cleared Diamond League for the first time. He's an unparalleled destructive force on defense. He's the best defender I've used at any position, and his shot is wet, especially after I put a 250MT Silver Curry One shoe on him (boosts open 3 and moving mid to 99). He and Oscar are it for me. Let me know how you do in Diamond league!

If you still are in need of a big O, I just threw one up with Jordan 31s w/ +9spdwball, +9accel & +9steal on the auctions expiring around midnight PST. Boosts him to a 99 and makes him waaaaaay too OP as if he wasn't enough already
