**2K17 - How's your MyLeague/MyGM going?**

[J.R.]

So in my goal to keep a MyGm going 20+ years, I went back to my Lakers MyGM, and quit from the position, taking over the Grizzlies. We sim to the offseason and the Grizzlies are ****ed cap space and talent wise (some what)

Here's my starting five.

PG: Ty Lawson
SG: A. Afflalo
SF: L. James (happened year 1, still don't get it.)
PF: P. George
C: Marc Gasol


Now there's a big three there. But I have no bench, and no cap. I hate playing that way. I plan to get rid of James as this is his contract year, dump George after this this season, and build around Gasol+ Draft picks.

I'm in the NBA Finals of my yearly 29 game Preseason Fantasy Draft league. Right now it's my Timberwolves (led by Kawhi Leonard, Deandre Jordan, and Serge Ibaka) against the Hawks (led by Steph Curry, Kevin Love, and Andrew Wiggins).

My Timberwolves went 28-1 in the regular season (playing on HOF difficulty) and have gone through Chris Paul's Pelicans, Kevin Durant's Lakers, and LeBron James' Grizzlies to get to the NBA Finals.

I'm gonna be streaming the remaining games if anyone wants to check them out.

Sure. The top link in my signature, the St. Louis MyLeague, is where I'm doing this all, but basically it goes likes this:

I created an expansion team and based it in St. Louis (not premade), did another one and based it in Kansas City (used the premade Knights). I used the "start in offseason" option and redid the 2016 offseason, determining where people went.

Wade stayed in Miami, I had Horford stay in Atlanta, and I did the Rose to Knicks trade, with Noah signing with the Knicks. My squad, the St. Louis Flight, ended up with the 4th overall pick -- we took Thon Maker (big believer in him). The rival Kansas City Knights took Jaylen Brown and hired David Blatt as HC. We hired Kevin McHale.

I signed Delladova and Eric Gordon in free agency (Gordon on a 1-year prove it deal). My starting five in year 1 was Delly, Gordon, Holls Thompson, Thon Maker, and Joffery Lauvergne. Bench was Joe Young, Delon Wright, Jared Dudley, Michael Gbinije, and Jordan Mickey -- I played a deep bench in year 1 to see what worked/didn't.

We ended up finishing 32-50, the Knights finished with the worst record in the league. We had the sixth best odds at getting the 1st overall pick, the Knights had the best odds. They ended up with the 1st overall, but we jumped up and got 2nd overall -- the Knights took Markelle Fultz, PG from Washington. We took Josh Jackson.

In Year 2 my lineup was Delly, Wright, Jackson, Maker, and our big FA signing, Nerlens Noel. Bench was DeMarre Carroll (acquired in a salary dump from Toronto), Lauvergne, Mickey, and Joe Young. We went 46-36, managed to get the 5th seed in the playoffs and took the Pelicans to 7 games in the 1st round -- we lost Jackson to a broken ankle in Game 1, but my team rallied and nearly pulled off the upset.

The Knights finished with a record of 29-53, horrible and that was after signing Paul Millsap (they offered him insane money) in free agency. I'm doing the the 2018 offseason now for all 32 teams and things are looking interesting.

And that's the short version.

Mygm season 2:
As I said before I switched to the Grizzlies in the same save file. I was the Lakers GM before. The Grizzlies are screwed cap space and talent wise (some what)
*Here's my starting five after the off season,
PG : Ty Lawson
SG: Afflalo
SF: LeBron (signed there before I joined )
PF: Paul George
C: Marc Gasol

Note able bench players:
Brice Johnson
Tauren Prince
Jonas Jerebko
Ian mahinmi
Brandon Jennings



Now initially they had Patrick Patterson and some bench players worth the same amount that George's contract alone is. But I had to dump them for George because:

A. The owner said "win now" & gave me the goal of getting a big three.

B. It gives me someone to play as anyway this year, and when I dump LeBron's massive contract, I can rebuild around picks+George+Gasol+Bench.


****** GAME 1/82 POR (1-0) v. MEM (0-0)
No long write up this time, just a few small notes . Defense & rebounding are atrocious. Might have to make some moves to improve those. Any recommendations would be nice. But game 1 and LeBron AND Pg13 goe down with a twisted right ankle. The same injury. And will be out for up to 3 weeks.* Great. So it's all up to Gasol, then?

Noteworthy performances:
CJ Mccollum: 33 pts, 6 reb, 9 ast
P George 16 pts, 8 reb, 7 ast

POR wins 116-102

So game 2, no LeBron or George and we face the Phoenix Suns. (1st seed last year!)

Winner : MEM 102 -87 PHX.

Breaking news: Memphis strikes deal with city of Vancouver to move back after 2018-2019 post season; will once again become known as "Vancouver Grizzlies." Memphis fans not happy.


Game 3 (still no Pg13 or LeBron) v. LAL

Memphis picks up a 95-86 win thanks to a 21 point outing by role player Brandon Jennings.


SCOUTING: Shareef o Neal is making waves in college, his last game he scored 40 points, had 14 assists, and 16 reb. He's the projected #1 ovr pick and many think he will go to the San Diego Surf or Cleveland Cavs.

MVP* last season :Chef Curry

Championship winner last year: Minnesota Timberwolves, they swept NO.

League Leaders this year :
Points: Demar Derozan 38 ppg
Ast: Damian Lillard: 13.3
Reb: Karl Anthony Towns (15.5)

^Right?! In almost all of my sim forward MyLeagues with default rosters, that happens. Easily 7 out of 10 ... it's hilarious and wrong all the same. Like Durant would choose the Nets; I feel like whomever programmed the Wizards being utterly horrible last year, programmed the Nets getting Durant.

Instead of torturing a fanbase through virtual misery, the guy's torturing the Nets through virtual delusions.

[J.R.]

Are they one of the only teams that can afford him? Sometimes that happens with LeBron, but it depends on where everyone else in the league goes
