Played some simmed the rest since its the first year. I ended up losing in semi finals to the spurs. Ibaka won most improved player of the year and 2nd team defense Kevin durant won mvp and 1st team Off season Put my 1st round pick for this year and cole aldrich in trade finder and i ended up trading him to the pacers for there 1st round next year. Decided not to resign anyone and try to make a splash in free agency. I also figured this year i dont need any rookies since i want to work with this nice young team and want to keep the cap space for free agency. Free agency came and i had 17 mill in cap space and i noticed. Carmelo anthony in the free agency pool. I sent him an offer for 16.24 mill a year, Also sent tayshaun prince a 3 year 4.3 mill contract (mid level) And also looked in nba transactions and i saw that the jazz and 76ers waived nick collison and raja bell. Decided to pick them up from waivers and I also resigned jason kapono, nahz mohammed for the minimum. Carmelo ended up accepting my offer and tayshaun also accepted. Now my roster looks like this. Pg - Russel Westbrook, Eric Maynor, Royal Ivey Sg - Carmelo Anthony(i moved him to sg since durant is at the 3), james harden, Raja Bell Sf - Kevin Durant, Tayshaun prince, Jason Kapono Pf - Serge Ibaka, Nazr Mohammed, Nick Collison C - Kendric Perkins, Hasheem Thabeet, Drew Cook. Starters are Russel, Melo, Durant, Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins. Sixth man is James harden Role player 1, Tayshaun Prince Role player 2, Eric maynor I know melo isnt a 2 but i figured having him at the 2 will cause problems and give the thunder some height at the wing. Right now my project is thabeet, Ive been developing him and on training camp i put him to strength. My roster stands 15, but ivey, bell, collison, muhamad, and kapono are on 1 year contracts. So by end of next season ill have 10/15 with pacer draft pick and my draft pick. I also plan to target landry fields next off season but if i do that i might just send james harden somewhere because hes just to damn inconsistent. Who knows. Any ideas to make my team better?

I don't think there's enough points to go around on this team. I personally would use Bell as the starter and Harden backing him up.

Whats your lineup like? Hows Melo doing for your team. I am in playoffs. Artest is my second leading scorer in playoffs (after Kobe)

I am in 1st season as Lakers with
M. Ellis/ Kobe/ Artest/ Gasol/ J. Noah with Odom as 6th man

Its great melo westbrook durant combo compliment each other. If one gets cold the other 2 work with each other.

With ibaka and perk in the mid as the defensive anchors. Yeah they arent as fast as the first 3 and they seem to lag behind on offense, but still. The 3 shot punch combo works wonderfully.

I do agree ibaka is a lil weak but what i like atm is hes a hustle 4. I figured i can shop him around later but for now im looking to get rid of james harden.

Hes to inconsistent for me, hes good ive played with him on my player as the thunder and association but hes just to damn inconsistent for me.

Might look to package him with ibaka for a decent 4.

Love is averaging 19 and 10, Beasley is at 17 and 5. I'll post more axact numbers at all star break.

( cap room relief) After all the trades i have around 34.34 for the 2011 offseason and have alot of players under contract so i can make a run at a good free agent or just wait for the 2012 free agent class. So what do ya'll think ?

since i had close to 17.00million in cap room my first season i made two big trades to make my teams even better. first i traded jerryd bayless and reggie evans along with a 2011 first round pick to the nuggets for felton and thier 2nd round pick.

then i trade barbosa to the mavs for shawn marion

Nope. If you want to download the new rosters and use them in association mode, you have to start another association.
