How's Your Association Going? (2K11)

[Squirrel_Dude]

Started an Association with the Jazz, and immediately began rebuilding. Derrick Favors and Al Jefferson are the only players left. from that team.

Got 4 first 2011 first round picks. I am able to sign

Jimmer
Alec Burks
Chris Singleton
Bismack Biyambo

I trade my 2 2012(Mine and Lakers) picks for Sacremento 2012 first round pick, it ends up being number 4, and I sign

Doron Lamb.

During my trades for first round picks, I pick up:

Landry Fields
Larry Sanders

In 2013 Free agency, I let Devin Harris walk (85, 28 yrs old) and sign Jrue Holiday (85, 23 yrs old).

My Lineup is now:
Starters (Ratings w/ Chemistry effect)
Jrue Holiday (87 ovr)
Alec Burks (85 ovr)
Chris Singleton (84 ovr) (already 2nd all defensive team, love it)
Derrick Favors (88 ovr)
Al Jefferson (89 ovr)

Bench
Jimmer (77 ovr) - JJ Barea/Vinie the Microwave
Landry Fields (85 ovr) and Doron Lamb (75 ovr) - Good Shooters on a bench is always a plus
Bismack Biyambo (74 ovr) and Larry Sanders (75 ovr)- Defensive/Athletic Big Men

Jerry Sloan is still my coach, and is locked up for a while. Just like all the players who I've locked up for a couple years, or are still on rookie contracts.

It's amazing how much one player's injury can affect how your team plays. It's also amazing how many bad calls your team can endure, but then have to live with the fact that the referee didn't make up ANY of the terrible calls in our favor! There were countless times where there was no way it could be a shooting foul, but the referee still called a foul on one of my players.

Larry Bird picked up 2 quick fouls early in the 1st quarter. He saw bench time for the rest of the 1st and almost half of the 2nd quarter. Everyone thought big things would happen once Larry Bird returned out onto the court. Instead, Larry went on a cold streak picking up only 4 points in the first half. We ended up getting outscored 42-35 in the 1st half of action.

The team came out strong in the 3rd quarter, but we still got outscored 27-24. Larry Bird exploded in the 2nd half picking up 30 points and carrying his team on his back. Unfortunetly, his effort alone wasn't enough to stop Toronto from taking this game away. Despite Bird's 34 points, 10 rebounds, steal, and block, the Raptors were able to capture a 94-88 victory in Memphis.

"I feel like it's my fault", said Bird after the game. "I let down my team when I picked up those fouls in the first quarter."

Toronto's PF, Jay Vincent, was injured in this game. He left the game with a severe ankle sprain that will put him out of action for 2-4 weeks.

Now, the bad thing about this loss is that Memphis doesn't get any type of break other than the rest they'll have on their way to Charlotte. To make matters worse, the Grizzlies now get to face a GREAT PG in Magic Johnson.

The Grizzlies have signed a free agent point guard, Steve Colter. While his overall rating is better than Johnny Moore's current "injured rating", Johnny Moore will still start the game against the Bobcats.

The wolves are my secondary team to the celtics and I use them also for association. I traded Wesley because in his profile it said he's definetly becoming a free agent when his contract was up. even though hes my favorite player on the team, i had to trade him because i dont want to get nothing for losing him.

year one i had the fifth pick even though i shouldve gotten the second or first, getting Jonas Val. Hes who i wanted anyway second to Knight. Picked up Farried in the second (steal), and Malcolm Lee. My roster in year two is

Louis Williams/ Luke
JR Smith/ Evan Turner
Beasley/ Webster
Love/ Ant Randolph
Jonas/ Deandre Jordan

fired Rambis' dumb self, got Larry Brown. Also fired bickerstaff i think it was, and got Stephen Silas.

and my records pretty positive going on about two months of games. Sixth or seventh in the west right now. Pretty happy about it since last year we were the 2nd worst team record wise. JR, Beasley, and Love do most of the scoring. Jonas is averaging 12 and 8. While i do like Louis, I really would like a pure point guard hopefully in this draft. Farried and Lee are both in the D League. Farrieds averaging 12 points, 16 rebs, 1 steal, 1 block. Pretty solid if u ask me lol. Hopefully we can make the playoffs this year even though most likely we will begin to lose later on like always haha. turners only averaging 10 and 3 with like 24 mpg, but we are winning games and thats all i care about.

Havent been here in awhile but started up nba 2k11 again. Dled the updated rosters for 2k12 and decided to play the rockets. After yao retires.

Saw a thread about this trade and it intrigued me, so i decided to make a block buster trade right away 3 team trade.

atl rockets 76ers

Hawks get
Luis Scola,
Louis Williams,
2 2nd round picks 76ers

76ers get
Kevin Martin
Jeff Teague
Rockets 1st round pick

Rockets get
Josh Smith
Andre iguodala


With this trade everyone wins, Hawks get rid of josh smith for luis scola whos a defensive minded beast and can add some depth to the front court.
While losing a young pg in teague they gain a scorer mentality pg in louis williams. Plus the 2nd round picks that come with it.

76ers have been trying to get rid of iguodala and tryign to increase jrue holidays mins and improvement.
They do so by getting an instant scorer in kevin martin and another young pg to back up holiday. Plus a 1st rounder.

Rockets benifit from this because they get a better scorer in martin and another big man 4 who can fill the gap that yao left.

[mistamike]

I made a 2nd trade as well. Since rockets have no real star center i figured id make a move and since i acquired Josh smith i know have a log jam at the 4 with 5players i decided to make a trade with the pacers.

Pacers gets
Chuck Hayes
Marcus Morris
Jordan Hill
2nd round pick

Rockets gets
Roy Hibbert

Even though the pacers do get smaller by doing this trade, i think theyll do this because Hibbert tends to get injured here and there. Pacers bench get a lot stronger and younger with Marcus Morris (4/5) and Prospect Jordan Hill. They also get defensive specialist chuck hayes.

Now my lineup looks like this.

Pg - Kyle Lowry, Johnny Flynn, Goran Dragic
Sg - Andre Iguodala, Courtney Lee
Sf - Terrence Williams, Chase budinger
Pf - Josh Smith, Patrick Patterson
C - Roy Hibbert, Donatas Motiejunas, Hasheem Thabeet.

i did this drastic changes to the staff and giving newly staff contracts because there cheap and in time they will either grow into a good staff or bad one while only asking there starting contract price. Gives me staff budget eventually in the future to hire a better coach than rick adelman and a better assitant coach eventually other than max wells.
