Rate My Denver Nuggets

[raider1989]

I wanted to rebuild around billups because he is the only loyal person denver has and he went to the same high school as me i made all trade moves with trade override on and i ended with this lineup i have 3.94m in cap room and 35.94m in hard cap room

Starters
pg:Billups
sg:Josh Howard
Sf:Michael Beasley
pf:Blake Griffin
c: DeMarcus Cousins

Bench
pg:Avery Bradley
sg:Kelenna Azubuike/Jodie Meeks
sf:Al Thornton
pf:Tyrus Thomas/Dante Cunningham
c: Jason Thompson

1. Why have trade override on? It takes the challenge away

2. I am not sure building around Billups is wise due to his advanced age.
Aside from him you have 3 great young talents but by the time they reach their potential Billups will have retired.

I see you favor size mostly. Going with a large lineup should be interesting.

It's difficult to judge since it is a videogame so things like Beasley and Howard being crazy inconsistent might not apply. Otherwise, unless Griffin explodes for you, you don't really have any player that can take over the game putting a lot of pressure on Billups. I might also suggest a second PG since Avery can't really pass and is only So-so at offense but can defend well so you could put him at the 2 when subbing Howard and keep the opponent's SG locked down. Unless he's undersized which I can't remember at the moment. Still, id go with having a back up PG that can facilitate the offense so the team can stay in the game when Billups is out. These are all just opinions that fit my playstyle of course though so you might have something else in mind and like I said since its a game, Howard might meet his potential for once and become a solid scorer (i harbor a lot of resentment toward Howard...haha)

Never understood why ppl trade away their whole team...why don't you all just do a fantasy draft?? It makes no sense to me at all

I'm not going to lie, I have done random associations like this in the past. Trading everything for young talent to build into a powerhouse can be fun, though not realistic. It is the best part about a video game, you do what you want.

But to answer your question, I like doing it without a fantasy draft because I like playing the real teams, not fantasy ones. If I ran with this Nugget squad like OP, I would want to face the Super Friends in Miami, not Joe Johnson teamed up with Trevor Ariza and Andrew Bogut.
