Purple Kings [NBA 2k18 MyLeague]
 


Welcome everybody to my new MyLeague with the Sacramento Kings!

With some recent problems with my Lakers career mode (that apparently got fixed in the last patch, or that is what 2k told me), I have been forced to abandon that thread and start again.

I figured I would keep up with the purple theme, yet now, I'd go with a different struggling team, one that never reached its glory - the Kings.
With a plethora of young talent and some intriguing veterans, I feel like this will be quite the project.

The season length will be 82 games, with me playing one game every week. It will include stories, not quite instantly, but I think I have a way to keep you lot interested.

Stay tuned and stay following!

Randolph drops as Kings pick up the pieces
October 18, 2017

The first half of the game already looked secured for the Rockets - they kept control of it the whole way, going into the second half with 10 points ahead. One of the best back-courts in the game, Paul and Harden, couldn't be stopped with any defense thrown at them by Sacramento.

Adding insult to injury, Zack Randolph picked up an injury, meaning he sat out for the rest of the second half. It later turned out that he twisted his ankle, meaning he would miss 6-8 weeks of action.

But the Kings looked completely different, whether it was the injury or one of the best talks from Joerger, they came out and completely grabbed the game by the horns and took control. The Rockets were shocked, as they were really struggling to find the answers to Hield and his shooting, Cauley-Stein on the boards or Fox with his passing.

Both Houston and Sacramento will face the Mavericks in their next game.

Twin-towers take charge
October 26, 2017

The "Twin-Towers 2.0" got the job done. They might have cut it close, but the Pels kept control of it in the end.

Sacramento was always on their tail, hitting big shots and never dropping far behind them. The biggest change of momentum came in the fourth quarter, with Hield and Hill hitting crucial shots to claw the game back. An even bigger move was when George Hill forced Cousins to foul him, meaning he earned his sixth foul - with 2.41 to go. Hill went to the line and tied the game up, but it was Darius Miller with a big 3 to give them the lead back.

After that, Davis kept control, with two big blocks and forcing turnovers, giving the Pelicans a comfortable win.

Coach Alvin Gentry was proud of his team's fight to the end. "Away from home, Sacramento is a tough place to play as well, but we kept fighting and we got the win. I don't know if we were the better team, but the win is all that matters."

The Kings will face the Wizards in the next game, while the Pelicans go on to face Cleveland.

Nice to see a Sacramento dynasty going. I actually really like their team, mostly because I've always liked their vets Z-Bo, Carter and Hill. Plus, they have a nice you core mostly from this draft but from the last few, as well. The possibilities are really endless with them but it's going to be a tough road to do anything of significance in a stacked Western Conference. I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do with them. Good luck.

Thanks for the response! I also agree that the mix of the team currently feels right. The only problem that I have, is our pick situation. Sure, we have one pick for next year, but the amount of certain talent in next years draft, I am trying to get an additional first one pick for next year. I guess I'll see if that is even possible.

Russ, George take the lead early
November 1, 2017

Triple-double king was at it again.

Russell Westbrook was giving the Sacramento guards a headache. With his scoring and passing, Oklahoma took a big early lead, going 16-2 at the start of the quarter. Surprisingly, the shooting of Abrines was one of the keys to the start - he made 2 of his 4 threes in the first quarter.

The Kings had some good production from their bench, outscoring Oklahoma's bench by 23 points. Most notably, Fox and Labissiere gave good production, and the Kings started pulling it back.

But a third-quarter melt-down completely shifted the game again, with George and Russ taking control and finishing the Kings once and for all.

Sacramento will play the Pistons next game, while Thunder faces the Nuggets.
