Been offered a trade of Noah for M Gasol, pretty new to the game, so need some advice. First season and I've got Ben Wallace as backup. Thoughts? Noah seems better stats wise IMO. Thoughts?

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Stick with Gasol. Wallace can do what Noah offers. There's no point in having the two of the same player in your rotation. Gasol bangs and gives you some decent post offense. Also, he has a descent mid range jumper which Noah does not. -
Re: Noah vs M Gasol
I would pull the trigger. Gasol is a solid all around center, but Noah is faster, and a better rebounder and defender. You won't get much offense from him, but it's not like you'll get 20 points from Gasol either. The difference in offensive production is minimal, but it's worth the defensive benefits.
Wallace cannot do what Noah does. That's why he's a back up.
But at the end of the day, it depends on who you have on your team. If you have a very defensive oriented PF, maybe keep Gasol. If you have a more offensive or rounded PF and potent offensive weapons on the wings, Noah is the better choice.Comment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Cheers for the feedback mate, it's hard knowing what the best option is when your pretty new to the game. Just trial and error I guess.
Cheers for the feedback, real insightful which helps us newbie's so much lol. At PF I've got a rotation of T Gibson and T Young. So which would u suggest?Re: Noah vs M Gasol

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Thought I'd post my team....
Rose / CP3 / Mills
Iverson / Matthews / Created Player
Gay / Deng
Gibson / Young
Gasol (been offered Noah back, traded blindy earlier) / Wallace
New to the game so not sure what you will think...
I know having Paul and Rose is wack and unrealistic but it is a video game after all...meant for enjoyment.Last edited by Cairns_baller; 06-01-2011, 09:16 AM.Comment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
I play with the Grizzlies all the time and M Gasol is so good in this game if you know how to play him. He has a very consistent mid range jumper which is nice for a 7 footer. He is great on defense, and his offense is above average.
GET GASOLComment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
If you have Gibson starting at PF I'd keep Gasol for sure.Comment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Yeah you need some scoring in the post. Gasol does that and has a good mid range shot.Originally posted by Kaiser WilhelmComment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
That team has more than enough scoring around the perimeter/between your 1-3 positions, which leaves you in a strange situation. You really could use a post scorer, since Taj Gibson isn't exactly the most offensively potent guy in the world (though still a solid guy to have). Gasol obviously is your post scorer, but with the amount of scoring you should be able to get between your wing players, you really don't need a ton of scoring from the post (aside from obviously needing to score in the post to keep your offense from being stagnant.
I'd really say that you should get rid of CP3 or Rose to get a offensive minded PF, and maybe then look at Gasol for Noah (defensive purposes). Gasol isn't a bad defender, but Noah is undoubtedly the better of the two when it comes to that.
A offensive post presence is definitely crucial when you're needing to slow down the game and get some quality looks at the basket. I'm just realizing that as I've adjusted my sliders (using Sword and Armors) and turned up the difficulty. Slowing down the other teams runs with a post up is so clutch.Last edited by Drewski; 06-01-2011, 04:21 PM.Follow me on Twitter@DrewGarrisonSBNComment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Cheers for the feedback mate, the only reason I have both Rose and Paul is because CP3 wanted out. But defense is my main concern at the moment and so far Gibson isn't doing what I hoped. Trying to find a combination that works but no luck so far. Would you consider Hickson for Gibson?
I'm using Chia's sliders and they seem very realistic. I'm still getting used to isomotion though, fun but challenging!Last edited by Cairns_baller; 06-01-2011, 05:45 PM.Comment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Way off topic, and slightly trolling, but how is having a team that good even any fun?Comment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
Coming from a mavericks supporter? Troll definitely detected.
Also, Cairns_Baller? As in the Cairns Taipans?
Last thing, Ben Wallace does exactly what Noah does. Offensive Boards, Blocked shots and Defence. You need those things? Bring Wallace on. No point in having a back up who only mirrors your starters.Comment

Re: Noah vs M Gasol
If I had this team, I would keep / trade back for Noah. Then I would trade Chris Paul for someone like Blake Griffin or Amare Stoudemire because your weakest position is the PF spot. Griffin or Stoudemire would give you a post threat to free up your other players and some more rebounding in addition to Noah. It'd also give you a bona fide pick and roll tandem. Remember, rebounding controls the game. Gasol isn't as good a rebounder as Noah, and it looks like that's one element your team is lacking.
I would trade Paul because there is no possible way you will be utilizing both Paul and Rose optimally, even if they were on the floor at the same time. They both create offense and are, at best, shaky shooters. And there aren't enough minutes for the both of them. Rose is bigger, more athletic and younger, so I'd keep him over Paul.
But really, though this is off topic, the issue on your team is why you have two superstar point guards. Noah vs Gasol is trivial at this point, haha. Use those assets and make your team more balanced.
That's what I would do. Just a suggestion.Comment
