    The Rebirth of The Highlight Factory! Atlanta Hawks Rebuild!

    Starting a new NBA 2K18 my gym mode, I will be rebuilding the Atlanta Hawks. So I know 2K does the whole new story line first year of it’s my gym mode. In the first year I will be trading all my draft picks away because I don’t want to use them on any of 2K first year auto draft class guys because Jackson Baldwin, Freddie Staples and Mirko our all monsters. Goal is to make this fun and enjoyable, I will try and post once a day. Let’s rebuild the Atlanta Hawks! I will probably Sim year one with twist not many, and Year two with more. After the first draft class I can upload and draft when I will play.



    Rules:
    1. 12 mins Q
    2. Difficult: Custom Sliders
    3. I will try and make realistic trades but I have to also try and rebuild this team! If y’all the Fans think the trade isn’t fair let me know!
    4. Again MyGm first year has some crazy first year draft class so I will be trading the 18 first round picks down for only 1st round picks 2019.
    5. NO TRADE FINDER WILL BE USED FOR TRADES.

    Why did you make another thread about the Atlanta Hawks when you already have 2 going with the same exact team?

      I just decided to make a new user name, and delete my other account or at least try to. I had two threads going same team one thread died when my 2K decided to make the teams in the playoffs get all the lottery picks and the worst teams ended up with the end of the first round picks. Then for some reason I just decided to start from scratch with a new user name and new form.

      My plan is to have an on going NCAA Football form, same with college hoops 2K8 even during offseason I’ll just pick up where I left off. Not sure about Madden and NBA 2K yet, I wish these games had what the MLB the Show had where you can upload the same Dynasty on the next year game.

      Sorry to everyone or whoever was reading my last two, I just figured start from scratch with only one form for my Hawks Dynasty. I was getting messages from my first post Dynasty and my second one with the Hawks.

          Re: The Rebirth of The Highlight Factory! Atlanta Hawks Rebuild!

          Atlanta Start to the first month of the year has been challenging. They going into December with a 7-14 record which is expected from a rebuilding team. But team owner Lewis Meyers has made it publicly known nobody on this team can be traded with his approval.

          Lewis Meyers told the AJC: “This offseason I built this team. These are my guys and I want this team to stay together with no trades.”

          Travis Glenn told the AJC: “I understand Lewis point but why have me here as a GM if I can’t make trade or sign anyone. I’m pretty much an babysitter.”

          Injuries have been hard the first month of the season with Taurean Prince, Dennis Schroeder, Dwayne Dedmon and now Tyler Cavanaugh all injured. One bright spot is John Collins who is averaging 17 PPG and 12 Rebounds.

          The month of December was another rough one with the Hawks only picking up 3 wins to make them 10-26, 3rd worst record in the NBA. On top of that the GM and Owner have been publicly butting heads.

          GM TG “I’ve tried everything to put a trade together and had so many offers ready to go but the Owner still thinks this team can win, that’s why we have the third worst record in the NBA.”

            Re: The Rebirth of The Highlight Factory! Atlanta Hawks Rebuild!

            Hawks after All-Star break would go 9-14 to end the record 26-56 tied for 2nd worst record in the NBA. Once the season ended owner Lewis Meyers made a huge announcement.

            LM: “I will be letting GM Travis Glenn take full control of the team and basketball operations. This is the first time in 10 years. I told the staff I wanted this team to stay the way it was since I made all the moves before Travis Glenn came into the picture. I’m sorry to my staff, players and fans.”

            But not all sat well if a few players after Lewis Meyers press conference. Dennis Schroeder and John Collins went straight to Travis Glenn to demand a trade. Both players said “We don’t wanna player for a organization who just doesn’t have leadership it’s a dictator and we are out.” Dennis Schroeder added “This is the first year I haven’t been in the playoffs and when I have been we never were a real threat to winning a title and that’s what I want a championship.”

            Travis Glenn said “Hopefully after the season we can sit down figure this out, we need these two guys to be our main part of our rebuild.”

              Re: The Rebirth of The Highlight Factory! Atlanta Hawks Rebuild!

              Hawks going into the offseason have a lot of questions to be answers and with. I draft picks the Hawks first concern is will they bring back Mike Budenholzer for there head coaching position.

              NBA Draft Lottery:

              IMG_0622.jpg


              Hawks pick which was traded to the Suns landed number 4 overall.

              Coaching Staff:
              Two positions are open head coach and assistant coach. Hawks have said they plan on given Coach Bud one more year to improve this team which will mean Darvin Ham will probably come back.

              Breaking News: Hawks bring back Coach Bud and Darvin Ham on one year deals.

              GM TG: “I’m happy that coach Bud accepted the job. I know it was hard when the team struggling so much last year and he used to making the playoffs. I’m hoping he can improve the team and we will call that a successful season next year.”

              Coach Bud: “I’m grateful the Hawks gave me one more year. I know a few guys want out but whatever team we put out there next year, we will improve I promise you that.”

              As soon as the press conference ended reports came out saying the Hawks threw everything they could at Jason Kidd to become the next head coach but he turn them down the next day.

              Hawks who have zero draft bring in Brice Baker out of Penn State for a workout. Hawks GM said “There is a possibility of them jumping into the draft to draft this kid to become our starting PG next year.”

              A day before the draft Hawks new President of Basketball operations made a surprising move:

              IMG_0632.jpg

              GM Travis Glenn said “I’m glad we made this move for our future and next year draft class is 100% better than this year.”

              NBA Draft Trades:
              1. Dennis Schroeder goes to Orlando for Orlando 1st Round 2019 pick.
              2. Derrick Favors Jazz 24 pick goes to Dallas for there 9th pick and 2019 2nd round pick

              After the Draft Owner Lewis Meyers tells the media “ Sad day to see Dennis go and to a team in our own division but it needed to be done. He wanted out and that was the best move for us.”

              Draft
              #1 Bulls get Freddie Staples
              #2 Knicks get Jackson Baldwin
              #3 Kong’s get Mikroc Petrovic

              Free Agency: Hawks biggest question is who will they sign to be the starting PG and SG of the team. Isiah Taylor returns with Tyler Dorsey but will they go after other guys to become the starters. Dwayne Dedmon accept his player contract.

              Hawks have sign 3 new players first day of free agency:
              PG Quinn Cook

              IMG_0633.jpg

              SG Malik Beasley


              SF Former Great Joe Johnson

              IMG_0634.jpg

              Biggest Moves in Free Agency:
              Lakers Sign Paul George
              Knicks sign DeAndra Jordan

              World vs USA Game:
              The entire Atlanta Hawks Staff was on hand to watch next year draft class.

              Stand outs USA:
              Mohamed Bamba 22 Pts
              Michael Porter 22 Pts

              LaMelo Ball 13 Pts 5 Ast
              Luka Doncic 12 Pts 10 Reb 4 Ast

              MVP: DeAndre Ayton

              Coach Bud: Wow is all I can say.
              Owner Lewis Meyers: One of the best draft classes I’ve seen.
              GM TG: I’m very excited we got a lot of picks for next year draft. So much talent so many game changers

              LaMelo got to play in today game and is eligible for the draft next year but will have to sit out one full year.

                Re: The Rebirth of The Highlight Factory! Atlanta Hawks Rebuild!

                Hawks go into the new season with one goal in mind............. #1 pick in the draft. But a lot of pressure is on the coach Mike Budenholzer to have a better season then last. The team roster has a lot of the same faces on it but there are two new starters.

                Starters:
                PG: Quinn Cook
                SG: Malik Beasley
                SF: Taurean Prince
                PF: John Collins
                C: Dewayne Dedmon

                Rotation:
                C: Mike Muscala
                C: Invicta Zubac
                SF: Joe Johnson
                SF: Luol Deng
                PG: Isaiah Taylor

                Bench:
                PF: Tyler Cavanaugh
                C: Miles Plumlee
                SF: DeAndre Bembry
                SG: Tyler Dorsey
                PG: Josh Magette

                Hawks started the season 1-6 but they turn things around quick. The next 23 games they would go 12-11 to have a record of 13-17 going into Christmas Day.

                Breaking News:
                Hawks Trade: John Collins Tyler Dorsey and a 2020 2nd round pick

                For

                Bulls: 19 1st round pick, Reinaldo Viana and Justin Holiday.

                IMG_0635.jpg

                Hawks GM said “John and the Organization wasn’t on the same page. He was a distraction for the team. Always complaining about something killing the team morale.”

                Dwayne Dedmon told the AJC “No direction in this team. We are just all on edge waiting to get traded for draft picks it feels like.”

                Owner Lewis Meyer has suspended Dwayne Dedmon for 5 games.

                Hawks after Dwayne Dedmon call out of the organization would just go on to lose. At one point lost 10 straight. But right before the trade deadline the Hawks got rid of its core and make two big trades for the future.

                Hawks Trade: Taurean Prince, Dwayne Dedmon and 2022 1st round pick
                For
                Pistons: Ish Smith and 2019 1st round pick

                Hawks Trade: Justin Holiday and Isaiah Taylor
                For
                Thunder: Ty Lawson, Kyle Singler and 2019 1st round pick

                Hawks record going into the All-Star break 21-37

                Coach Bud told the Media “I have no clue what will happen next year, I don’t know if they will bring me back in Atlanta or not. But I’ll tell you one thing in 2-3 years with this draft and the talent in the class..... The Hawks will own the East if everything comes together like I believe the organization plans on doing. There so much talent, I’m thinking anywhere from 2-5 future hall of famers, 5-15 guys who could be all-stars. The GM who now runs everything in the organization, has a plan and he’s stuck to it. It’s either get on board or jump off the ship.”

                Atlanta Hawks Head Scout Lucas Flory “We have been working one stop, everyday, every second on this year draft class and let’s just say there is no wrong pick. There so much talent in this year class, the potential is just crazy. But with that being said, we need to know which guys will come in and work everyday to get better. Some players never reach there potentials simply because they stop working, don’t have the drive that they had to just make the NBA. That’s where we gotta be 100% about who we are picking. Will they have the same work ethic, do they have the characteristics to become the face of a franchise, those are the questions I have for these guys. But with Coach Bud he is absolutely right there could be 5-15 All-Stars and maybe 5 future hall of famers.”

                      The Hawks after the All-Star break would go on and just keep losing, with only 5 wins after all star break. Before the last game of the year the Hawks made a game changing announcement.

                        Off-Season:

                        Hawks Number one option is the off-season, they have so many chances at being the number one pick in the draft. The Hawks GM spoke out to the 92.9 the game.

                        GM Travis Glenn: “This is the most important draft of our life’s. The ping pong balls mean everything to us. This is the most important draft in Hawks history!!!!!”

                        Hawks didn’t go to the draft combine but workout 12 players this year, After Hawks made Draft profiles for players, Hawks hold picks: 1, 2, 4, 7, 18, 2nd round 13 and 18

                        Draft Profiles:



                        Draft Profiles:
                        1. DeAndra Ayton the number one overall player on most mock drafts, Ayton been mostly compared to David Robinson but I believe he can be like Joel Embiid but more athletic. Ayton averaging 23 pts, 15.6 Rebounds and 5.7 blocks per game.

                        2. Luka Doncic could go anywhere from 2-10 just depends on what the teams needs. He often been compared to Gordon Heyward or Manu Ginobili. Luka averages this year 28 Points per game 6 Rebounds 6 Assist on 50% shooting from 3.

                        3. Collin Sexton Aka Young Bull is a tough strong athletic PG. Hes another guy that’s a top 5 prospect but with this loaded draft class he could go father down the draft. He’s been compared to Russell Westbrook and Eric Bledsoe. He’s averages this year 18 Points 3 Rebounds 6 Assist and 2.6 steals per game. A local kid from a high school in Georgia the Hawks are high on the year his Georgia talent.

                        4. Trae Young Mr. College Basketball, the kid can shoot from anywhere. He has the Steph Curry range and will pull up from half court if needed. He average this year 28 Points, 10 Assist this year.

                        5. Marvin Bagley, an NBA GM once said this kid is a once in a generation type player. He will have to improve his defense at times he takes plays off on that end. Best NBA comparison is Chris Bosh but some say if he can learn how to dribble better he could be a Kevin Durant type player. Most big boards have him going 1 or 2 with Ayton. He’s averages this year 21 Points, 15 Rebounds, 4 blocks per game.

                        6. Michael Porter Jr. only played (real life) three games this year due to a back injury but in those games everyone came out saying he has Kevin Durant potential. Most draft boards have him going anywhere from 3-7. He’s averages 28 points 8 rebounds and 5 assist per game.

                        7. Mo Bamba the long range center. This guy has a 8 foot wing span, will need to put weight on but has the potential to maybe be an Anthony Davis type guy or better with his length, some say he could also be Rudy Gobert. He average 17 points, 16 rebounds, 4 blocks per game this yr.

                        8. Kevin Knox had flashes of being a top 3 player in the draft but at times would just stand around and watch, this guy has potential to be a Paul George in the league. He average 20 points, 8 rebounds per game.

                        9. Wendall Carter the other forgotten big guy for Duke this year. Most people wouldn’t talk about him because of Marvin Bagley but him and Marvin destroy teams this year. He has potential to be great if teams take the time to develop him. He average 23 points, 11 rebounds, 3 blocks per game next to Marvin Bagley

                        10. LaMelo Ball brother of Lonzo Ball the kid has potential to be better than his brother. Youngest guy in the draft but will have to sit out a year before playing. Some coaches say he’s uncoachable due to his loud mouth father, some say he just has fun playing the game and has mature yet. He average 22.5 points, 10assist per game overseas.

                        NBA Draft Hawks:
                        #1: Luka Doncic SG/PG Real Madrid

                        Hawks GM: “This guy a gamer! He been playing pro basketball since the age of 12. He dominated the second best pro league. We are super excited to have him.”

                        #2: DeAndra Ayton C Arizona

                        Hawks GM: “Ayton just a monster! Showed great work ethic and drive. He keeps that same mentality he will be a hall of famer!”

                        Trade back to the Nets for Pick #5 and #18 pick 2nd round
                        Trade back for the Heat #6 pick and future first round pick


                        #6: Trae Young PG Oklahoma

                        Hawks GM: “Mr. College basketball! The guy had the Curry ability but will have to work to get stronger and smarter!”

                        Trade back for pick number #9 and #16 from Boston


                        #9: Mikal Bridges for Villanova

                        Hawks GM: “Scorer!”

                        Hawks GM after the draft: We hit every where we scouted all year! We got the guys we wanted! This is the Hawks future. It’s time for us to develop these guys, and see what they are made of.

                        Hawks going into the free Agency period has question still everywhere. They have one PG on roster, but we believe Luka Doncic will be the teams back up PG and DeAndra Ayton the only team big man.

                        Hawks need PG: 1. PF: 2-3. C: 1-2

                        Hawks before the season started had trouble in the locker room. Devante Graham and Malik Newman had issues and run in at Kansas with Billy Preston. Billy left last year Kansas middle of the season to go play pro ball overseas.

                        Graham and Newman both said “He quit. When things don’t go his way he runs or gets mad. He’s not a good teammate.”

                        Preston told 92.9 the Game “Who cares what they say, I got a family to support so I left. I love Kansas but my family was struggling and that was my best option.”

                        GM TG: “We plan on bringing all three in and getting the issues out of the way before the season. No more talking to the media into it happen or else guys will be suspended.”

                            Game 1 At Cleveland Cavaliers

                            Cavaliers Fans showed up for this game. Before the game Cleveland had there championship ring presentations but after it turn into the DeAndra Ayton Show. The young high flying Hawks led almost the whole game, running and gunning, making LeBron James look old. Hawks led at one point by 16 but the King would carry his team back into the game and took the led off and on in the fourth quarter. Luka Doncic also step up for this young Hawks team and showed why he was the number one pick with about 2 second left hit the game winning jump shot to make it 108-106! The worst team in the NBA last year Atlanta Hawks upset the Cavaliers!

                            IMG_0696.jpg

                            Dwayne Wade said: “Wow what a opening game. I can’t believe these young guys had the guts to challenge the defending champs like that. Also for DeAndra Ayton he and Luka might of just showed the NBA that the Hawks are for real.”

                            GM TG: “Ayton, Doncic, Young, Bridges are the future of the NBA!”

                              Game 2 Vs Miami Heat

                              Hawks Head Coach Dwayne Wade had slot of emotions playing his former team. But said “We are coming to kill them. I want to beat them by 30.” The Hawks would destroy them not by 30 but the Hawks led the full game. Trae Young started off the game attacking the rim and he never looked back scoring 24 points 6 Assist on 9-10 shooting, 4-5 for 3. Luka Doncic score a quite 18 Points with 6 Assist. The big man DeAndre Ayton has another monster game 28 Pts 19 Rebounds. But the story was the 9th man Malik Newman who scored 23. But after the game not everything was fine with everyone. Hawks win 117-96.

                              Billy Preston told the reporter: “I feel like I could of score 15 points tonight off the bench but some guys (Newman and Graham) just keep missing me wild open. But I guess a win a win.”

                              Dwayne Wade “I’m not going to baby guys, I will send them to the G-League or cut off the team we just won and we are having problems in the locker room???”
