Re: How’s your franchise going? NBA 2K24 thread
1-2 in the modern era with the bulls. Lost by 21 to thunder SGA dropped 61 on me. Beat the raptors by 17 . Lost to the pistons after coming back from down 16 but went ice cold in the final two minutes. Offense has been struggling. Patrick Williams has been pretty good but Vuc is struggling finding his shot.Comment

Re: How’s your franchise going? NBA 2K24 thread
I was planning on modern era clippers, but decided to hold off on that and dive in with modern era spurs. I thought it would be a great idea to trade for zion williamson and player lock as him. I think the zion and wemby combo is very interesting. I'll be playing 12 min quarters using real fg% on a slightly adjusted custom all star slider set with all teams coaching sliders help defense set to 100, as well all team rotations adjusted.
trade 1
spurs receive zion williamson
pelicans receive 4x first round picks and + keldon johnson.
trade 2
spurs receive immanuel quickley
knicks receive 1x first round pick + 2x second round picks + cameron payne
First game against the bucks, a tough but expected loss with giannis going off with 55 points and zion with 38 points. wemby struggles 3-15, with brook lopez bothering him inside the paint. vassell struggled in the first half going 1-7 from three, but came on a bit in the second half going 3-4 from three.Comment

Re: How’s your franchise going? NBA 2K24 thread
Kyrie and Luka are too much for the Bulls as they drop their third straight and are now 1-4 to start the season. Kyrie scored 41 points before fouling out late in the 4th Luka added 35. Lavine had 27. DeRozan had 26 and 8 assists. Bulls played their best offensive game putting up a season high 118 but it was not enough.Comment

Lets goo ALLLLL THE WAY BACK.
1983-84, for us fellow old heads.
FEBRUARY 1984
The Chicago Bulls are crap right now. Plain and simple. Reggie Theus has checked out of the city. "Foolish pride, the Chicago Bulls organization has as they have been dealing with me. Benching me is crazy"
There are discussions that the Chicago Bulls are looking into the draft, with Mike Jordan and Akeem Olajuwon available. "Akeem is the guy to look for if you are Chicago. Tank, Tank Tank." said a columnist in the Chicago Tribune
"Mike" or Michael Jordan as some call him, is a great shooter but the Bulls need to go for a Center, or Power Forward. Sam Bowie is another guy that they are looking like they will try to draft.

Re: How’s your franchise going? NBA 2K24 thread
Started my Kobe era Wizards today. I had a blast with 2k23 and almost didn't get 2k24, but in 2k23 I inadvertently cheesed the AI which hurt the challenge and by extension the fun I was having with it, so on to 2k24.
The changes I made:
Traded Stackhouse and Lue for Steve Francis and a fake player
Immediately released the fake player and signed Skip to my Lou.
Lineup:
PG Steve Francis/Rafer Alston
SG Larry Hughes/Juan Dixon/Byron Russell
SF Michael Jordan/Byron Russel/Jared Jeffries
PF Christian Laetner/Kwame Brown/Charles Oakley
C Etan Thomas/Branden Haywood/Jahidi White
In 2k23 I traded for Birdman. Undecided if I'll do that again.
Started 1-2 with losses to the Raptors (Vince dropped 55 on me) and Celtics (Pierce and Walker combined for 60 something points) but a win against the Nets.
Francis isn't as OP as he was last year.
I think it could take almost half the season to settle on a rotation. Haywood is definitely overplaying Thomas so far. I got a lot of mediocre dudes in the frontcourt. I may explore a trade to solidify my backup SG. As much as I want Dixon to work since I'm a Terps alum, I don't think he will. Going to be interesting to see if Hughes or Laetner solidifies themselves as the 3rd scoring option.
I know one thing I'm going to do to keep me engaged is I'm going to create myself. I graduated high school in 2002, so I'm going to run a little alternate history for myself. Figure alternate me will declare for the draft after my junior season. I'll model my player after real life me just upscale my skills obviously and play a what if I had that growth spurt to hit 6ft scenario.Comment

Re: How’s your franchise going? NBA 2K24 thread
Modern day Magic
10 minutes/quarter
all 82 games played
So I decided to already start my first save without waiting for the missing face scans and such.
The decision with the Magic was quickly made: Franz Wagner is climbing the ranks of my favorite player of all-time pretty quickly, Moe is great as well and in general I just like the core of the team. And with them playing such a good second half of the season they are primed to go for a playoff run this year.
When looking at the rotation it was really tough to figure especially the guards out. With Fultz, Black and Suggs you basically have 3 very similiar guards who are more defensive and playmaking guards. Harris is a great shooter. Anthony is a little bit of everything. Adding Ingles in the mix it's hard to find a good rotation where everyone gets enough time.
What I settled on is the following:
PG- Fultz (31 minutes), Black (14)
SG- Harris (21), Anthony (18), Suggs (13)
SF- F Wagner (35), Ingles (14)
PF- Banchero (35), M Wagner (27)
C- Carter (32)
Just took the main positions, but obiviously we are very versatile. Anthony, Suggs and Black are basically always rotating on the guard positions for the bench, Franz plays a few minutes at the 4, Banchero plays some backup 5 as is Moe. We have multiple looks per game that we can offer the opponents.
So far I played 5 games.
W vs Rockets: +2
Franz: 28 points; 12/18 FG
Banchero: 22 points 10 boards
Carter: 16 points 17 boards
The guards played tough so we never really got seperation. The highest lead in the game was 10. We struggled shooting for most of the game, but came to some good shots inside.
W @ Blazers: +2
Franz: 25/6/5&3 steals
Mo: 17 points, 13 boards
Fultz: 15 points, 3 steals
Dame shot 29 times in the game and tried everything to keep it close but this time the Magic played a more balanced game and hit well from the outside. In the end it wasn't as close as it seems because the Blazers had a big run in the 4th with the game already out of control basically.
L @ Lakers: -32
Franz: 28/7/10
Mo: 17/5
Banchero: 12/9 boards
That one was tough. The biggest lead for the Lakers was 42. Lebron and AD were just too much. Defense inside could be a problem when the opponent has more then one player capable of attacking the rim.
L @ Clippers: -20
Carter: 19/ 11 boards
Franz: 18/6/8
Fultz: 9/6 assists
That one was actually closer then it looks like. Only a big run in the 4th made a huge difference in favor of the Clippers. Franz shot very bad in this game and Paolo was never a factor, because Kawhi and PG made things really tough. Defense inside was again a problem against their drives as well.
W @ Jazz: +9
Franz: 29/6/6
Fultz: 13/4/7
Banchero: 12/11/5
Great team win: 6 players scored in double digits, all 5 starters as well. Plus 32 assists on 41 FG. Franz was in total control of the game, even though he struggled shooting the 3. In general a really promising start by the young gun with averages of 25/5/6.
Paolo got hurt in the first game of the season and his limited since, so his production is kinda lacking. The big suprise is Moe, who is a great force off the bench.
We really want to attack the playoffs this season. For that I still have the trade chip named Isaac, combined with one of the guards to get a little more firepower in. And maybe another option for the 4 and 5 positions that adds a little more defense.Comment

I’m going to start with the Raptors on 10 min Quarters with a 58 game schedule. Going to try to land Shai and Dillon Brooks sometime throughout the season so they can play in their country.
