Transactions:

<=====>

After being traded for one another in a trade between Houston and Indiana earlier this season, Andre Miller and T.J. Ford are involved in a trade deal once again. The Trailblazers have sent Ford to Indiana for Miller. You read that correctly. Miller and Ford have both returned to the teams they started the year out with.

<=====>

Steve Blake's tenure in Portland is now over as he was traded to the Pistons in exchange for Charlie Villanueva. The Pistons now have a true point guard on their roster. Coincidence that once Blake is shipped out of town, Andre Miller gets brought back in?

<=====>

The Bulls have traded Joakim Noah to the Hornets in exchange for Julian Wright.

<=====>

The Wizards have traded a disgruntled Javale Mcgee to the Jazz for Kosta Koufos.

<=====>

Anthony Morrow's prayers for more playing time may have been answered. Golden State has traded him to Philadelphia in exchange for Rodney Carney.

- Vinny Del Negro reportedly on the outs in Chicago

Getting up and down the floor. You should see some of that out of them irl as well. Kahn/Rambis have both said they want to put out a new "exciting" brand of basketball in Minny.

Yeah, not quite sure why they passed backwards in the backcourt but big Al made a hell of a play. Got him pumped.

As far as Ellington goes, I sure hope so. lol.

lol @ Andre getting passed around like a cheap whore

He's back in Portland. Hopefully he stays there now with Blake out of town.

Damien Wilkins didnt work out well as a starter for you?

He was alright. Not a huge upgrade, if at all, over Ellington. He doesn't fit into my long term plans so doesn't make sense to start him or give him more minutes than my youth. I'll bring back Jarvis Hayes before I bring back Wilkins. I do like Wilkins though, don't get me wrong. He's not a bad role player to have.

Sessions' stats have gone down alot. Play that nicka more

I don't need him to be a big scorer off the bench. His first role is a distributor. I know he is there though if I need someone to take it hard to the rim and draw a foul.

Man, 2k really needs to work on the trading AI, it's fucking ridiculous.

tbh, it's one of the reasons I'm probably not gonna get this game.

Eh, it could be better but certainly not a game-killer by any means.

Crazy trades, but at the same time at least Portland make sense in shipping Blake.

Good work and good to see the Celtics flying in this one.

Yeah, Celts are having a hell of a season in this one. They probably won't hit 72 though like Sheed said they would. :tongue:

Sorry about no game updates yesterday. I'm hooked on Borderlands. Also have to play Golden Mamba 2k10 league games.

Will try to get a game in tonight but can't make any promises.

Thanks for following guys.

If they passed, I manually put in the proper ratings. If there was no way to fix the ratings, I wouldn't do them. lol..

If they failed the drill, I left them alone.

 

[mfbmike]

Players passing drills were having their ratings drop by 20 or so points instead of rise.

The rating increase is shown immediately after you pass the drill. Just write it down or something and then edit player > fix the fux0red ratings and you should be good.

Or so I would think.

 

[T.Dot]

probably the worst chise I've seen

Player Of The Game:

Jonny Flynn

Quote Of The Game:
"Both teams really ramped it up in the 4th. It was a seesaw battle, back and forth, until that final minute. With the game tied up at 100, Jonny knocked down a big 3 that put us up. On their next possession, Corey got a bigtime block off of Stephen's 3 point attempt and took it back himself for a dunk. Then Jonny got a steal off their following inbound play and took it in for 2. What a finish. We are hitting a pretty favorable patch of games in our schedule here. We have our eyes at getting back to .500" - Al Jefferson

Next Game:

 

[albidnis]

Nice win mike.. I am losing so many games in the 4th after leading man. It is killing me.

 

[Flight24]

nice games from curry and flynn, nice win.

When the time comes, I'm going to create rubio (from a CAP somewhere, I know there is a good one on OS) and bring him into the chise somehow. Likely take a rookie that is going to go undrafted and then edit his ratings and sign him to the 5th overall pick rookie scale. As far as what's going to happen to him, I'm not sure yet. That's a bridge I'll cross when I get there.

 

[mfbmike]

2 years from now, or when the 3rd season begins. I'm signing him to the rookie scale only because there really is no way to gauge how much he is going to be signed for when he enters the league.

 

[LC AAU]

He's hooked on borderlands on 360. Probably not for a while lol.

 

[mfbmike]

when is the next update mike

He's hooked on borderlands on 360. Probably not for a while lol.

:smh:

There will be multiple updates tomorrow. Been a busy week and yeah, I've been really into Borderlands as well. Don't worry.

Yea what i was thinking was just create him in the 2011 draft or w/e. But make his ratings suck balls. Then just sign him to the wolves and edit his ratings.

Yeah, that's what I was planning on doing. And I'm bringing him into this after season 2, to begin season 3 because that's how it's going to happen in real life.

Another thing..

How are you guys riding my ass for not putting out an update lastnight? lol, I've already got 36/37 games played already. God forbid I play another game for a couple nights. :tiptoe:

 

[LC AAU]

MIKE YOU FUCKING TOOL I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE THURSDAY FOR A DAMN UPDATE I'M ABOUT TO FLIP SHIT IF YOU DON'T GET ONE UP IN 3 SECONDS.
