NBA 2K12

[eazy-e jianlian]

Finally started my Nets franchise, roster is still pretty much the default one, only real transaction I have made is to ink Deron to an extension... I'm holding off on inking Brook to see whether or not Dwight will sign an extension with the Magic... :-/

still haven't purchased the game. can't really get into the mode of basketball with this bullchit lockout hovering.

Generally when I make trades I try to make them so they're not too one-sided / I take into account the other team's direction (rebuilding, contending, etc.) since the trade logic in the game sucks...

So here are the two trades I made clear cap (crap?):

Nets Outgoing: Travis Outlaw (66), Jordan Farmar (63), Ben Uzoh (57)
Kings Outgoing: John Salmons (72), Hassan Whiteside (49)
Warriors Outgoing: Louis Amundson (61), 2nd Round Pick (2012)

Nets Incoming: John Salmons (72)
Kings Incoming: Travis Outlaw (66), Ben Uzoh (57), 2nd Round Pick (2012)
Warriors Incoming: Jordan Farmar (63), Hassan Whiteside (49)

- Nets: Clear cap by moving Farmar (player option for next year, likely to pick up). Get rid of TROUT.

- Kings: Salmons wanted a trade, they actually pay less money to Outlaw + Uzoh than they do to Salmons + Whiteside (in typical 2k fashion Whiteside's contract was for the incorrect amount, the Kings weren't playing Whiteside either which makes sense because he sucks - but don't tell Queens fans I said that)

- Warriors: Weren't using Amundson, their backup guards were Acie Law and Charlie Bell, so yeah...

Nets Outgoing: Sasha Vujacic (67), Johan Petro (52), Mario West (49)
Raptors Outgoing: Sonny Weems (67), Reggie Evans (60)

Nets Incoming: Sonny Weems (67), Reggie Evans (60)
Raptors Incoming: Sasha Vujacic (67), Johan Petro (52), Mario West (49

- Nets: Finished getting rid of crappy contracts and opened up enough cap room so Lopez can be extended and 1 max FA can still be added...
- Raptors: Raptors had 1 million SF but no real backup SG as they were starting Barbosa at the 2 and Derozan at the 3. Petro is also an upgrade to their backup center Alabi (43) or some **** like that, while Reggie Evans was relegated to being a bench warmer and wasn't getting any playing time...

Nets Roster:

Deron Williams / Sundiata Gaines / Some D-League Scrub
John Salmons / Anthony Morrow /
Damion James / Sonny Weems / STEPHEN GRAHAM
Kris Humphries / Brandan Wright / Reggie Evans
Brook Lopez / Louis Amundson / Dan Gadzuric

Current record is 24-21 I believe...

2k12 sounds good I might wait a few months for the price to go down.
Fight Night Champion is the move.

just bought 2k11 instead of 12 because the rosters are the same anyway (other than the deadline deals)

I was about ready to chuck the controller at the wall today.

I was playing 12 minute quarters Wizards vs. Nets (I was the Wizards), after being up 11 in the first half I was down 10 with 2 minutes to go in the fourth.

Andray Blatche was ridiculously on fire this game (he ended the game with 42 points on over 50% shooting), so eventually thanks to Blatche and two timely threes by Ra$hard Lewis I found myself with the ball and down a mere 3 points with 6-7 seconds left, I inbound the ball give it to Rashard and let it rip, MONEY IN THE BANK.

Except for the fact that his toe was barely on the line so I only got two points...

At this point I'm thinking "FML" as I foul Vujabitch and he hits both free throws so I'm down 3 again. With only 2.3 seconds left and no timeouts left I roll the ball inbounds, have Wall run onto it and pull up for a deep three this time it's REAL $$$ IN DA BANK as this three is a three and the game is sent to overtime...

The Nets then proceeded to score the first 15 points of overtime and I lost 117-130. To add insult to injury 10 of those first 15 points came from Brandan **** Wright. Brandan **** WRIGHT. BRANDAN **** WRIGHT. HOW THE ****. !@#$

Complete bull... He's Brandan Wright man. Brandan **** Wright...
