You could assign defensive matchups though I doubt AI is smart enough to still target using picks

At the other end Træ couldnt use his quickness too

yeah I don't think anyone is doing defensive matchups for individual games. Bish or the people running these practice sims dont have time for that

And yes...trae should have exposed that matchup more. But size and strength seems to be more valuable that speed in 2K. I think the SIM is a bit different in that if Luka was on Trae...Trae would light him up on that end too. But there is so much initial contact in 2K that if you don't have strength you simply can't drive past someone.

Looks like Paul George was the one holding the team together

Looking at your lineup, I'd try AD at center and Crowder/Tucker at power forward. That is a big time defensive front line.

Yeah I benched them cause my team was headed to the lottery regardless so might as well try to get a higher pick.

But y’all forgetting I played my starters with point bam after the all star break when I still had a shot to make it in the playoffs. I could’ve easily benched them for a #1 pick all the way but I tried to make it in to the playoffs. Then I got lucky in the lottery and moved up.


Either way without that pick I would still dominate y’all. I drafted/traded for 5 stars and that’s without Murray. So nothing would’ve changed

You can't say all that when you already said this in the thread:

You capping crazy cause you know the convos me and you had when I was benching my players and bringing them back for the all star break. You was on my side but now you flip flopping cause you mad you ain’t got a ring!

You lying to everyone

Me and you were complaining about the SIM being ass since both our teams kept losing so I told you I was gonna tank. And you said you would do the same if you had a pick too. You gave me all the ideas on how to do it

Bringing back my starters was my idea though. I was tired of everyone getting at me and by then I knew point bam was a cheat code. I still had a shot to make the playoffs so I went all in after the all star break. You know that’s exactly what happened. I’m reading all the convos you lying to everyone mr Hoffa jr!

CAP Melo, if you think you could dominate us without tanking for Murray, it's easy.... Give Murray to AFB

He too shook, Murray should have belonged to the teams with no stars in the first place, if he trades him to you he would just be correcting a mistake.

Imagine a team like:

Dunn/
LaVine/Powell
Tatum
Bam /Royce O'Neal
Ayton

Tanking for another star

[Capn'O]

It's not fair to ask a Melo to trade Murray for nothing. The pick he would have gotten would likely have been at least a role player so that should be the deal. I'm thinking Jamychal Green would suffice. Very similar salaries.

Smash butthurt I swept his cheating ass and he in my DM tryna get me to trade half my team to him lmfao

You dont unleash the death lineup in preseason

Smash always looking for others to fight his own battles. You hate to see it

Go look at Bam’s stats at point in season 3. But you won’t cause it doesn’t fit you’re narrative.. again

I’m saying YOU exploited the SIM. Using the most unrealistic player of all time in BAF history to help you win… only to get swept

I’m chilling right now. I was minding my own business but you taking shots at me out of nowhere. So you want smoke then come get it. I’m keeping it real with you how you tried to cheat the SIM and it backfired

You the one that’s shook af. Been tryna get me to break up my core for months

You can't co-sign Buzz calling the west pathetic and say you're chilling.

I'm keeping it real with you when I say none of the OG's respect your squad. You say you would dominate us without cheating for Murray, let's go then. Trade Murray to a young team for nothing, and show us you never needed to cheat to get to where you are now. If not no-one is trying to hear all this talk about how dominant Cleveland is.

I don’t care what you respect. Lol. I got my chip and I’m happy. You’re clearly not so deal with it. Go worry about finding another way to cheat the SIM so I can sweep you again

All I know is that you mad shook tryna get me to break up my team for months that’s enough satisfaction for me.

It is what it is, you said you would dominate us without Murray, but you too shook to try that. Your chip looks funny in the light, that's all I'm going to say

We built the deepest team in BAF history even before trading for Whiteside, this is what GM's were saying:

"GM put in work this off-season, one of the deepest teams in BAF history"

"This team is really deep. Assuming KD doesn't take a hit based on a past injury this team will be a championship contender. Nice to see Lowry and Derozan combo back together with Siakam being one of the most improved players in the game. Add in two elite bench pieces in Powell and TJ Warren and this team could be raising the trophy."

Instead of saying: "You're right I admitted to cheating my way to my first chip in the back and forth with 2010, but now I'll show y'all Murray never mattered"

Instead now you're saying I cheated? Did Spurs cheat with Wiseman? Did Mavs cheat with Jeff Green? Did GSW cheat with LaMarcus? Did Sacramento cheat with Lopez locking down the paint? Did Philly cheat with Collins/Clarke?



Instead of trying to deflect put up or shut up

[Buzzard]

I was waiting on that game Smash. I have to go now but maybe later I can show you what a lowly 4th seed eastern conference team is capable of.

[Fat]

Tbh I would’ve done it if you gave me bones

Wiseman available

2nd time I have seen you post that he is available so I’m obligated to do my due diligence here.

What are the parameters for what you’re seeking in return for him?

Im really only shopping him to feel his value out but He definitely available for Murray.

I’m not sure what I’d want for him but ill entertain deals if they make sense

[Capn'O]

You think you slick

I stand by my analysis

EVERY GM nodded along to the first two sentences.

[Smash3]

Smash butthurt I swept his cheating ass and he in my DM tryna get me to trade half my team to him lmfao

You really on crack, I never said a word until you told on your ass, you literally admitted to cheating

[Smash3]

You're right I'm being unreasonable, Melo at least get a role player for Murray

I can easily post quotes of multiple GMs praising me when I got Murray. Lol. Even you did at one point. Lmfao. Now you switching up.

I mean the fact that you tryna bring up other teams to justify your cheating just shows you guilty

Like I said you in my DM tryna get me to trade half my team to you for months is enough satisfaction. You shook af lmfao. Kiss the ring hahahahaha

[Smash3]

Everytime Melo touches his LOB trophy

[2010]

I know prolly no one would have the heart to do it (due to politics), but I would love to see a GM ranking to gather how GMs evaluate the performance of their peers.

I don’t think jewelry says enough, much the way I don’t like that argument IRL either. Like how the media created the false narrative that players can only be judged by their amount of rings or lack thereof.

That mindset is what created the “team up” mentality amongst players IRL in the first place, that most have come to dislike. Those feelings have now permeated over to places like here, where actual team-building is now clowned as if there is something wrong with a team-oriented approach, and now star-phuccing at all costs is the only model that matters.

Does anyone have the balls to post a 30-GM rank assessment? It would make for interesting discussion between the off-days of the bubble tourney.

One thing is for sure, the league reset will test GMs mettle regardless, cuz most won’t be able to field their current roster without mass turnover, and will be forced to construct almost an entirely new team. GMs who have contending teams now will be tested to show they can do it again with a different recipe.
