Some of NBA 2k9 Questions for you?

[Al Thornton]

Started with an Association file from Operation Sports that had all the rookies created, resigned as Bobcats and took the Clipper job, simmed it for a whole season, ended with the #7 pick, drafted Demar Derozan, and Dejuan Blair, Mardy Collins, Fred Jones, Ricky Davis, Brian Skinner all decided to test free agency. Signed Shaun Livingston in FA for the MLE. Traded Marcus Camby for Tyson Chandler (basically got a younger shotblocker/rebounder)

What team do you play as? Clippers

Have you ever had a perfect season, on any difficulty level? Nope, I'm in my first season and something like 14-7

Do you play the Season, or Association more? Association

I did a fantasy draft and my depth chart looks like:

Jose Calderon | Jared Jordan | Travis Diener
Kevin Martin | Roger Mason | Fred Jones
Predrag Stojakovic | Matt Barnes | Luke Jackson
Tim Duncan | Udonis Haslem | Steve Novak
Mehmet Okur | DeAndre Jordan | David Harrison

Only Fred, Roger, Matt and Haslem get time off the bench. Put Novak in whenever I need/want to hit a three.

Spencer Hawes
Michael Beasley
Kevin Durant
John Salmons
Russell Westbrook

Nets I usually just trade VC and a 1st for K-Mart..

I have never gotten close to a perfect season...I recently played a fantasy draft though and won 50 games with a starting lineup of this:
Brook Lopez
David Lee|Bass
Wilson Chanlder|Battier
Rudy Fernandez
Devin Harris

nets fan 93 how did you get that thunder roster? did you fantasy draft? if you made actual trades can you tell me who you traded to get beasly? thanks

[glidedrxlr22]

Just went online for the first time ever yesterday. How do you activate the Living rosters download? Is it offered on Live?

[tdotraptor]

just thought this thread needs a bump. so nets fan 93, how did u get that thunder roster, especcially beasly?

[NotYetGreat]

I play association mode with the Magic, but I tweak the line-up a bit, like trade JJ Reddick for JR Smith or get a good big man at the 4. Never had a perfect season though.

[dab0yech0]

I won the championship in my first season with the current Clipper roster.

In my 2nd season, I sent Zbo and Baron to Miami for Jermaine Oneal and Mark Blounts expirings and a first, sent Chris Kaman for Antoine Walker's expiring plus a first, then sent Al Thornton and 2 firsts to the Thunder for Blake Griffin and Shaun Livingston. My lineup was then:

Mike Taylor/Shaun Livingston/Damon Stoudamire
Eric Gordon/Fred Jones
Terrence Williams/Steve Novak
Blake Griffin/Jermaine O Neal/Antoine Walker
Marcus Camby/DeAndre Jordan/Mark Blount

Then in the offseason I picked up Gordon and Jordan's options, and let everyone else go, I would've resigned Mike Taylor but he wanted a 40 mil contract. I had a ton of cap space and ended up signing Lebron to the 5 yr max contract, player option for last year, with a no trade clause, signed Shaq to 1 yr 5 mil, drafted Stephen Curry, and then I signed Fred Jones, Marcus Camby, Tim Thomas, and Mike James to 1 yr contracts as well. My team is now:

Shaun Livingston/Stephen Curry/Mike James
Eric Gordon/Fred Jones
Lebron James/Terrence Williams/Tim Thomas
Blake Griffin/Marcus Camby
Shaq/Deandre Jordan

So far I have played 4 games and I am 4-0 with Lebron avg about 26 8 8 and EJ avg 24 ppg Griffin 15 and 11 Livingston 11 and 14 apg

was running w/ the Bulls for a while, but quit them after i couldn't get the proper release on BG and Salmons... go with Nuggets..

PG Billups 17 min/ carter 3 min
SG JR Smith 17 min/dontay jones 3 min
SF Carmelo 17 min/kleiza 3 min
PF kenyon 7 min/andersen 13 min
C nene 17 min/andersen 3 min

give andersen starters minutes, can be a game changer on the blocks...

What's your gamertag?

[baseketball4life]

good games grinder

both went down to final ticks lol, splitting it 1-1. First game I couldn't do anything with any warrior but Monta, had 45 with him, but got beat anyways. Bulls has more weapons 2nd game helped me pull off 1 point win.

[Nets fan 93]
