NBA 2K15 Minnesota Timberwolves ISH Franchise
When the NBA season ends, I tend to play a lot of NBA 2K franchise mode. Just a way to get my NBA fix I guess. Anyways, I thought it would be cool if I started a franchise and let ISH help decide its fate. To make it interesting, and allow for a lot of roster movement, I've chosen the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is how the thread will work.
Every day I will play/simulate 10 NBA games. I will then post the results, as long as all the important franchise information, including player rotations, players morale, team chemistry, coaching strategies, and of course, player trades and draft picks. I will also include my general direction as a GM, but am willing to take any advice! So without further ado, here are your ISH Minnesota Timberwolves.

SG - K. Martin - 30
SF - Wiggins - 36

PG - Neal - 00 - Give more minutes.
PG - Shved - 00
C - Hamilton - 00
PF - Hummel - 00
PG - L. Brown - 00
Current Plan:
Trade away anyone over age 25 + Ricky Rubio. Try to stack draft picks for the 2015-17 draft, then add Vets after they develop. Team focus on shooting, defense, and athleticism. Build around Wiggins and another high draft pick.
Daily Updates:
Before I play a single game, I'm going to make some significant trades. Rubio and Martin are gone for sure, and I'm looking to get draft picks and/or young talent. I'll post some options I'm exploring, and am also open to ideas!
Rubio and Bennett have been traded. Twolves picked up what could be a top 10 pick in the current draft. Roster updated.
First 10 games of the season are complete. TWolves went 3-7, with our last game being a win over the Knicks! The tank is strong with this team.

Don't be like one of those guys that makes multiple big trades in one season then ends up with a dozen first round picks

Normally I don't, but this team kinda needs it. I'd like to get a top 5 pick in the next two drafts. I won't go 76ers tank mode though.

Also don't does trades that you know would either not happen in real life or would be lopsided in your favor

Develop like Oklahoma City rather than being the generic 2K commentator that tries to make the finals their first two years

Pekovic and Payne for Noel and Covington is tempting. Maybe draft Towns to stick next to Noel.

I'll try. Perhaps ISH can help veto unrealistic trades. For example, that Martin for Mirotic would never go down.

f*ck dat, I used the Kings and traded or released everyone but Cousins...Cousins became great and within 3yrs I won a title with the signing of Durant and a 88 overall rookie PG. Swag.
Edit: The rest of my team consist of Minimum wage washed up players though, still boss.

That's the plan. Gonna build around Wiggins + a high draft pick. Hopefully make the playoffs in 3 years.

Very good NBA starter
Re: NBA 2K15 Minnesota Timberwolves ISH Franchise
why not wait a couple days to see how the draft plays out, so you can have towns?
cool idea

Re: NBA 2K15 Minnesota Timberwolves ISH Franchise
So in the the spirit of making realistic trades, I'm trying to move Rubio + Martin + pick to the Knicks for Calderon + 2015 pick + filler. The idea is to possibly get two top 5 picks in the upcoming draft. Maybe land Towns and a PG.

2K won't update their roster post draft. They want you to buy 2K16. You can download player made draft classes though. The 2015 and 2016 player made draft classes are legit.

Can do that with literally any team except the Nets.
They have nothing of value.

NBA sixth man of the year
Re: NBA 2K15 Minnesota Timberwolves ISH Franchise
What'd be more interesting is if you let ISH run your team or have significant decision. Have us be the ones coming up with cool trade ideas, approving trades, etc. Will take a long ass time though
