The Knicks are horrible in 2K9. LOL, Marbury is buried on the bench. Duhon can't shoot and Jamal is streaky at best. Zack appears to be the only decent player on the team. No shotblocking on this team.
LOL! Zach's my MVP so far... good to see him be a consummate professional & a good teammate... he's playing so unselfishly.

the ratings are a little screwed up on this game... they have Curry, D Lee & Zach w/better defensive awareness ratings than Q Rich & Wilson Chandler... at least that's how the auto update roster ratings look... i guess they fluctuate as the season progresses but they haven't even played a real game yet.

1 - traded Marbury, Jefferies & a future 1st round pick for Bibby, Marvin Williams & Zaza Pachulia 2 - offered Zach & Pachulia to Sactown for Brad Miller, Miki Moore & their 1st round picks in '09 & '10... they refused, but countered by asking for me to throw in my '09 2nd round pick... i happily accepted.
cap room in 2010 for Lebron - check 2nd rounder swapped for 1st rounder in '09 - check add'tl 1st rounder gained in '10 - check
my roster:
PG - Bibby SG - Jamal SF - Chandler PG - Lee C - Miller 6 - Nate 7 - Curry 8 - Duhon 9 - Gallinari 10 - Q Rich 11 - M Will 12 - Moore Res. - Mardy Res. - Malik Res. - Turd
& i didn't even have to use the override feature to get these deals done... if only life were so easy in the real NBA. *sigh*

Curry & Jamal are actually playing well for me... Bibby's been crap tho, but Steph's averaging 3 pts. in ATL & they already put him up on the trading block... LOL!

well I didnt trade Marbury but I traded Randolph and Curry. Right now Speights is avg 10ppts 7 rbs and 2 blocks which is better than what Randolph and Curry have been doing for me. Nesterovic has been pretty solid as well at 7ppts 9 rbs and 1.5 blocks. Mayo and Crawford are unstoppable. Gallo is a decent role player but I am about to trade him bc his D is horrific.

Oh and I was very close to firing D'Antoni mid-season because the team was giving up 150 points countless times and I had enough. Problem was I did not have the money available to sign anyone better. I kept him on and the team picked it up and made the playoffs as a 4 seed before being swept out. I retooled in the summer when Brewer and Miller became free agents. I let them go and signed Amare Stoudamire with the massive amount of cap space I had. I then traded David West for Igoudala and a 1st.
C - Chandler/Pollard PF - Amare/PJ Brown SF - Kleiza/Nocioni SG - Igoudala/Brent Barry PG - Calderon/rookie PG I got from Wizards
This is my team entering my third season. D'Antoni is now on the hot seat.

Your chemistry has to be horrible with all those trades

Chemistry plays a role in winning and losing, not giving up 150 points. But yeah, it's not that great. I tried to be patient with last season's core but getting swept out and then having the chance at Amare(I actually thought LeBron would be a FA but he resigned) made me reconsider.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

after i traded Zach he's averaging 20 & 9 for Sactown... they're in last place... this game is so realistic it's not even funny.

I didn't want to do it but Amare complained about playing time meanwhile the dude always didn't play all his minutes because he kept fouling out. We were doing great but at the risk of him ruining chemistry, I traded him for Al Jefferson(now on elite level) and a 1st.

not bad... mine's at 35% but still in my 1st season... weird tho cuz our record's pretty good & the only unhappy player is Steph (i traded back for him & added another 1st round pick from ATL for Bibby & Marv)
