    Allen Crabbe kinda sucks in the game. CJ and Dame are both lights out though. I like using Meyers for those mid range jumpers.

    Crabbe got his contract after the game came out. He will be lights out next year. ;)

    Yes he does, but she sprung a leak and he needs to find something else to do until he can get her patched.

    Really? I find Crabbe great to play with, his open shot 3pt is very high and I am putting 15-20 ppg easily in MyLeague. Harkless is also quite fun.

    I play this game A LOT. Put well over 200 hours into 2k16 and will do even more in 17. Evan Turner is a great addition to Portland lineup, I cannot decide who to trade for - Noel or Vucevic. I kind of like defensive presence of Noel and find him fun to play with as he is fast and fits in well in the team but Vucevic is a complete player offensively. Think I'm going to go for Plumlee + pick for Noel and then Leonard, Vonleh + pick/picks for some cool small forward. Completely fine with Noel/Ezeli at C, Aminu/Davis at PF and Lillard/McCollum/Crabbe backcourt rotation but would love to have another option at SF so that Moe will share time between 3 and 4 while ET will be able to play 12 mins at PG. Rudy Gay seems obvious target.

    God I love this game.

    Crabbe, Harkless, and Meyers are all underrated in the game

    Id go for Tyreke Evans. He's Turner with a 3pt shot. Would always have ball handling at the 3.

    I'd trade Ezeli and a pick for him though. Meyers fits with Davis well

    Look at the bench:

    Lillard / Turner
    CJ / Crabbe
    Harkless / Evans
    Aminu / Davis
    Noel / Leonard

    Kingspeed just played a game as the Blazers vs the Warriors and won by 50 points, guaranteeing we win the championship this year.

    Crabbe is great when I play. I beat the Warriors in 6 games and I only barely lost in the two losses.

    I got Meyers to hop in my taxi and go for a ride. Then we broke down in an alley and he tried doing things to me. Wait, what game are we talking about?

    I had one of those new fangled Prius taxis, not much room. Otherwise it would have been bliss.

    That's actually a fantastic idea. I like Ezeli a lot though, then again Meyers shooting is fun too. I know Pelicans would do the trade for Vonleh, Connaughton and a pick but the cap would not allow it I think. Then again I can just turn off financial trade rules for this trade, it's just a game anyway. Ezeli would still be getting a few minutes per game and I just like having him around so I know that I can put Davis and Ezeli on and close up the shop.

    Evans is fantastic, legitimate third scoring option.

    PG Lillard 34 / Turner 14
    SG McCollum 32 / Crabbe 16
    SF Evans 24 / Turner 8 / Harkless 12 / Crabbe 4
    PF Aminu 26 / Davis 14 / Harkless 6
    C Noel 24 / Leonard 14 / Ezeli 10

    The rotation there is absolutely crazy. Nobody will ever go below 68-70 in stamina and there's many scorers.

    Is there a way to set a position you want to play certain players in though? I've been playing this game for 3 years and still haven't figured this out. I want automatic changes but I want Leonard to be thrown at C and Davis at PF, the game is pretty much always doing this the other way round.

    Or just skip Noel and get Evans for Plumlee. It still does not work financially though and Noel is ace. Also considering trading for Okafor, in the game it won't work as he's pretty much untradeable for 76ers but it's sort of realistic that Sixers would currently go for a deal at a reasonable price, so I'd just do trade override. The offensive force would be immense with Okafor on court, defensively it'd hurt but I still have Ezeli, Aminu and Davis for that purpose.

    I think it's because Leonard is listed as a PF and Davis is a C. I just switch the positions on the roster.

    Must be. Leonard at C is better, he doesn't have great defensive stats but he is a good rebounder and is also basically a massive brick so players often bounce against him. Terrfic at winning and converting free throws too, and obviously good shooter also.

    Having Okafor would be fun actually. Any defence goes out the window, but I'd be posting 120 ppg. Then again I prefer to get my points from backcourt.
