2K9 Swingers :: Signings.

digging this man, Liberty City sounds like a great place to have a NBA franchise

Very creative. Didn't see this coming at all.

Okay. Now this idea is so nice. I have to follow Presentation A+ just like it used to be.

Clutch - Thanks man. I'm also curious to see how your Suns will turn out!

Jing - That's the idea, bro! It's Little Jacob, by the way

Valor - Thanks man... hope this is the association that will last for at least a season. I'm excited about this one.

Lamrock - Thanks You didn't have much trust in my last stories but I think I can finish this one, if no corruption happens in the middle. If the association gets to be popular, will do 2 seasons and then switch to 2k10.

hova- - Thanks man I will post another update today with the name and colors of the franchise... I didn't feel very creative about it, it's one that it's already in a GTA game. I'm leaving the scavenger hunt for you guys.

You've combined my two favorite video games - GTA and NBA

Hmmm, I love Liberty City but Swingers gave me sexual connotations at first sight lol

Hmmm, I love Liberty City but Swingers gave me sexual connotations at first sight lol

That's what happens in almost GTA, right? The thing is, in GTA IV the Swingers are a baseball team, so in GTA it says "Swing", "getting to 3rd base", and more sexual connotations... I didn't feel like making a whole new team, just took the Swingers and replaced the baseball with a basketball (thanks to R4zoR)

Liberty City Swingers, great name
the first two logos are nice, not liking that third one though, kinda weird...still, any logo beats OKC's logo

Nice logos and story .. keep it up
I hope Niko brings some serbian players in

lol should've done Gotham City Bats/Batmans

Wow, this is quite a drastic turn from the typical dynasties that you make. Someone's been playing a little too much GTA 4....

In fact, I finished it and my hard disk got broken when I was with the Heat association, so I started a new save.

Unique idea bro.. Will be following this and I hope that this one lasts longer than your previous attempts, hopefully no more hard disk errors..

Sorry guys that is taking so long... I already have the J's done and the court for tomorrow... also, I'm moving to a bigger house, you know, all of my stuff going to boxes, a total mess But will start it in the next few days.

Sounds good. I just started playing GTA IV again, hoping to complete the story for a second time.

hahahah the Swingers... You Should trade for Tony Parker and have Eva Longoria as cheerleader and pornstar

I wouldn't trade for Parker, at least not for now. First there's the expansion draft (I released all Grizzlies players to the free agent pool) and then trade for some rookies/sophs to make this team very young... maybe two or three 6+ years of experience players.

I like the idea. Very original. I don't like the third logo though. Hope you can get some young talented guys in the draft. I'll be following

Yeah, will later change the 3rd logo. I'm starting to dislike it So, good news, I have the jerseys and court, thanks to meimao who made them for me. As I don't have connection in my house yet, I will tomorrow post the first update with the expansion draft. Wish me luck!

Okay, good luck!

Good luck with this one Thierry! Very interesting decision with the team, hope this won't corrupt again(take backups)!


p.s. Roman Bellic > Mark Cuban

Thanks Martti and Spaky. Didn't see you Spaky in any of my dynasties/associations, nice to have a new follower

Expansion draft results tomorrow. And yes, I picked Iverson and signed a big name free agent.

Can't wait for the results!

Did you get Odom?
