You know me guys... I haven't been to the forums in a couple of months but I'm always waiting for the new 2K game to come out and start a new association. A couple of weeks ago I wasn't sure: go with the Kobe-less Lakers, try and be relevant until he comes back; or go with the Bulls. Both have good stories to begin with, but what's going down in Windy City is really interesting. All this soap opera about Deng is a good start -- will he stick with the team (even though I did trade him in a previous simulated season)?

But the real story in Chicago is Derrick's return. Every headline right now mentions him, as he's trying to be (once again) THE leader, leaving behind 18 months of being nothing... much like our friend Walter. :cheeky: So, for the first time I will give the players some actual characters and stories that they can be built around, all from a player's point of view... and that is, of course, our man D-Rose. I'd say I have him, Butler and Noah as the only untouchables for other teams. Next season could have a totally changed Bulls squad.

EDIT: Decided to go with my modded 2K13 (Albys' rosters and draft classes, all 30 new courts, daninoz' 800+ jerseys, scoreboards). Other than that, I will try to continue what I did with the Spurs here. Of course I'm hoping to receive any feedback you guys might have. Buckle up!

Don't draft Pinkman, he has low IQ. Go draft Walter White, he's an excellent creator for others.

At first glance he might be a creator for others, but in reality all he does is pad his own stats.

Good puns :lol: It's all about getting D-Rose back to the place he deserves. And going berserk while he's at it (hopefully I'll get him another MVP).

Back to his MVP-winning form is what I meant, obviously.

BB creator Vince Gilligan said the show's title it's a regionalism, it means "to raise hell", so I thought mine for Derrick to raise hell in the league again! No damage in his knees here. :mrgreen:

Exactly. Hopefully we can get that MVP trophy again.

Thanks man! I've got a few ideas here.

Continue with the hype! I just had a couple of tough days. This is kicking off shortly :cheeky:

No idea why you wouldn't love him tbh. Objectively speaking, keeping him or not depends on how much you value his perimeter defense and his ability to rebound the basketball at the small forward position while putting up 15-20 points a game effectively as a second option. Are there cheaper options that offer these skills? Sure, are they as good? Definitely not.

I like the symbols you put in the topic title. I'll have to figure out how to do that some day.

Best of luck with this, dude. Before you do anything, see how the players fit for you. Deng's good, but very overpaid imo.

Great answer. Maybe I'm not used to his shooting. We'll see in February.

Search for ASCII code. :wink:

And yes, no moves until the trade deadline. I'm short at the SG spot, so I'm thinking of bringing Rip back.


Wondering what's the deal with the schedule? Downloaded all scoreboards so I'll be changing them all the time to make this a little more realistic. Don't have any ABC scoreboard, so I went with FOX Sports. Props to exrxixxx. :)

Yeah, the shooting guard spot has been a pain for the Bulls for the past few seasons now. I think there should probably be a few highly rated guards lying around in free agency if your rosters are up to date though.
