Pls help me with my roster

Mon Aug 18, 2008 2:46 pm

It's December 2007 in my Cleveland Cavaliers dynasty and I have not lost a single game (although the Nets were close to beating me). I'm using the aug1 roster patch in the rosters section. I've done some trades and here's my lineup:

C: Ben Wallace
PF: Chris Bosh
SF: Le Bron James
SG: Ben Gordon
PG: Gilbert Arenas
6 Dwight Howard

and the rest are players with <75 ratings.
My strategy is simple: L. James is my main scorer (he averages 52ppg in a 3min/quarter), he just penetrates and dunks (coz his outside shooting is terrible). When he's triple-teamed, he passes it to either Gordon or Arenas for a 3pt shot. Bosh and Wallace (and Howard) are there for blocks and rebounds (esp. offensive). However, there are problems.
First, Arenas and Gordon are not always making their outside shots (during the Nets game, they were so cold). Then, Wallace is getting old. And I need useful back ups.

Here are my questions:


1. How could I get Kobe and CP3? I intend to make Kobe my starting SG, CP3 as backup PG. My highest rated player aside from the 6 above is only 75 (a PF), then a bunch of guards 73s and 68.


2. If there's no way I could get Kobe (aside from DBF editing), could you suggest a better, young 3-pt shooter (preferably SG) aside from Gordon?


3. I need a reliable SF backup in case James gets injured. Durant is an option but Oklahoma already has 15 players. But if I get Kobe, a defense-oriented SF w/ an outside touch would be good alternative.


4. I need rebounding and blocking backup for my big men. Could you suggest any young player?


5. New York and Utah are the weakest teams in this season,and I want to get their 1st round draft picks. I tried trading a 73 rated player but they didn't accept it. How could I make them agree to trade their draft picks?

I really need help.. Thanks Guys...[/b]

Unrealistic Dynasty... :lol:

If you want Kobe try trading Gordon and 2 of your bench players.
Paul you might need to use some picks and some bench players.

Aww.. Just found out that LA Lakers has only 1 available slot... And his salary is too big (19M), Gordon's salary is about 3M only and Mo Williams has the largest salary in my reserves (8M). I tried both but the Lakers won't agree. Hmm.
And should I get Kobe when I already have LBJ? Is there any other SG who's young and can shoot the 3pt shot well, can penetrate and can defend well aside from Kobe?

Since I'm a little impatient, I just did a DBF editing (i edited my reserves' and free agents' stats then trained them w/ my assistant) to prevent crashing. So now here's my lineup as of feb:
C: B. Wallace
PF: C. Bosh
SF: L. James
SG: K. Bryant
PG: G. Arenas
6 D. Howard
7 C. Paul
8 T. Chandler
9 M. Beasley
10 B. Gordon
plus 2 weak reserves (72 and 59), top draft pick and the 20th draft pick.

With this team, I've been able to crush teams though my problem is 3pt shooting. Gordon is there since he's a cheap,young, highly-rated 3pt shooter (higher than Redd and 2-3 pts lower than Peja and Allen) w/ good defense, but he's missing more than hitting shots. Should I get Wade instead? My prob is that my salary is 49M Above the cap. Here's my questions:
1. Memphis won't let me get their draft pick(they're 2nd worst). And they're 533k below the cap. What should i do to get it?
2. Should I get Wade when I have Kobe?

Your just fooling yourself..

Ya it was boring I'm 82-0 for 2 consecutive seasons.. Wel,my goal is to make most of my players 99 in overall rating except Wallace (coz he's bound to retire after 1-2 seasons I think). But I'm trying to add some challenge,he3..
