Is this a fair trade?

Marbury and Eddie Curry <=> Al Harrington.

Roberson <=> Balkman

Marbury and Eddie Curry <=> Al Harrington.

Fair trade...right! Old, not-so-good and extremely expensive PG (Marbury) and average center (Curry) for one of the best PF/C (Harrington) in the game. That is "fair" just the same as I did with Miami (by Albys roster) when I traded Wade (SG, rating - 99), Quinn (PG, 76), Livingston (PG, 77) & Magloire (C, 75) for Roy (SG, 88), Oden (C, 83, A+ potential), Aldridge (PF, 84) & Fernandez (SG, 83). Because Beasley (PF, 81, A+ potential) is in Miami I traded Aldridge, Fernandez and Banks (PG, 75) to Bulls for Rose (PG, 84, A+ potential) and Thomas (PF, 75) and voila, great team is made! And is that fair?? Well, it`s not fair but it`s so damn funny! Keep it that way, man!

No, this trade was not proposed by the computer. I want to do it myself. I want to play Crawford and Randolph on the roster. I want to get rid of Curry and Marbury and trade for Balkman. I do not want to trade these players during the association as it is very difficult due to the cap space.

During some tests, the Suns once offerec O' Neal for Marbury but it does not happen each time I start a new season.

Man, when I saw your first post I thought you mean Al JEFFERSON from 76-ers. My mistake, sorry.
How come you can trade players from the same team??? Marbury, Curry & Harrington are Knicks players, so you cannot TRADE them between themselves. Giving them other roles is something different.
If you want to play with Crawford (Jamal, Warriors) and Randolph (Zach, Clippers) with Balkman (Renaldo, Nuggets) why don`t you try it in Association? For example, maybe you can trade Marbury and Curry to Warriors for Crawford and some lousy player. But because Warriors already have Monta Ellis it`s almost impossible. Than you may see what position is weak in GSW and than trade Marbury to some other team with decent player to trade for Crawford. Why don`t YOU offer Marbury for O`Neal to Suns...with Curry??
I mean, trading system of Association mode is just like some strategy game itself!! When I started my Newest Association it took me four hours to make this roster for Miami:
PG: D.Rose/J.Bayless
SG: B.Roy/E.Gordon
SF: K.Durant/K.Azubuike/A.Tucker
PF: A.Stoudemire/C.Landry/T.Thomas
C: G.Oden/J.Petro
I also made cap money from -10 mils to +10 mils, even with Stoudemire in the roster. But problem is team chemistry and sometimes they play like they first time took a ball into their hands. But, hey, that`s the fun part of the game...

My roster included the Billups trade but that's it. I have not conducted trades from then on. I love Crawford and do not want to start an association with newly acquired players (the real Knicks). Basically, I want to play with the Knicks from last season. That's why I want to get Balkman back.

Mardy Collins is still on my team as well, along with Lee, Randolph, Richardson, Crawford, Duhon, Robinson, Rose, Jeffries, Roberson, Chandler, James, Marbury and Curry. And Gallinari. It's the default 2k roster with the addition of Roberson.

I want to get rid of Marbury and Curry, keep the rest of the Knicks except for Roberson. I do not want to trade them in-game as it is pretty difficult to achieve a Marbury-less roster and moreover, I do not want non-Knicks on my roster. The only players that I can trade for are current Knicks that are not on my roster yet or former Knicks like Balkman or Randolph Morris. Marbury and Curry could be traded for Al Harrington, Tim Thomas or Balkman (BEFORE I start my association).

Yeah, I know, I was at work so I type that fast without much thinking. And in the Association I play now, Jefferson is in 76ers and Brand is in Wolves, so I mixed it.
