Help with my Raps team

It's already 3-1 but there are players I really want:

Kenyon Martin
Carmelo Anthony
Tayshaun Prince
Ben Wallace
Andre Iguodala
Allen Iverson
Steve Francis
Shareef Abdur Rahim
Tracy McGrady
Josh Smith
J.R. Smith
Ben Gordon
Steve Nash
Quentin Richardson


So, what trades should I make? I have not changed the Raptors team so it's:

Rafael Araujo
Chris Bosh (I don't wanna trade him)
Jalen Rose
Morris Peterson
Rafer Alston
Donyell Marshall
Eric Williams
Aaron Williams
Alvin Williams
Milt Palacio

SO with these players, who should I trade?

rose

for q rich

I don't know if salaries will match

Best way to trade two 70 for one 85 player is by looking at the green bar. If you can get two 70-72 with high green bars for one 85, and make the salary match, then the deal will most likely be accepted.

Kenyon Martin
Tayshaun Prince
Andre Iguodala
Shareef Abdur Rahim
Josh Smith
J.R. Smith
Ben Gordon
Quentin Richardson

I think those are the most achieveable ones considering what you're willing to give up. I think Donyell Marshall and Rafer Alston are your best bets, try and package them for one of the players you want and someone average with a huge contract and see what happens.

I've traded Jalen Rose and 2 other Guys for T-Mac .... try that (you can do it with Iverson and Francis too). Melo is extremely hard to get

It's sort of cheesy but you can get almost anyone in the game by

1. dumping all your high contracts into Charlotte/Atlanta/New Orleans for decent young players (the Josh's, Gerald Wallace, Meka, etc.) who make very little money.

2. Use your now humongous cap to sign the better free agents, preferably Centers and PFs (convert the PFs to Centers).

3. You've now got a stable of young, talented, cheap players and Centers, the best trade bait possible.

This isn't realistic, but it works for Live.

I see... Well... I could trade Rose, Murray and someone else (maybe a 1st rounder) for T-Mac or Iverson. I want Iverson but i don't need him that bad now.

I got Dermarr Johnson for Araujo

good for you demarr is a good player especially for your team

Yup he registered 31 points in his first game!

Did anyone try to get Kenyon?

Who should i trade Jalen Rose for?

I agree with the demmar johnson comment. i signed him as a freeagent after my first game in my dynasty. i had vince carter starting at sg but demmar was much more effective off the bench so i traded carter for antoine walker, just to dump walkers contract at the end of the year, johnson ended up winning MVP and we went to the finals and won.

I think Rose should be your bet,then package other guys for Ben or T-mac,just keep an eye on salaries and interests

I need a C/PF/SF. With Bosh out, I need someone who can step their game up.

if u need a center i would try to get marcus camby. hes an amazing rebounder and blocker and is able to score from low post (at least some nice dunks with long range). His contract is not that big u might get him for 2 medium players like mo peterson.

get camby back to toronto !!!!

Forget iguodala in live2005 - cant dribble, steal or shoot.

OK, I think this could work and be semi-realistic.....

Bosh -can- play center, so if you wanna run a small team id do this...

Make sure Rose is edited to be a SG with SF as seconary

Trade Rose to Denver for Kenyon Martin, you might need to add a bench player from either team to make it work.....

All the other players on your wishlist aren't gonna be traded so the following trades are pretty unrealistic but should work....

Make sure Marshall is set to SF with PF as secondary.....

Trade
D Marshall
1 of the 3 Williams'

for

B Gordon
Curry or Chandler

Then to make ur team super.....

M Peterson (SG)
1 of the Williams'

for

JR Smith (change him to SF after trade)
D Davis (not sure if you'd have him on ur Hornets roster, I kept him there after the Baron trade)

So you'd be running:

Center: Bosh or Curry/Chandler
Power: Martin
Small: JR Smith
Shooting: Gordon
Point: Alston

While you probably lose out a bit in current ratings, you'll be tough to stop in 2 seasons time.


Hope that helped
