On 2k11 I pulled off this amazing 4-way trade (well it was actually 2 3-way trades because 3 is the max amount of teams you can trade with at one time)

Here's how it all went down:

Wolves get:
John Wall
Kevin Seraphin
N'diaye
James Posey
Antoine Wright
2011 Wizards 1st round pick
2011 & 2012 Pacers 2nd round picks

Wizards get:
Jonny Flynn
Kevin Love
Wes Johnson
Corey Brewer
Sundiata Gaines
Samuel Dalembert
2011 Wolves 1st round pick
2011 Kings 2nd round pick

Kings get:
Kirk Hinrich
Josh Howard
Kosta Koufos

Pacers get:
Andray Blatche


I then got the general idea for this trade from the Spurs game thread:

Wolves get:
Greg Oden
Wes Mathews
Sean Marks
2012 Blazers 1st round pick

Blazers get:
Luke Ridnour
Lazar Hayward
Wayne Ellington
2012 Wolves 1st round pick


leaving my team at this right now:

PG: Wall, Bassy
SG: Mathews, Wright
SF: Webster, Posey
PF: Beasley, Posey
C: Oden, Darko, Pekovic, Marks

I sent Seraphin (has a 53 rating but decent potential and only 20 yrs old) and N'diaye to the D-league.

Next I'm going to try and trade Pekovic/Wright/Marks for whatever I can get, probably a wing to backup Mathews/Webster or a backup PF.

Yea my team rocks. Wall & Beastley FTW

Wow. Those trades are insane. Can you imagine if something like that happened in real life? I think Adrian Woj's head would explode.

Here is how my team ended up for now:

PG: Wall, Bassy, Mike James
SG: Michael Redd, Bill Walker
SF: Webster, Michael Finley
PF: Beasley, Posey, Seraphin
C: Oden, Darko, Theo Ratliff

I played the first game of the season against the Kings. I was up by 5 w/ 40 seconds left. The Kings stole the inbounds pass and scored. Next time down I missed the shot so the Kings get the ball back down 3 and Evans drains a 3 with 1.8 seconds left. So i call a timeout and sub in my 3 point lineup which just so happens to have Mike James in it even though he'll basically never play except for this exact situation because he's a better shooter than Wall or Bassy. Anyways I got the ball to James and he drained a 3 at the buzzer to send it to OT and I ended up winning. Mike James FTW!!!

I have good feelings about this season. It was a moment like when Favre threw that TD to greg lewis against the 49ers.

One game played and Greg Oden isn't hurt yet.
He has a 25 durability rating which is the lowest possible rating you can have. Even TMac has like a 40 durability rating so that should tell you just how fragile Oden is.

Michael Redd is still alive on that? What is his durability?

Good luck with Oden. Is he a stud on there? Can you boost their durability during the season by doing drills or training or whatever?

Yea you can develop players but only certain stats like shooting, defense, etc can be worked on. I don't think durability ever changes.

Oden is pretty good. He's a 75 rating. Darko is a 67 now after they boosted his rating. Oden really doesn't score that much but he gets a shit ton of blocks I already had 7 in one game w/ him. He's averaging like 9 rebounds a game which is pretty good considering he averages like 28 mpg while Darko plays 20 mpg.

If they stay healthy, Oden and Darko is a pretty sweet center combination. I'd take that in real life.
