To prevent Chris Paul signing w/ Cavaliers in Association and My Player, I have given him a max extension with the Clippers (5 years, 100.15 million), which he appears extremely likely to sign.

LIST OF PLAYER RATINGS

My Overall Rating - Player (Difference from 2K's overall rating)

Please note that Overall ratings are 2K's formulas and they are not perfect.  The most prominent example is Medium and 3pt shot ratings not counting very much towards PF overall rating even though the league is shifting in this direction due to the effectiveness of stretch four types.  Carmelo Anthony will rate much higher at SF even though he has proven to be MVP caliber at PF.  Similarly, Dirk Nowitzki carried a team to a championship but his Overall rating won't differ much from lesser traditional PFs like David West or a heavily struggling Pau Gasol.  Overall rating does not directly translate to on-court effectiveness.

TEAM RATINGS

Sorted by Overall Rating (Def/Off in parenthasize).  Injured players also listed. Please note that I do not use hard-coded "Injuries" in my roster like 2K Sports and that you will be able to re-add these players to their rotations at any time by simply giving them minutes.

Coach ratings affect team overall rating, and they are not editable, so if you think a team should be higher or lower that is the reason why.  Player ratings and rotations still play a big role here, and injured players can decimate a team's rating if the replacement isn't up to snuff.

The reason all these players go un-signed are 2K's generated draft classes are ATROCIOUS with many players rated in the 70s (which leads to teams not needing to sign players).  In order to get realistic results you NEED to download a draft class with lower overall ratings than 2K's.  I will make a draft class file eventually, but not for some time.  I also do not know which currently available files to recommend.  Test in advance!

SOURCES/CREDITS
Basketball-Reference - The most accessible source of "standard" Advanced Statistics, a staple site for any true basketball fan.  2K uses all of the stats found here in their rating and tendency formulas.  I was also once featured in the blog section of the site :)

Hoopdata - Most roster editors use this site for shooting ratings, but Basketball-Reference also has that data. What Hoopdata does give me is the ability to view and sort that data by team and per minute, which makes editing tendencies far less time consuming.

82games - This site used to be a staple of every rating change I made back in my early days of roster editing.  The site was a true pioneer in application of real basketball to statistics, and they were allegedly partnered with 2K Sports during NBA 2K10 (to combat Live's alliance with Synergy Sports.

Synergy Sports - Holy cow what would I do without this site?  Video of any play from any game over the last 4 years, incredulously comprehensive statistics, play type breakdowns that 2K Sports uses for their Freelance tendencies, play types, and every other nitpicky tendency you could possibly imagine.  As such, a subscription is mandatory for any would-be roster editor vying for the Iron Throne of Rosteros.

Draft Express - The premier basketball scouting site, period.  They are rarely wrong about draft picks, and their list of measurements from the pre-draft combine is used by 2K Sports in their athleticism ratings (Strength, Vertical, Speed, Quickness).

ShamSports - Mark Deeks is brilliant, insightful, and bloody funny.  His blog hosts the most accurate and comprehensive contract data on the net.  Please note that while his blog is currently down due to a server issue (not his fault), you can follow him on Twitter @MarkDeeksNBA

2K Sports - I mean, they do make the damn game.

GameFAQs - The story of how I became a roster editor is this: I was posting on the NBA 2K3 forums, engaged in various basketball discussions.  I start making player edits, people like them, and the suggestion comes that I made a guide listing all my rating changes so they can make them too.  I start making guides, people start using them.

My changes get so vast and detailed that people start sending me their memory cards so I can simply add my file to it.  As I was the only person doing this, my rosters/ratings were the most well-known on the net from 2003-2008, and I would like to think I inspired a number of the modern roster community, who are in much greater number than when I first started this endeavor.

With the addition of 2K Share in NBA 2K9, I no longer needed to make guides or transfer files via memory card + postal service, as they could be uploaded and downloaded from 2K's server at the click of a button.  Becoming a blogger and tweeter was a natural progression.
