Real 2K Insider celebrates the first major trade of the NBA season with a roster update only hours after it went through.
In case you've been living under a rock, Allen Iverson was traded to Detroit for Chauncey Billups, Antonio McDyess, and Cheikh Samb. Juwan Howard was waived to make room for McDyess.
Later on tonight I'll post a breakdown of the trade for both teams, as well as the Biggest Movers in 2.1.
PLEASE NOTE: I am leaving Antonio McDyess on Detroit and Juwan Howard on Denver for the following reason.
McDyess is going to be bought out by Denver and he will likely re-sign with Detroit when that happens. I think by league rules he might have to wait 30 days to re-sign with Detroit but odds are he is going back. Denver waived Howard to make room for McDyess and they are expected to re-sign Howard once his roster spot is free again.
I just know I am going to have some crackpot download the roster, visit the blog, not read this post, and just go straight to telling me what an idiot I am for getting the trade details "wrong".
Nuh-UH! You're getting these details ALL wrong!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I jest', but I would like to know your stance on this; being a roster 'guru' and all. How do you think this'll affect each team?
Sincerely,
The Crackpot. . .
Great job, you're on top of this. I checked online, guess you haven't put it up yet. When will it be available?

ReplyDeleteAye Shidi , I don't know if you need anymore sites for information but I've got one. I'm going to use this to re-create the 1996-1997 playoffs(doing all the teams would just be ridiculous) this site is.....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.eskimo.com/~pbender/ hopes it's informational for you like it is for me peace yo.
hey rashidi, next time you update the rosters i have a few suggestions: 1. Thaddeus Young from the sixers is on fire from 3 point range, if you can up his 3 point rating that would be greatly appreciated. 2. Lebron James is way too good from beyond the arc, could you lower his 3 point rating?
ReplyDeletejust wondering why u put stackhouse starting sg when its wright whos starting at sg
ReplyDeleteRashidi, great work as usual. What sliders do you recommend using with your file?
ReplyDeletedude rashidi you know ais new number
ReplyDeleteRashidi,
ReplyDeleteDid you create Rob Kurz for Golden State??.... He was signed today--was the last cut for them. G.S. said they put Ellis on the suspended list and signed Kurz.

McDyess is staying with the Nuggets, you shouldve just done the whole trade.

TJ,
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to know Young is part of my Biggest Movers and I specifically covered his 3pt shooting.
Anonymous#1,
Stackhouse got the start at SG in the last game and Wright didn't get off the bench. I speculated in the last applicable NBA Recap that Gerald Green may have taken Wright's rotation spot.
Anonymous#2,
I recommend whatever sliders you prefer. Maybe you want your players to dunk more, or maybe you want your players to dunk less (slider issues) but I think we can both agree that LeBron James should have a higher dunk rating than say, Tayshaun Prince. That's the main difference between ratings and sliders - sliders are personal preference and ultimately someone's opinion of how the game should play, ratings (at least ones that attempt realism) have more of a factual foundation which is what makes them compatible with any slider set.
loonyadam,
Iverson's # has not yet been decided. Stuckey has #3 and it's his # to give up. Iverson has only worn #3 so it remains to be seen what he'd take (or what Stuckey takes) until likely tomorrow.
Phil,
Kurz is in the FAs list, I didn't add him to GS since you can only have 15 players.
Michael,
McDyess has also indicated he'd rather retire than report, so Chapman is just posturing. It's worth noting that he has to act like he wants McDyess in order for Detroit to re-sign him after the buyout - if you remember last year, Dallas tried the same thing with Stackhouse in the Kidd trade but then he opened his mouth and they had to take him out because Stern was going to prevent him from re-signing.
True, guess we'll wait and see. Still, FA would've been most up to date since he wouldn't be back for a month. You're doing updates often enough to have that.
ReplyDeleteHi Rashidi, any chance of an ETA of your roster on PS3?
ReplyDeleteIf you are not going to PS3, can you let us know which PS3 rosters you would recommend?
Cheers.
Well, thing is in the FAs any team could sign him.
ReplyDeleteBetter to just keep him inactive on DET until more news arrives. I can always just submit another update if necessary.
No ETA on the PS3 and when I do get it, it's likely take me a week to make all the changes to the PS3 file. I'm thinking that I will probably wait for the insider to make a substantial update to the 2k rosters, like for instance he's rumored to finally be adding some players in his next update.
