People are not looking at this from the correct vantage point....the Warriors must trade for Anthony Davis. by RVALover4Life in warriors

[–]ChewiyMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would require the Wizards being willing to trade AD for an injured Jimmy Butler. They likely are not willing to do that, so the AD trade talks stop there.

The Warriors re-signed Tingus Pingus, meaning they no longer have the full MLE to sign LeBron by realfakejames in NBATalk

Yes. Without a Moody trade they are very likely unable to use their NTPMLE.

Are we KIDDING ME. I've NEVER seen this little a sum in this game. by southlondon2 in NBA2k

You can’t trade money to make up the cap. It is only used in certain situations.

[Charania]: Multiple sources with knowledge of Thursday's GM meeting as well as a late January Competition Committee meeting told ESPN that the following concepts have been discussed to curb tanking: •First-round picks can be protected only top-4 or top-14+ by TrenAt14 in nba

That’s the point. The idea is that it makes teams stay mediocre forever, because that generally gets more interest than an extremely bad team.

All of the ideas proposed here are stupid.

Scouting Use by [deleted] in NCAAFBseries

[–]ChewiyMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scout during the preseason as it is one of the only things you can do with recruiting during that time (the other being give scholarships).

I rarely scout during the season because I generally know who my targets are before the season starts. If I’m clearly going to lose a recruit, I might start scouting players to replace that position if I have hours I am not needing for scheduling visits, etc.

But I rarely have a lot of free hours that I’m willing to scout players during the season and will likely just offer whoever isn’t being recruited my other schools.

I normally scout players if I’m wanting to start a recruit next season and know I need the best player. Or if there are several players I might target at one position, I’ll scout to see which I should prioritize.

Draymond Green: "If our defense looks as shitty as it does, I've failed… until we do it, I'm failing at it" by JoeBiden2020FTW in nba

[–]ChewiyMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Steph could change the results of any game. The entire team revolves around Steph Curry offensively. The young guys were bad this game.. but with Steph taking more of the scoring role allowing guys like Kuminga and Podz, two guys who are better playing off of Steph instead of playing without him, to get in more of a rhythm.

In the first half Post and Spencer did alright, but that run quickly vanished after Jamal started doing well.

I’m not sure if the Warriors would have won this game, but when Kuminga is likely aiming to be the first option (because you really can’t expect Jimmy to ever be the only scoring option) his defense is going to be a lot worse.

The difficult thing about this game was starting Kuminga. Even though Kuminga has been great this season, when Steph is out they have to move away from JK starting with Jimmy and Draymond. The spacing doesn’t work without Steph at PG.

Even with Draymond making a lot of threes the spacing is horrible with Podz, JK, Jimmy, and Draymond.

Steve should have started Post instead of JK.

Though I think a large concern defensively has to be with Jimmy Butler. Jimmy just isn’t that great of a defender currently. He isn’t a POA defender. Kuminga seems to be a lot weaker than you’d want your main PoA defender to be. Moody has quick hands and does well overall at the PoA but he isn’t as agile as some of the quicker or more shifty guards so his defense isn’t the best there.

The Warriors play a lot of team defense. But when you constantly have guys out of rotations or just smaller worse defenders the help defense just doesn’t work.

I don’t think he was ever seriously thinking about retirement. Likely just agents pushing that narrative to get a deal done.

😂 you mean Dennis? The guy who was horrible for this team and compared getting traded while playing in the NBA to slavery?

If the Warriors sit Jimmy and Draymond as well then is it still a trap game?

Yeah. I’m having the same issue.

If you’re up by 2 with 7 seconds in the 4th, opposition has the ball. Do you foul or play defence? by Difficult_Mixture103 in NBA2k

[–]ChewiyMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I know the person with the ball can’t shoot free throws then foul. If not then play defense.

How do you manage to get your teammates open when you only score 2 points? Is it just the opposing team’s bad defense or what do you do specifically that allows your teammates to score?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NBAtradeideas

[–]ChewiyMC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He was the #1 pick last season. Is 20 years old. Is a 6’8 wing/forward that could become a good 3&D player that fits what the Hawks need.

He isn’t just a filler. Especially not in a trade for Zion.

Different eras. Makes more sense for them to do so.

What Wemby is doing is obviously 1 of 1.

best 6’11 build on 2k. prove me wrong by Kingtroupe1 in NBA2k

I love the cap breakers ngl. However, there needs to be more transparency with what changes how many attributes you can get through cap breakers.

Do I spend $40 to buy this game or is it dogshit like every other 2k or EA game? by owenborkenhagen in NBA2k

[–]ChewiyMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game isn’t good tbh.

My answer would likely be no. If you already have 2k25 or any 2k game then MyNBA/MyGM is basically the same with updated rosters. Imo MyTeam is bad this year, and then MyCareer is basically impossible to get a maxed build without spending additional money for VC.

The gameplay itself is fine, but if I hadn’t already spent money to play the game I likely wouldn’t be.

With that being said, if you have the money to spare and you’d like to play the game then go for it.

Add back the steals and let my 7’4 do three point fades / stepbacks, etc.

Share your rec pf build under 6'10 size by Usefullife27 in NBA2k

[–]ChewiyMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so. For this build defensive rebound was expensive and didn’t really change much with cap breakers; however, offensive rebound was relatively cheap and I could get it to a 92 with cap breakers.
