That's pretty impressive. Doesn't it getting a little boring though? Suppose there would be the challenge of trying to get everyone their numbers.

The challenge for me is to try and top my players' numbers every season. So it's trying to do better at destroying other teams. Sometimes it's not even about whether or not I win the game (cause I always do). I just want to make the stats go up as high as possible, to break records, and to get my starters in the all NBA First Team. To be honest, it's a challenge to try and do that. So I enjoy it.

i might even make up a dynasty story about the new york knicks empire destroying all the teams for many years. then i'll probably join another team to try to take them down.

I am not sure if here's the right thread but I have a question, did someone already made a dynasty where after 1 or 2 season, he decided to accept other team's proposition to be their GM and shifted his Dynasty Thread to that team?

Yeah, I remember Marquis did it with his Mavs dynasty, taking a job with the Magic. Don't think he got too far after that though. Not many people have finished seasons, but there may have been a couple others.

Started a Hornets one, 5 games into the 2010-2011 season, current record 3-2.

PG- CP3/D.Gibson
SG- Manu/Sefolosha
SF- Lino Butler (rated 70 something rookie)
PF- Millsap/Nick Collison
C-Varejao/Collison/A.Gray

Manu is averaging like 30 ppg and Paul like 20, and Butler 15, however our frontcourt is pretty weak

You should've kept Okafor, and West is a pretty decent player too.

In case it isn't apparent in my Dynasty thread, things are going pretty well and I'm certainly enjoying it. Still hoping I can get through another season and then play/sim year three before NBA Elite 11 comes out.

Yes, but in my dynasty, they were constantly injured, and when I had them I was on a 12 game losing streak, so I decided to shake things up. After I traded them I was on a 6 game winning streak haha (the first season)

Updated the rosters in Live 08, all big moves there. (Delonte to Boston, Mbenga to Nuggets etc)

Started a dynasty with the Sixers. Traded away Elton Brand, Jason Kapono, Spencer Hawes, Jason Smith and Willie Green and got Tyrus Thomas, DeMarcus Cousins, Kyle Korver and Erick Dampier. (3 separate deals). Signed free agent Sean Williams too.

Current line-up :

C - Cousins/Williams
F - Thomas/Speights
F - Iguodala/Young
G - Turner/Korver
G - Williams/Holiday

I play only the fourth, some games simulated and with some I use the sim scenarios if possible. My usual line-up, when I play is this :

C - Cousins
F - Thomas
F - Young
G - Iguodala
G - Turner

So far 11-5 after 1 month, beat Miami once when I played the fourth, but lost big when I simulated. Hoped Turner would get ROTM (19 ppg), but Cousins got it instead.

Well my Hornets one didnt end well... went to the lottery for 4 straight years, so I started a new team.

Washington Wizards (2010-2011)

PG- John Wall/Kirk Hinrich
SG- Ben Gordon/Kirk Hinrich
SF- Al Farouq Aminu/ Jamario Moon/a rookie
PF- Andray Blatche/Jason Maxielle
C- JaVale McGee/ Kosta Koufous

Finished 5th in the 2010-2011 season, didnt start playoffs yet.

the 2009-2010 season, we got a hot start, stayed above .500 for first two months, but after All-Star weekend, we lost like 15 games in a row...
