Acquiring Draft Picks

Mon Jun 26, 2006 8:32 am

In dynasty mode... when is it the best time to acquire draft picks? I always make deals and most of the teams tells me that they aren't interested in trading picks..so i wanted to know is when should i offer them

thanks

sometimes it is in January or other times it is just before the deadline of trades in february.

I think the 1st overall draft pick can only be acquired if u send ur best player!

No...

Once Atlanta Hawks offered me 1st overall pick for Devean George(2005 live)

Haha well the atlanta hawks are mentally retarded.

well they do have the most salary cap when u start the game so it makes sense if u think bout it...lol

im doin a dynasty and whenever i go to trade anytime in the season my draft picks hav no interest but all the other teams hav full interest. Shouldn't teams on the bottom attract more interest than teams on the top. does this happen to any1 else

Its Really Hard if the Draft Depth is Very Strong....
Its Easy when the Draft Depth is weak

release allan houston and hope someone signs him.

Wed Jul 05, 2006 4:36 am

Ahh that makes sense perfect sense but then how is it that no1 has interested during a weak draft in my players but alot of interesting in a strong draft? shouldn't it be the other way around?

The easiest way is to use DBf editor to edit up the ratings of a player in position you want to trade, then edit down the team you want the pick froms player (ie have a great center and their's becomes crap) they'll be more than happy to trade to get him. Once it's done re edit the changes and laugh at the other teams expense. It takes time but becomes heaps of fun when you have a ton of first round draft picks by sign free agents and then trading them for picks.

I once traded Webber to Toronto - for - 1st rnd and M.Bonner to clear cap space in December. Toronto went on to kick ass!

But good scouting, a high lottery pick for myself and large cap room meant 3 awesome picks and Andre Iguodala traded for Dwight Howard to fill the PF spot :D
