"We Will" - Heart & Hustle 2.0 | Draft Lottery

[SuperHueyNewton]

Oh phoey. Where did the 17th pick come from?

[Mark.]

I will have a look tonight. I don't think too many picks were traded during the season so it might be one I made manually to reflect a real life transaction (or one I stuffed up Haha!)

[Phil89]

Interesting idea about trading your high pick for a couple of lower picks. I'm actually considering something similar on my game, depending on what pick I end up getting.

[Mark.]

Phil89, Yeah I think draft picks are a very useful tool, especially if you think outside the box a little you can obtain some interesting assets. I am actually nervous to advance the offseason past the draft, really undecided on what to do.

Had a busy weekend, going to Harlem Globetrotters tonight, but should be able to work on my mass update and potentially get is posted, fingers crossed!

[Mark.]

[Durant35]

You going to move the veterans?

[Mark.]

Durant35, I guess that is the aim, well at least a few anyway. IMO it is always important to have a few around, at least until the youth effectively can be considered veterans. JJ will deffo stay and until a good PG is found so will Meer, but Big Baby and Harrington are deffo being shopped, and it would take a miracle for Hedo to be in Orlando blue next season, more on that in the offseason update.

Edit: And that Proof Reading once again is rubbish. Oh well. Just need to get through the offseason. Funny when you consider I spend all day emailing clients, then I can't even proof read a self written article properly

[Solaris Phase Two]

you have some stars on that team they just need time.

[Mark.]

Dmastawwe, Yup I agree, Tobias, Harkless and Vucci-Mane look sure to shine if given the chance and patience.

[Arcane]

something to aim for next season but hopefully you can get some big signings

[Valor]

Not a great season but at least you will get good odds on that ping pong ball Can't wait to see what you do in the offseason

[Vespasian92]

I'm actually a fan of Vucevic and think he's a nice piece to have. Moving Davis and/or Harrington could give more time to Nicholson too...

[hova-]

Let the balls bounce.

[Mark.]

Arcane, Yup, hoping to improve next season, not wanting to make too many signings though, especially big money ones.

Valor, Yeah the odds are there, just not that excited about this years draft though Oh well, liking my roster anyway, especially the young core led by my main man JJ!

Vespasian92, Yeah Vucevic is awesome. Just need to get a scrappy defender next to him, or a shot blocker. Common sense would say to pick Noel if he is available I guess.

hova-, Bring on the lottery

[Mark.]

[SuperHueyNewton]

Heat knocked out by Nets and Philly making it to the finals? Um.. neh

[hova-]

Sorry for this damn end of the season. I guess you did not tweak a lot during the season (roster etc) so the results pretty much are fucked up. Thats 2k though ...

[Axel The Great]

2K sim engine showing how much of a troll it can be. At the very least, you didn't finish with the worst record in the league, and hopefully you may be able to luck into the second or even the first overall pick.

Also, nice presentation on the end-of-season report, especially with the awards.

[Mark.]

SuperHueyNewton, Haha I know right, not the flashest of playoffs. Although I do like to see the Grizzlies get a title.

hova-, No I guess I didn't change much. Having Andrew Bynum on the Sixers was always going to affect the landscape of the league I guess.

Axel., Thanks mate, was pretty happy with the awards presentation, not sure about the rest, just trying to get it done.

[Mark.]

[Axel The Great]

The second pick is definitely not bad considering you were projected to get the third. Luck was on the Wolves' side in the lottery though, they moved up six spots! I've noticed 2K has a tendency to do that, as I've seen that happen a couple times in both 2K11 and 2K13.

[hova-]

Hell, the T-Wolves with some huge luck, but you are also pretty good with the 2nd spot I guess. Will be interesting to see how you gonna handle it.

[Solaris Phase Two]

Trololottery

[Mark.]

Axel., Yeah I am happy with the second, although as I alluded to earlier in an article, I have no idea who I want to pick so am thinking of trading down to get an extra pick or something.

hova-, The Timberwolves jumping was certainly a huge one, kind of what the Wizards did this year IRL.

Dmastawwe, Haha nice one. Yea a bit of trolling, although not much different than real life this year

[Phil89]

I'm interested to see what you end up doing with your pick. Also to see who the Wizards and Thunder can get at 12 & 14.
