Los Angeles Lakers 2K11! El Segundo is on fire, the Barbatrucco has re-signed a multiyear contract with the Lakers!

The offices of El Segundo are always the same, Los Angeles is always the same, Venice Beach is always the same, Staples is always the same: what has changed is the universe around, the universe of NBA 2k11: stuff for tough people. The Barbatrucco's philosophy, however, remains unchanged: social-democracy substitutions, enhancement of the bench, shot who is open and Triple Post Offense. And in a team, I don't want duplication players. I've got very clear ideas for my bench (Blake, Brown, Odom/Walton, Powell, Mbenga, Morrison), Vujacic and Barnes I don't need. I do a flash easy negotiation with the Hawks, sending Theo Ratliff to Atlanta in exchange of Josh Powell's return, then I dedicate myself to the Serbian and Barnes. I have to think about the future, I think that "Lamarvellous" has 2-year contract and will not be renewed in summer 2K13, I need a young promising but still in the shadow. I had already identified it in NBA 2k9, but now I can do my own, exchanging him for Matt Barnes: this is Earl Clark, 3-4, 22 year old from Phoenix Suns. The next two years learning from Odom will make it ready for future replacement. Vujacic is therefore to place, and here again I look to the future. I send him to Cleveland and in addition put on the truck the first Lakers choice in the next Draft: in exchange for Vujacic choice, I get the 2K13 first round Draft pick of the Cavaliers. Now I drive a starting five ("Fish", Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum) and a solid bench (Blake, Walton, Brown, Odom, Clark, Powell, Mbenga, Morrison). The goal? Always the same, win the last game of the season. Which means only a thing
