lol. You gotta do what you gotta do. It's useful. It is cheese though. You could max out a player in multiple stats in a few seasons. -_-

Paired with the untapped potential camp, you could jump dominate OA....

I don't see it being that big of a deal offline, though.

Ya that could be a reason to get Gordon, but what u have to realize not many times were willing to pay the max for gordon. When certain players get max deals from there team they rarely get traded until the final two years of there deal. No one wants a player who might get hurt like gordon has been or get him off potential. only reason Hornets kept him is to make the chris paul trade look better

But there r a ton of young good PGs in the game, so PG shouldn't be a problem if you we really wanna trade for one. hell J. Flynn is FA in the base rosters. Vasquez is a cheap descent stop-gap or #2. a rebuilding team shouldn't be trying to trade for a big star like Rondo in the 1st place IMO. Love P George, but he's due a big payday in 2 years. not sure he's gonna resign again. EG is definately expensive but he's been a scoring beast for me. also this team has absolutely NO inside presence, but tons of outside shooting bigs. So I play mainly P&Rs. . If i was playing the franchise mode, I'd try and trade EG + R.Anderson for draft picks and expiring contracts if you wanna free up cap space and rebuild. since cap space isn't a big issue, (you're rebuilding, not looking to sign big FAs anytime soon), i'd just keep EG for now (u can trade him few years later) and just get rid of Anderson and useless Warrick. btw, some fun young rebuilding teams to try out IMO are philly, char, mlwk, NO, Sac, Denv, Hous, Minn. some are stronger as is Now than others.

Love the insight in year two, Thanks Wangjaz.
One of the main reasons I would love to pair up Rondo and Davis is that EG and Rondo are both max contracts and I feel that it would be easier to attract a third big piece with pieces like Rondo and Davis. A scorer at the 2 or 3, and even another post player to pair with Davis. And as you said, among others, is that EG is a great scorer and one of the best young SGs in the league so he should be able to fetch a lot in return. We'll see though

I like keep it realistic, I never use development drills - like u said, players develop too quickly. I hope player develop if he play more minutes.

On the other hand, I was thinking to set some house rules, ie. just use drills on rookies, players below 65 ovrl, etc...

What about Brandon Jennings? In the associations I start he's always ready to leave Milwaukee. It would be realistic for them to try and get something for him instead of watching him walk. Would he be too trigger happy for you?

Instead of thinking about specific players you would want, maybe a better approach would be to ask yourself, "what team ’needs’ the type of player that I'm trying to trade? " and look at that teams roster.

And it doesn't have to be guard for guard. If the team that ’needs ’ the type of player your trading doesn't have what you want, get another team involved.

I think I enjoy finding the right trades to rebuild as much I do playing the game lol
