NBA 2K13: Three Toughest Associations to Play With

[Da Amba Lamps]

I forgot about drummond, I might just take detroit out for a test drive as my first association, knight, monroe, drummond is one hell of a foundation to start with.

There's a difference between teams that will be tough to play with and teams that will be tough to use in Association with. Since this is about Association, I actually think the three teams you mentioned are three of the EASIEST teams to use.

Miami, Lakers, Bulls and etc will be some of the hardest. Reason being, they're all over the cap, and have older twilight stage vets with less than 3 years left on all their contracts -- with the exception of the Thunder because they have all good to great young players at every position and all of them are locked up for many years to come. They also have the Bird rights of Harden so he would be easy to re-sign (if he doesn't get re-signed sometime by the game release anyway).

Teams like the Cavs, Cats, and Kings have good solid young players who can become future stars (some even superstars), and LOADS of cap room to take a run at players like CP3, Dwight Howard, Andrew Bynum, and Josh Smith among many other formidable role players. You can build a great team in 1 year for the next 8 years with these bottom 3. Or, you can have fun for 2 or 3 years with the teams you have. I'm choosing the former.

No mention of Dion Waiters for Cavs?

Kings were one of the best association teams last year due to trade able parts and cousins and tyreke potential... I wouldn't touch the magic with a 10 foot magic wand!

My Hawks without JJ.

Isaiah Thomas > Jimmer Fredette

New Orleans, Detroit, Charlotte, and Washington in that order for me. I will have a lot of fun in NBA 2k13
