Hey, nobody asked me, right? But I am gonna give it anyway haha

- Take all of these with a grain of salt and have fun;

- May include irony;


Eastern Conference

Atlantic

Boston Celtics

Consider condensing some of those unrealized youth potential players into 2k established talent, not all of them, but some. You’ll know the ones. You already have 2 guys to compete, it’s time to leave the shadows.

Brooklyn Nets
Time to face the fact Jamal Murray may not be the future of the franchise or the piece that can bring you a title. He’s still good, so a trade for a reload here might be the play.

New York Knicks

The depth of the team doesn’t look like enough to compete for a ring even if Dame was healthy. Trade Dame for a profit now and reload for the next time when Ingram is ready for his role.

Philadelphia 76ers
The team doesn’t make a lot of sense right now.  Trade Hayward and Green while their value is still solid and make Fox the man with the keys to the city.

Toronto Raptors

Zion is at risk of throwing his career away, you wanna bet on him, you sure? Trade Zion or Paul George and keep the hope alive for this year.

Central

Chicago Bulls

I don’t know…find a decent playable small forward for a change?

Cleveland Cavaliers

 There is no rush to trade CJ2k, take your time or risk losing real value.

Detroit Pistons

Trade Kyrie before he explodes, somehow, dude is a ticking time bomb. Everything is in play with this guy. He’s still a 2k god, so go go go.

Indiana Pacers

Get out of cap hell, it’s not worth it if you’re not seriously competing. Turn the rebuild mode all the way on, no half measures here.

Milwaukee Bucks

The ratings are not well rounded for a serious run at the title this year. Next season is your goal to peak, keep the pace and no big moves to compromise the future for this season.

Southeast

Atlanta Hawks

The team is not ready to compete. You have some real value and affordable salaries that contenders can use, trade them and be patient on the rebuild until the next window.

Charlotte Hornets

It would be nice to have some young promising talent on the squad from time to time as insurance for when things go bad. Prepare for the future.

Miami Heat
You have waited this long for so many players, see Isaac through no matter the cost and do go on a fire sale.

Orlando Magic

Get to know your team fully until you make any moves. There are moves to be made, but your valuation need to be on point.

Washington Wizards

You have the youngest superstar duo in the league. You are ready for the marathon. Don’t sacrifice too much for that third guy, the right trade will come to you.

Western Conference
Northwest

Denver Nuggets

Just wait for MPJ another season and see how the team looks before deciding on a move on him. And please find a better big man for the future.

Minnesota Timberwolves

Just…be…patient…breeeeathe.

Oklahoma City Thunder

Write a letter to 2k sports because they hate all your players. They simply do not develop for 2 years. I feel your pain as if it were my own.

Portland Trail Blazers

Do everything in your power to make the Spurs life difficult this year and then go Thanos mode again next season.

Utah Jazz

Hire your services as a draft consultant for fantasy basketball nerds all around the world, and hold on to Giddey and Wagner at all costs.

Pacific

Golden State Warriors

Your team needs to be deeper. With the way it is set up, condensing will only make your team more susceptible to injuries.

Los Angeles Clippers

Let go of players more easily, it’s a part of the game. Find a true running mate for Giannis.

Los Angeles Lakers

Take as many chances as you can as far as players, longshots and acquire as much value as you can in trades for your vets.

Phoenix Suns
Time to take a chance on more higher ceiling players, the team has enough “safe” guys with limited or realized potentials.

Sacramento Kings

Time for a refresh, not a rebuild, plan for the future a little bit so you can go all-in again in the next seasons to come and not burn out.

 

Southwest

Dallas Mavericks

Trade KD, yes, but do it to put yourself in place to contend in the near future. Don’t spend a long time rebuilding, it’s not worth it.

Houston Rockets

It is time for a bigger, bolder move. Go after that real #2, you don’t have it in your squad yet, but you have the assets to make this team competitive for a championship. Let go of some players, it will be good.

Memphis Grizzlies

Enjoy and bask in the glow of the fact that your style of play and team build finally was rewarded by 2k. You have been proven right. The defensive gospel according to Rootsey.

New Orleans Pelicans

Just wait, don’t really move unless you have to. If you don’t touch it, I believe you have a 10-year dynasty on your hands. Ja is about to become nasty.

San Antonio Spurs

Do NOT make plans for the future, it does not matter. All that matter is the ring. This year and the next. After that, I expect the Shadow of Mordor to dawn San Antonio, but that is a long time away.

Hope you enjoyed it, see you next time!
