NBA 2K12: Rebuilding the Cavaliers

[LookItsOP]

Why would the Magic and Rockets do those trades?

Why would you do the first trade?

I'm currently in the process of rebuilding the Cavs, and I wasn't even paying that close of attention to the few moves I made last season, but going into my second season my entire roster pretty much has been turned.

Midway throughout the first season I was offered Kenneth Faried & Javale McGee for Tristan Thompson and my 2013 first RD pick. I negotiated, and we traded 2013 first RD picks, and I picked up Faried & McGee for Thompson.

I had 5 guys go to Free Agency, and in the draft the Celtics offered their #20 pick & their 2013 2nd rd pick & Jajuan Johnson for Antawn Jamison & Anderson Varejao and my 2nd rd pick. I was ecstatic, as I was looking to get rid of those two anyways. (Their performance was pure garbage last season)

I ended up drafting Harrison Barnes with the 2nd pick of the draft, and Tyler Zeller with the 20th.

Seeing as I lost a good portion of my team to free agency, I picked up Gilbert Arenas as a back-up to Kyrie. I also picked up Spencer Hawes due to the fact that Javale McGee keeps getting injured. And I picked up JR Smith because I only had one 2.

This is my current starting 5:

1. Kyrie Irving
2. JR Smith
3. Harrison Barnes
4. Kenneth Faried
5. Javale McGee

I know it's not realistic at all, and my team chemistry is only at 11% right now, but I'm having a good time with this team.

Although due to the fact that this would never happen (I didn't pay that close of attention to my moves throughout the season) I may start over.

I run a 30-team Association, which includes the 2012 draft class. After my first season, Cleveland ended up winning the lottery and obviously I took Anthony Davis. Later in the first round, I picked Tony Wroten for them. Then I made a big free agent splash with them soon after by signing both O.J. Mayo and Michael Beasley. My Association's 2012-13 Cavs look like this:

C: Anderson Varejao / Semih Erden
PF: Anthony Davis / Tristan Thompson
SF: Michael Beasley / Omri Casspi
SG: O.J. Mayo / Jodie Meeks
PG: Kyrie Irving / Tony Wroten

I smell playoffs...
