Here is my issue with the 10 day contract signings. If you are going to put certain players like Boykins who just signed a 10 day contract why would you not include the others even though I do understand that for some of these players they won't have artwork, but still the concept of adding them to the correct roster is what we are asking.

I would have to think that at the very least if they have an update next week, they will include those players who have been signed for the remainder of the season by teams. Also, players who had signed 10 day contracts and were not released following the contract expiring, is it asking to much to put those players in the free agent pool as it clearly can be seen that other teams around the league have signed them to other 10 day contracts during the season. Donald Sloan is the clear example. Started the season opening night on the Atlanta Hawks roster, was waived, then signed to consecutive 10 day contracts by the Hornets, was not picked up following the 2nd 10 day contract expiring, then was picked up by the Cleveland Cavaliers for the remainder of the season along with Manny Harris. You add Manny Harris, but Donald Sloan is not as important? I just don't quite understand the harm in including these players with the POSSIBILITY that they could get picked up by another team.

LeBron James overall rating reduced to 98 (+), although I think it should be reduced a little more. Sorry, I just have no positive things to say about LeBron James as I see him as one of the most over hyped athletes in the history of sports who has not done ANYTHING and be compared to the greats of his sport is nothing short of an insult to those who TRULY achieved their rightful place on the ladder of success. "Prince" James as I refer to him because to be a King you must have the bling (Kobe, Jordan, Magic, Russell for example, heck I'll even throw Tim Duncan in there with 4).

@ Eaglerock. I'm definitely not a lebron fan but all those people u named HAD HELP. He NEVER had any help until he joined the heat and they made it to the finals. NONE of those player's did it alone Soooo.....cut the Guy some slack.

I know players like Julyan Stone, Tinsley and Harris arent big minutes guys, but come on 2k, its nearly playoff time and these guy have been on the roster since December

I never denied that the players I mentioned were surrounded by very talented players that helped them win their championships, BUT out of those players I mentioned you do realize ONE thing they all have in common...the team was built around them with the right pieces, none of those players jumped ship and collaborated to team up. One thing I know is this, there will be no championship parades in Miami in the near future no matter what the Heat do. There will be a team from the West and from the East that is going to be talented overall roster wise and like Dallas did last year that will overcome the Big 3 or the Dynamic Duo and Alfred if you want to refer to them as that. To be quite honest as a basketball coach for 17 years LeBron James isn't even in my top 5 of current NBA players as of today, and I could make a case that he isn't in my top 10. As a person I have nothing negative to say about him, but as an athlete much like Alex Rodriguez all that hype has produced what? A-Rod won his 1st world series 2 years ago after how long in baseball? And after how much money making? When it comes to LeBron and all his followers IF he happens to win a championship in his career I don't wanna hear the comparisons to Kobe or Jordan because he is not and will not be at that level because the word "Clutch" describes both Kobe and Jordan and when people have compared you to Michael Jordan and the man that people compare you to comes out publicly and states that Kobe Bryant is the one that has reached any comparison status that should clearly end any debate. There is no shame in keeping an open mind that perhaps LeBron is this generations Dominique Wilkins.
