I Have to Trade Kevin Durant...? | Nets Franchise | NBA 2K23

[@Sixringsofsteel]

Hope you guys enjoyed episode 1 of the next franchise series, I really need your help on this teams direction haha

[@chrisjuhl9706]

Day two of asking for a rebuild where are you go back to the bird versus magic era simulate until one of the teams come through the expansion draft and then rebuild that team to see how many championships you can, when using the players are able to draft

[@MathWithDylan]

Loved it, btw check out 37:15 for a monstrous under the radar game from Simmons

[@Zmung23]

DO THE KNICKS NEXT

[@noodstradamus]

Could introduce some expansion teams for the next episode, considering the rumors in real life and the timeframe is there about. Could add another dimension to the franchise rebuild. Great video as always Mattrick

[@quilangangelojeffersonh.4306]

Do a warriors one next

[@RANDOMPLANET]

Ummm. @sixringsofsteel not sure if you saw this... but pretty sure there was a corruption in the editing, season 2 vs Boston it went from Q2 of game 6 directly to the ECF without seeing how round 2 ended.

[@nicholasgreene788]

He probably forced the wins so KD could come back. But 2K got him back with the pacers series 😂

[@o0DeathRockBoy0o]

Really like this style of longer term rebuild. Having it spaced out over multiple episodes feels a lot better than trying to cram 10ish years into one vid. Allows you and us to get more invested in the players and the teams arc over that time.

[@giovannichacon3339]

I feel like 3 failures should be enough to move the franchise in a different direction. I believe you should either focus on One of your two big guns (either Kyrie or KD) and get them a star that fits perfectly with the one you choose or just completely move on

[@charliewingert4909]

Exactly. Especially with 2 in real life as well

[@davonanderson8052]

They fit well together tho as of rn they been hooping and they both can perform in the playoffs. I just think they need a real big and Ben Simmons is who I would trade tbh

[@giovannichacon3339]

@@davonanderson8052 no I get you completely, I’m saying in game

[@JuDanie1]

I think part of the reason KD's numbers were looking considerably low is because the rotation timeline has his minutes down. I've had instances of setting someone's minutes to like 36 a night, but the rotation timeline gives him like 28 because of players on my bench eating into the position minutes. With you having like 5 SFs in your rotation, that might be it

[@outerHeavenGaming]

Yeah I’ve had this problem recently when I wanted my PG to play heavy minutes. You’re right though, he’d have to make some guys who are SF/SG to SG/PG and guys who are PF/SF to PF/C

[@outerHeavenGaming]

Yeah that’s exactly right, and need to make sure you don’t have too many SF/SG and PF/SF and have some that are SG/PG and PF/C so it’s possible for KD to get the minutes at his position

[@stewartoconnor6446]

Exactly! Happens with a lot of his rebuilds

[@nickjcirillo]

Need to turn the shot distribution slider up

[@outerHeavenGaming]

@@nickjcirillo doesn’t matter man unless the positions aren’t log jammed.

[@Forwhut]

Why we couldn’t see that whole Boston series in the second year man

[@jacobhooley7668]

bro skips the series with boston when boston was winning then force wins for brooklyn smh lol

[@outerHeavenGaming]

With the KD minutes/shots issue I’ve had it myself. It’s because the rotation timeline overrides your set rotation minutes because of players primary and secondary positions it may not be possible for KD to be on during that time. Best way to fix this would be for example if you have KD running the SF with PF secondary. Make sure not too many players who are PF have SF as their secondary position and that not too many SG have SF as their secondary.

[@Marty1997_]

Love these series so far ! I would honestly build around Kyrie & see what happens or just try the big 3 for one more season without giving away draft picks

[@ac-mm3rj]

I like this new style of rebuild a lot...even better than the 10-year rebuilds which were previously my favorite. Gives you and us some time to get invested in the team you build. It was cool seeing you get a little more attached to your homegrown guys in the Lakers rebuild series and even eventually start Shepard and Patton over Lonzo. I also like putting these longer videos on when I'm cooking or doing things around the house. Keep up the great work, Matt!

[@dylansteach9473]

Would love to see the hornets or mavs next both teams could really be fun to do this series with

[@kcooke2356]

Please the hornets 🙏🏾

[@joecon601]

Hornets would be really fun. Tank the first few seasons to get some young stars around ball and then be dominant for a few years.

[@Lanzal0t]

loving those new series! btw, there's a weird cut in that boston series in year 2 - you were down 3 games to 2 and start simcasting game 6 when suddenly you're in the CF 😄 anyway, great video!

[@codesshanahan2835]

never knew u could quick edit the secondary positions in the menus instead of going into each player and edit them. thank you 🙏🏻

[@babyshak98]

You played like 5 or 6 wings and pfs, those are Kds position, he's gonna be on the bench more

[@reijdy10]

add a defensive PF and get a stretch five to space the floor. Myles Turner, KAT, Siakam, Wendell Carter JR. Just someone like what Al Horford does irl with the celtics

[@truffles635]

Great series idea I’ve loved every episode so far.

[@Sixringsofsteel]

Glad to hear it!

[@dcanngieter]

Haha, it's okay to admit that they aren't realistic....we don't mind

[@johannesasnes5860]

You should do one with the Warriors think they would fit well in this type of series. Trying to win Curry another ring in the first episode and then in the second maybe see what the young guys like Kuminga and Wiseman can do. And then in the third maybe just take the team in a new direction.

[@johnjawn_]

29:00 KD only played 29 minutes a night that’s why he averaged 22

[@mosquitokiller1323]

I love your rebuilds especially this new ones. It feels better to see you trying to be realistic and to win. For the Kd problem if you see every year his mpg was 30,31,28 that's why he had this average in points. When you use a lot of players in the same position they eat minutes from your starters. You should make every players primary position the one you want them to play to solve this problem. Keep up the good work and have a nice day.

[@matejperan2805]

I love these new style of rebuilds

[@lukemanley8422]

Absolutely love this Matt. Shout out from England

[@quannbucks3255]

shot tendency doesn’t effect stats if the touches tendency is to low or of the dish to open man is to high high touches tendency more opportunities to shoot (high touches & high shot tendency is good for scorers) high dish to open man they will pass more if a player has to high of a dish to open man tendency he will pass the ball a lot

[@quannbucks3255]

if*^

[@BOnYTB]

Ok so you just finished 24-25, going in to 25-26. So EVERYONE basically has one more yr left if you want (some TOs) beside KD who is a UFA I believe. I think it’s time to basically blow it up and pick your direction. Not necessarily blow it up like trade everyone for picks and bottom out…but this team is old. Jimmy, Kyrie, KD, they’re all hitting their mid 30s and are going to regress most likely. I’d sign and trade KD (I know S&T isn’t the most realistic thing in 2K but whatever, just playing by the rules of their game) I’d check who’s offering him the best deals in FA, and sign him then trade him to one of those top teams. You prolly should take a discount since S&Ts never get full value like if he still had years left under contract. Maybe find a team with cap, get a couple picks and/or a good young guy back depending how good the young guy is. I’d then also trade Jimmy for a good young guy and picks. Decline TJ Warren, then keep the young guys you actually plan to develop and play. As for Kyrie, he’s 33 prolly 34 soon too. I’d really try to go in a younger direction and move him now as well. Basically try to stack up on some extra picks, and prolly don’t wanna be bad (up to you) but maybe be a team full of like guys in their early to mid 20s or whatever. Definitely can’t build around the stars you have now. They’re just way too old and there’s too many yesrs left of this IMO.

[@johnjawn_]

2000’s franchise rebuilding a new team every episode until todays time

[@jmccann482]

How about doing the San Antonio Spurs . With one top pick next year and the potebtial to get a first or two for poetl as well as one for richardson and a massive salary cap room to get a top free agent over the next two years makes things really exciting! Can go from worst to best potentially in three or four seasons!

[@jamesmonge7582]

You should try to trade everyone since they are expiring deals, get some nice young pieces and picks for KD and Kyrie and look to contend with a more defense minded rotation, defense in 2k wins

[@SMILEINDACLUTCH]

These are my favorite kind of my league type videos. Great job SROS for this series idea

[@outerHeavenGaming]

Shout out from Australia. Love your vids man and have been a regular for a long time & a big reason I keep up my own rebuilds. if you want help with the minutes/shot distribution I have the answers for you, but would be easier to explain in message it’s a little complicated.

[@avishaisol8040]

You should turn off the "can't trade while injured" rule. It's not a thing in real life, I don't know why it is in 2K

[@dylandoughney7307]

Maybe turn on trade approval and decline some of the whack trades like that Fox for Klay trade, maybe only for the first season. Bc the Kings wouldn’t do that trade rn

[@babyshak98]

Same team for one more year, just change the bench, u have to get less wings so Kd can go ham, Kd butler, 1 wing off the bench. A center a point guard. At least for the playoffs. You're giving Kyrie to much push with a low minutes 1 of the bench while Kd has 3 backups getting mins. behind him

[@DerekMahurin]

You can’t be starting a 76 overall SG and expect to win. Stop playing bench as many minutes as a good bench. Your top heavy but play 9-10 man rotation. Play like a team that needs to win now play your best players more lol

[@BallerBrain]

That locker room would be a disaster. Jimmy and Warren rivalry with KD and Kyrie drama.

[@ehanqazi9382]

18:33 he just casually mentions Kyrie having 5 blocks?

[@tomerbendavid2288]

You need to trade all of the big three right NOW, it is the perfect opportunity to do this and capitalizes on their stock, as all of them in the last year of their contract. Rebuild mode.

[@greeneagle1919]

Digging the 3 year episodes. I'd recommend moving your face cam to the middle during the playoffs. It's a bit annoying not seeing half of the bracket when there's empty space in the middle of the screen

[@r0.m1]

Things you could do is change the overall of the player whether they are good or bad, because somebody like Ben Simmons isn't gonna improve by much due to his age but if he's averaging 16 7 7 for example, that's not a statline of a 79 overall

[@gussyvince0851]

Hard to build around 2 guys over 35. Maybe before they become unrestricted you flip both or one for a top pick if you see there's a stud in the draft class. If not that, keep your books clean to bring in Tatum

[@bojanvvs5996]

Broo this is amazing.Keep it up🔥

[@nikolasstav1208]

I think the best option would be to let Butler and KD walk, but try to keep Kyrie. He was good in the playoffs every time. Try to keep also Mitchell, Claxton and Reddish. I personally would have a starting 5 with Kyrie, an upcoming promising SG you will acquire at Free Agency, Reddish, Mitchell, Claxton. Get from Free Agency a veteran PG who is good at D and good playmaker, something like Tyus Jones, then add also a SG/SF 3nD around his prime (27-28 years old), keep Kessler Edwards and add a veteran defensive minded C. That way you can be a contender for 2 years until you get back your draft picks and the same time do not screw up your cap space. Also for the spots 10 and 11 for your rotation get 2 players from the draft in positions PG and SF/PF (second round draft picks) and the 12th spot give it to a veteran minimum type of wing. Hope i helped you out!

[@chrisjuhl9706]

Should trade the 3 to contenders with bad contracts and get picks or young assets to move later to build through draft free agency and other trades

[@akielsadique17]

I think the paolo/garland thing happened to luka. He vanished from the league so must’ve had a career ending injury

[@rickyyyy8736]

I don’t think the nets would trade Ben Simmons. Nice pick up in Butler though

[@8luntman]

for these videos u should turn on trade approval to stop stuff like the fox trade

[@calebstevens9446]

How come you never touch the other tendencies like dish to open man, shot contest, block (for claxton) and touches? It’ll make these sims alot more bearable, these players will play closer to how they should play bc you tried to make Ben the pg but his dish to open man tendency is prolly like 65, he needs to b at 80-100. Also edit their plays as well, that determines how they score. For example they don’t have one of Ben Simmons plays as hand off passer even though he’s the ball handler for the nets.

[@mlong1984]

Somehow the Wizards always end up with Scoot Henderson in your rebuilds

[@Nathan-xm5gp]

If mid way through the season you’re around 500, you should flip the big 3 for picks, if not go all out in the playoffs with what you have and do one last attempt

[@bojanvvs5996]

I would like to see one more year trying to win a ring with this squad. I would run Irving and and Butler and pg and sg because they fit perfectly.And we need to find a 3and d forward, preferably veteran to round up a starting 5. Let Reddish be the 6th man,Find a backup pg and figure out the rest, but without giving up any picks. And i would trade K.Edwards 😉. Also, only move KD to the realistic team, if you decide to.

First off, realize that you as a GM made a mistake. Call the Heat and trade Butler back for Simmons. He was playing better on Offense and Defense, surprising as it is, and younger. Then sign Simmons to his cheap extension. Second I do not know why, but KD is not working here at all. So he is fed up and wants out. Call up Toronto again, as they want that win now move with Siakam, and trade for Scottie to be you're new SF
