[2K23] Lob City Clippers, Est. 2002 - McGrady scores 60 points on the Clippers
by Raps in 4 on Wed Apr 12, 2023 2:05 am
Yes, another one from me. My other saves aren't dead! A few reasons:
I'm still practicing the mode for my main save (Grizzlies)
My Knicks save is fun but a bit easy playing with 4 Hall of Famers.
So with this one I'm trying to see what I can do with a worse team and on a higher dificulty.
A couple of trades to start things off: I inquired for Shane Battier as I was doing my due diligence inquiring for good young players, I needed a center, especially after trading Olowokandi to Memphis.
and they came up with this. I accepted it, as I wanted a point guard who is a threat from outside anyway.
I think both Battier and Williams are really good and fun additions to the team. And it allows me to practice their jumpshots too.
Chris Andersen is not only a good shotblocker, but a lob threat too so he could fit in very nicely.
