NBA 2k19: The New Millennium(Timeline Intact)

Last time on The New Millennium, young Stephen Curry put on a show, leading his Mavericks to a seven game win over the Nets and the 2011 NBA Championship. Now, the offseason is upon us and changes are coming.





Player Retirements

Biding farewell to the NBA this years were the likes of Chris Webber, Rasheed Wallace, Derek Fisher, Rafer Alston and Ruben Patterson. Webber would be elected into the Hall of Fame.


Draft Lottery

Despite the seventh best odds, the Phoenix Suns won the first overall pick for the second year in a row, and right behind them, the Cavaliers would move up to claim the second pick. The Pacers got the third, and the Spurs and Jazz(again) fell to fourth and fifth, respectively.


- The Phoenix Suns trade 2011 1st overall pick to the San Antonio Spurs for the 2011 4th and 28th overall picks plus SF Avery Bradley(79 OVR)- 

Quickly, the Suns get a deal done, not needing the first overall pick with a solid roster already. But the Spurs need a superstar and were determined to get the deal done, moving two picks along with last year's eighth overall pick in Bradley, who has 85 Potential.

2012 Draft Preview

The 2012 class has two big names in it, as Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard each provide franchise player type potential. There's also the likes of Draymond Green, Andre Drummond and Khris Middleton, but this class clearly lacks quality.
