NBA 2k19: The New Millennium(Banana Business)

Stuck on a last place team despite being one of the best stars in the NBA, one superstar hooks up with an old friend to attempt to begin a dynasty. Here are the trades for the 2014-2015 season.





- The New York Knicks trade PG Darren Collison(89 OVR), SG Leo Henderson(85 OVR) and 4 1st round picks to the Sacramento Kings for PG Chris Paul(95 OVR) and SG K.J. McDaniels(71 OVR)-

After 9 years spent in Sacramento, most spent losing, CP3 is off to the bright lights of the Big Apple. In doing so, Paul(still just 29) joins up with Carmelo Anthony, whom he was just pictured with early in the summer as part of the infamous Banana Boat quartet. Sacramento gets some solid pieces in Collison and Henderson, though Henderson is 37 with his contract expiring at the end of the year. The Kings also receive 3 picks(Clippers, Knicks and Timberwolves) for the upcoming draft as an attempt to completely rebuild their team.


- The Sacramento Kings trade C Sherman Conway(90 OVR) to the Philadelphia 76ers for C Dan Buckner(87 OVR), PF Louis Joseph(76 OVR) and 2 1st round picks- 

The Kings finish blowing up their team, sending Conway to Philly. In exchange, they take on Buckner and Joseph, both of whom have expiring contracts, as well as picking up picks for this year and next year, both completely unprotected. The 76ers get Conway, who is still signed for 2 years and has remained one of the best centers in the NBA after winning the NBA Finals MVP award for Denver in 2010.


- The Denver Nuggets trade PG Jameer Nelson(84 OVR) and 2015 1st round pick to the Utah Jazz for PG Jason Coles(88 OVR)- 

Speaking of the Nuggets, they jettison the aging Nelson, another part of that championship team, alongside a top five protected Spurs pick to acquire Jason Coles. Coles should provide tons of scoring for a team that looks to once again push for the playoffs.


- The Chicago Bulls trade PG Frank Evans III(81 OVR) and 2018 1st round pick to the Detroit Pistons for PG Dennis Schroder(85 OVR)- 

With starting point guard Damien Baxter(88 OVR) now 35 years old, the Bulls make a move for Schroder, who is still only 21. In making this move, they give up Evans III, who is mostly just a benchwarmer, alongside an unprotected pick.


- The Los Angeles Clippers trade SG Edwin Russell(88 OVR) to the San Antonio Spurs for SF Toni Petrovic(85 OVR) and 2015 2nd round pick- 

With Russell likely to leave in free agency, the Clippers flip him one year after acquiring him in the Dwyane Wade deal. The Spurs offload the 35 year old Petrovic for the 35 year old Russell, who has never been a star, though has scored double digit points for all 10 years of his career.


- The Los Angeles Clippers trade C Marion Geiger(85 OVR) to the Milwaukee Bucks for C Pat Riley(80 OVR) and 2016 1st round pick- 

Since losing James Harden in free agency, the Bucks have drafted C.J. McCollum(82 OVR, 87 Potential), Draymond Green(81 OVR, 87 Potential) and Andrew Wiggins(81 OVR, 85 Potential). That makes next year's pick expendable to them, though they did chose top ten protection before sending it to the Clippers. They get back Geiger, who will be their starting center next season.
