NBA 2k19: The New Millennium(Restocking)

Last time on The New Millennium, the Milwaukee Bucks won their first title in over four decades, as their young core of Karl-Anthony Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, C.J. McCollum and more led them to an enthralling seven game victory over the San Antonio Spurs. Now, the offseason is upon us and changes are coming.






Player Retirements

Biding farewell to the NBA this year were the likes of Dirk Nowitzki, Travis Sanders, Yao Ming, David West and Toni Petrovic. Dirk, Yao and West all made it into the Hall of Fame.


Draft Lottery

The big losers in this lottery were the 76ers, who dropped to pick number 5. Taking their spot in the top 3 were the Wizards, who used a little bit of magic(wink) to leapfrog their way up to the top pick in the draft. The Clippers and Pelicans round out the top 3, while the Heat will pick at number 4.

Offseason Summary

It's a long road back for the Clippers, who have lost more talent over the past 5 years than anyone else in the league. They've already got Gordon Hayward(91 OVR) and now sign Horford, plus get Chao Snyder(84 Potential) out of the draft. Maybe someday they'll reclaim their respectability. The Pelicans are also trying to rebuild their team, as they've lost the likes of Tony Parker, David West, Bradley Beal and DeMar DeRozan over the past couple years. They do get Tatum and Markkanen in the draft, plus sign Knicks hero Jimmy Butler, so maybe the Big Easy will have a team to cheer for in the near future. I do like the Kings getting Collins, I think he's a great fit for their team, as is Fox for the Lakers, who begin their life post-Kobe with Jaylen Brown(85 OVR, 87 Potential) and Myles Turner(84 OVR, 87 Potential).
