Why didn’t they sign CDR? It seems like they want to see him play and earn his spot.

they always do the same with 2rounders. but he has a great future.

I hope they sign CDR before Aug 1 or somethin’ so that on NBA 2K9 he will be on the roster, lol.

CDR is the steal of the draaft he led the NCAA tourny in scoring he doesnt need to prove himself, CDR should be signed rite away!

Relax, he’ll be signed in the next couple of days.

And man, I can’t wait to play as the Nets in 2k9.
I’m thinking the overall rating for the team is gonna be a 73. Is that too harsh? loll

I don’t care what the overall is…it’s gonna be so much fun running a franchise with them. I’ll keep them in Jersey, AND get them LeBron :)

yeah i dont understand why they dont ink them all at the same time. the rookie scales are set so it isnt like the NFL where you negotiate with your picks. CDR should get a 1st rounder type of contract imo. i mean we were trying to trade back in the 1st round to get him and he will be legit. 2 years + 2 more years with options, dont let him leave a year early. keep as many of these young kids together as you can since we are rebuilding.

kidd4mvp- nba live is horrible compared to 2k
and @D.O they usually dont put second rounders in the game their rookie year so hes probably not going to be in the game

@ben

thats your opinion

by kidd4mvpbm on Jul 2, 2008 9:40 PM EDT reply actions

agree w/ben. 2k > live. i used be big a big live fan but i tried 2k a couple years ago and would never ever think of going back. i like to try to play as real as possible with video games which is why i love 2k.

@ben, yeah that is true about 2nd rounders, but there are some 2nd rounders that were big names in college. CDR and joey dorsey come to mind right off the bat. i think they have to be included in the game.

NBA LIVE is way better than 2k

by jesse on Jul 2, 2008 10:11 PM EDT reply actions

2K is 10X better than Live.

by jerrod on Jul 2, 2008 10:14 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah, despite of some bugs(Live has even more) 2k is way better!

I just want this picks going to great players!

@ Ben. I think it depends whose signed by August 1 or whenever the game is made, because I don’t think Yi Jianlian was signed by then and he’s not on the Bucks roster for NBA 2K8. But that’s just what I think, not sure if I’m right or not.
