TRADE PLAYER
The players you have on your team today may not be the
group that can bring home the NBA Championship at the
end of this season. Chances are you’ll have to improve your
team through player acquisition to reach the next level.
To make player trades:
1. At the Player Trade screen, highlight a player you are
ready to trade, then press the A button. The player
appears in your trade offer.
2. Press the White/Black button to select the team you want
to trade with, then highlight the player(s) you wish to
trade for and press the A button to add them to the offer.
• Each team may offer up to three players or draft picks
in one trade. As you set the trade, the interest bar
shows the other team’s interest in your offer.
• To remove any player from the trade offer, highlight
him again is the roster list and press the A button.
3. When you think the offer is fair, press the START button,
then select YES to make the offer. If the other team
accepts the offer, the players switch teams. If the other
team rejects the offer, you can modify the offer, initiate a
trade with another team, or wait until later in the season
and try again.
• Remember the 500,000 per year limit. You may trade
player(s) that take you over the point limit and teams
over the limit can trade as long as the point values
match up. A team over the point limit or a team in
making a trade that would take them over the limit may
acquire in trade no more than 115 percent plus 10,000
pts in point value of the players being traded out.
TRADING BLOCK
The Trading Block is where you display the players you
think you can get along without and entertain trade offers
from other teams coming to you.

Sega Sports Tip: As the draft progresses, press the right
thumbstick left to cycle to your roster and keep up on your
team’s needs. It’s great to pick the highest rated player
each round, but in the long run, it is more valuable to build
a balanced team. Press the right thumbstick right to return
to the draft.
COACH’S DESK
This is where you conduct transactions, create and evaluate
game plans, track player stats, and more.
CALENDAR
The Calendar lists daily league games and keeps note of
final scores. You can use the Calendar to confirm your next
opponent and select whether to play or simulate the game.
• To page through the Calendar to check out your schedule,
press the left/right trigger.
• To play the next game, make sure the box next to the
matchup is checked, then press START. The game
summary begins as the teams take the court. (See
On The Court on p. 11.)
• To simulate your next game, uncheck the box next to the
matchup, then press the START button. When you are
prompted to confirm your decision, select YES.
• When all games have been played or simulated for the
day, press the START button to view the Nightly Wrap-Up
and advance to the next day.
FRONT OFFICE
This is where player personnel decisions are made. You can
negotiate contracts, initiate trades with other teams, place
your players on the trading block, and field offers as they
come in.
• To begin wheeling and dealing, choose a Front
Office option.
