The NBA, But Every Trade Has Been Reset 

*okay biggest FAQ to address that my essay doesn't make clear: I only set out to reset the FIRST trade of a player. so KD being traded to PHX got reset, but I didn't go further to reset the trade (sign and trade) that sent him from Golden State to Brooklyn. In some cases, a different player MAY HAVE ignited a second trade of a player, ie: James Harden's trade to PHI was reset, then his trade to BKN was reset because of Jarrett Allen getting to Cavs via that trade. Make sense? Maybe? Idk lol... anyways!* *”Jay Canada Trades Reset” or search JayCanada10 to find the roster! Only on PS5* Okay, here goes the “very detailed explanation” of how I built this roster lol, this is gonna get confusing I apologize in advance. Starting at the 76ers, I went through an updated version of the current NBA, and each player (of note, I ignored some depth pieces I’ll be honest) that arrived on their current team via trade - I searched the details of that trade, and marked them down to be reset. For example: James Harden was on the 76ers, had been traded for Ben Simmons, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond… so I marked that down with the date (February, 2022) After finding rough 70-80 trades of note, with all necessary player details included, I re-arranged my list to organize the trades in chronological order, from July 2023 back through February 2017. From there, I simply went down the entire list starting most recent, and put players back on the teams from which they were traded. Obviously, quite a few players have been moved more than once (freakin’ Robert Covington comes to mind), but again, I went chronologically from one move to the next. Now the confusing parts: I included players traded as future 1st round picks, because it introduced more chaos (Luka for Trae for example) even though yes, maybe that doesn’t make complete sense. I mean especially in the case of Tatum for Fultz at the 2017 Draft, those were specifically two draft picks being traded not players… but whatever, I included it! I did make a cut-off though, if a player was traded as a pick (or for players I guess) and it happened long enough ago that most pieces of the deal aren’t in the NBA anymore, I didn’t include it. For example: Damian Lillard was technically traded as a future 1st round pick by the Nets in like 2012 or something, but no other parts of the trade are still in the league, so that seemed like a stretch. Also, and this might be the most important part: I didn’t keep going back and back and back as I traded players around, each trade had to have a link to the current NBA rosters. So Russell Westbrook for example… I put him back on the Lakers as part of that giant trade, because it’s how Jarred Vanderbilt (among others) landed on the Lakers this season - so that trade had to be reset, right? Then I reset the original Westbrook to Lakers trade, because when I got to Washington’s roster, Kyle Kuzma was there, and he arrived in Washington as part of that trade - so boom, reset! But that’s where the Russ train ends. He was previously traded from Houston for John Wall, but I had already reset a more recent John Wall trade, so both links to that trade were gone. Hence, Russell Westbrook stayed on Washington, and John Wall is actually a free agent. Having a trade link to the current roster is also how Kawhi ended up back in San Antonio like I outlined in the video. When I got to Keldon Johnson on the Spurs, I had to reset the trade that brought him there, meaning it bypassed Kawhi signing with the Clippers. I think there were a few other quirky examples like this… actually yes, Jimmy Butler. I reset his trade from Philly to Miami, as well from Chicago to Minnesota. But I bypassed his trade from Minnesota to Philly because there weren’t any direct links that came up in the current NBA roster. Anyways, I probably made like 10 mistakes anyways because of how convoluted the rules I made up for my own video are, but hey, what can you do! I end up being way too thorough for my own good when making these videos lol. If you happened to make it all the way to the end of this comment, holy moly you’re a stud, let me know by commenting: “Kawhi & Victor for the win” in response to my comment. I have no idea if they’re gonna win in this video, but the idea of those two playing together is a super cool outcome from how I built roster. The end!

I need you to put this as a actual roster in the 2k share

Been subbed since 2k19 Jay! I remember all the NMS Series and all the videos! Love that your going the MyLeague direction since MyTeam hasn’t been good this year! Love the content Jay keep it up!🔥🔥

Dejounte, Vassell, Kawhi, Sochan, Wemby. Now *that* would be one hell of a team. On paper anyway. Probably the only team with a starting 5 of only players drafted there

Mikal Bridges should have been on the 76ers cause he was traded on draft night

I love Jay Canada always making bangers🔥

Ja morant was the first ai player to keep up with a myplayer of mine, somehow in 10 minute quarters he managed to put up 67 as an ai player(I put up 69, was still in rookie season)

As a Grizzlies fan it made to so happy to finally see the Grizzlies win in one of these videos. keep up the quality content Jay

Kawhi & Victor for the win… I’m a little late to the vid but I did read the entire comment🤣

Gotta appreciate the effort he put in man!

jay when are the alltime teams coming

Could you do a sim of every team and putting all first picks on the same team and same with second and third and so on until every team is full with the same players of the same pick?

You should do this again but also reset their overalls

(2017) if the celtics kept one they would still pick tatum 1st because they though fultz and Lonzo were overated.

The goat is back at it

On 6:26 how did he get James Wiseman’s headshot? Edit: How is he even getting Tyrese Maxey, Desmond Bane and other people in the 2020 nba draft class’s headshots?

Donovan Mitchell was drafted by the nuggets and traded to the Jazz, besides that great video 🐐

Hawks/Wolves was my MyLeague Finals matchup lol

Can u do a video of nba but all the players are on the teams that drafted them

random but i caught this at 16:17 .. the team on the right side of the simcast is the home team, which is atlanta here

Bro is the nicest RU-vidr I know❤🎉

Bro you need to do a vid like where there draft 😅

How long do you think this took?

I haven’t seen you since 2018 the good old days ❤

How are there actual pictures for players like Ant and Tyrese

Spida and Gobert were draft day trades were they not? Spida was drafted to the Nuggets, then traded to the Jazz. And I think Gobert was also traded to the Jazz if I’m not mistaken.

Jalen brown should be on the nets he was picked from that nets pick in the pierce and kg trade so as dame and Tatum

You probably got the most original ideas on youtube rn

the warriors would have kd because the deal with brooklyn was a sign and trade thats why dlo was on the warriors for that one season

if you did luka and trae you had to include donavan and gobert on denver they were both picks traded from denver

I’m pretty sure Carmelo was traded to the knicks for the picks for Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic so you could have added that

Next you should reset every player to what team they were drafted by

How do I get CP3 on Golden State

What about the warriors with Kevin d

do this same thing but everybody is in their primes

kyrie should be back on cle and sexton should be on boston with some of th other ones you reset lmao

I hope I get a finale to spin to win

I wanted the t-wolves to win so bad 😢

do this again but optimize the line-ups

2:05 is wrong, I'd just like to address that Donavan Mitchell was drafted by the Denver Nuggets and NOT the Utah Jazz.

god damn it. just once i wanna see zach succeed in these

Why is harden on the rockets kawhi on the spurs and russ on the wizards where khawi got the first team he got trades to the spurs but he got drafted to indiana. Harden got last traded to the nets but got traded to houston from the thunder and russ is on the last team he got traded to? This makes no sense

Jolie averaged a triple double in real life and in this video and we still only go for 31 wind

Donovan got drafted by Denver at the draft got traded to Utah

You forgot to change bol on the nuggets

Technically KD should still be on Golden State cause it was a sign and trade

wasnt jrue holiday drafted by the sixers?

Penny or Tmac jersey in the background?

Why twolves why 😭😭😭😭

This is a Banger!

Take two of the best players on each team and spin a wheel on what new team they go to

i love your videos

Bruh how jt and je went for 83 in a L 💀

Hornets fan so I mean not really to crazy for us

was ben simmons at center??

Lost me at tatum on 76ers , tatum was on celtics radar regardless of 1st or 3rd so if they never traded the first pick for the 3rd they still wouldve got tatum.

Bruh u should have put kd in warriors since it was a sighn n trade

Jokic was picked using the knicks 2nd rounder from melo trade

Dinwiddie should've been back on the Mavericks, right?

Lesssssssssssss go I’m a grizzlies fan

Westbrook im pretty sure was traded to the Clippers during the Trade Deadline

I never understand 2k simulations

KD technically should’ve been on the warriors due to his sign and trade for DLo

6ers were scared Ja Wick would shoot them if they won

Steven Adams should be with OKC

The hawks are just insane in 2k sim, has nothing to do with Luka

Automatically giving you a thumbs up without watching it

Wouldn’t Sabonis be on okc

Kd to the nets was a sign and trade so he should be on the warriors

2k is biased to the hawks for some reason. Every year. I actually tested this and changed every single player on the hawks overall to 40 and they were the 6TH SEED. THEY MADE IT TO THE SECOND ROUND where they took the Celtics to SEVEN FUCKING GAMES. 2K isn’t slick, I’m on to them. Whoever the main programmer is has to be from Atlanta. Surely.

Russ should have been on the okc thunder

go hawks

Love God

Mikal Bridges should be in Philly

The Nuggets Went from the 15th seed To the 2nd Seed in A Season

2016-17 warriors left the chat

This video really shows how bad the timberwolves have been at making trades past few years

KD was a sign & trade

Both Rudy and Donovan were drafted by the nuggets and traded to the jazz, so they shouldn’t be on the jazz

We found out that Valanciunas is the GOAT and Chris Paul can’t even win a video game ring

Even if it is a sim having wiseman on the warriors gives me ptsd he is so trash

Um James harden was traded to the rockets why was that not reset?

LeBron is on the Cavs not lakers?

Tatum still would’ve been selected number one for the cektics

Why isn't Westbrook on the thunder

Tatum should be on Boston, Danny Ainge said he woulda drafted Tatum number 1 if he didn't get the Philly trade

Why not reset lebron

Westbrook should’ve been on the thunder again and Chris paul should’ve been on the clippers

Philadelphia vs Memphis I am looking at my 2k20 my career finals rn I swear if Philadelphia goes down 0-3 and comes back You stole my script

Why 70 why not like 50 or 100? Whatever you make good videos

kawhi and victor for the win

First and thank you for this amazing video!

Trae Young with Dallas is 14😂 and Luka with a medium team like Hawks without Capela is the first in East🫠🫠🫠

You are smart
