Only one NTC handed out this off-season too. We’re getting a little too disciplined here.

I feel you man. I am way to active to tank a season away. I honestly don't know how owners/gm's do it.

The first couple of years I tried to do it as GM but as coach I was like Thibs.

you can have a top pick and make the playoffs.

Showoff.

I haven't drafted in a couple years either. Miss it.

It's fun but stressful also when you are drafting a young guy that you also want to contribute right away because your team is ready to win now. Fit comes more into play since you are drafting a player that needs to mesh with a group that was successful. Overall pretty happy where the squad is at and the rookie additions.

But its crazy where these guys end up in real life is so important to how they will be effective on our SIM teams.

they do it in the nba...so if they can do it there- then it can definately be done against a league driven by a computer...

I get they do it. Its a fact. That does not mean I understand or condone their tanking mentality.

Sometimes you just have to pick a lane and go in to it 100%. When I inherited this wizards team the best players on the team where Fred VanVleet and Vucevic to my best memory. Had barely any top end assets in the way of picks and no real future stud candidates. That first season they were ont he playoff bubble so I made some moves to try and get them there and waited and saw what the outcome would be. Got close to making it but fell short. After that I decided the best thing to do is tear it down starting this off season and try and accumulate assets and young talent. It’s a computer game so it’s not all that painful.. just sucks to not be able to join the playful banter amongst the elite teams knowing it’ll be awhile for me :lol:

I don't have it in me to be non competitive. I always think I am one or two moves away. That is more like ten or more moves by the end of the season :lol:

But you get my point. I think I can always be competitive.

You were blessed with probably the most attractive roster out of all the open teams so its easier to go the route you did while also remaining one of the top teams. Even though you felt the pieces may not have all worked together guys like KAT and Spida still have major value in the league and you were able to acquire the pieces you wanted in return and still have 2 of the top players in the sport.

Some guys as dagawd pointed out took over really tough situations. Limited assets/desirable contracts that teams may want and lack of draft capital to make a trade.

In my 3rd year made the playoffs one year and missed it another year prior and I was in a conundrum where AD was my best player but I saw the other teams in the West were just better and I simply maxed out as a 1st round exit team. So I traded him for a huge return of future assets and bad contracts to even extract more talent with the plan it would take 2 years to get me back. I bottomed out in year 3. But with a mostly rookie starting lineup I made the playoffs last year (year 4) and made a few key trades (Robert Williams/Bogan mid year to give me extra depth). And now with all that cap space opened up from AD trade I was able to trade for Curry and give the team acquiring him over $300 in cap space.

I agree it is def difficult to be non-competitive but sometimes rosters just demand at least a retool to build up your asset base to be competitive in a year or two.

Ditto. But to me, taking the long view is a competitive stance. It's just that Capn'O the coach doesn't give a **** about Capn'O the GM's vision.

Guess who is the 2nd leading scorer on the Hawks right now? Cam Reddish at 18.7 points per game. His shooting splits are a very respectable .442/.563/.818.

I personally just wanted my own lane I didn’t want to build ontop of somebody else’s work. I would of probably blown up any team I would of taken don’t care who was on it :lol:
