ANNOUNCEMENT

- Build a Franchise season five will have our opening night on Wednesday 12/8. Just as in past years, we will be simming two league days per day until we our caught up with the calendar. The upcoming schedule can be found in the first post of our main stickied thread.

- All teams need to be roster compliant by Monday night.

- Starting now teams can begin submitting their rotations and minutes. Teams can change these up daily depending on matchup if they'd like or leave them alone all season. If no rotations are submitted, then the sim will choose what they consider to be the best rotation/minutes. All rotations should be submitted to me via PM no later than noon on gameday. I will not be simming any games before 12PM. To guarantee that your rotation is in each day, you must submit by Noon. A sample rotation is posted in the spoiler below. Playing time is given in two minute increments so each player can only be given an even number of minutes.

- Offensive and defensive strategies should be submitted in the same PM as your rotation. Each team can choose one of the six offensive strategies (Balanced, Pace & Space, Perimeter Focus, Post Focus, Grind or Seven Seconds) and one of the four defensive strategies (Passive, Straight, Switch or Attack). A description of each strategy is given in the rules section of the main thread. If a team does not submit a strategy they will be given Balanced/Straight by default.


SAMPLE ROTATION

Spoiler:
PG- Oscar Robertson 34/Bob Cousy 14
SG- Earl Monroe 24/James Harden 24
SF- Billy Cunningham 36/James Harden 12
PF- Elvin Hayes 38/Dolph Schayes 10
C- Walt Bellamy 30/Neil Johnston 18

1- Elvin Hayes 38
2- Billy Cunningham 36
3- James Harden 36
4- Oscar Robertson 34
5- Walt Bellamy 30
6- Earl Monroe 24
7- Neil Johnston 18
8- Bob Cousy 14
9- Dolph Schayes 10
10- Michael Finley 0
11- Daryl Dawkins 0
12- Danny Manning 0

13- Tom Chambers INACTIVE
14- Chet Walker INACTIVE
15- Dana Baros INACTIVE


OFFENSE- Balanced
DEFENSE- Straight

i think chriss is now considered for the EL, as he's not on a team. if that's the case (i think i understand EL), i'm going to have to pick up 2 people, as i still have a roster spot open.

If Chriss is not signed to an NBA deal he is eligible for the EL but he does not need to be placed on the EL. You also only need to have 13 players minimum on your roster so as of now, your team is compliant.

Harden went from a 100 score rating to 79. I think he should at least had been high 80’s to 90 that seems
More fair if they wanted to nerf it.

I'm getting that chart optimized tonight. MP is probably the team I think I'm closest to talent wise. Whoever takes it will be the better coached team, I'm going all out for opening night though.

Dinwiddie is the one that hurts, I wasn't really expecting a big boost for any play this season from Allen/Anthony really. Looking at the landscape of PG's, Anthony with his potential probably plays up to his potential as the sim goes on this year. Harden as we all know, stars aren't the end all be all, but I still expect him to produce gaudy stats.

Harden's scoring rating is under Russ'. I wouldn't expect much more than 22ish PPG. But IDK. I'm hoping for Moses to average 20/10 so what can I say lol.

You ended up being right. The SIM gave LeBron 4.5 stars and Doncic 5 stars.

Lucky guess. But sooner or later old man time catches everyone. Zion is a 4 star w/ 5 star potential. I misread that.
