So if LMA is back does that mean E-Balla has to waive multiple guys?

wouldn't it just be Dragic since he's taking up his exempt list for LMA?

Then he would be going over the cap to get LMA on the books again though?

I don't think thats the case. I think LMA counts towards the cap and Dragic is free.

His 1033 number has LMA in it (I did the math and I think it works out)...not Dragic who is basically taking up his spot. Its basically why the exempt list filler has to be equal or less that players salary.

The way Bish explained it to me is everyone I used my 12 dollar exempt money on would have to be released if Porter was re-signed and active on a NBA roster. Aldridge has not signed yet; but it looks like its only a matter of time.

My question is did E-Balla use Aldridge's 125 on anyone?

All he would have to do is drop dragic, dragic is currently counting as $125 towards the cap as opposed to his current $115 salary

Interesting. But losing Dragic is a tough one in my opinion.

Not really I think in terms of a SIM impact LMA is the more useful player, even coming off a bad year last year he still avg 44 percent from 3 for me last season on 4 attempts per game. The SiM for some reason has a general positive bias towards giving big men the benefit of the doubt.

He gonna have to release Goran Dragic.

Hoffa likely sold him on LMA being a better / more impactful player compared to Dragic, considering how OKC’s team is built. That’s why that trade was made.

Hoffa didn’t want LMA coming back and forcing him to release Oladipo after he gave up assets for him. So he sold/dumped him on E-Balla.

E-Balla is no fool tho. He had a lack of quality bigs besides Moses, so he is betting on LMA at the expense of Dragic.

He might actually make out. LMA might be a much more needed fit than Dragic.

Yeah I sent out Chriss for Satoransky with this in mind. Westbrook/Simmons/Satoransky can easily cover for me at PG. That's 2 all stars and someone that's started more than half his games the last 4 seasons IRL all at the PG position.

LaMarcus' production in the sim is consistently great and along with Westbrook he led the Warriors to a title already in BaF. Love Dragic but LMA is undoubtedly a better player in the sim. Especially since Dragic should be dropping a lot and I don't think LMA's ratings are going down much (his FTA and rebounding should be down but everything else should be the same and rebounding and getting to the line is what I have Ben and Russ for).

Westbrook AND LMA led the Warriors to a title :wink: A team on which LMA was the leading scorer. Not saying he can reproduce 24ppg at this stage, but it sure is nice to see them reunited. Those two are battle tested and have performed successfully at the highest level in BAF.
