Congrats mpharris! 4peat is just incredible

NewEra · Post #1242 » by **NewEra** » Thu Jun 5, 2025 1:32 pm

Copying and pasting from the last three years: Congrats on winning yet another title MPH...Wow

You've completely dominated this game and managed to do so while moving on from Steph too which is truly impressive. Context built arguably the most talented team I've seen in a long time. To beat that team took more than talent, but exceptional strategic planning. 4-Peat is just historic behavior. I think your identity and style of build is clear. Props to you for having the discipline to stick to it. Definitely learned a thing or two. Well done!

Context, what an amazing run with many other accomplishments gained throughout! Congrats on leading the Detroit Pistons to an Eastern Conference Championship. Not easy. DET fans would be proud. You deserve EOY votes for sure. All the best to you on a huge off-season to come.

We've got some OG's and newcomers here that I know are coming back even stronger, so can't get comfortable. BaF is about to be crazy next season!

Alright back to work! Spurs open for business for the 25/26 season. I would say the only untouchable is Jokic. Everyone else I would be willing to move if the offer makes sense. I pretty much have everyone under control for next year but always like shaking up the team year to year.

Salute to Context who I gave my vote as GM of the year. What you did in one season is almost as impressive as the spurs winning again.

Congrats to the Spurs. But can one of yall from the upper tier end this run. Dude about to Chicago Bull it.

Nasty work from yall.

come get him while he's hot...on a 2/$15 contract as well

Post #1259 » by **mpharris36** » Fri Jun 6, 2025 11:11 pm

now that we finished year 8...it got me thinking what couple players in recent past that aren't stars would you love to add to your BAF team where you think they would be valued.

Don't make it easy like Kobe or Hakeem or Shaq...try to think outside the box for what you have seen the SIM value and then a player that was out of the league before we started our SIM.

I feel like early in his career Josh Smith would be interesting a wing that blocked nearly 3 shots a game with 1.5 steals and his rebounding at the wing spot would be someone I think would thrive.

Anyone else people can think of?

AK47

But someone like Elton Brand would have probably been an unstoppable SIM beast
