Gave up offense for some scrappy defense. Agbaji looks like he’s struggling to start the season this year but I like him as a 3D defender and will look to have a nice role for him this year

Okogie is having a terrific start to the season. Very good pesky defender who is shooting the ball very well too right now

Confidence, BBIQ, handle, passing and even some deceptive speed at his size/weight. And he from Bmore.

Congratulations to 2010 and the champion Raptors who are the first ever back-to-back Bubble champions. They romped through the field this year finishing 5-0 with an average margin of victory of 29.4 PPG.

Congrats also to Busta Bucket, showing everyone early that there is a new GM ready to compete for a championship. Boston beat perennial powerhouses Portland, Detroit, Golden State and Brooklyn on their way to the Final.

Now that the Bubble tourney is over, the league office will reopen. Any free agents offers will be opened tomorrow and GM's will be told where they stand on any FA offers. Also, remember that power rankings and GM surveys are due by Friday. Our season is now less than two weeks from opening night.

Helluva Bubble Tourney run by Busta Bucket’s Boston Celtics, who was able to advance to the 2K platform Finals in his first season at the helm, which is quite the accomplishment. Good game!

The Toronto Raptors are now crowned the first ever back-to-back Bubble Tourney Champions!

While we are proud of this achievement, we understand it pales in comparison to the Wolverine Studios sim BaF Championship. We will do everything possible in our attempt to raise a banner on that platform as well.

Shout out to the players who’ve carved out a distinct team identity and have bought into a formula of sacrifice and winning.

Toronto is a dang 2k juggernaut -- congrats, 2010!

I have no idea how 2k compares to the sim but I was happy that my almost completely revamped roster made it to the finals and kept within arms reach of the Raps for most of the game. I've got a pending deal that would've helped against that front line but sheesh, Wemby is a monster...

seems like some of the trades were pretty significant at least based on a sig or two. Waiting to submit my rankings after the dust settles. Also one of the best times of year is seeing the rating releases for every team. Exciting time!
