Build a Franchise Discussion Thread (Season 6)- Announcement on page 71- Tuesday- Opening Night

[Fat]

I have a interest in George, Collins, or Capela. Right now I have one top 15 protected pick in n 2023; its unprotected in 2024.

Don't forget me. I'm going to break .500 and make the playoffs come hades or high water...

Collins or Capela ideally I’d want to move for cap space relief but we’ll see maybe we can work out some kind of 3 way trade down the line.

Mikal Bridges, Isaac Okoro, De'Andre Hunter, Onyeka Okongwu, and Christian Koloko are all considered young when compared to a lot of NBA players.

Ima PM you

Got a feeling the fireworks are gonna go off like never before on Jan 15th with all these big names set to become available. Winning/Losing could change a lot between now and then though.

Spurs on Jan 15th...

The Central in the East is brutal again. I would put Chicago in the same 48 to 50 win mix as Detroit and Indiana. I like the Bucks depth with five 3.0 to 3.5 players also.

I added win totals and I'm 4 wins short league wide. I say this to say Chicago has a lot of competition I think 3.5 star Kawhi isn't cutting it against. 50 wins in that division is already a tough task with all that competition. All this means is that you're taking the over lol.

true but thats a pretty small window

Larger than making some noise in playoffs this year

You do have one if not the best player in basketball so anything can happen.

lot of factors to consider. lot of risk reward there. If you aren't good and lose a lot you might kill all that hard work with your FA rating you have built up. I finally just started to recover from my tanking year FA rating wise and it took a 70+ win year to do that.

To do all that potential damage and leave it up to the lottery gods if you keep your pick would be a lot but I see the tantalizing youth in the draft.

Could also pivot halfway through the year too...if you miss playoffs with them more evened out odds teams are jumping from the 8th or 9th spot.

I'm sure the vision will become more clear for you as the season progresses.

Oh vision is pretty clear

14 assists or more in 5 of his last 6 games...crazy.

[bringbackhoffa]

Considering you only have 3 players available to be currently traded I'm guessing this is a Jan 2023 deal?

I was sweating out injuries over my big deal last year and that was maybe 2 weeks worth of wait time...I can't imagine agreeing to a deal in principle and waiting a month and a half for it to be processed
