Only win blowout against champs lol wtf

I just have to let the season play out my man. I am playing my best players and so far that is not good enough. I did not see this coming for sure.

Its a long season and we will see if things turn around. I don't think I have had a easy schedule so far.

Welcome back Devonte!

Terry was done dirty by the SIM, they straight up disrespected his scoring and ball handling rating.

Had to move him because he just wasn’t getting the amount of shots to make a difference on my team.

Devonte should bring some extra stability to the backcourt both in ball handling and defense

Rudy gay has a 80+ defense I’d recommend testing him out with the starters.

He is set to get more minutes than Bey coming off the bench. Bey 24 as a starter. Gay gets 26 as a combo forward off the bench.

Thanks for not including me in any of those trades where I get a PG.

Yall buttholes

I really thought that Dinwiddie would post more gaudy numbers in Washington, but he's looking rather pedestrian across the board. At least with this deal I get an upgrade for this year instead of hoping Dinwiddie regains his value.

Great trade. Still mad I couldn't get Gallo myself, but beyond that the Jazz get a major upgrade to their big depth. The defense gets weaker though. Any Cole/Gallo lineups will need Jakob out there.

Denver hasn't necessarily upgraded IMO but they got good players. Seems more like a shuffle, lets see if the chemistry works better.

Toronto... Yeah man 2010 done did it again. Muscala is playing good as hell right now, Rozier is a monster in the sim, and Paschall is also good in the sim.

My team is so bad/disappointing I am starting to think standing pat is the way to go. I don't want to make any knee jerk trades for one thing.

New plan: Let the season play out. Make moves ( trades, free agents. draft ) next season based on the big picture. See what kind of ratings my players get for next season....

Too many people are going to blow it up panicking. You should look to take advantage.

Potentially

the unknown about Zion's career does throw a bit of a wrench in the long term future. And you will have to get more defense if the plan is to build around Luka/Zion/Sexton. But the good thing is the 3 of them make less than 30% of the cap. So when KP expires you should have a lot of freedom to add to that core.

My team is struggling to break 100 pts in this young season and with so many improved teams I was not gonna wait around hoping the tiger changes it’s stripes.

• Rozier I am betting will give me more scoring than he’s showing early on in Denver, due to the makeup of my team. I can definitely use the volume 3pt shooting, giving LeBron some offensive help since LeVert isn’t really a shooter from 3

• Muscala gives me the stretch big as a threat from 3 I have been looking for. Additionally he is rated nicely defensively (71 DEF) by the SIM and on a dirt cheap multi-year deal

• Paschall will provide me with depth at PF with an excellent 75 DEF rating

Building around Luka, Zion, and Sexton plus spending that cap is pretty much the new plan.

Don’t let HEZI distract y’all from the fact he just opened up $49 in cap space despite acquiring comparable talent to what he gave up. Very slick man…
