How thoughtful of you vis a vis my pick. I gotta rest my guys. Release the Drewbanks!

lol man I gotta do my best to avoid a "Luka-broken hand" type injury this late. Same up lineup tonight vs Lakers minus Kemba who still managed to get himself injured.


Same. But Melo is behind me by a game for the 20th pick vs 21st. Cap's best tank lineup is now on display to end the season! Our game Friday should be a barnburner :lol:

Looking at the remaining games, I don't see how I make the playoffs. It's been 24 games in Brooklyn and Bridges still averaging 27 points. This is the way...

I knew Bridges had that type of efficiency and it was a matter of him getting to the right NBA team. All I am hearing is crickets concerning that contract I signed him to in free agency. I don't think anyone is going to be screaming over pay any longer :lol:

No regrets on the trade either. DeRozan is a solid 4.0 to 4.5 scoring machine and his contract expires just in time for me to use my bird rights to keep Trae.

It takes something to get something, we both got what we wanted in the deal. DeRozan is a legit star in the sim and won't be slowing down next year. I loved Bridges, but I got lucky as hell he was traded to Brooklyn. Neither one of us are going to have regrets.

Somehow I went 0-10 not setting any tank lineups at all. Trying to secure losing out and staying in the top 10 with the roster tweaking the last four games though 8-)

I haven't decided if I'm going to play my starters so you might get a heavy dose of Frank that game :lol:

a lot will depend on how these other 3 games go.
