Re: Build a Franchise (Season 7) Discussion thread continued
Subtractions: De'Aaron Fox, Khris Middleton, Davis Bertans, Isaac Okoro, KPJ (from Fox trade), Patrick Williams (from Fox trade), Brandon Boston Jr, Buddy Hield, Garrison Mathews, Chuma Okeke, Jalen Slawson, Yuta Watanabe, Derrick Favors, Aaron Holiday, 2025 GSW 1st, like 5 second rounders
Additions: Pascal Siakam, Andrew Wiggins, Onyeka Okongwu, Cole Anthony, Isaiah Hartenstein, Kyle Lowry, Grayson Allen, Trey Lyles, 8th pick (Taylor Hendricks), 28th pick (Dariq Whitehead), 30th pick (Trayce-Jackson Davis), 35th pick (Jaime Jaquez Jr.), 53rd pick (Jalen Pickett), 2025 ORL 1st, 2025 ATL 1st, 2025 SAS 1st
I think that's it.. sheesh. Been very active since the beginning off offseason but I anticipate I'll go into the season with this roster for now. Accomplished what I wanted to - I do not like tanking so I think I have a team full of solid vets that will be average but fun at least. And then like 5-6 young guys as well as 6 first round picks in the next 3 years. Hated losing Fox but I was basically stuck with a full roster with no expirings at all and no avenue to really improve in any way.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 7) Discussion thread continued
The Northwest division is some bull. So I gotta deal with:
Kyrie/Demar and a Nuggets team that should be a top 5 offense
Strick's team full of young guys that can instantly have high ass ratings based off a good 20 games to start next year
PG/Bron/Harden
Fox, Bridges, Draymond, JJJ, Herro
and all I got is a great G and C rotation. No wings at all in a division full of scoring talent at the 2 and 3 spots. And my cap space is going to making sure the league isn't crushed by the Spurs again smh.
