Also Zo averaging 29.0/9.0/4.5 without Jarrett Allen and Harrell in these two games. The best Ball brother in the sim is carrying, we love to see it.

Perfect bench C for the rebuild when you also take into account his passing ability and shooting over 40% from 3

Giddey had me cracking up with this response though :lol:

Great game NE. I hate losing but this one comes close to justifying all my moves.

Good game man.

Going into this one I knew it would be tough. Looks like we held them to just 10 points in the first quarter before eventually blowing a 24 point lead. Glad to escape with the W.

Great showing Buzz. I was afraid y’all would end our streak. So much firepower you have there with Trae, DeRozan & Siakam. I hate losing too, so I’m glad we survived what looked like a nail-biter. GG!

Your defense was to much tonight my friend. You held Siakam, DeRozan, and Lopez to a total of 26 points. Trae, Kennard, and OO stepped up but it was not enough.

The top of the West is insane. You got OKC (without Harrell, and now without Allen for 2 games) Dallas and San Antonio on 9-1 stretches and Golden State sitting at 16 straight wins. Portland is also quickly catching up to the Nuggets, outside of San Antonio no one is going to have an easy path to the 2nd round.

And I was supposed to try to compete in the west?

Im glad I took the ground up approach year one.

To be fair half the reason the top of the league is so strong is everyone else is tanking.

There are many factors to that.

I personally think it was the age group of the FA the best young stars are all locked up.

90% of the league is being carried by an Older players. Most whom people had bird rights to.

I just don’t think everyone can complete their vision when the players you actually want are already locked up as well.

I think for some teams it made sense to tank (you're one of them). A lot of other teams would've been better off going all in on rebuilding with the contracts resetting last year. Almost everyone could've got them a star player if they really wanted to, and the rookie resigning deals wouldn't be so OP.

Steph Curry was fairly easily attainable for example.

You honestly did not have the assets to build anything better than a play in team. But you could have went that way. Its probably what I would have done and chased some great to good players with all my cap. Then done the deals at the deadline to start working on my real vision.

To each his own and I respect your approach.

I really tried to get some early Talent. Allen was my first target, I just couldnt get a gauge on what value was when FA first opened. I thought 200 would have been enough....

Silly me lol.

Then I saw what Murray went for and I was wrong on that as well

After I seen that I kinda switched up and said I was like I will start fully over.
