And most importantly not leaving the BAF family, and the best game online commissioned by the GOAT himself, Bish!

Let’s see if I can right the ship before the playoffs and give the WC powerhouses a run for their money.

Good to be back, Cap!

Gotta go up against the best to see if we have something or not, and your patience with SGA and building around him has not surprisingly got you one of the best squads in recent years.

With that being said let’s get back to the regular programming of WC teams

Appreciate that coming from a true OG! Seeing and studying how you put together the pieces to create the powerhouse you have today, you put on a clinic. Easily some of the best GM work I’ve seen.

There was a time I was trying very hard to acquire Herb Jones and was willing to pay an exorbitant price. Don’t even want/need him now. His offensive efficiency has fallen off a cliff too. Sometimes the best trade is the one you couldn’t make.
