Did this many GMs not like the work they put in just some short months ago?
Speaking for myself, I have an excuse for my choppy results as I miscalculated the sim eligibility and have a major piece of my puzzle not in the game. I think that player would have brought enough firepower to vault me from that 6th seed to play-in tier, up to around that Orlando/Indiana/Milwaukee tier position in the East right below the Charlotte/Cleveland tier.
But I’m kinda surprised it seems like there are wholesale changes being made league-wide, with not too many standing pat.
I’ma just keep an eye on how it all looks once the dust settles and then reevaluate.
I personally did most of my signings understanding I'll be moving players. I figured everyone would be giving out 5 year contracts, so grabbing a star on a 3 year would give me a leg up in trade talks. Zo and Allen are here for the foreseeable future though.
This. Only player I signed to be here long term was Embiid. Everybody else was an attempt to gather assets for the deadline while still fielding a team that could keep us in playoff contention. (I actually told a GM this via PM during the off-season.) What I didn’t expect was all this player movement happening so soon.
I saw it coming just based off how many teams I had falling way short of what I'm sure they expected. I'm chilling, my team is on pace for 60+ wins but a lot of guys gave up contracts that already look terrible and don't have the Ws to show for it.
