*Phew*

One thing no one can ever do is question my love and loyalty to Amen Thompson.

Spoiler:
Image


Just had the most intense, tempting trade negotiations in the history of my BaF GM career.

I’d be lying if I said my commitment to Amen wasn’t tested. But in the end, I couldn’t part with the player who epitomizes what Raptors basketball has come to be, and is all about.

Spoiler:
Amen Thompson | Toronto Raptors

Why'd I have to just realize that was almost my end of the Gobert trade that didn't happen. I don't know if I would have gone for him though. I didn't trust that overtime league.

Above all else, I always trust my eyes and what they see, as opposed to the league or entity the player is coming out of. It was glaringly obvious to me Amen was talented and had things you just can’t teach (elite functional athleticism, vision, feel for the game, a motor, etc.)

The irony is I sent a trade proposition to you this week, but erased it.

You feel like being tested again?

Yeah I got him last week. Got Isaiah Joe too, I traded the majority of my youth for them.
The Utah Jazz have agreed to trade Franz Wagner, Bobi Klintman, Isaiah Joe, Filip Petrusev, Craig Porter and Landry Shamet to the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Isaiah Collier, Trayce Jackson-Davis, Austin Reaves, Toumani Camara, Isaiah Wong, Keon Ellis and a 2027 1st round draft pick.

Still looking to make some last minute deals. I will likely have very limited to no access after tomorrow, so essentially, my trade deadline is tomorrow.

Open to listening about Rui Hachimura. Currently a 6 man of the year candidate in the SIM. Avg 16.1 ppg in 24 mins on 55/41 shooting splits. Have him locked for a 2nd year as well and he's having another similar EFF year in real life to last year.

Just gauging the market to see if there is a better fit or someone I like. But if you need a SF/PF scoring option I am willing to listen.

Aaron Nesmith/Josh Hart/Jaime Jaquez

Steph Curry/Chris Paul/Jase Richardson
