I purchased the early release of the sim which is now going through their final beta testing. It looks like they are on the same timeline as the past few years which would put us on track to start in about a month. Of course there will be no NBA evaluating of this years rookie class for the sim so I'm not sure how they will be rated but it's all good news so far from the developer.
Also, wanted to remind everyone that there are currently three teams that do not fulfill the minimum roster size. Before the season starts, each team must have a minimum of 13 players on their roster.
Saturday is the deadline.

Brooklyn can't be discounted either. They will have 2 5-star players in the SIM. Probably the best 1-2 combo in the game SIM wise.
That's true, but I'm not a big fan of their supporting cast and with how deep Chicago is now I can see them beating Brooklyn.

I wonder how the SIM will treat oladipo...he had a really bad year for his standards.

Yeah, we’ll see. Luckily, he’s my 4th best player so I’m not relying on him a ton this year.

I’m def down to run point Bam vs point Jokic when we play each other. It should be cool to see who wins the duel lol

With him at C and PF I was never at the bottom of the barrel on defense and that was with Russell starting. Jokic defense in the sim is certainly not a problem, him shooting the damn ball however...

Charlotte could carry more than $50 million of cap space into the 2021 offseason. That is a recipe for bad decisions.
