Re: Build a Franchise (Season 5) Final offseason thread
Man OKC was in such a hole when I got here. Made a bunch of moves I'd like back while I was adjusting but it's nice to have a solid squad that can get into the postseason and maybe take a round or two depending on how the SIM rates my guys.
Plus my future cap situation isn't completely screwed like when I first showed up and had Blake and Otto Porter on the roster.

I may have to move Zion or Luka next if the start of 2021 season is rough.

If that’s the case, I think the whole damn league is hoping the start of your season is rough.

You think I am kidding but I am not. I took a hard look at Charlottes lineup when he announced Morant and two picks being available. I will see how the season shakes loose; but no one is untouchable on my team.

Zion

Take whatever you want. Even cash considerations, I'll take the tampering charge.

I say we trade Giannis, Steph, Embiid, etc. to whoever is up against Buzzard on game night. Let's get it cracking.

I like the Kings depth in a way. CP3 and Brown are a solid guard duo; then they have shooting for days. Its going to come down to if Adams, Lopez, and Zubec are enough to hold the paint down.

Don’t sleep. Their defense is crazy! That team is big, can play elite defense, tough, has shooters, and a leader in CP3. They very deep too.
I really like that squad. Especially for the rigors of the regular season.

I really believed in Winslow after 2018-2019 but then he imploded.
