Build a Franchise (Season 5)- Discussion thread

I got my power rankings in finally. I probably got way different rankings than most. Biggest shock? I got the Mavs taking the West.

I got my power rankings in finally. I probably got way different rankings than most. Biggest shock? I got the Mavs taking the West.

I honestly don't see that as a shock. I think Portland and Dallas are clear favorites, and most GMs will have one of them coming out the Western Conference while Cleveland maintains their spot as favorite in the East. But anything can happen.

IT'S LIT IN THE STREETS OF SAN FRAN!!
YOUR 2021 BUBBLE CHAMPS, THE GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS BABY!!

"We went into this game as the underdogs, but our guys were locked in and played like the champs they are. Now our fans have a celebration on their hands. We're very excited about that" - Coach Kerr

While we're very happy to win our first bubble chip, there's one thing that keeps me up at night and it's bringing another BAF chip to our city. That's the goal now, and we'll do what ever it takes to get there! - Warriors GM, NewEra

To all those who congratulated, and wished us well:

Going into the power rankings I thought the Pels, Clippers, and Portland were all better.

If that's not an upset though how about not having Hoffa top 10 even with Edward's breakout and Buddy returning back to form most likely being in the sim?

lol I like Charlotte's team though. Morant's a bad man. Edwards is a bad man. Capela is solid and will get love in Sim. I also like Thybulle quite a bit. Add Ingram, etc and they'll make noise for sure. They were a playoff team for a reason. Plus Ja has taken his game to the next level. John Wall signing was probably a mistake, but the sim will ultimately be the judge of that. Off top of my head I think they're top ten, but I haven't done my rankings yet so we'll see where they fall.

FWIW in real life I think your team would be great.

Sleep on KD if y’all want, but we easily got the best player in the league.

Is SenGOON the greatest player ever?

On a serious note, him only getting like 20 mins a game is a travesty

Mobley's the greatest player ever but you got a steal in Sengun!

Mobley is a monster. Cleveland has some fun pieces (K-Dot as well).

I want to see Sengun with 25-30 mins per game minimum for a stretch to see what he can do. Defense is the most shocking though… I thought he was going to get cooked on a regular basis

Agreed. It's very surprising. Like Mobley, he's very efficient with his movements but he's not as athletic.

You hit a home run on that pick bro. He’s a special player with exceptional toughness who can do just about everything out there.

Now you just need to waive all those vets you have so a contender can pick them up. Word on the street is they’re not trying to be a part of a rebuild and it’s causing negative vibes in the locker room. That can’t be good for your young studs

Congrats on the 2K chip NE

[HEZI]

I go to pick a guy off the waiver wire and OF COURSE Hezi has him...

Banton?

Spoiler:

Glad I swooped in on him early

How the hell you found him? I thought he was one of those random training camp dudes, impressive

West?

Mobley's the greatest player ever

I still see Green as having the highest potential long term, but Mobley's the real deal.
