Build a Franchise Discussion Thread (Season 6)- Announcement on page 71- Tuesday- Opening Night

Yeah I'll be honest I already regret the small changes I made to my ranking. Thinking of just telling bish to ignore them and stick with my OG ratings but I'll wait for the ratings to drop to give my predictions on the season. I'll do another 0-10 scale rating of teams after the ratings are out, this time for the whole league instead of just a few teams in the West.

New Era is probably the player who's ratings I'm watching most. MPH will be elite no matter what but depending on how high Embiid is rated and whether or not Randle is terrible on defense New Era could easily be at 60+ wins or in the low 50s.

[Capn'O]

Half of New Era's roster is already traded so I wouldn't worry too much about that.

They’re all still here bro lol. They’ll get a fair shot of performing to standard. If not, everyone besides Embiid should be worried. I can’t take losing.

That's even worse because even when he loses a trade he wins it lmao.

Easily the best GM in the game, I'm happy he's not in my division. Y'all talk about me hacking the sim, New Era is the guy that always wins 50+ games with absolutely wild rosters.

[HEZI]

About to start on the ratings on this rainy late morning

Never had less than a 50 win season in all my years of BaF. Don’t expect that to change. If these cats don’t perform, I’m making moves as I usually do. I expect Randles overall to take a dip, but he’ll be a great sixth man. With this team, our assist numbers will be huge to success.

It was literally my PR comment on your team. I'm sure you'll take some time to tinker.

[HerSports85]

Expectations for my roster

Kawhi - 4.5/ 5 stars
Adams - 90+ OREB rating. Best in the sim
Isaac - 90+ defense
Conley - I have no idea.
CJ - he’s always steady. 3.5-4 stars. His defense is questionable but his offense improved from last year. He can dominate games by himself in the sim

[NewEra]

E-Balla always seems to get the most out of sim. (See Moses Brown). Very curious to watch his most recent theories unfold. Lol

You’re not wrong. I’m big on roles and put this team together to compliment each other, but I’ve definitely put some feelers out there just in case. I like my front court of Embiid, McDaniels and Barnes. CP3/Trent backcourt could be better defensively, but maybe sim will slide me one of them nice little “slightly inaccurate” def ratings Former BaF 6MoY Julius scoring off the bench should not be bad.

CJ is super reliable in sim.

Yeah he was amazing when Embiid went down. Thank you for sending him back home lol

Isaac might not be that guy. IDK I'm just very cautious on the injured guys after what I went through with TJ Warren.

Also Conley will be amazing at least expect 14-16 ppg with a top 10 3 point rating and 70+ defense.

[Smash3]

Ok more info for my ranking.


Spurs.... not enough five stars players.

All you need to know is the top 5 are Hoffa, Melo, New Era, MPH, and me and your ratings are gucci. Y'all don't wanna sleep on OKC again when we probably have the best offense in the league.

[E-Balla]

E-Balla always seems to get the most out of sim. (See Moses Brown). Very curious to watch his most recent theories unfold. Lol

This year my plan is a lot more foolproof at least offensively. Much more talent so I can simplify the strats more:

I'm expecting:

DeMar - 4.5/5
Allen - 4
Kemba - 3
Hami - 3
Harrell - 3
Holmes - 2.5/3

With a dual PG backcourt and DeMar I can get both Holmes and Allen over 20 PPG on 65+ TS% for the same reason I got 26 ppg out of Moses without tanking his efficiency. If teams want to play passive on defense to stop that Lonzo (who's been one of the best shooters in the game and shot 42% from deep last year) and Kemba (who was 63% from the corner in a small sample size so I'm expecting sim effery to have him over 40%) should be able to up their shooting to win games.

The defense is my biggest issue. Derrick Jones will hopefully be a high efficiency defender at PF.

Thanks again for the franchise cornerstone Smash. You gave me the ability to engage in some extremely problematic behavior.

I'm calling it now Allen 2nd team all NBA.

The damage you'll do with Allen will be crazy no doubt, but the way we do things in Portland is a new squad every off season.

Portland ready to give DeRozan flashbacks to:



era though

[Smash3]

At the end of the day though I don't think the star ratings are that important, what is important is how you've built your team, the fit and individual player ratings.
