I don't know who's defense is worse Golden States or Utah's?

Utah, we're not even going to try and play defense. If Harden can make an all defensive team here, we can be an average defensive team maybe... ok not really but anything is possible.

I **** up the joke. It was suppose to be Golden States. I thought NE was portland for some reason.

The joke was suppose to be his one player is probably has a better chance at playing defense than your 5.

Lol I’d love for Pooch to name my defensive strategy at this time. I’m sure it would be pure comedy.

With the sim you never know what’s gonna happen, but I didn’t see Lauri being traded two or three times. I get it he had a down season, but 14/7 at 23 yrs old on a team that lacks vision irl, I’m wondering what people are expecting from him this early.

Traded for Jonas and then Love, it's not like he's getting the Bol Bol treatment. Teams obviously still love what he brings. For that Bulls team though, I do see Lavine and White becoming the alphas of that team, Lauri is going to get regulated to a luxury role player to a degree. But he's had back to back years now of some injuries, Carter Jr will be coming back, I could see him putting up similar numbers to this year.

You don’t like Brogdan/KD pairing?

[Slicin N Dicin]

I didn’t like it for you. It’s probably because I had Love in year one of this game and he frustrated the crap out of me. I just feel he’s on the decline and injury prone. I would’ve just kept Lauri, but I’m assuming you shopped him and didn’t get a bette offer? Love could turn out to be a sim beast for a bit, but the window is very small imo.

Perfect example of me trying to build a team for this sim. Love is coming off a season in which he played 77 games, so I don't think he'll be injury prone in the sim. Didn't even shop Lauri, just loved the fit with Love as my center. He played next to Horford with the Bucks, for us all the rebounds will belong to him. I think we've all had experience in which we couldn't get a something out of player, for me it's been Gallo, Fournier, Hield etc. I'm not expecting him to be a walking 20-10, just way to much firepower now for some teams and I'm completely abandoning defense.

I love having a lineup in which all five can dribble, pass, shoot and hit the three. Just missing the final piece now.

I did the Love deal only because of the Adams deal. Think Lauri is a better fit next to Adams than Love..and I like Smart and the savings I got from that trade to absorb Adams for the pick. Lauri trade got me some extra roster spots filled up and now I can use that $250+ to get some solid free agents

Oh ok. Yea Smash got a far cheaper replacement for Kyrie and avoids the bidding wars for a pg in free agency. Wonder where Wall goes now.

And then you owe Smash my friend haha, since I could only do Adams with the savings from the Brogdon/Smart deal

Wall would look real good in Milwaukee, could further moves be in the picture?

You already know where Wall is going. People think I am playing.

All the posturing and positioning to bid on my bird guys. Well, I'm taking a major free agent off the market.

[NewEra]

Who are the 5?

philly, indy, bklyn, bulls, cavs

The disrespect continues...

To be fair the other teams have yet to prove they’re better than the ones he mentioned in the sim. I do think things may change though. Watching y’all dog it out in the East is one of my biggest anticipations.

He’d be a phenomenal pick up for you with that EL situation, but it’s gonna suck when Cousins signs a deal and you have to drop him.

Toronto will earn the respect of it's peers soon enough. The only 3.5 GMs who've shown respect are Cleveland, Denver, San Antonio, and Charlotte <--- (0.5 via fear).

Well, if Boogie ultimately signs, at least whoever was smart enough to save their money will be the one to get Wall at a discount deal if/when I drop him.

2010 hearing more Toronto slander...

Well if you can do what no one in BAF history has done and win with LeBron you’ll go down as a legend. It’s not impossible, but you just happen to be in a very difficult conference for the remainder of his contract. It will be challenging for sure.

Lol I don’t think anyone is slandering Toronto, but how can you ignore what’s suddenly happening in the East? Dame/Embiid & Co, Murray/Tatum & Co, Luka & Stars, just to name a few. Nothing is impossible, but it will be extremely challenging. If 2010 pulls this off, he’s a BAF legend.
