Build a Franchise (Season 6)- Discussion Thread continued

Chet/KP/Kessler might be the best big rotation in the East now. If Wack had wing depth that'd be a top 3 squad in the Conference.

Strick... Hmm... I'm more conflicted here. I'm happy because the move makes him worse right now but Banchero/Isaac/Sengun now has no real weakness. Their efficiency will be low, but not for long. FVV handicapping them is my only hope.

Utah is interesting. Ben-Mikal-OG-JJJ-WCJ is going to be the scariest defense in the sim next year along with MPH. Won't matter as much for this season but that's going to be horrible to play against. The one saving grace is that offensively the team is really weak now. Still being the master of one is very valuable in the sim.

Golden State, tbh I can't really judge the moves. NewEra will basically rotate players nonstop until the deadline. Right now the fit isn't the best. There's a lot of drive and kick players but Klay is the only real shooting threat. Still Zion has a long term clock and NewEra will find a way to compete if he's going to do anything.

Also Lonzo Ball is on the block. I need to improve swiftly and he's the best asset I have that isn't totally undervalued by everyone else. Harrell is on the block too for any contenders if you want a 65+ TS%, 20 PPG guy. Just remember he's out till March. I figure I might as well shop him now that I got Thomas Bryant to replace him even if he's better for now.

Not even an exaggeration, Joe may be the best shooter in the league right now. He’s been absolutely lighting it up since coming over to OKC. That 1/4 is looking mighty nice :nod:

Yooo this man Giddey had 22 assists to beat the Clips in OT. Y’all better start talking about the Cavs again lol. Don’t underestimate the heart of a champ.

You’ve done an outstanding job! Plenty basketball left. That team will make the playoffs imo.

Embiid unleashed! Miami upsets the Blazers.

No turning back now.

What are the odds Lyles drops 20 off the bench :noway:

Man HerSports has really unlocked Jamal Murray. I remember when I thought I had a chance at having a lot to pick lol. Good job improving the squad.

And Giddey had 21/4/22 in an OT win and couldn't get player of the game? The sim overvalues scoring a lot.

Embiid and Fox had a combined 76/23/20. Harden, PG13, and Lebron had 71/15/17.

And last but not least good game Wack. Kessler was cooking off the bench but we held the lead all game thanks to CP3 and his 20/10, 7 steal night.

We're now 9-1 since trading for CP3. He's averaging 17.8/11.4/2.4 steals so far for us (in 29.6 MPG). Even with injuries to Lonzo and Harrell in this stretch the team is scoring 125 ppg and only allowing 105 ppg. Yes you read that right we are +20 with CP3 on the roster. CP3, McDaniels, and Iguodala have given me a top 5 defense to go with our top 2 offense.

Edit: Just checked and Jarrett Allen is averaging 29.4 ppg on 74.2 TS% since we got CP3. Moses 2.0 is an understatement.
