With a high 2025 pick on deck?

Really solid draft class. Yves is a beast, Bub looks solid, and AJ has shown he’s got some juice early in his NBA career.

Hopefully they can develop in Washington and allow those two guards to grow together!

I needed it. 2023 was a bad year for me.

Yeah Wizards got a mob. They basically OKC East going foward. The GM studied under Presti and has a good eye as well. Add to the fact they in running for the Number 1 pick and the wizards will be a prob soon.

I dont care how successful the Knicks are. This is the kind of rebuild I wanted to happen for us from the jump.

The Toronto Raptors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers for a 109-82 blowout win at home, at Scotiabank Arena in Ontario, Canada.

A suffocating defense and balanced scoring attack, led by Collin Sexton and Amen Thompson, secured the victory with six players scoring in double figures.

Toronto’s record improves to 57-16, atop the Atlantic Division by 4 games (with 9 left to play) and the occupying the Eastern Conference’s 2nd seed. The Raptors are inching closer to a milestone 60-win mark, which would be a franchise record, and also seeking to clinch the Atlantic Division title for the 2nd straight season.

A team that has Giddey, Tatum, Wagner, Bam and Simons as the 6th man can’t even compete with the best is nasty work by the sim :noway:

one day recently I simmed my team on nba 2K25 to see if I was bugging and we won like 55 games with ease. Wolverine studios gotta get with the times cause whatever they using to rate players is mad outdated.

Step 2 would be to run it back if you win the chip imo. That’s what I did and I got to the finals again at least.

There's no scenario where I can run it back due to this summer's finances (Brook and several others expire so I have SGA $$$).
