Embiid is Shaq in BAF. Absolutely dominant.

Perfect storm when we started BAF.
- Beal was a talented injury prone player who blossomed into a stud.
- Holiday was also a talented player who was injury prone and if I remember correctly was coming off a leave of absence.
- Both compliment Giannis perfectly.

Giannis was one of the first players that popped out, and most of us had no clue what we were doing at the start. Holiday was a true buy low because it was after his wife's related absence and a past injury. Beal came out at the end of CJ's bid, and he had a bad injury rep.


Shoutout to Deez tho. Always a top level BBIQ head on these forums.

Wasn't Giannis like one of the first guys released in the initial draft? I remember going to sleep one night and waking up and not even being able to put a bid in he was already gone. It was a feeling out process at first then things just started getting crazy with bids

Nah F Deez and F the Mavs... I mean sure he built a great team that I'm very upset and jealous with.

We have a series folks. Portland handled their Biz at home. Now it’s our turn. All these 2-2 series are good for the league. I’m sure the fans are entertained.

Thank you Mike Conley for helping keep our momentum going in the right direction. Made some short term sacrifices this season to open up better options down the road and keep my franchise open to improvement and not get stuck and we did that while also staying competitive in the Wild West.

It was a great ride and we had fun throughout this whole year. Now it's time to hand the keys to some of the younger guys, make some offseason adjustments and get ready to do it all again. Denver we just getting started!


Thanks man. I know your team will be back strong especially with some sim upgrades.

I think Deeeez beat my bid. Shoulda gone higher. Deeeez built an absolute juggernaut.

Thanks man. The bidding period was crazy. I'm not even sure what was going on the first few days, but got lucky with Giannis. It made everything easier.

Congrats Denver on a very good season, tbh i did not see you making the playoffs after our trade. I thought i was walking away with a steal with Vuceivic and Fournier given lack of real world production in Buddy and Prince, but obviously you had things lined up where you put together a great team and flexibility going forward. Let alone trading Kemba. great work. My vote for GM of the year will either go to you or Atlanta and its kind of funny that you guys pulled off a trade together that I kind of will base my decision on.

also i forgot earlier congrats to Minny on a great season as well, not easy to make the playoffs in a tough western conference. Excited to see what you have in store as i know you are an active GM

tbh i am now questioning whether i should of traded him Vuceivic for Bogs instead of JV, such an underrated trade given his defensive rating.

JV is that dude in the SIM. I would’ve kept him if I didn’t already have Ayton and Bam. Surprisingly not much people were interested in him when I put him on the block. Hoffa was really the only one who wanted him

Thanks Hoffa! Appreciate it man. Unfortunately that Hawks trade kinda screwed you over a little bit since it helped them make that playoff push which eventually ended up costing you a spot but in the long run you built a really nice core together that is going to be tough to deal with going forward. You got a bunch of guys that should be getting SIM bumps next year, I'm not sleeping on that squad one bit.
