Re: Build a Franchise Discussion- Season 3 Announcement on page 41
Hats off to EZ. EZ has has been a quiet BAT OG since the beginning. I believe he's the longest-tenured BAT member sans myself and swiss. + he did a sneaky good job building a young and fun core. Ball/CJ/Turner was my vision 3 years ago, lol. Happy he made them work.
However, lemme flex real quick. BACK TO BACK ECF. Shoutout to the Stanimal. I got him cost-controlled for like 2 more years, lol. What a beast. Kept the minutes low all season so I can unlock him when it counted.

Congrats Mecca and BK. Didn’t expect this team to take it this far. With some minor tweaks this off-season hope to be back in the same position next year. Shoutout to the SIM for putting in a valiant effort this year lol.

That Stanimal glitch is gonna be fixed next BaF season. They rated him a 100 jumper. No way that happens again.

You never know. These dudes are bozos with their ratings. Simmons a 60 defender in this. He's a 90+ IRL

great run man. Even though I am impartial kinda glad CHI got the W just for the fact you will have your day in the near future and some of these teams it might be there last shot before INDY runs rough shot throughout the East for the next 3-5 years.

Re: Build a Franchise Discussion- Season 3 Announcement on page 41
warriors bench just was too much. 66 pts off there bench in a pivotal game 7
I was a perfect 4 for 4 in predicting the semi finals. Add in 7-8 in the first round.
11-12 in my predictions so far.

Re: Build a Franchise Discussion- Season 3 Announcement on page 41
If anything, these three game 7's today proved the importance of homecourt advantage.

Depth and homecourt advantage being decisive factors in the SIM playoffs...
Who could have imagined that, right?

What KOC has done in Indy is unreal. Kudos to you sir. That Markkanen for Mitchell trade was the beginning of what looks to be dynasty-level proportions.

Re: Build a Franchise Discussion- Season 3 BaF Draft Lottery- Tuesday
ANNOUNCEMENT
Congratulations to the final four teams remaining. The Conference Finals will begin tomorrow. Please have all updated rotations and minutes in before noon tomorrow.
Also, preparations for the draft and free agency are underway.
Draft: All ties in draft order will be broken tomorrow. This affects original (pre-lottery) draft position. Ties which will be broken tomorrow include (Milwaukee/New York Phoenix/Charlotte/Orlando Denver/Philadelphia)
The draft lottery will take place on Tuesday night in between game three of the EC Final and game three of the WC Final.
Free Agency: For any new GM, a quick reminder on how free agency works. Teams are rated on four metrics (1. team success- based on a three year average 2. Superstar player already on team 3. Overall player happiness with organization 4. Age/Future of roster)
Those rankings will be released over the next few weeks in preparation for our summer free agency. Obviously our calendar will be effected by the actual NBA calendar for both free agency and the draft. If the actual NBA season does not end until August-September that will push back our timeline for the draft and free agency as well. As soon as I know more, I will let everyone know what the plan will be for our summer and moving forward.
Any questions, as always, PM me.
