Lol it is pretty stress free but I’m talking about potential trade up options or guys I can snag in the 2nd round which I currently have 3 of the top 5 2nd round picks. Don’t need “my guys” getting more buzz than they need

I think the back half of this lottery is iffy as heck. Half will be plausible starters or better; then the other half will be role players to bust.

Definitely not last years class. That class was deep and tons of potential. I do think there are some potential gems and it is a bit underrated overall

Congrats to Cleveland and San Antonio on advancing to the Finals!
To my man Smash, hold your head high. You are one of the best GMs to ever do it and I know you’ll be building A PROBLEM this off-season once you get to work.
No one else worth a mention.

Re: Build a Franchise Discussion Thread (Season 5)
Absolute blood bath of a series. Wouldn't have expected anything less from a matchup vs the only 2 +70 win teams in the history of BAF. The punches and counterpunches. Kudos to Smash for building a power house and just seemed like HC advantage reigned supreme with me being able to sneak out 1 road victory in the slimmest of margins.
Durant a freakin animal. The best player in the SIM, nothing I tried slowed him down all series. And the rest of that roster is just built so well. Hell of a run Smash.
Congrats to CLE on b2b Finals appearances...looking forward to that battle!

Appreciate you bro, we can only control what we can control and that is building great teams. Time to enter what will probably be the best off season for a lot of teams – clean slate for everyone.

What a series! MP your Spurs were built tough as *****, we had double digit leads every game in San Antonio but your Spurs clawed their way back every time. Then they won a game 6 on the road with 1-point – damn. Congrats on making it out the wild wild west.

Re: Build a Franchise Discussion Thread (Season 5)
To the city of Portland and Blazers fans:
I know Rip City was hoping the Blazers would finally hoist the Larry O'Brien trophy this season, so this is a disappointing end. However what we've accomplished and built here over the years was no easy feat.
- All time regular season BAF win-loss record
- BAF finals appearance
- Tied (3) for most conference finals appearances
- Five straight playoff appearances
- Historic 70-win season
- Longest regular season winning streak
With that being said we have to give a shout out to the competition in BAF. There's a reason we have had four different champions in four years, the group of GMs we have in BAF always bring their A-game and the parity is something else. Most importantly this great game wouldn't have been possible without our great commissioner Bishnykfan, so again I just have to mention how we appreciate your time and effort in running BAF.
We've seen the trophy slip away from us one too many times, but to the city of Portland.... With the new group of Blazers we will be signing in the off season, I expect us to be back here same time next year with a different outcome.
Your GM,
