I think Shaq/Hali is defensively exploitable.

The team is awesome offensively though.

Pleased with the Luka build though there are some strong teams.

Why did things continue after hornets made an invalid pick?

Hornets, Alex Caruso was taken in round 1.

I am in a terrible slump.

Hopefully this team is viewed better than past ones made.

Pre-prime Haliburton is interesting.

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Man the clock gets confusing to figure out when multiple people miss their deadline.

I THINK I'm up in an hour if Ness doesn't show?

I am excited about my team, probably the most excited since my first game.

SGA/Roy/AD/Walton is an incredibly strong Top 4 in this game, with good playmaking/passing with enough shooting to open up the court for SGA. Unlike the current Thunder, who have to settle for Jalen Williams isolations, we get to run our secondary offensive actions through Brandon Roy, one of the best guards of the 2000s, and Bill Walton, who won a championship with a Pivot-Post offense similar to a heliocentric system around Walton's passing ability.

SGA/AD Pick and Roll is going to be more deadly than SGA/Chet, even missing out on the pick-and-pop 3P game, AD still has a Pick and Pop and is a far more devastating rim-runner than Chet.

To bolster our Big 4, Caruso/Herb will run wild defensively, wreaking havoc. The players in this game seem to love Delon Wright, and we saw glimpses of what he can do in low minutes as a high-energy bench piece in the Knicks/Pacers series.

Tony Snell can knock-down the Corner 3 as good as anyone, with enough playmaking and defenders on the roster to mitigate his weaknesses as a putrid basketball player.
