Good game Dot. Glad we were able to contain that talented young core of yours.

Glad to be among the final four standing. Truly an elite group of GM's in HerSports85, Deeeez, and Smash.

I like what you’ve built. Very well-balanced squad.

I need to acquire an IRL Hawks player so I can trade with Buzz

I love Huerter for Denver. Despite all the talk surrounding Kyrie, there's no reason for the developers to mess with his actual SIM ratings. I predict Denver will go deep in the playoffs assuming there are no significant injuries. So much firepower offensively, and some absolute dogs defensively in Vando, Caruso, and GP.

The Indiana Pacers would like to welcome Onyeka Okongwu and Christian Koloko to the Ministers of Defense!

I have been waiting on these hammers to drop for weeks. I honestly think I am at a stopping point big man wise and defensively. Now I am searching for a 3rd scoring wheel to play along side Trae and Siakam...

Good trading with you Heizi and Terrence.

PG - Ice Trae/TJ McConnell/George Hill
SG - Joe Harris/Grayson Allen/Luke Kennard
SF - Mikal Bridges/Isaac Okoro
PF - Draymond Green/De'Andre Hunter/Trey Lyles
C - Pascal Siakam/Onyeka Okongwu/Christian Koloko

Such much great shooting and defensive abilities on this team. Will Trae and Pascal be enough to carry them offensively? SIM will decide. Definitely a fun team that I'd watch IRL. Good luck Buzz.

Appreciate it bro! Tough to predict anything especially in the always competitive Western Conference. A bunch of stacked teams

Been waiting weeks for this to become official. Finally!

I like Huerter a lot and his contract is a good one. Unfortunately in this league if you want someone good in return you have to send someone good.

Okongwu is a solid prospect and he filled a big gap in my lineup. Watch out for Koloko also. He could lead the league in blocks one season in the near future.

[Deeeez Knicks]

Good game Hoffa.

Giannis is a 2k cheat code.

I love the fit of both players for you. Koloko was a sneaky good pickup

It’s so hard to replicate Jokics impact. I think I got bounced out early last year with Jokic.

But at least the sim caught up especially with the Curry/Etc pairings which is a perfect fit.

I took Jovic in the late lottery and the Heat took him in the late 1st round. The Heat draft great prospects and its hard to argue with their scouting department. I still like Jovic's potential but Koloko grew on me as the early season got underway.

[TerrenceClarke]

Koloko is mad nice for a rookie big.I know you might have been nervous Buzz that I might pull out . I was hoping Jovic stayed low since we had to wait so long lol. Koloko is already starting for the Raps, that says alot. I like Jovic being on the heat.... odds are he develops nicely. I love DPS players and my PF situation is ugly.

[E-Balla]

Ight I'm back back. Things getting better, having more time to take.

Jovic was a luxury for my team. Koloko was more of a need. If I'd been set at center, holding on to a solid stretch four prospect was not a problem.

They both got drafted by teams that know how to scout. No doubt about it.

yup, 2K just values ISO big ball handlers. The CPU in 2K isn't running offense through the post consistently or running plays to get movement shooters like Bane/MPJ open looks (they just sit in a corner) I love watching my team in that setting though and appreciate Smash and Melo and everyone that has spent all those hours running it regardless of the outcome.

But that is why I love the SIM so much more realistic in terms of the offense you envision and can get carried out.

Yes. I really appreciate the work they put in for this but my builds always flame out.

which is interesting because SGA is one of the best Isolation scorers in the NBA. You think you would get a little more respect. But Gobert impact in 2K just doesn't seem to get the value. Most bigs don't...its just not how people play 2K...its all guards/wings and P&R.

[wackbone]

Legit thought Paolo would end up the better player than Chet, but Chet just completely fit the profile for what the SIM loves. Could've had Paolo/Murray/Mathurin, but I thought too much about the SIM...
