May not turn out bad for you anyway but definitely delayed results.

The T-pups have some serious signs of encouragement with their young core

Fox: 26 PPG | 6 REB | 4.5 AST

SenGOON: 17 PPG | 10 REB | 2 AST (will certainly rise)

Banchero: 23 PPG | 8.5 REB | 3.5 AST

:o

Add that with some really nice moments from guys like Isaiah Jackson, Rui, Coby, and Davion Mitchell. Some young guys who have flashed when given an opportunity: Jalen Johnson, McGowens, and Jabari Walker

That being said definitely need to build out the wing talent pool. The rebuild has been a blast :nod:

DOT has one of the best young trios in Keldon Johnson, Mitchell and Garland.

I'll send you either Mikal or Siakam plus you pick the fillers from my player pool and picks for Banchero. In other words, if you want to speed up your rebuild and wing talent pool come to me first :lol:

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

I need to acquire an IRL Hawks player so I can trade with Buzz 8-)

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.

Hint: I like Collins, Capela, and Murray also....grabbing a Raptors player might help also :lol:

Well, I think Fat said when he acquired them that Collins and Capela could be on the block when eligible. Murray, though was untouchable last season heading into free agency. Now that he is signed long-term, I just can't envision him leaving Orlando. Not that multiple people haven't already asked.

I have several players on my radar for scoring help. Unfortunately most of them, if not all, cannot be moved until January. I think I am pretty much done and its time to take a look at the ratings. Then see if my hodgepodge of talent wrapped around Trae and Siakam can threaten the top 4 in the East.

Yeah with such a high percentage of players not movable to January combined with the fact that so many teams are over the cap, straight two team deals between two capped teams are going to be extremely difficult. Teams that still have cap room will be needed to be brought in and compensated to make most deals work. BAF trade wires are never quiet but there is likely going to be a lot less noise than normal.

I've been waiting for one of the guys who bought the game last year to start leaking the beta rankings. They don't typically change much after that (a handful of guys gain or lose 1/2 star but nothing dramatic). I guess no one has bought it this year or are keeping the info to themselves for now :)

I bought the game a few days ago and will probably look to get into it for the first time this weekend. Maybe I’ll drop the five star guys right before smash runs the championship game.

Once the bubble tourney is over, I’ll put our annual preseason rankings post out in which teams can rank teams 1-29. Give everyone a week or two to submit those rankings.

Right now, I’m guessing we’ll have opening night sometime the week after Thanksgiving.

All we ask of Big Nick Energy at starting C is shotblocking, rebounding, and efficient scoring in the paint as a rim runner, roll man, and offensive putbacker.

Very streamlined role we think he will function in considering his projected SIM attributes.

Allows us to bring Wood off the bench to strengthen our 2nd unit.

I might have one too many wing players out of the rotation. Could look to move a guy like Connaughton and or Amir Coffey. I’m looking for a forward at the 3/4 or 4/5 spot
