To me making the best out of minimal assets makes you the best and you have that done hands down. Hell you're the only person where you consistently win trades and make something out of nothing. MPH is more of an asset piler with an eye for cap management which is great but requires a lot of losing for asset gathering. You and Smash are more Spurs like in your approach to the sim.
Caveat - I was really really bad for one year and that pick landed me James Wiseman (the years surrounding that I made the playoffs). I think I set my future off by selling AD at the right time. That set me off in the right direction. But I won 50 games the year after with basically my all rookie team. I think it helped me get a further idea of what players the SIM liked and it helped me in the future winning 50 games with that roster.
There are a lot of great GM's out there would uncomfortable crowning one specific guy/girl as the best. But I would contest anyone saying I built my roster through losing. It was more timely trades if anything.
My bad MPH. Either way you're right, it takes talent to build a good squad. You either have to coach your ass off or know how to get talent in a league full of people that want to beat you.
All that said I understand you're uncomfortable crowning one person, but NewEra is by far the most annoying of all of you. In a good way lol. I never think I'll beat his squad when we play it just happens sometimes.

Mph shouldnt have kept both Curry and Jokic thats all there is. I didnt go for Curry thinking he would be a popular target, never assume things!

Ah shyt that’s ridiculous
I just learned this today too. It's unreasonable. DaGawd - get your **** together and stop this train!
He was able to accumulate all that talent via trades and nobody was able to get that Wizards pick from him? Sheesh

your thinking of a different trade. Wiseman didn't go for Curry.
I wasn't expecting to bring them both back. Jokic because of age and his dominance last couple years in real life was the guy I wasn't going to lose after trading a lot to get him. Curry I was expecting to lose and sent in what I was expecting to be a bid beat but it never was. I was fully expecting to pivot to a lesser guard and let Haliburton run more of the point.

That team would have been scary too anyway if you kept Hali, with top pick coming in

I’m not excusing the return. More so the decision to trade Joker, who at the time was not performing in the sim relative to his IRL performance. Just ask Manhattan Project.

The Wiseman rookie year was some of the biggest BS I've ever seen in BAF

My plan B was if I missed out on Curry to resign Bridges and sign a lesser guard like Jrue Holiday. But I don't think I would have went north of $200 for bridges so Buzz got his man. Worked out well for me. Maybe some people were concerned the SIM wasn't going to rate Curry well (which it didn't). I was hoping with a quick start to this year they would give Curry his 5 star back but they kept him at 4 off of his worst year of his career even though he killed it in the post season.

It absolutely was. Up there with Whiteside and Moses Brown.
