He is a solid in the SIM. Should fit nicely with Doncic, provided Doncic wants to feed his new big man.

I never made any such claims, but I did point out the numbers he was putting up at the time when he was playing full time filling in for AD's injury which in the small sample at the time were beastly. I don't know if you'll call him a beast but he should average close to a double double playing full time..I definitely feel he's a nice upgrade in the middle for you. I had one too many pure centers with Drummond and Nurkic especially since the sim tanks Anthony Davis' stats if I try to use him at PF. For some reason the sim prefers Nurkic at PF instead of the guy that's actually played the position a good part of his IRL games. Maybe they foresaw Nurks' 3pt emergence (over 40% on 2.2 attempts per game).
Would have kept Drummond but wanted some guys with actual NBA experience at the 4.

One of the best trades that is glossed over. Better than Lauri imo.

Can’t wait to see lineups/rotations updated and posted tomorrow. Should really bring some clarity for the next wave of trades as potential deal partners will become more apparent for those looking for that final move to put them over the top.

Thank you
I gave fatboy a pretty big haul but I felt like Giddey was worth it. We starting to see Giddey’s potential lately. Looking like the modern day Kidd

I remember during his IRL draft when I was telling you Giddey was the truth and you was skeptical of his PG position effectiveness, saying he remind you more of Kyle like a forward who can facilitate. You came around now!

Yea I’m eating crow. His vision crazy and now he made a leap as a scorer. He looking big time now
The SIM got him listed as a SF smh but his passing rating is a 70 so I’m bout to see if I can unlock him at point

Point is his best position but he's a terrible player for the sim right now. His efficiency needs to rise a lot but he's still young and on a great contract.

In the East Broooklyn likely takes the biggest leap as they gave up nothing to get Butler and in the West hard to not go with Dallas, even with the RJ injury, adding Mark and Rose who has always been a SiM contributor should see them rise in the standings
