Build a Franchise (Season 6) Discussion thread continued

Now to figure out how to get a high level starting SF.

You have one lol.

[Deeeez Knicks]

RJ Barrett….perfect for tanking teams. Good value on the contract too….$103/4 years

Doctors have informed us surgery went well and he is expected to make a full recovery

Simmons?

I tried it a couple times with not much success but you’re right. It might be the answer.

Nah not Simmons. He worked best at the 2 for me with Hami at the 3. I was thinking Brogdon or Poole.

I put what's probably my best rotation in my sig but I'll be using different ones to start after the trades are processed. Iguodala and McDaniels gives me the ability to run a switching defense and lock teams up.

When CP3 (who has the 3rd highest steal rating in the game) is your worst defender in the starting 5 the future looks good. I liked my old team but this one can win a series. Get ready to get locked up Western Conference, and don't expect my offense to taking the fall you'd think they'd take losing DeMar.

Pulling up to the Orlando front office if Drummond isnt the sim beast Depalma claims

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.

Expecting 20 & 10 and nothing less tbh

It wouldn't surprise me. That's pretty much what he did while Davis was out. I tried a few times to play him with AD though but I am something 0-7 in games where Davis plays PF. He needs full time C minutes and I tried to make it happen here but it wasn't to be.

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

I think it's glossed over because he gave up JJJ to get him. JJJ is freaking amazing but Giddey was a position of need. Win win trade but imo Fatboy had the bigger win.

Yeah, we still waiting on the Morant/Edwards | Luka | Brown 3-way blockbuster to drop.

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

they gave up two 1sts --one that has a very good chance of going unprotected or being the 9th pick---the sim will decide where the 2024th will land...Not to mention, VERY valuable cap space. Something that NO OTHER team was willing to give up or could give up. And bamba was taken because that was the only way the deal would work. IF the deal could have been done without him he would have gladly kept him... So no- he didnt get Butler for NOTHING.

Before we unleash the sim monster that is Whiteside… we’re willing to listen to offers.

I mean... It was nothing lol. The cap space is what he gave up and that's saying a lot. Jimmy is a great player but is on one of the worst deals in BaF. Half your cap on one player is impossible without someone like Luka.

$400 in cap space is not nothing.
2 1sts (in context E) is not "nothing".

It's a hefty salary but he's got bargain deals with Sabonis, Grant, and Brunson. Kuzma is also very reasonable so he could afford the splurge. With the numbers his guys are putting up IRL, I think next year he's got a starting 5 of two 4.5 star players and three 3.5 star players. He's going to be a problem!

The cap space is definitely not giving up "nothing" and the draft capital is definitely not nothing, but I think it was a heck of a deal for Brooklyn and I think Context did well in recouping the space and adding more draft capital to get ready to fire again after his loaded young talent matures another year.

I'm rooting for him but ultimately the sim will decide...the sim continues to rob many teams Depalma!
