I think Okoro is a hell of a two way sleeper. Great size, solid defense, and improving shooting numbers. Cleveland needs to trade him and let the young man go to work.

We're headed back to a playoff rotation. That and I'm trying out my god level strat. Y'all are about to see the real strength of Jarrett Allen (yes 29 ppg on 74 TS% is not the best he has to offer). Hopefully missing my #2 option isn't as much of a problem as I think.

I am holding back a little. But think I will crank things up once one of the top teams comes my way. After all these trades, I need to see if I can stay on the porch with the big dogs.

Pieces on the block, looking to make small improvements to my bench.
Aaron Holiday- $1/4 years
Tyus Jones- $1/1 year
Garrison Mathews- $1/3 years
Duncan Robinson- $1/1 year
2024 2nd- From Memphis- via Cleveland- via Miami
2023 2nd- From the LA Clippers- (via Phoenix- via Indiana)
Other than that, Utah has no more fireworks to set off.

Made some moves based on anticipating certain players being traded IRL to give more mins to depth pieces, lets see if the gamble works

To be honest the whole East needs to be on the look out. I was going through the rosters earlier and Wackbone might be on the same level as me, Deeez, and Hoffa after all those moves. Of course they have zero depth anywhere excluding C but if they fix that bench Murray/Benedict/Wiggins/KP/Kessler/Chet is scary good. The tendencies fit on this group is insane, I know Wack didn't necessarily know all the numbers involved but Murray and Benedict are drive and shoot/drive and kick heavy players, Wiggins is balanced between creating and spotting up, KP is all spot up and post, Chet is spot up and post, and Kessler is a catch and shoot guy too. If he made one move with his rotation (not saying it out loud) I can see him toppling Hoffa.

I agree 100%. The East has really tightened up. Which is why I said " I have no idea who will go into tank mode and some are one move away from a upset in the 1st round". HS/Dem Damn Bulls is playing great with a healthy Leonard; taking her and that Bulls team for granted will be a mistake, I like Orlando big time as well; a great balance of offense and defense.

I am not feeling another trade; almost gun shy right now. Afraid I may screw things up with the wrong move.

After letting AD walk, he was one of my top big man targets in FA. Great production for the money. I ended up spending all my cap on wings.
