I hate these new numbers tbh. Hella scoring records being broken but no one cares.

I think there's like 50+ players over 20 PPG right now. Go back 10 years and it was only 11 guys.


Steph Curry has changed the game. The spacing and shooting now in the league is pretty tough to guard with todays athletes and the hand check rules.

Also defense isn't emphasized like it used to be. HOH and all those other sources of videos on social media don't show defensive plays for the most part...its all offense. That is what gets you on videos.

Combine that with everyones ability to shoot now and how much the floor is spaced. You got anyone being able to drop 30 it seems on a random night.

This being all from one game is impressive as hell for a center. Such a unique player and has taken quite the leap in year 2. Can’t wait for SimGawd SenGOON to be activated next year

Willing to listen on PJ Tucker $1/2 years (so you have an extra year of control) since with my most recent moves he is the odd man out on my rotation. Won't be giving him away since its always nice to have insurance in case of an injury but if you have a draft pick package for a vet that is a +70 DEF that won't take shots away from your big dogs hit me up.

The team is so frustrating to watch. Individual talent for sure and you see the flashes when everything clicks. I think their coach gives players way too much freedom and there isn’t much structure in anything they do.

A legit PG would go a long way for helping Green, Sengun, and Smith.

I think a new coach is almost a must for them in HOU

Its unfortunate for me because I had two guys that would have been taking up $240 of my cap so I had to manage risk on the financial side as well as the sim --plus -I like a couple of players in this draft :wink:
Hopefully Green realizes that in order to become a kobe- MJ- etc...he has to be commited at a high level...
That was one of the differences with Curry over Westbrook...I remember when I traded a hot westbrook for Curry...this was pre currymania; curry understood what he needed to do to take over...Hopefully the kid (Green) understands what it takes...talent is far from enough...
to be continued 8-)

It was a tough call. Sacrificed some depth for an upgrade. Wanted to experiment with a wing heavy lineup. Not sure how it will work out but hoping it pays off when rotations get tighter.

I like my wing heavy rotations. It seems to create some pretty good mismatches. It helps a lot if some of the wings are decent defenders as well.

Mannnnn Arrmmyyyyyyyy



Slowly but surely got the rotation players I targeted in summer in Caruso & Mann, sure I wanted them for $1 but 40-50 bucks should be chip change for quality 2 way players like them
