Re: Build a Franchise (Season 7) Discussion thread- Regular season begins 11/27 

Post#101 » by wackbone » Thu Nov 30, 2023 3:11 am

Finally got my first win of the season against a pesty Milwaukee team.

Poole with 16, Mathurin with 17, and Kuzma with 18 off of the bench.

Chet continues to not get a ton of playing time, this time not quite as much foul trouble. Wonder if he picked up his 4 fouls early then sat for an extended period. Talent wise I have a really solid 8 - not relying on any one guy, but also don't have any one guy that can dominate. Should be helpful with avoiding/dealing with injuries, but is a pain early in the season.

All that being said, still open to moves. More likely to build for the future than go all in now - not moving Chet/Kessler, unlikely to move Mathurin if only because of his contract/age. My other pieces could potentially be dealt in the right move. I also still have decent cap space to facilitate a move. Feel free to reach out about anyone, I will gladly listen.

Scored exactly 114 points in each of our first three games. Never seen that before.

Durant willing us to victory when we got no center against a tough Mavs team

Picked up a nice team balanced win, JJJ leading the way. Westbrook playing like a potential 6moty.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.

Lol if you have something in mind it’s probably better to try it early in the season. We’ve been winning as well, but I quickly realized over the first two games that I hadn’t put Sabonis in a position to be successful with the offense I was running, so I switched things up. He came out in game three with a 17/11/11 triple double.

NYK and GSW may be the last standing undefeated teams rn if I’m not mistaken :beer:

Edit: BKN and CHI undefeated too.
