Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Announcement on page 87

[Context]

This is the adjustment I think the league should make:

What is the salary cap for the 24-25 NBA season?

The salary cap is projected to be set at $141 million.

We are about 15% off of the IRL nba salary cap...That difference would help...

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Chicago Bulls have agreed to trade TJ McConnell and Mitchell Robinson to the Utah Jazz in exchange for Robert Williams III and Tyler Herro.

I remember when I first joined this league and the one bit of advice I heard from everyone is, those *********s are gonna try and scam you for Mitch

A whole page on the worst offensive player in the entire draft…. I sure hope he can play some small ball center or with a stretch 5, because this is the NBA & opponents love 4 vs 5. Probably a better defender but he makes Matisse Thybulle look like a bucket.

Edit added:
Once upon a time, Ben Simmons was super exposed in the playoffs and it changed his life forever. He is a decent gamble if a warlock or wizard can fix his jumper but defensive highlights don’t show the entire story

he's a polarizing prospect for sure. i was thinking about drafting him in the 2nd round if he fell to me. he seems like a generational type talent defensively, but his jumper might be so bad that it negates any positive he has on the defensive end. now if he ever gets that jump shot down though, there's a good chance he can end up being the best 3 and d wing in the league. i heard he was shooting well in workouts so maybe he has a chance

Both conferences overall look good. Not many teams you can say is an easy kill so far.

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Detroit Pistons have agreed to trade Jericho Sims and Blake Wesley to the Indiana Pacers in exchange for a 2026 2nd round draft pick (From Denver).

Rosters are now frozen. All transactions I have, have been posted. Please confirm your team page and draft pages are correct. I will begin calculating FA rankings tomorrow so if there is anything incorrect please let me know ASAP.

So far I have two rule change proposals in my inbox. GMs have until midnight tonight to get any proposals into my inbox.

He's in the gym working -in June-3 days after the draft

Listen to how grateful he is for the opportunity. The only thing on his mind is WORK. And he hears all the talk about his shot.
Precisely why he shot well in the workouts. I got him at the 2nd lowest salary slot at $16...$15 would have been the lowest- I will
have him at 7 years of control...
Best calculated risk I've ever taken in BAF.

Is everyone "IN" for next season or do we need to find new GMs before FA?

we will have to see what happens in actual games. a lot of players shoot well in workouts but it does not translate into games. but he is a good prospect for sure. if he gets the shot down he will be very good for sure

eveything is we have to see until the game Mel...thats a given...my point is- in all of my years of scouting these guys-I've never
seen this level of "hunger" in a 21 year old...That was the #2 reason I squeezed him on my roster...

Love the season Herro had. Adding more offensive power and 3 point shooting, while keeping our defense intact, was the goal.

For contenders with cap issues looking for a young rotation piece on multi-year minimum contract, Vince Williams Jr can be had for a 2026 or 2027 1st pick
