Link went dead but I think the only other player with their original team is Kawhi.

I drafted SGA after Year 1 and that may be the next longest tenured player.

Derozan is with the Nuggets but I believe he had at least another stop or two on his way back home, no?

Definitely. He was with OKC and maybe one or two more teams.

Moussa!

I really like watching him play when I watch Miller. He does a lot of dirty work!

He’s found a nice groove right now. I think he’s going to take a nice leap in year 2

Interested in that KAT rating

Yeah I had him for a year and a half. I got him from Smash who got him from Milwaukee so he's got at least 4 teams under his belt since his first stint in Denver.

Player ratings change sometimes once teams are assembled. Wemby was a 100 when he was listed on the Spurs. Moved him to Toronto with the rest of your roster and it upped him to a 104. Chemistry and team building matter!

I think a good time as ever to post my GM survey answers. And I voted for myself and players where I felt appropriate (I know power rankings you can't vote for yourself but GM survey you answering how you think.

But my Wemby defensive pick looks great. I also put TOR as the toughest to predict success wise because I think they will be good regardless but we have never see a team built this way in BAF history. CHI last season was closest with the Jrue/Kawhi/Simmons trio. But this starting lineups defense will just be insane. And we have never seen interior defense like this ever with 2 of the best perimeter defenders in Jrue/White. Depending if he can get enough OFF I think in a playoff series TOR has the potential to beat anyone.
