Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Announcement on page 75

Did y’all see mpharris roster? There’s only a single player with DEF rating lower than 63 and it’s Malik Beasley. Otherwise the entire roster is 63+ DEF.

He’s definitely the best defensive team in the league top to bottom and the most efficient offensively. Looks like he’s the favorite to 4-peat despite teams improving in an attempt to close the gap.

Your being modest but appreciate the love. You have 2 100 DEF (one being 104 with 104 block )

You are by far the best defensive team with your starting unit being 80, 80, 73, 104, and 100.

I think my defense can be top 10ish which is what I was hoping to be and just have a lot of good defenders.

Then let Jokic and my offense be what I know they can be.

Nah, man you’re the one being modest. Gonna be nearly impossible for anyone to defeat you in a 7 game series when you got almost all the shots filtered to the most efficient frontline in BaF (Jokic/Gafford) then got Murray as your release valve on the perimeter. And a litany of good defensive role players all across the roster.

I’m starting to think you’re Gary!

[Strick]

A few players on the TWolves a little lower than I hoped and some better than I expected. We should be pretty deep and have enough flexibility to really experiment with some different lineup combos. I’m excited to see how it comes together. Can’t wait to shoot for a playoff spot and maybe make a little noise out West!

Good luck to everyone and I can’t wait to get it started!

Games still need to be played and I'm looking at a lot of talented teams out there including yours. A lot of work went into this offseason for me especially with breaking up the Curry/Jokic combo. But I'm very happy with where I'm at.

Discipline imo is the stat to look at when it comes to defense. I’m still tryna figure out the game to be honest but from what I’ve seen you can have a solid defense rating but if your discipline rating is not that good you find yourself in foul trouble depending on your matchup. IQ probably plays its role on both ends as well.

What I’m most intrigued about is what causes your category stats to lower and rise. I think a ton plays into it. Personality, teammates personality, age, opportunity, coach and more

I ranked you 2 due to your defense. I think you've got a better defense but I have the dastardly Spurs as 1.

agreed a really good defender with bad discipline probably doesn't have the same impact because he won't be able to play big minutes due to foul trouble.

However you don't want the opposite end of spectrum where Haliburton has 100 discipline but 42 DEF. So he doesn't foul but is a traffic cone.

I feel a good spot is happy medium ...its what makes Jrue HOliday such an impactful defender +80 in both.

[mpharris36]

Jalen Williams has some insane stats across the board. Well deserved.

Yes sir agreed happy medium is a good spot

This game is always tricky with defense stats if you don’t already have a reputation on that end. that’s the only sucky part. But overall it’s not bad.

cant expect everything to be perfect

TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT

The Golden State Warriors have agreed to trade Jericho Sims and a 2027 2nd round draft pick (From Indiana) to the New Orleans Pelicans in exchange for Dwight Powell.

Redo your rankings

[Fat]

Looking to move Trenton Wartford $1/2 and a second round pick to open a roster spot

[bishnykfan]

Last chance to get your surveys/power rankings in. Survey answers will be displayed tonight. If your team page does not show your player ratings, your roster is not compliant. All rosters need to be fixed by Wednesday. Reach out to me if you have any questions.

[Manhattan Project]

Taking a quick look at my roster, I can't even tell if my team is gonna be good. Looks like some ratings across the league have had their ratings nuked, I'll have to take a closer look once they all get posted.

[Im Coming Home]

Taurean Prince available for picks.

[Capn'O]

Similar to the stars that preceded them, the overall ranking spitouts are so weird. They just never seem to be a composite of the individual rankings in any meaningful way.

I had you in the playoffs and your rankings are better than I expected.

[mpharris36]

anyone know what i need to do to get a compliant roster?

ROSTER SIZE- Each team only needs 13 players signed to their active roster rather than 15. Goes into effect beginning in the 2018 offseason and 2018-19 season. Approved 9/1/17

you only got 12 players signed. Need 13 guys.

So either you activate Ingram from your exempt list or you have to sign at least one player as a FA to your roster.
