Build a Franchise (Season 8) Discussion Thread- Philadelphia is now on the clock until 4PM

[NewEra]

I’m going to hand out the 1st ever $600 contract in the off-season wish me luck.

I think we all know you're not lying either

And still it may not be enough

Good win bro. You've made the Raps relevant and no doubt elite. I was hoping to avoid a 2010 write up. That fourth word of your post-game summaries is a killer. Thankfully I was hit with the word "defeated" and not some of the other descriptions I've seen

Haha, I kept it neutral! Good game tho, fam (even tho it wasn’t the result you wanted).

Respect!

Hey wackbone GG my boy. Looks like we traded haymakers in that first half.

Damn. I need to string together a win streak here.

Myles Turner...

I don't want to talk about it.

Spoiler:

Ironically, I had a Gobert/Turner deal lined up with Ribs and backed out. Came running back but he'd found another deal. Rudy can kick rocks always and forever.

Our league likes bigs. You've got some great pieces to make a big push this offseason to balance while keeping a deadly core intact but probably not your year this one.

Spoiler:

Yeah i think KAT and Brook is a much better pairing for sure

What’s annoying me the most is that Tatum isn’t that good in the sim… again. Wasn’t even an all star. I truly don’t get it. Happens year after year he sucks. At this point I’m hoping that Wagner and Christie can get some sim bumps for next year and my team can dominate again. I am still holding out hope my team gets it together in the playoffs though. They usually wake up by then.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal with Tatum is here. He's not MVP but he's elite IRL. I kind of had the same issue with Brown, only in the playoffs. Maybe the Sim is just a little confused on wings. But you've got a few guys poised for a bump next season, as you say. Giddey could even see some movement and the Wagner deal was a coup for you. Never know what can happen in the POs but I expect you to continue to be a problem going forward.

I’ve pretty much came to the conclusion that the sim developer hates Boston irl not sure how it keeps happening every year with Tatum. I’m just gonna keep experimenting with lineups and hopefully something works by the playoffs and we can make a deep run again. It’s the most I can do until those sim bumps come in for next year.

Just saw your edit, yeah maybe they are confused with wings. Bigs do really run the sim.

Or maybe they do hate the Celtics. In which case, respect.

But I've had guys like Royce o'neal and DFS basically be useless which also supports the wings theory.

That said, it LOVES me having Thybulle in my lineup so maybe it's all about stocks.

I think it might be a stocks thing or specifically a Boston issue. Cause Kawhi has been dominant in the sim. He’s putting up numbers in the sim that Tatum is doing in real life

Tatum did wake up in the playoffs last year though.. so maybe he’s waiting for that. I hope

14 for 30 from the FT line isn't going to cut it!

[2010]

This smelled like a trap game and it rang true. Undefeated home steak over. Oh well, better to drop a game or two at home now rather than in the playoffs when HCA will be so crucial.

Gave up 75 pts in the 2nd half and 44 pts in the 4th. Iono what that is, but that ain’t defense!

Despite that your team still made it a close game. Your team is very young but already tough so the future is looking very bright. Good game
