Re: Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread
I don’t have much to brag about in SL since Walter Clayton Jr was shut down due to a tweak.
Dink Pate had some moments that were intriguing. He had some rough patches without a doubt but he’s young, big for a guard, athletic, and I think is worth trying to develop. He’s gotta work on that jumper though..
Maybe the BAF Timberwolves have a player a few years away in the EL pipeline

Holy crap I have been outta the loop. I think i responded to all my DMs. Not much for me to do otherwise, Valanciunas is staying in the NBA so I'll let him expire.

Have I ever mentioned that I'm not a huge fan of the Warriors as an organization. IRL of course. All love to NewEra.
