Yeah it was looking like a good battle but I stepped away and came back to my bench players out there getting smacked. Good game or good quarter I should say
Best wishes rest of the way

There are still teams alive that are involved with multi team trades which effects other moves. Once these teams are eliminated (or win it all), moves will start to be announced. The latest things will start to move will be Monday, depending on who wins each game.
Power rankings and GM survey are due by next Friday, 11/14. Some teams have submitted their responses already but if you'd like to wait until the weekend to see how rosters shake out that is fine. Also, an update on the sim, wolverine sports has released early access. I plan on purchasing it this weekend and will begin to upload rosters as soon as everything is updated. Opening night will be tentatively scheduled for the week of 11/17. More updates will be given after the bubble tourney concludes this weekend.
What's been unclear to me is when to bid on the remaining free agents. Do we just wait until the tourney is done so everyone has a crack?
Some guys that might have been under the radar prior to the season are... in the radar now.
You can submit PM's for FA's at anytime. I will begin updating trades for teams eliminated tonight and tomorrow but all FA inquiries will wait until Monday. Monday, I will look at all bids that have been submitted since the bubble tourney began and let people know where they stand on signings.

Maxey is major problem to deal with! EZMoney, you’ve done a great job assembling that roster. Good luck this upcoming season in the rugged Atlantic.

My guys have won 4 straight on the road but given your 2k run I don't expect a 5th. I'm just hoping they can keep it within 20!

It was a calculated risk and one that will take some time to properly judge but it could definitely work out -- Reed's looking good and that '26 pick might be really nice given how strong this draft class seems.

Man I never understood why Portland cut him 2 years ago. It was confounding at the time and has never been clarified.
