I hate giving up Saraf so quickly but I kid you not, I'd been working for over a month to clear a spot for Gillespie and this is where I landed after a much bigger multi-team deal fell through. :lol:

I got weirdly fixated on Gillespie after I saw that his advanced stats are somewhat comparable to guys like Pritchard, TJ McConnell, and Ty Jerome at the same age. 2k already upped his rating 4 points based on the first month, hopefully the sim factors that time in too (though he's on my 3rd string at the moment so it probably doesn't matter much).

Welcome Obi and Grant. I like Robert Williams but happy to trade him for 2 solid depth pieces on solid multi year contracts.

Feeling pretty good about my 6-9 guys being De'Anthony Melton/Jaylen Wells/Obi Toppin/Grant Williams.

De'Aaron Fox / Kyle Lowry / Bronny James
Dyson Daniels / De'Anthony Melton / Svi Mykhailiuk
OG Anunoby / Jaylen Wells / Baylor Scheierman

Good deal for both teams I think. I was desperate for rim protection (and another Blazer!), didn't really need Grant Williams and I think/hope Jarace is a good enough replacement for Obi. Plus I get to take a wild swing with Theiro, who is one of the toughest rookies to project; he could be terrible or awesome but hey we'll all find out together.

Ok got my team set, let's do this.

3rd start of the year for this guy. I didn't expect his shot to come along so quickly. He actually made a few twos this game :lol:
