Congratulations to both Mecca (Brooklyn Nets) and NewEra (Golden State Warriors) for making it to the BaF (Season 3) Finals! Brooklyn making it to the Finals in back to back seasons while Golden State is making their first ever Finals appearance. The Finals will begin on Tuesday, either way we will crown a new champion in the next couple of weeks. Good luck to both teams!
As we take a breath before our championship series starts, we need to start thinking about turning the page to season 4. First off, I need to get commitments from all who want back in for next season. Please quote and respond with a yes/no or an in/out for next season.Spoiler:
Secondly, our offseason will be different this year then in years past. First off, our offseason will most likely be a much longer one then normal, and it normally seems really long. But considering the NBA will probably not begin their 2020-21 season before Christmas, I'm going to guess that our season four will probably not begin before next January-February. This will present a huge challenge for us in terms of keeping 30 GMs interest level high. For that reason, we will more than likely postpone or drag out a few aspects of our offseason.
I believe that our draft should still happen just before the actual NBA draft and considering we don't know when that will be will present a challenge. As soon as the NBA announces their draft date, we will announce ours. But teams should plan on it beginning the week before the actual draft.
Free Agency will also present its own challenge. There is a good chance that the NBA free agency doesn't begin until September/October. That will make for a long period of inactivity for BaF.
I have begun to put together the ratings for free agency. Once again, for anyone new to our league, franchises are rated on four metrics for free agency:
1. Winning organization- based on a three year cumulative
2. Future of the organization
3. Star player
4. Player Happiness
I have the rating for #1 completed and am now working on #2. The "future of organization" is based on draft capital and average age of each teams top six salaried players. I have worked out the average age part and now need to complete the draft part. Please check the announcement on page 52 of this thread for this years draft order. I will give until Tuesday for any disputes to be brought to my attention. After that, that draft order will be final.
There has already been one GM bring a rule change proposal to me which will be posted for discussion after the Finals is complete. If there are any other questions or issues moving forward with our offseason, please let me know.

In!
When can we complete trades assuming next year's cap numbers?

Another idea could be sticking to our regular BAF schedule and stretching FA over the summer? I've never participated in the draft, is there a problem if we do the draft a couple weeks before the NBA draft?

GS has the size to matchup with Embiid. And lets see if GS depth proves more powerful than Brooklyn's star power.

Aldridge hasn't been performing the same in the playoffs as he was in the regular season. Whereas Embiid has peaked in the playoffs. Not sure if Aldridge has gotten old overnight or what. But that matchup bears watching. Sabonis and Warriors depth across the board will determine their chances at getting their first ring.
, and played very limited minutes as a result. He was our leading scorer all season. I trust that after a few adjustments he’ll be ok. He was pretty much MIA in the Dallas series.
