IT'S A CELEBRATION BABY! SPEECH COMING!!!! YO I'M HYPE!!! SO EXCITED MAN SHEESH!!

my son is 15 months now. When my team is ready to compete ( ) I hope he starts to take an interest like you have with your family. It put a huge smile on my face to see you get the whole family involved!

[swisscheeseD]

My guy Newera...I know how you feel as an OG, I’m sure I would have been pretty hyped right now. What Bish has built here has been classic. I really thought this was my year, and I wanted it to be me and you in the Finals (mainly because I didn’t want to face Dallas, no offense). But you did your thing man. By being you and always willing to mix it up if it makes you better. How you were able to risk it all by trading Steph and still winning a title Is something that only you could do.

Congrats my dude...I’m celebrating with you!

[NewEra]

To this phenomenal team, and champions:

Westbrook: People have always doubted you, but I saw something special in you. Your fight, focus, leadership, and unmatched tenacity is what pulled us through. Even when they talked about you, you never got down on yourself but kept working hard. You willed us through game 7 like the STAR that you are. Congrats Mr. Finals MVP!

Lou Williams: Man oh man. If you’re not the 6th man of the year! We wouldn’t be here without you Lou. You carried us so many times this season, and throughout the playoffs. One of the most notable moments was inserting you into the starting lineup where you completely shifted the dynamics of the Dallas series. You’re a true champ and a serious baller! Thank you!

Lamarcus Aldridge: Sir. You’ve stuck with us through thick and thin. They don’t give you much credit, but you were top 10 in scoring and rebounds for consecutive seasons. Our leading, and most consistent scorer. I’m glad we had you on our side big fella. We don’t know your plans after this, but you’ll always have a home here. Thank you!

To be continued...

(Oh yea... I’m gonna take my time with this one lol)

[swisscheeseD]

Shout out to everyone in here to tonight. Hope ya’ll staying safe, it’s a pleasure to shoot the **** with everyone, maybe even talk a little **** from time to time...you’re all good people.

With that said...

Trader Swiss is open for business...

The cojones to trade the best player on the best team that late in the year and have the confidence in your roster building that much to win a championship takes a special GM.

New Era GM of the year hands down to pull off that move that most of us would have never done!

[NewEra]

adams not in foul trouble early is a great sign for GS. Embiid is being kept under control so far by him.

Oh he came off the bench tonight bro. Definitely needed to shake things up to end that trend. Glad it worked.

EOY,GM, and coach of the year

[NewEra]

Steven Adams: Our leader/monster on the defensive end. It took a year or more for us to pry you from the Bucks, but I’m so glad we were persistent. We’ve always wanted you here, and we’re glad we’ve got you for a couple more years. You took coming off the bench in game 7 like a true pro. Thanks for your leadership and fight champ! Enjoy this, cause you deserve it.

Domantas Sabonis: How we got you here was nothing but a blessing. You’re a young star, and it’s undeniable. Thank you for taking up the role coming off the bench for us behind the veteran Lamarcus. You were so dominant. I’m glad we were able to start you for the final game and get a glimpse of next year (wink wink). Get used to it. We’re looking forward to having that talk on July 1st!

Gary Harris: Your acquisition happened at the 11th hour of the trade deadline. Who knew you’d be here right now? You’ve hit so many CLUTCH shots for us I can’t count. Congrats on this your first championship! We’re proud to have you as a Warrior.

PJ Tucker: When we gave you a 2yr NTC, we did it because we knew having a 3&D wing would always be needed. You never complained no matter the role. You’re our longest tenured Warrior and I’m so glad that we could bring you a championship before you became a free agent. Thank you for all the years of blood, sweat and tears champ.

[NewEra]

Jerami Grant: You came to us as part of the Joe Ingles trade. You’re a jack of all trades man. I’ve been able to slot you just about anywhere and you’ve delivered. We’d be honored to have you back here, but for now enjoy this moment. You’ve earned it.

Reggie Bullock: Reggie! I can’t front, this team doesn’t have many three point shooters. Thanks for stepping into your role and doing it well. You’re a true pro and we appreciate you to the fullest. Enjoy champ!

PJ Dozier: Let me just say that you’ve impressed us man. When we signed you off the FA list, we didn’t know the level of impact you’d have here. We just knew you had a 2.0 rating lol. Let’s just say I’m sure you’ve earned yourself a contract This off-season. Whether it’s here or elsewhere, go and be great young champ.

To the rest of you champs, many of you came in off the FA list, and we brought you here because we believed if the time came for you to step up, then you would. Thanks for the positive attitudes even when playing time was limited. You’ll always be a part of dub nation. Hopefully you can take this experience and allow it to push you even further in your careers.

Kudos to New Era, one hell of a team built this year.
Kudos to Mecca, back to back finals trip ain't nothing to sneeze at.

[Deeeez Knicks]

Congratulations to New Era and the Golden State Warriors!! One hell of a job building, coaching and gm'ing the team.
Salute to Mecca for another great team and finals run.

Last but not least, thank you to bish for running another season of baf and putting up with all of us lunatics

[Mecca]

Yerr, sorry I'm late.

First off, want to congratulate NewEra for winning his first BAF Championship. Dude put in the most work all year and was more than deserving. I knew I was up against an absolutely monstrous team, so I knew this was a possibility. Respect man. Happy to see another OG get a ring. Welcome to the club.

You made some smart moves in both FA and at the deadline, it's definitely well deserved.

Also, huge shoutout to the KING Commish, Bish. Man, you are a BEASTTTT. We all got love for you bro. This was so cool to look at, especially during Rona. I hope you took the money out of the gofundme and we'll start a new one for you this off-season.

Guys, I expect a $20 donation (for league fees) from all 30 members this year to Bish for his family.

Lastly, respect to my boys in Brooklyn. Straight hoopers took me back to back seasons of making game 7 of the NBA Finals. This season was always going to be the last push before I broke the core up.

LeVert is going to be a very tough get, but my core is available. Holla @ me. I'm back in business.

[HEZI]

Congrats to NE and the Warriors! Well deserved

[Capn'O]

Congrats NE! A well deserved chip. That team was DEEP with great star power and incredibly well managed. Went through last year's champ and runner up... and some upstart team that provided you some key parts. Mecca's team could have been there either year. He's done a hell of a job too. And now we'll see what he has up his sleeve. I do think Simmons can be moved...

Domantas Sabonis: How we got you here was nothing but a blessing. You’re a young star, and it’s undeniable. Thank you for taking up the role coming off the bench for us behind the veteran Lamarcus. You were so dominant. I’m glad we were able to start you for the final game and get a glimpse of next year (wink wink). Get used to it. We’re looking forward to having that talk on July 1st!

Great gets great gets. It's always been a pleasure wheeling and dealing with you as you're so easy to work with and your timeline was a bit ahead of mine. Sabonis was a TOUGH one to move. My question was "do I want to pay an unknown value for Sabas in two years or $160 for Nurk?" Our moves helped ensure that a new power will soon rise in the West. This year we skirmished. Looking forward to some real battles in the future, my man!

[2010]

Congrats to NewEra for completing his mission. He was hellbent on making it happen and he did. Major props!

Mecca, big ups to you for making it a series and getting to consecutive BaF Finals!

[El Poochio]

Congrats NewEra very well deserved one of the best BAF seasons of all time dominant from start to finish capped off nicely
