The Jokic and Murray trades are looking really good for Melo and Deeeez.

Jokic:
19 l 7.5 l 5

Stats aren't up anymore from years two and one. I experimented with Jokic playing off Drummond in year two because of the sims affinity for odd lineups. Jokic was the center in year one, I tried a bunch of different ways to get Jokic to play like Jokic and the sim wasn't having it. I've said from the get go, Jokic is the hardest player in the league to replicate and it killed me not to be able to see it on my team.

Now perhaps playing next to Giannis he will breakout, but this sim? I dunno man. Here's to Beal discovering a three pointer next year in this sim. Hope it works out for Deez, just not at my expense.

Yea, I am not sure how the sim will view that pairing... In real life I would love to see how that core would fit together with Jokic throwing outlet passes to Giannis and hitting Mikal on cuts...might as well role with it. I guess certain things Jokic does really well would be hard to simulate, but hopefully it shows up somewhere.

For whatever reason, Beal couldnt shoot at all last season. But he was good the 2 years prior and seemed like his usual self. I would expect him to be back. On the other end, the sim made Jrue like a top 10 player and my best guy. It seemed like they just added some of his numbers to Jrue to balance itself out on the team.

What’s happening in real life now is definitely not an indication of what will happen in sim, especially since we’re usually a year behind. However, it has to feel good to see these guys going deep in the playoffs and performing at a very high level.

All NBA team are based on regular season results, the raptors deserved one player as they had the second best record in the entire NBA season, and Pascal was their best player during the regular season. Terrible playoffs but cant forget he did lead this team to the 2nd overall best record and best winning percentage in franchise history.

Melo team gonna be scary with all the SIM upgrades he is gonna be seeing and with Murray now in tow. I think Indiana gets all the flowers but Cleveland may be the team that's the actual BaF dynasty.

True. But to me, he is not a top 10 player. I view him in the Pippen mold. He is a strong 2nd option miscast as a 1st.

yep definitely not top 10, and wont have to be #1 when Masai signs Giannis. Ujiri helped Giannis family emigrate from Nigeria to Greece

I’ll have at least $900 and can go over the cap to resign them if necessary. I’m not worried. I waited 3 years for them to break out. They’re not going anywhere. I been patient enough already. Not going to reap the benefits of waiting for so long just for one or 2 seasons and let them go in free agency. They staying here. I built it from the ground up..

it will be tough to see him retain everyone but he could keep a good chunk of his core, losing a player like Lavine will not hurt him too much. Tatum raise will likely be covered with Lavine current salary. And DSJr&Dunn's salary will likely take care of Bam's increase
