Already got you as the clear cut best team in the league. Adding more depth would be scary. At the end of the day I don't see anybody with a big 3 as significant as Doncic, DMitch and Towns. I'm sure Zion is going to be a Sim beast too. I like the Cavs too and the Dame and Embiid combo is going to be extremely tough to deal with. On the West the Pelicans got a nice big 3 also so they are going to be tough. I like the Clippers too. But like I said, I'm just not seeing anybody who has a combo like Doncic, DMitch and Towns so it was tough to choose against it.

Yeah...I believe Indy comes out of the east but if im KOC I continue working-the sim is going to fire injury shots for sure- some will get hit- so as you know
bro-depth will be important...

Yeah you never know how injuries will play out but I think he's done a great job adding depth with pieces like Melo and Gay and there's still time to add more by the deadline.

I wonder if Melo gets a bump and Gay stays at 3?

I don't see Indiana as the clear cut favorites anymore, before this off season yeah, but right now I'd take Cavs, Pelicans and my Blazers over Indiana in a 7-game series.

Brooklyn can't be discounted either. They will have 2 5-star players in the SIM. Probably the best 1-2 combo in the game SIM wise.

That's true, but I'm not a big fan of their supporting cast and with how deep Chicago is now I can see them beating Brooklyn.

I'm willing to guarantee that Embiid won't have a better SIM rating than KAT. KAT had a monster season and he's about to become an absolute SIM Beast. With Luka? AND DMitch? Y'all crazy.

Oh I'm not discounting Indy...if anything its like 51-49% for me...so close!

But lillard almost won the MVP in the SIM and he even got better this year...shot 40% from 3 career best and 30 ppg. He is going to be an animal in the SIM.

Lillard is a beast, trust me I know, we had to throw everything at him to bounce him out the playoffs. But Indy has like 3 dudes who could all be in MVP candidates at least in terms of SIM production. KAT just had a 50/40/80 season irl and averaged 26/11/4 . I still got Brooklyn as one of the best teams and that Lillard and Embiid combo is lethal and especially when you add in Lavert getting a SIM bumb that's a legit big 3 but he's no DMitch and after that the rest of that roster is kind of inferior to Indy.

Sent my rankings in, can't even lie, it was splitting hairs on some teams. Eastern Conference should finally start becoming more of a blood bath, it's been weaker the past few years but we saw it pick up last year for the last few playoff spots. Some real interesting names bounced around, some trades really balanced out teams. Hopefully injuries won't derail some teams like it did last year throughout the league. We got some duos/trios that are down right scary.

I think we all learned a good lesson from this free agency to take into free agency in two years, definitely a valuable lesson for all of us.
Jazz: Under reconstruction, we'll be back.
