But in all seriousness I think the rotation seem a bit all over the place. I would just stick to LeBron at PG for the whole game and roll with that. Playing him a few minutes to start the game and then he just heads to the bench to then play PF the rest of the game.

I just look at the rotations of most of the successful teams and they have a more simple rotation strategy. If I remember early in the year you just had LeBron playing mostly all his mins at PG. I would stick personally stick with that. But thats just me.


When I was successful early in the season LeBron was playing 14 mpg @PG and 34 mpg @PF. So it's not that. We just suck bro. The crazy part is the SIM is saying I don't have enough scoring. Who'd have looked at my team and thought offense would have been the issue?

:lol:


If you follow my three step plan I think you will find Raptor success:

1. Withdraw Your Lineup:

MPHarris is probably right that the Sim is angry with you but he is giving the wrong reasons. He's saying all this basketball related stuff when in reality Sim Nurse probably just hates you for telling him what to do and is pulling a Sim Larry Brown. Don't take it personally. Each Sim coach has a particular disdain for their Sim GM. Do they come into your office??? Stay out of their Sim locker room. Leave lineups entirely to your Sim coach's whims and you will find success.


2. Acquire Elfrid Payton From Robin Somehow:

The Sim is like one of those posters on the General Board that hates what the modern game has become. "Positionless basketball? BAH!" Elfrid Payton, on the other hand, is exactly the kind of player that a video game would come up with if they were creating a generic point guard so naturally the Sim loves him. And you don't really have a point guard. "But LeBron plays point guard in real life" you might say. See item 1. Your Sim coach hates you. Also, you might have one too many wings.

Spoiler:

As for getting in touch with Robin, they don't pay me enough to tell you that...

Spoiler:

3. Play LeBron Less:

This, of course, would be an inherent result of Suggestion 1 but you didn't listen to me then so listen to me now. You might try to look into this statement and again find some sort of basketball related meaning to this recommendation like preserving LeBron's energy. Please don't do that. This is about allowing Sim Nurse to find ample minutes for Alex Len, who will somehow become your team's savior while Sim LeBron's pouty ass sits. Positionless basketball? BAH!

Hope this helps. Merry Christmas BAF faithful!

Worst player in raps history. No team will win an NBA championship with him on it. If you can't play a lick of defense or have a consistent 3 point shot you are not winning a playoff series with him

Lowry and Derozan turned Toronto into a winning program, DD took $14 mil less than he could've, made two all-nba appearances while there, won multiple playoff series in Toronto and in the end if not for Pop valuing DeRozan there would be no Kawhi trade.





Hoffa as usual is a poor talent evaluator which is why he has never made a BAF playoffs.

Upon the completion of the season, DeRozan became the first guard to average at least 22 points per game on 52+ percent shooting (53.1%, to be exact) since Michael Jordan himself in 1991.


DeMar was the only reason they were two games away from the playoffs

Career 28% from 3... pop could of had his streak continue to 23 years with any other avg guard in his rotation..even pop couldn't get derozan to play defense, might as well have a chair out there on defense

The Spurs were minus-2.0 points per 100 possessions with DeRozan on the floor and plus-2.4 with him off. It was his 10th negative net rating swing in 11 seasons.


The right role for DeRozan going forward might be as the heat-check-off-the-bench guy. Think of a bigger Lou Williams, whose defense isn't as much of a liability against opposing second units.

DeRozan has developed to become a playmaker in San Antonio and he just had one of his most offensive efficient seasons this year with a TS of 60%, when Spurs gave him room to operate with LMA shooting the ball more this season his plus-minus numbers: " Spurs outscored opponents by 8.7 points per 100 possessions when DeRozan was on the court. That’s the highest mark on the team over that stretch of time by a substantial amount. "

You don't know anything about putting together winning teams or how to put players in positions to win.

Well, the party's over! Enjoyed a nice long homestand and got some wins against some really good playoff caliber teams (Indy , Philly, Chicago ,Sacramento, Charlotte, Atlanta, and Washington) during that time, but now I'm going on the road and starting off with Indiana (19-6), Philadelphia (17-6), and Cleveland (20-4). I'm just hoping to steal one of these but in all likelihood I'll be dropping down to the 3rd or 4th seed pretty quickly.

Sexton and Achiuwa look really nice irl. Still can’t believe the Knicks missed out on Sexton by one pick. Smh
