Just stating the facts bro. We all know what he’s up to and he keeps dropping in the thread every now and then to remind us lol. Looking at the way your money is set up though I wouldn’t be concerned.

Man looking at your roster and you’re still the team to beat. There’s just so much potential and star power at EVERY position. Gonna be fun watching the East beat up on each other.
We gonna be battling it out in the West, but you better believe that whichever one of us come out on top will be worthy to give you the fight of your life!
Should be fun to see who’s coming out of the west to try and dethrone me

So far he is playing as advertised. Hopefully a long term 3D Wing to go along with Bey.
Good lord! Harris, Moody, and Bey is some serious shooting! With Luka’s elite passing, and ability to penetrate and Zion’s explosiveness you’ve got something special. I like the KP and Zion fit specifically because of KP’s shot blocking, and ability to open up the floor. They both have space to be great at what they do.
When I look at your team I see a strategy that was well thought out. Only thing I’d do this off-season if I were in your shoes would be to add some more defenders. Either through free agency, or flipping one of those shooters.
I did not know Zion averaged 27/7 last season
I am counting on Zion to get a bump that gives me close to two 30 point per game players. As much as I hated moving Mitchell and KAT, I felt like cheap quality depth was the only way to play catch up with Cleveland. He is just way to deep and I needed more scoring at all my positions.
The west is going to be brutal. Their winner could easily be the champion this year.
You might be a rookie, but you're already thinking like a BAF vet

individual he is be the best man to man defender in the draft. He is an absolute pest. He gave Bouknight a lot of problems until the last few minutes when Bouk finally made a few plays.
His shooting still concerns me because there isn't a long track record and his FT numbers are sus but you don't have to worry about his effort and defense and he has some solid playmaking with that great burst.

I agree. His shot will unlock a lot of his game. He is quick as hell and can create separation especially if they start to try and lean towards forcing him to shoot more instead of blowing by them. I think he has the work ethic to become a consistently respectable shooter at least. But yes he’s an absolute menace on defense
Bouknight had some really nice moments though. I love his creativity around the rim even if he doesn’t always convert on them. Dude is explosive as hell and crafty as hell

You boys out West finna get a taste of what it felt like for us in the East the past two years. Remember at one point we had 7 teams still in the playoff race for the bottom-two seeds with 5 games to go.
Also, don't sleep on Utah. Manhattan been on some sneaky schit and still looking to make more moves.

Yeah Mitchell just possess that pitbull type mentality he just takes away your space and makes life miserable for you. He def has the Chris Paul pest like ability on defense that gets offensive players frustrated.
And yes he went from a bad shooter at Baylor to a good 3 point shooter in his last year even with his FT shooting staying around 65%. But like you said I think he has the work ethic to be a respectable shooter which will unluck his game because there are very few guys that can keep him in front of them. I look forward to watching the kings with a lot of 3 guard lineups with Fox/Haliburton both have size to maybe play alongside with Mitchell.
Yeah Bouk had a great first game and a meh second game but its no shame to be shut down by Mitchell. Its a good learning experience. I like the fact even though he was struggling the second game he still made a few plays down the stretch that showed he was still going to find a way to get some buckets even with Mitchell all over him.

Yea I had to do a quick edit and add Kyrie to the list. SIM Kyrie will drop a 50 piece EASY. I haven’t forgotten what he did after landing with DaGawd/Washington last season. Yea Utah is in there as well. Yo this is gonna be a difficult season.

Another team I’m keeping a close eye on is OKC. The off-season is far from over. That’s why I suggested Slice do rankings after free agency.

You got plenty to worry about in your own conference. For starters, Philly drafted Jericho Sims. You think the SIM ain't gonna respect that guy? The robots are coming for you.
