Home skillet was one shot away from losing to a robot who was one game away from losing to a deadbeat. It's a conference where near everyone took one look at their busted squad and just gave up and moved their stars to the west. It's gotten so bad that LeBron and his merry band of role men and has beens are out there thinking they're a contendah. And they just might be :o

They gave up cause they realized I was getting stronger :o

Those robots were better than the best team in the west. Very sad!

I would say they most we know is "family responsibilities." KOC has a whole hill of kids like Bish but unlike Bish I think he also likes to sleep from time to time.

Once you get through all the scrolls enumerating all conditions surrounding said picks Context doesn't have as many as you might think anymore. I believe he still does have one or two good ones.

That makes it easier because you can play your starters minutes and don't need to worry about keeping anybody out the rotation

FREE AGENT STAR RATINGS

Spoiler:
Free agent star ratings can be found in the season 4 thread (link below) under each teams roster page by clicking on Spoiler. Those new to the game, if a player got traded mid-season you will have to find what team that player started the season off with to find their star rating.

https://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1974720

Also if your new to the game, if you look at the SIM ratings for a particular player under season 3 and then season 4 and compare it to their real life stats you can kind of figure out what the SIM values more when it comes to increasing/decreasing ratings. It is not an exact science but can lead you down the right track.

I don't think Smash is too worried since:
1. He has bird rights on your top 2 targets so can give them 5th years and they are at the age where that is the smart thing to do.
2. His free agent rankings makes his FA dollars a lot more valuable than yours.
3. Factors 1 and 2 means that you will need to overpay by a factor of 100% and you are notoriously cheap.

Yeah, I think Smash's decision is whether to drag you along and tie up your cap space and see if he can get his guys back at a bargain or just plunk down fair value early/shut you out and get on with his offseason

My hope is that Okoro, Okongwu, Okeke and Garuba all turn in to elite defensive players and in 3 years I win 60 games and never score over 100 points in a game.

Poku could also end up being a great defender although I have my doubts he ever really becomes elite on that end outside of shot blocking/rim protection.

I don't know much about Okeke and Garuba; but Okoro and Okongwu were two of my favorites defenders in their draft class. I jumped when Okongwu dropped to the Hawks this past season ( 2020 ).

That might be why the other GM/Owner left. He had two players, Luka and KAT, in the top 10. 1 in the top 30 with Mitchell, plus Zion. But best he could do was 6th. That just seems crazy.

In the NBA, that team is a beast blowing everyone up.

Pacers struggled cause there wasn’t much defense being played on that team. Besides Mitchell, there really wasn’t any good defenders there. The east was also pretty strong too

Also I think the owner left before the season started lol


The owner left once he realized the dynasty so many predicted wasn't so... :lol:

Funny how he didn't have time for BaF anymore but he was gettin' it in wit them Twitter fingers :lol:
