Build a Franchise (Season 5) Bubble Tournament Edition- (Bubble schedule on page 21)

[Buzzard]

I’m done making moves this offseason.

My final three acquisitions round out my roster, and I consider them the final stage of my upgrades.

RATIONALE

Steven Adams < Bol Bol
• Playing the long game here, big believer in his talent once it meets opportunity, and I’ve secured his bird rights

Watch on YouTube

James Johnson < Kyle Kuzma
• Clear upgrade. Acquired a scoring PF off the bench who can stick the three, plus the ability to score on all three levels

Watch on YouTube

Jeremy Lamb < Khyri Thomas
• Playing to the SIM here. Sneaky small sample size production but I’m betting on the SIM simply basing his ratings valuation off statistics and analytics alone

Last season’s IRL stats for Khyri Thomas:
30.6 MINS | 16.4 PTS | 48% FG | 100% FT | 33% 3PT | 1.8 3PTM | 3.6 REB | 5.0 AST | 1.8 STL | 1.2 BLK | 21.3 PER | .586 TS%

I agree that those are some nice additions and the logic works. I don't think I am ever done and another defensive player would be great. Bitadze is looking like a solid defensive addition in 2K. I think JRich is solid also. I may have to give more minutes to JRich vs Nunn. Especially if both guards are solid scorers for my opponent.

I think I did a good job with my depth. Despite the loss, my bench still won the day 15 - 14. That's all three games that my bench has won.

Wouldn't mind seeing on how the scoring of my starting five works or to see if Dinwiddie becomes a super sixth man.

I want to see how Nunn works out as a starting PG this off season. He played really well in 44 starts last season. I hope the newer SIM gives him a decent bump.

I mean personally... you don't get cute. You have Luka, can't mess that up.

I don't think moving Luka around is getting cute. He will be a primary ball handler no matter what position he is penciled in at. I think starting Nunn may give me my best starting five. There is only one way to find out and the off season is the perfect time to experiment.

He played like 6 games I don't think Khyri is getting a boost. I got less experience with the sim than y'all though so maybe I'm wrong.

To me it was worth taking the wait and see approach.

At best, I catch lightning in a bottle if the SIM evaluates him soley on statistical output with disregard to the small sample size.

At worst, he becomes a 3rd string guard who should have a solid defensive rating, albeit pedestrian offensive attributes.

If the end result is falling in between the two extremes, I’m good with that for my 15th man.

10 man rotation in my sig but I think I'll keep a 9 man rotation all year. I probably have the most lineup versatility in the league right now. I can run whole G lineups like Westbrook-Dragic-Satoransky-Hami-Simmons.

I feel like my team has the widest range of possible outcomes with all the guys I have that stunk in the sim last year but are coming off career seasons.

Russ and his triple double average + shooting 32% from deep (if he has a 70+ 3 point rating I'm hype).
Warren and his bubble production.
Nwora averaging 23/8/1 on 45% shooting from deep with 2 steals and a block per 36.
Brown averaging 15/15 per 36.
Sumner and his 53/40/82 shooting splits.
Frankie and his 19 pp36 on 41% shooting from deep (60 TS%).

If all of these guys' production goes into the sim I should have a crazy squad. Still think I need one more real life starter here or LMA to come out of retirement to be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs but I should be able to hit over .500.

Maybe we should be doing a small tournament. Have a losers elimination bracket now. While keeping the winner ( OKC ) moving on as is. I really want to play GSW though if we are going to keep on with random and voting.

You won 2 already though lol. I think melo and bish will get the tournament going, until then we're just messing around.

GSW also looks like one of the top teams. That's why I want to play them...

yeah I think Melo is going to do one when 2k22 comes out in a week or so.

It will probably be better also. I don't imagine players like Nunn and Bey are very relevant in this one. Moody does not even exist.

You don’t want to play the undefeated Blazers?

[Smash3]

Pelicans vs Mavs would be a good game too

I am up for the challenge of the upstart Trailblazers out west.

There is a lot of good teams in this league. Cavs can talk all the smack they want, the championship is up for grabs.

Spoke to Melo last night. He said the new version of 2K comes out next week and we want to make sure that the game is updated as much as possible. We’re looking at a potential 9/10 start to this bubble tourney. Schedule will be announced before the weekend.
