Thybullr could have an over 90 defensive rating, Capela will see his defensive rating increase, Ariza was over 80 last year, and Caruso will also liekly have an over 80 defensive rating. I know it will be difficult to go offense for offense with you so got to try something on the defensive side of the ball.

And that offer makes me worse not just this year but into the future, Morant is locked in for 4 years at 11 percent cap and already has a 3.5 star rating

I was also the best defensive team in the league. So I’ll put the clamps on you

My offer makes you better cause you’re getting a player that’s likely to be 4.5 stars this season. Im giving you an opportunity to win the east

Without naming the player, there is no chance in hell he gets 4.5 stars next year he will maintain his rating but he is expiring and is really not a championship difference maker upgrade over Morant

Sent from my SM-G960W using RealGM mobile app

He is already 4 stars and just had a career high in PPG/efficiency. He’s likely getting a upgrade

I’m giving you a one time opportunity to be a championship contender and you’re only worried about the “future” :noway:

I know many of us want to win, but there can only be one winner. What are you doing to make sure that winner will be you? Those teams have set the bar and it’s gonna be a wake up call for a lot of us who think we’re ready when the sim says otherwise.

I’m just trying to help when I point this out. Success in this sim don’t come easy. The rest of us got work to do! Don’t sleep.

The short sided approach is what you are proposing. We are only one season away from the reset and then everything could change. If I don't win it all this season; having 550 dollars in cap space along with Luka, Zion, Harris, Bey, Bagley, Killian, Gay etc locked up will make for a exciting off season in 2022.

Panic trades are not the way to go with such a huge free agent class coming our way.

It’s not a bad proposal though. I’m not suggesting it to teams that don’t have a shot at all, or even teams that are two years away from competing. I’m suggesting it to teams that may be a move or two away from winning it all. No panic trades either. Just smart ones that can make the difference between winning or losing a game 7.

NewEra you gotta remember everyone ain't playing for the championship. Some of us playing for the FA ranking ahead of the reset. I inherited a weird ass team that was about to fall off hard. Best chance I got is the free agency next year combined with Ben Simmons and all the young guys I got coming off career years.
