2k kinda buggin, but regardless it's proving my point that my team isn't quite ready yet. We're still building, and hope to have it together by mid-season. Not a day goes by without evaluating this organization and you can trust that later will be greater.

I can't complain about the results

two 3rd place finishes
two 5th place finsihes

in a really tough western conference...only got out of the the 1st round once but if I'm on pace for 50+ wins best believe there will be additions come trade deadline.

January 15th. Zion, Bagley, Bey, and Augustin become trade eligible. I have a good feeling about my teams first trade deadline.

Yeah I was just playing around with different lineups. Really didn’t take it for more than just seeing how to rotate my bigs. Noel will definitely have a significant role.

.....

Watch out Pooch I'm coming for that ass. One more starter away from the 50 win group, I'll find a way by midseason.

Overall the results are about what I expect. I'm a play in team with slight upset potential in the first round depending on the matchup. My biggest issue is depth and injuries might take me down a peg if Westbrook or Simmons are out for an extended period of time. That's where teams with a lot of stars have it better. I'm more built for 7 games and not 82 currently but maybe LMA + whoever I can snatch midseason will suffice.

And I'm loving the early Simmons+Westbrook simulation results. On all platforms we've done it on. Looks like Simmons as Draymond works due to his height, passing, defensive rating, and interior scoring. I assumed in 2k he'd be closer to a high 80s overall player at PF than at PG (like an 88 or 89) but I haven't brought the game and I'm not going to most likely.

I don't really trust BAF and 2K to give the same results. My plan for 2K is to use Doncic at SG or SF; and maybe even a little PF and Zion at C. But not at PG.

With BAF I will probably play Doncic at PG/SG/SF and see what gives me the best results for my team balance. I need Zion's efficiency and dynamic scoring. What ever it takes to get him there is the lineup I will go with. With Doncic having a 5 star rating, I trust he will get his no matter where he is penciled in at.
