I got my power rankings in finally. I probably got way different rankings than most. Biggest shock? I got the Mavs taking the West.

I honestly don't see that as a shock. I think Portland and Dallas are clear favorites, and most GMs will have one of them coming out the Western Conference while Cleveland maintains their spot as favorite in the East. But anything can happen.

While we're very happy to win our first bubble chip, there's one thing that keeps me up at night and it's bringing another BAF chip to our city. That's the goal now, and we'll do what ever it takes to get there! - Warriors GM, NewEra


To all those who congratulated, and wished us well:

Going into the power rankings I thought the Pels, Clippers, and Portland were all better.

If that's not an upset though how about not having Hoffa top 10 even with Edward's breakout and Buddy returning back to form most likely being in the sim?

lol I like Charlotte's team though. Morant's a bad man. Edwards is a bad man. Capela is solid and will get love in Sim. I also like Thybulle quite a bit. Add Ingram, etc and they'll make noise for sure. They were a playoff team for a reason. Plus Ja has taken his game to the next level. John Wall signing was probably a mistake, but the sim will ultimately be the judge of that. Off top of my head I think they're top ten, but I haven't done my rankings yet so we'll see where they fall.

Mobley is a monster. Cleveland has some fun pieces (K-Dot as well).

I want to see Sengun with 25-30 mins per game minimum for a stretch to see what he can do. Defense is the most shocking though… I thought he was going to get cooked on a regular basis :lol:

Agreed. It's very surprising. Like Mobley, he's very efficient with his movements but he's not as athletic.

You hit a home run on that pick bro. He’s a special player with exceptional toughness who can do just about everything out there.

Now you just need to waive all those vets you have so a contender can pick them up. Word on the street is they’re not trying to be a part of a rebuild and it’s causing negative vibes in the locker room. That can’t be good for your young studs :)
