Build a Franchise (Season 5)- Discussion thread

[bringbackhoffa]

But went to the SIM finals the year before that

And comes into this season having received that bump we all know he deserves

and lost and then lost again... i dont see a winner.. might as well waive him

Some would've moved on, but I got some time for the back and forth

Hornets didn't make the playoffs until recent. Should your team have waived you?

i should of been fired after the initial draft when my best player was Jabari Parker and i traded a first rounder to just get rid of Willy Hermongomez... but at least i have made it to the second round, which some teams have yet to experience..

See what happened there? I threw you the alley and you finished it. Point proven. Failure isn't final.
This is the comeback year for Embiid in SIM.

i would have to say my best move in the game is taking Morant over RJ.. i had such a huge canadian bias wanting to take RJ, but im glad I trusted the eye test and chose Morant.

Biggest regret probably drafting Bamba 4th overall with Trae on the board, but I am not sure if Pooch would have taken JJJ 5th then, and i then likely take Bamba 6th overall, giving me Trae and Bamba and then passing on Morant and taking RJ the next year so hindsight is hindsight.

another deal i really like is trading an expiring Siakam for the 2nd overall pick which turned into Antman, probably will build my offense around him next offseason..

Some of y'all are beasts at scouting and drafting the right player. One day I wanna experience that. I mean, I did draft Thybulle (25th I think). I was going for Herro, but he was taken right before Thy. But I wanna experience drafting top 5 one day. It'll have to come through owning someone's pick though cause this brother ain't about that tanking life

just bench your starting line up this year..

Definitely don't think it makes me favorite out west, I don't have comparable top end talent or 3+ star players but I like how it gives me an official #1 guy I've never had. I'm basically banking on specific ratings being high on my role guys. It was really hard to give away Jaylen because I've denied a bunch of trades with him in it (besides Harden involved ones). If I didn't make the trade I was just going to extend him after the offseason.

mph hacking my lineup decisions though, that's probably what I'm going with (even though it's obvious) - I really like how it looks on paper/real NBA but the sim is the great equalizer. All I know is I have to compete night in and night out against a tough west.. making top 4 isn't going to be as easy as last year (and last year was hard as ****).

Well said SOUL. But besides winning a chip, I'd love nothing more than seeing you in the first round again.

We got some unfinished business.

Considering you have the Rays, Panthers, and Magic as your teams you seem like someone that likes the tough route to a championship.. this maybe your year

Cheering for stressful/soul destroying teams are my specialty

Rookie question but why do my messages sit in the outbox instead of going straight to the sent folder? It irritates me

ROBIN?!?!?!?!??!!!!

my best player was Jabari Parker

lowkey loved that for you too. Shot 47% from 3 last year and 44% from 3 this year and is a good rebounder. Should give you quality minutes off the bench.

I think this is the latest wolvervine studios has come out with its final ratings, they must really be struggling on Whiteside

I'll never recover from missing out on Jordan Poole.
