That's why I'm glad I didn't take pacers when I had a chance. Too much pressure to perform well. At least with my group it's okay foe me to **** up as many times as I have lol

Man if I had the options to take the Pacers I'd be all over it. One of Zion/Luka would've been shipped this offseason (probably Zion) but I'd have focused on fit more than anything else.

Instead I got OKC and had to rely on breaking the sim and praying I don't fumble the FA next year lol.

You'd've probably got a better return for Mitchell, too.

You're not kidding. You've had a particularly massive schedule. Mine's been tough as well, though there are a lot of good teams. I've got Milwaukie in game 2 today and you in game 1 tomorrow. Curious if there is anything to this back to back dock.

No easy wins in the west. Yeah looks like we got a back to back tomorrow too against Brooklyn, I never noticed if players play much worse in the sim in back to backs, it'll be interesting to see.

Even with Luka and/or Zion you still have to worry about fumbling free agency. When top players like Mitchell and KAT are not good fits, how do you know who will be?

I am going to give it my best guess; then see what SIM God thinks....

I’ve traded TJ Warren.

Sim gave him the Dinwiddie treatment for real with that unfair rating, and I realized I can’t afford to wait around until he goes back to normal next season. If kept by his new team, he’s a really nice high value stash with bird rights.

With that said, I’ve also acquired a pick and opened up a small chunk of cap space. Holla at me if you have an All-Star you’re looking to give away :-)

Lol I spent the whole offseason studying previous seasons... I have some ideas and KAT would've stayed. 100% unless I had cap problems.

I probably would've found a way to screw pacers up lol.

I love Donovan Mitchell. But he wouldn't make sense to keep with doncic. I would've been torn. Doncic is OP

They were a underachieving 6th seed last season. Even with the SIM running all their lineups that makes no sense. Unless you think a 6th seed is special, they were screwed up last season in my opinion.
