Took a hit for this season choosing to sell Dejounte at his peak sim value and buying Dame at his lowest sim value. Gambling that stepping back from fighting for third in the East this year will help bring closer to fighting for a title in the future. If he's not 4.5 or 5 next season, the game is defective. Definitely miss Dejounte and didn't think I'd ever part with him. Hopefully the gamble pays off in the next few years.

You might win the East if you figure out that optimal rotation so the move was worth it. Basically we're all hoping to catch MPH slipping with an injury at this point. If you're not in the position to take advantage of that you might as well tank. I think you're right there with Hoffa now with a reduced rotation if healthy.

This man just told you he punted on this season to maximize his shot as a true championship contender for next season and beyond. You immediately proceed to sell him wolf tickets for this season.

You’s a wild one! :lol:

Only cake people will be getting off of me is some of my left over celebration cake after I whoop that ass. I am 6 - 1 with a healthy DeRozan playing. This includes a bad loss to Charlotte and a good win against Portland.

Its time to get my playoff lineup going to make a push for the 1st seed in the East. :clap:

Good day. Hoffa lost to the one team I can't catch, NewEra beat Denver who's been on my ass, and we beat a solid Clippers squad.

Now I need Dallas to drop a few. I need a cushion lol.

A nice bounce back game against a talented Bucks team. All the Pacers major players had a part in this one. Its extremely promising to see DeRozan with a good outing. Brook with 5 blocks made his presence felt on the defensive end.

Good game BR/Bucks

Despite trading Dray; and DeRozan missing multiple games, Pacers are holding steady with the 6th ranked defense and 10th ranked offense.

Cleveland not playing Bam is interesting. A very strong win against Boston with him sitting.
