He’s developed into an elite scorer now. Had some huge games in the playoffs and it’s carried over into this season where’s he’s having his best season yet
I know. He's an IRL player I really like.
Maybe he likes post focus too. I usually played grind but I tried a LOT of things to get him going and nothing worked.

GG Cap! I’m clearly going to have to do some tinkering with the rotations, playing style, etc.
Gordon said 100 DEF means nothing to me
That was Hezi. I used to have Gordon and he was hot trash for me.

That might be it. He’s done well in my offense and obviously his outside shot is much improved now so I expect him to do even better than last year

Malik Beasley $78/2, just went 7-8 from 3 in sim
Reasonably priced flamethrower off the bench for any contenders, at least until the feds lock him up irl.

Some upsets on night one. Miles McIverson takes down the 4x champs with a little help from Donovan and Pooch's mercenary gang taking down the new paper juggernaut Hornets. SGA needing to shake off an Unbearable All Encompassing Burden of Immense Sadness.
Phoenix over Houston also surprised me. Memphis... not surprising but a convincing win that shows they will not be pushovers any longer.

Pretty much everyone did exactly their job tonight.
De'Aaron Fox - 21/6/12
Pascal Siakam - 29/4/4
Dyson Daniels - 17/2/5 with 5 steals
OG and Lively doing the dirty work with 18 combined rebounds.
33 points off the bench.
If we do that every night I like our chances!

Apparently I was out of the loop, didn't even realize I missed much. I still saw the headline of the announcement on page 56 and missed everything 
That's on me, my bad.

Looks like Larsson was signed/released several times after you let him go so you're not the only one.
They will take a year to pay off (hopefully!) but clearing roster spots to grab Larsson and Gillespie on $1/4 deals might be the best moves I've made so far.

Big stat for me was 37 minutes. 50.7 and 48.8% so far.
Fears having a solid season with 15.7 ppg, 1.8 steals, 2.6 assists per game, and shooting 35.7% from 3 as a starter. Needs to improve as a playmaker but I'm pretty happy so far
