You got it Spurs, Warriors, Thunder, Clippers right?

You're on the list now. Especially after you took Batum also.

L.S.S. — y’all experts might not know wtf y’all talking bout, same way I didn’t.

My power rankings last off-season pre ratings drop (after the ratings drop I told MPH in a PM I think he got it, DEF ratings were very generous to him):

Spoiler:

Pooch's tank makes it look worse than it is lol.

Gimme Konchar before I do something hasty like sign Terry Taylor.

I look forward to seeing on how I get screwed over, usually always happens. Zion 2 star with a 5 star potential perhaps :lol:

Fixed. I'm still not sure what you're going with as a strategy with these guys but I'm high on their individual ratings for sure lol.

free agency wasn't kind to me as I had too many 3.5 star type guys to retain and not enough cap space to do so and lost more than I hoped while I got tied up in an ill-advised bidding war on Nurk. I wrote off Middleton and knew AD meant losing Derozan but was hoping to retain Harris. So we're going to have to go with a top heavy approach. My past teams with 4 to 5 guys rated 3.5 stars and a couple of guys at 3 always go swept aside by teams with 5 star talent in the playoffs so gambling a highly rated duo will bring better playoff results.

Dejounte 5
AD 4.5/5
Nurkic 3.5
Dinwiddie 2.5/3
Drummond 2.5
Burks 2.5
Tate 2.5
Graham 2 / 2.5
Little 2 / 2/5

Exactly I've already completed the damn spreadsheet lol.

I was thinking it would be dope if Bish had a “Mark Tatum” to his Adam Silver. We all know he’s the G.O.A.T and could handle all this by himself, but it’ll probably make his job a bit easier. Wonder if he ever considered it?

E-Balla · Post #595 » by **E-Balla** » Sun Nov 20, 2022 10:39 pm

Screw the star ratings I'm more wondering who will have:

The most 80+ shooters
The most 90+ finishers
The most 60+ scorers
The most 70+ defenders
The most 70+ handles
The most 60+ passers
The most 70+ rebounders

Much better at determining team strength.

I wouldn’t mind, but the candidate would probably have to be someone who never had any affiliation with the game. Wonder how old Bish Jr. is now. Might wanna train him up :lol:

When doing power rankings I took midseason trades into account. I can see y'all killing it after 1/15 when you're allowed to deal your guys. Y'all should be able to float around .500 until then off talent alone.

So, I'm dying to see what the cancel line through Giddey means. You don't have cap space to take back a bigger salary so I'm dying to what kind of low-salary package could have led to moving him (unless you are trolling us with your signature and I took the bait).

Wackbone consolidating a young talent or two with nice picks since he has more assets than he will have roster spots in the near future?

Consolidation will definitely be in the cards come January 15th.
