Terrible trade for the Pelicans. Why would they accept that?

It was 1.7, 1.24 and then a 22 year old 74 overall with A+ dev, and the Raptors 2023 pick which as far as they knew would be early, since I had picked in the top 5 for 3 straight years. They probably wouldn't accept in real life, but that's what got it done. 

The Pelicans also took a SG #1 overall last year and he's a stud. 

Not trying to defend the trade, but those are just the details

Who the heck is Westphal? I don't even remember you drafting the guy.

I did two drafts last night, I took Westphal #4 overall in the first one. He is a good prospect and will be an elite perimeter D player, but will be limited offensively. He was pretty raw in a meh class, but he was one of two A+ players. 

Westphal probably would have gone top 5 in this past draft, so you can look at it as trading a top 5 pick, 1.7, 1.24, and a 1st the next year.

Just read this all in one go.  Pretty interesting.  You're backcourt is about to be dominant.

Yeah, I think next year I will have a legit shot at the #1 seed and a title. Everyone is going to hit their stride at the right time, and I might have 2 or 3 players in the 90s

That's a typo. I had to do a double take. Thinking to myself (there's no way he's not older than that already IRL)

Thanks! I had it right in the contracts chart, but must have missed changing that. Appreciate it. (he's 36)

I held the 3rd seed and then blew it with a  5 game losing streak to end the season. That is a real kick in the nuts. Is it though... I play the Bucks instead of the 76ers who would probably kick my ***.

That Lakers pick worked out as they are a bottom 7 team, so I'll more than likely have a top 7 pick to go along with a Warriors low lottery and hopefully Spurs pick in the teens. I probably won't pick 3 times this draft though.

I realized as I was putting this together than I hadn't adjusted my offensive settings... I still had McKnight - Bullard - Trent as the first 3 offensive options. I'm sure Robertson would have had a better year had I adjusted that.

Going into the playoffs I changed the offensive option #1 to Darius, and #2 to McKnight

Playoffs

I haven't commented on how I will be doing this, but I will run this the same as my last one. I will play the first elimination game for either side, and then game 7 - UNLESS  it goes to a game 6. I'm not going to play the 3-2 game and game 7. I am honestly pretty bad at the game so I don't want to lose 2 in a row cause I suck and screw my boys over. In this case I will play game 6. I much prefer the sim aspects of this, but I'd like to get a feel for these players. If I really hate someone I will plot to get rid of them. 

First year in the playoffs, woo! I have a first round match-up with the Bucks

I think I match up pretty well with them. They have the best player in the NBA, but I outrank them at every other position.

Close game. The Raptors lose game 1, as is tradition. I'm going to adjust the minutes to give the stars a few more I think. 33 and 30 isnt enough for my 2 best players.

Victor Trent has killed it so far this series. I can't wait to play a user game and get a feel for his style. I know he can shoot mid range and has a really good post game, but I didn't think he would play this big of a factor, especially when I assume my back court would dominate for me

I guess as expected this is a close series. I'm still waiting for that dominant performance from someone

This is the first game I have played with any of these players, so let me go over the team.

  • Kris Bullard is awesome. The guy can shoot and he is FAST. I love him. He has one of the best shot animations you could ask for
  • Donell McKnight I used mostly for corner 3s off pick and roll's. The guy is money and has a great shot
  • VIctor Trent has really strong post moves and he's an easy score if you need one.
  • Darius Robertson had 18 points. He's an all around player. I'm not great like I said, but I'm sure he will be a star going forward. 
  • I didn't use Coleman much, but he had 24 rebounds and 4 steals. He is a big boy and grabs everything
  • This is the most important one. Nate Greene is a lefty and has the worst shot motion ever. He is absolute trash. I will NOT be re-signing him, and I will strongly consider trading him next year. I literally hate him more than herpes
  • I'm drunk
