Surprising given that the last one was basically chalk and you couldn't find a good player after #6. I don't know if the AI follows the same rules that i do, but if they do, maybe their scouts are just bad? A bad scout can be +/-40% on ratings, IIRC, as opposed to +/-5 or 10% for the good ones.

Your bench seems really heavy on bigs. I don't see a decent backup PG on the roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before i turned off the game, i took a look at potential trades for Leonard. I think i can get a 70 something PG if i'm willing to eat some other contracts or maybe throw in a draft pick. My focus is going to be to find a PG though, since right now the main backup is Vin Hill, and he's starting at SG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't look like Bradford is going to get any playing time at this point and he's already 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a little room currently. 5.61M this season, and currently 8.31 next season. It really opens up after that with a lot of contracts off the books. I'll also have decisions to make on Vin Hill and Oliver Gatling next off-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect i'll be able to get someone worthwhile with just Leonard, even if it's just a 1 or 2 year stopgap. I'd like to hang onto Bradford, since he's the primary backup at C. When i actually play a game, i noticed that i need at least front court backups to chew up minutes since the bigs bump and grind a lot and lose stamina fast. But sim logic may not really take that into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana James could start easily, and i could use both guys to find a backup PG/SG. I wouldn't mind if Soto played ~10-12 mpg either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE DUKE Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 Could be the Gatson and Goodman era as Burke and McGuire start to decline. Going full on early Tim Duncan spurs when he paired with the Admiral. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theJ Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Got a few interesting offers for Meyers Leonard, including one where i package him with Dana James and get Shane Slay, an 83 OVR 26 yo PG. But he's getting 12M/year, probably make him one of the more expensive 6th men in the league. Also got offers for a 29 yo 77 OVR PG, with one year left on his deal. Jeremy Lin and a young-ish 71 OVR C. Reggie Jackson and Javale McGee (still three years left on his deal). This is the one i'm settling on: Magic Meyers Leonard Raptors Lance O'Neal 2nd Round 2021 Lance has one year left on his deal, and can pass and defend. Exactly what i need out of that spot.

theJ Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 BTW, this is some weird alternate reality where Lebron James actually stays with the same team for a decade. He's still with the Heat. About the only big player to not change teams during this whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
