You need to remember to say, "Tronicade... Tornicade.... Tornicade..." :chuckle:

(1 trade, 1 FA in 4 yrs - FA Booker $13M/yr) = It's the Farm System!

How in Christ's name did the Warriors even beat me out for a playoff spot. They weren't even trying

God damnit do I suck at building a bball team

Wow I made the Finals! I think I might have done an OK job picking a team with growth and that's without my super secret plans

It took four years for my guys to grow into a championship team, that's another reason why I posted it (other than the sheer dominance). I didn't take many this far, but I got a couple interesting bumps and decided to go with it and see what happened. At the time I had 3 DI PO R guys and 3 As in the starting lineup and was curious what that would look like. Not much outside shooting but there are a multitude of ways to win I guess.

I've played quite a few season and had some very dominating teams in the 18 mos or so I've fooled with this game, and I have still yet to go through the playoffs without losing a game.
 
Not worried about this summers sim. My team is setup for the next 2 to 3 years if the boys stay healthy

It's kinda quiet on here so and I'm really trying to procrastinate so I'm going to make a couple observations...

One -> Don't trust the ratings. Your scouting is very fallible - your margin of error is probably +/-3.5 pts. So that 55 could just as easily be a 51 or 58. Your really should watch your PER. BUT.... PER doesn't capture D very well. It's probably useful to check your +/- (as much as it pains me to say it) for a better read on the D players. As near as I can tell D is about athleticism (str, spd, jump, etc.) and something you can't see. No defensive awareness fudge....

Two-> Someone asked about tanking suggesting it would be painless. While I think we're all playing in the same size city and media market, that's only to start. You can pick up or drive down your fanbase's interest through the season. their interest will seed you with cash to pay for FA. You lose, you will see your coffers shrink, and it will take a while to build the fanbase up. They are VERY fickle about prices in my exp. You can't just pump up the ticket price unless you're already selling everything out and have been for a while. Then you have enough pent up demand to survive a (I don't know the corollary since this league has such a higher cap, but ... ) $5 increase in ticket prices without losing any attendance. But if you're at say, 15K, you might actually want to drop your price for a while to build demand then raise it a couple times while your team is winning. At least early on. If you build enough of a legacy, there becomes a sturdier demand it would seem. The guy -- a biologist iirc -- made a pretty sophisticated simulation...

I've been playing around a bit and after my second season NBA finals appearance and 30mill of cap space i built a much better team, but i neglected the defense of the starters and got slammed the first 30 games of next season. it really is sophisticated. I do worry about how stagnent free agency will be though with all bird rights.
 
nvm

Coming soon to a 6th seed near you...

PG: Mudiay / Joseph / Harrison
SG: Hield / Williams
SF: Winslow / Young
PF: Kanter / Aminu / Yabusele
C: Cousins / Asik / Plumlee

Pretty confident with my team. We won't win it all in year one, but I have a ton of young guys who can grow together, and guys with a bit more service time (Aminu, Joseph, Williams) to help back up the young guns if they aren't immediately ready to play starter minutes. Cousins is the leader, which could either be a good thing, or a train wreck. I'm praying that Winslow can turn into a star and then at least one of Mudiay/Hield turns into a very good starter. I know what I'm getting with Kanter and Cousins, so rooks/sophs are going to be the guys that make or break my franchise.​
