1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.
Most fun draft in a while, if I didnt get TP I wouldve made an agressive move to get Marcus Smart, something about a game manager that plays defense that intrigues me.

I've been rosterbating non stop since the TP trade. Lot of people balked at the value but its just pretty clear they dont know ball.

2013-14 Offseason Questionnaire

I know Jokic is going to be awesome, but Embiid is the guy. He is the one this draft will be remembered for and he will be like KG but even better scoring. an all time great. Hopefully he isn't slowed down by injury too much. call me a Jayhawk whore but I'm also curious to see how Wiggins develops I like him

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
Very sad to lose TA in FA, but it was going to be him or mahinmi and he didn't accept my offer on day 1 so what can you do? If I accept his rich 5 year re sign offer and he goes down in TC this year or next there's a chance that contract really fucks my long term flexibility. Not a fun decision. I was happy to get fab oberto on MLE, I think this may be our largest assed FC since the stocky mountain days

3. Thoughts on TC? What improvements do you want to see from your team?
Already kinda happened whoops but we were just crossing fingers to hold the line as the squad is already developed and contending, and for the most part that was the case. Melo ticked down in defense and Monta ticked up in rebounding and which was interesting

4. Who wins each division and why?

Atlantic: sixers. Bron. Dally. Yum.
Central: pistons. the KD core bucks will give them a run, but Kyrie is still too much to overcome for the retooling Bulls and upstart Raps.
Midwest: spurs. who tf knows. I bet there are 4 50-win teams in the Midwest this year. Spurs, Jazz, Mavs, us, Rockets all look scary. Can rockets hopes LIV on without the former MVP??
Pacific: Suns. Loved that deal for Conley and Oden. Really shored up their defense. Kings and clips are both very fun as well and I think the blazers are probably the boring but obvious pick.

5. There have been a ton of blockbuster trades this offseason. Which team made the best trade? Why?
Give me the Bulls side of the Dalembert deal. I obviously love Dalembert. I raised him and he was an OG NDL Grand Rapids Golden Goose. But I think like 90% of his skills can be had for the MLE pretty much every offseason so I would love 2 firsts + 2 not nothing players for that kind of player.

6. Predict Jokic's rookie season statline.
22-9-6 with .465/.800/.250 and 2.0 stocks, 2.5 TO

7. What previously low-impact player is going to break out this season?
Jerryd Bayless. It's his fucking year

8. With the current champs blowing it up, predict the finals matchup in 14-15, the winner and number of games.
Spurs vs Bucks, Spurs in 6

9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).

I'm so excited for the nfl to be back I can't properly describe it. I already love all the chiefs rookies like they are my own children. people gon learn about Jaden hicks.

10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.
The jinx season 2 is pretty crazy. Amazing follow up to season 1

1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.
Feel super fortunate to have won the lotto and unlocked Embiid's stip in scouting. Excited to see him sim. Jokic is going to be awesome, too. I was pretty happy to land Galloway in the late teens, he's got a fun sleeper build. I'm also bullish on Lavine and Capela, will be fun to track their growth

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
Happy with the offseason. I think Embiid can be the best player in SLN in due time. Had a few S&Ts fall through (due to guys signing elsewhere), but still picked up first round draft capital and a bunch of RP along the way, so no complaints. Goal is to stink this season and next before (hopefully) flipping the switch!

3. Thoughts on TC? What improvements do you want to see from your team?
Stale but we had four guys go a combined +16 (Embiid, Dipo, Burke, Galloway) so I was thrilled

4. Who wins each division and why?

Atlantic: Sixers, Bron
Central: Bucks, KD
Midwest: Nuggets, Melo
Pacific: Suns, Tyler

5. There have been a ton of blockbuster trades this offseason. Which team made the best trade? Why?
Honestly didn't pay enough attention but I liked that the Heat added Wade. Art imitates life

6. Predict Jokic's rookie season statline.
17-9-5 with 1.5 stocks / 3.5 TO

7. What previously low-impact player is going to break out this season?
D Rose after the jump to A Inside

8. With the current champs blowing it up, predict the finals matchup in 14-15, the winner and number of games.
Nuggets-Sixers, with Denver winning in 7

9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).
GO NY GO NY GO! Hope the Knicks can close out the Pacers tonight. Would love to watch Knicks-Celtics at MSG if that happens

10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.
Rewatching Arrested Development. It's the best. Her?
