2020-21 Offseason Questionnaire

1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.
Wasnt super tuned into to the draft but Jalen Suggs going to the NDL has to juice him up more than what he was supposed to be, interested to see how he develops vs the rest of the guys taken at the top

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
Meh, felt like i overpaid for both Bam and Hayward but was honestly scared of fucking my self worse by losing them or having to match a shittier bam contract. Overall i was able to keep my entire core together for this next season which i am pumped about, only time we had everyone healthy i won the bubble so lets see what we can do this year.

Goals are to wheel and deal a little to add more depth and some good role players to surround my core, been tough so far but confident ill extract some value at some point

3. Thoughts on TC?
Jakob having A potential still is wild, idk if thats super off from what his actual potential is but if he can take a solid jump id be very pleased, need bams passing rating to come down and return to sub 2 TO. everyone else should stay consistent

4. Who wins each division and why?

Atlantic: Boston Celtics, Ja super camp
Central: toss up between the pacers and bulls for me, like both the teams a ton and trust the GMs to do good shit with them boys. ill give it to Bulls because luka is a DAWG
Midwest: Timberwolves, idk dont like anyone
Pacific: Come on now...... theres only 1 answer

5. Create the best possible 3 on 3 team in the league using only salaries under $5M - a guard, a wing and a big.
Luka
Tyler Hero (rodney hood if he was rostered)
Larry Sanders

6. Who will be the first GM to have to use the Amnesty Clause and who will they use it on?
idk who has an amnesty but there are a good amount of shitty contracts out there, id say Jwoo on a contract he takes on

7. The tradewinds are a-blowin! Who WILL and SHOULD be the next superstar to go on the block?
GORDAN HAYWARD, you clowns he is good. someone trade for him

8. By the end of 2022 (two seasons from now), list who you think the top 5 BEST (not most valuable) players in the league will be.

2020-21 Offseason Questionnaire

1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.

Did not look at the draft at all this year because I was traveling (and also the BBL ratings disguises made it tough). Happy that Sharpe turned out to have decent real ratings, haven't had a big butt cooking in the NDL since WCS. I'm kinda low on Sengun but high on Mobley and Cunningham at the top.

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?

Our offseason was super uneventful, we got another cheap resign from Bledsoe which was nice, and snagging Boucher on the MLE should be useful after Roco had a down year. Going to try him at the 3 and see what happens. Hopefully will make another trade or two before the season starts, but that may have to wait until after TC.

3. Thoughts on TC?

Ja's supercamp is by far the most important thing we're tracking in Boston, but Simons will get his last +8 and TLC will get another expensive camp - if he can tick up to C+ rebounding, he may end up earning the starting 3 role over Boucher, we will see.

4. Who wins each division and why?

Atlantic: Celtics! We always bet on green
Central: Pacers - still probably the deepest team after Atlanta and Charlotte lose stars in the offseason but Bulls should give Indiana a good fight
Midwest: I assume the Jazz again? Nobody in this division seems to have any interest in winning it except Ralph
Pacific: Kings - I can't believe they got Cojo back on that contract. I'm PEEVED

5. Create the best possible 3 on 3 team in the league using only salaries under $5M - a guard, a wing and a big.

Luka, Prince, Sanders

6. Who will be the first GM to have to use the Amnesty Clause and who will they use it on?

Vancouver might have to use it on Ingram :\

7. The tradewinds are a-blowin! Who WILL and SHOULD be the next superstar to go on the block?

Oden

8. By the end of 2022 (two seasons from now), list who you think the top 5 BEST (not most valuable) players in the league will be.

Luka
Jamal Murray
Myles Turner
Fultz
Lamelo Ball

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

Watching Joe Milton to go supersaiyan and lose the Pats the first overall pick was bittersweet to say the least. We should just trade him for the same package we would have traded the #1 overall pick for and then no harm, no foul... Milton is a top 10 starting QB in the NFL on a 6th round rookie deal, he's worth more than Sanders and Ward put together. Or we keep Milton as bait to get Vrabel back to New England. Ugh. At least the Celtics are doing what they're supposed to

10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.

Just finished Black Doves - I'd give it a 7 out of 10. I also liked Dune Prophecy even though critics were kinda mixed on it. Definitely in the market for something new

Bummed to lose conley. wish one of my MLEs hit but luck is not on my side right now. Finally made a trade after a 3 season hiatus.

everyone’s a bust besides Hauser!

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
can’t complain it’s been filled with champagne.

i tried trading Tyreke the Freke and legit no one wanted him! for the life of me i can’t figure it out! the guys is a BALLER, doesn’t have bad seasons, and is on a good contract. cost controlled under 20m. doesn’t balloon on you. anyways i’m thankful he’s now a hawk for life

Draft was super fun this year with all the unknown around Lavars/Rapidraft ratings. Feel like my pick at #9 was just outside the clear top 7 or so guys. Still liked Reaves' notes and think he'll become solid with his force down to the NDL. Wanted Suggs or Franz to fall.

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
Sad Jarrett Allen was poached, thought there were better players for teams with cap space to bid on so got a little to cute with his resigning offer. He also hasn't gotten the best TC dice rolls so maybe for the best. Been actively poking around for deals but nothings stuck yet. We'll make a move sooner then later.

3. Thoughts on TC?
Ant keeps getting better. Naz looking super fun. Maxey only took a small step with ratings but hope he got better under the hood. Hoping Deni can become a viable SF so Shabz can move back to SG where his reb is a major advantage

4. Who wins each division and why?

Atlantic: Magic, super close between them and the Knicks. Full season of AG and still has studs like Book and Kawhi. If Steph wasn't named Steph I wonder where in the PG rankings he'd land
Central: Hawks, Hornets close 2nd. Last year for the Hawks in the central before the Hornets take over. DJ at center will be a major upgrade and funnel even more shots to Tyreke and KD.
Midwest: Griz. Think the Jazz take a small step back without Oden. Weakest division in the league this year.
Pacific: Lakers. Kyrie is still the best player in SLN and PG's gains from the pep talk appear to be permanent

5. Create the best possible 3 on 3 team in the league using only salaries under $5M - a guard, a wing and a big.
Luka, Anthony Edwards, Gobert

6. Who will be the first GM to have to use the Amnesty Clause and who will they use it on?
76ers on Gobert. Then Jwoo on Siakam.

7. The tradewinds are a-blowin! Who WILL and SHOULD be the next superstar to go on the block?
KAT or Giannis

8. By the end of 2022 (two seasons from now), list who you think the top 5 BEST (not most valuable) players in the league will be.
Anthony Edwards
Tyrese Maxey
Luka
Shai
Jamal Murray

9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).
Commanders had the best season of my lifetime so excited to see if they can make a little run in the playoffs. This season has been so far ahead of their rebuild schedule anything else will be gravy on top. Caps are surprisingly at the top of the NHL, fun to still be competitive during the Ovis chase for the record. Wiz finally fully embracing the tank with the worst record in the league.

10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.
Rivals with the SLN bros has been great. Monopoly deal over Christmas break was a fun new game
