Thanks, probably implementing a Wizards beat writer into the universe that ties together Wizard events to the league similar to what you do what help give additional context why Tarris Marshall would be a D Grade.

In a perfect world, Kuzma and Avdija will each attract a First Rounder this season and be moved allowing Bilal and Marshall to become the starting 3 & 4. They both have 3-years remaining on their deals so I'm not desperate to move them if the market isn't there.

What's the buzz around OG, since he arrived in NYK not too long ago but has declined his player option?

He was one of the final names I cut from the list since the only teams in play for him barring a S&T scenario would be New York and Philadelphia.

He joined the Knicks at the trade deadline (opposed to late December like he did in real-life) and the team never got out of play-in contention. They finished 35-47 on the year and lost to Brooklyn in the final play-in game. So while they didn't achieve good team success in Year One, New York is still going to throw an open check book at him in hopes of retaining him.

Philadelphia has considerable money but I'm sure they'll prioritize PG13, Siakam, and Derozan before OG. Other teams that have cap space but wouldn't sign him are Orlando who has Franz - Paolo and Detroit who has Ausar, traded for Harrison Barnes and drafted Chase Dennard at #2.

Pascal in Atlanta will be fascinating. Was ATL the better choice than DAL? Either way, not being the primary scorer is great for him.

DeRozan basically takes over the Harris role in Philly. I wonder how that will play out. He's a more consistent scorer, probably needs the ball more, and isn't as good on defense.

For sign & trades, I like to make identical offers to the players in another save and then I'll send the player to the team with the most interest. Siakam's interest with ATL was 65 while DAL was 56, mostly because the Hawks finished as the 1-Seed while the Mavs outright missed the playoffs.

I thought myself that Dallas would be the more intriguing destination but I'm already so hands-on for trades so it's fun to leave this kind of move up to fate.
