Hornets trade seems interesting, getting two FRPs for a backup is a no brainer

It really is! I'm still exploring other options though, as much as I like draft picks, I also want the players that'll fit my team also since drafts are super uncertain, that package is very interesting though, just what I would be looking for (a backup/young Center + draft compensation).

Great record. Starting Tillman over Jonas, how's that going for you?

Thanks, and it's going not too bad! Obviously Jonas is better at this point of time, he's basically a double-double threat off the bench, but I feel the starting five is way more balanced with him on the bench. I feel Jonas would've taken opportunities from Jaren and the others since he is pretty good on both sides of the floor. Xavier is okay at the moment but Jonas is just more polished overall currently. I do like the idea of starting two rookies though (Bane and Tillman). Hopefully Tillman improves a lot in the offseason!

Just caught up on this thread. Pretty amazing start for the Grizz and like that you opened the franchise up with two expansion teams. Plenty of talent in the league to go around for two additional squads.

Ja Morant is on an absolute mission it seems and he's almost like a cheat code out there on offense. I haven't played 2k since 2k11 but attempted a franchise with the Grizz the season before they draft Morant and man was that a disaster of a team. Would have been way more enjoyable having Ja on the roster for sure!

Best of luck going forward and looking forward to seeing how you get the most out of JJJ.

You've been playing well with Brandon Clarke. What plays or sets are you running with him or for him?
