Criticize my bench if you want. That's the only weak spot. Didn't put a ton of thought into that group.
you tabbed him as good and lilliard your franchise guy. stop backpedaling.verb_to_trust wrote:I picked Kawhi
Lillard is a franchise guy. Sometimes that guy isn't the best player on his team. See: Durant/Curryspike wrote:you tabbed him as good and lilliard your franchise guy. stop backpedaling.verb_to_trust wrote:I picked Kawhi
I don't judge Giannis' playoff record too harshly since he has never really had a coach before. He's averaged a 25/9/5 the last two trips as well.verb_to_trust wrote:I picked Kawhi over Giannis so the team could win in the playoffs.

The Bucks have one good season and all of the sudden Aaron Rogers human butt plug is a basketball expert.
Can he shoot yet? He's not going to dunk his way to the Finals.Monkey_Driven wrote:I don't judge Giannis' playoff record too harshly since he has never really had a coach before.

He scored 25 points a game last year in the playoffs without being able to shoot. This isn't Fultz or Ben Simmons.verb_to_trust wrote:Can he shoot yet?

They're not title favorites, but he's at least surrounded by shooters this season. They'll win at least a round or two. Their record has fallen back to earth a bit these past two months.verb_to_trust wrote:He still can't shoot enough to win anything.Monkey_Driven wrote:He scored 25 points a game last year in the playoffs without being able to shoot.

I don't know anything about Siakam. Since he plays PF I'm assuming he is not a 3-pt shooting threat.verb_to_trust wrote:Okay I'm bored and can't sleep.
GM--I'm not going to pick a GM since you want this to be somewhat realistic. Garpax will never be fired. The Bulls are run like a mom and pop store. John made a three once so he can't be fired. Ever. For the purposes of my roster selection I will assume Garpax's number one priority will be not to go over the salary cap, which is projected at 109 million next season.
Coach--A coach I've learned to admire that I could definitely see as a Bulls type hire would be Erik Spoelstra. How much longer can he be in Miami? Seems like things have run their course down there for him.
PG- Dame Lillard (30 million). He's everything I want in my franchise player. He has a certain dignity guys like Durant and Irving can't pull off. Is he good enough as a franchise player to win a title? No, but he's the kind of guy I'd ride with anyway.
SG-Bradley Beal (26 mil). I like Beal. Pretty sure he hates Wall. I hate Wall too.
C- Jarrett Allen (2.5 mil) Rim running defensive big who improved from year one.
PF- Pascal Siakam (2.5 mil) I like his game.
SF- Kawhi Leonard (21.5). He's good.
Bench: Derrick Rose, Malik Beasley, Bam Abedayo, Derrick Jones Jr., Taj Gibson
Late round draft guy in this year's really shitty draft? Kevin Porter Jr. - USC. Supposedly has attitude problems. His shot form is a little clunky looking but he has the right body. I bet he goes mid first round so not sure if that's a deep enough cut for you.

You think the Pacers can take them out?
