The updates probably going to be not as text heavy next season. Or maybe they will be. Nobody knows what's going to happen in the future.

Yay, so many of you have retired that I can get away with two parts to the season preview.

Teams and Players

I'm not going to provide commentary this preview, but I encourage Cafites to ad-lib.

Solius has been released by the Knicks, in a clear case of age discrimination. He should technically be good enough for a team, so he might get picked up.

Excerpt from PepperBailly's first post-trade interview with EPSN:

What drew you to the Bucks?

In a word: the salons.

With hair like mine, I can't afford to hang round in a city where hair care isn't a top priority. After a succession of in-depth discussions with my sponsors at Estée Lauder, and a survey of the US's best cities for male grooming, we discovered that Milwaukee has more salons per square foot than the rest of the country combined.

After that, it was an easy decision. Since stepping off the plane, it's been a nonstop glow-up.

And what about your new team?

Eh.
 
Should have bowed out with grace like most of the rest of us

Looks like Heine spent too much off season partying.
 
Im not hungover, its just a headache ;-)

Our depth had always been bad, but it is really non excisting now

It's about to get worse when Sonius probably doesn't sign a new contract at the end of the season. You're 50/50. Basically it's all about the facilities. When you've won 5 rings already you'd much rather not have to work in a dump.
 
Spurs dont deserve any of the rings we brought them, that's for sure. Bunch of misers and dead beats.

It's like if Bolton won 5 premier leagues in 7 seasons but still played in the Toughsheet Community Stadium.

sontodevil leads the league in blocks, steals and rebounds, so I can only assume weeweetee and Lil' V.O. are fecking amazing at the intangibles of defending. These lists usually don't stay the same all season, though.



Trades (gif edition)

Lil-Nut (Heat), Pepper Bailly (Bucks)

Skizzlet (Hawks), Pepper Bailly (Bucks) - the Hawks are clearly trying to be bad

sontodevil (Grizzlies), Dr. Junior (Cavaliers) - don't look @Dr. Dwayne, but the Cavs gave away another 1st round pick. They got one back, though. And the Nets are crap, to be fair, so that pick could become anything. It could even become another Josh Jackson. And all it cost them was a first round pick and Josh Jackson.

This seems even better than my historic greatest season ever played.

we can do it, VO!
 
Creaming over a 67 rated teammate when there's super teams with multiple players over 90 lm.ao
 
@nimic what‘s the 5x5 record? Think I saw you posting one list some years ago.
 
I was thinking @nimic if both Sonius and Heine refuse to renew with Spurs, can i set it up to immediately break my contract too, at the same time

This is your 10th season on the Spurs, so I'll allow that. Though that would probably free up enough to sign one of the other expiring contracts (sontodevil, Dr. Junior, or even weeweetee if he somehow doesn't re-sign).

This must be the weakest shooting of any Three-Point 2nd Round ever. Our only Cafite hope is BenitwoSTARRLET, though she's used to winning them at this point.

One more for BenitwoSTARRLET! That's her 4th in 5 years. Quite impressive for a 3 cm tall spatula.
