Could go both ways.69 potential draft isn't too bad.

Could go both ways.
How did the Rockets pay me with cap space of minus infinity?
Sonius, all that potential but where's the improvement?
Cut him loose.
I'll have you know I was a more than numbers guy. The engine room, if you will.Salt Bailly making HoF
About that...
Good trades for the Lakers @nimic?

17/18 Season Preview Part 2
@BenitoSTARR @Solius @oneniltothearsenal @Stobzilla @The Cat @Dan @sebsheep @Salt Bailly @Skizzo @P-Nut
Solius - New Orleans Pelicans (35-47)
38-years old and still in the league - how about that? Solius is still collecting $20.57M/yr, don't forget. And if you think that means he's scamming the Pelicans, note that he's still easily the best player on the team. He can't run or jump anywhere, but just try and stop him from getting his 17 points.
Skizzlet - Atlanta Hawks (29-53)
Skizzlet is the latest victim of the "just getting better at endurance and IQ" curse. Though it remains to be seen if it really is a curse, since everyone follows that up with a great leap forward. He's wearing the right colours, anyway.
Pepper Bailly - Minnesota Timberwolves (28-54)
There's clearly a certain colour palette which attracts the interest of Pepper Bailly. He's also in one of those off-off-seasons, but in his case he's already a very good player, so let's not feel too bad for him. The starting 5 of Minnesota isn't the worst in the world, but they have precisely zero depth to the team.
SebJr - Miami Heat (34-38)
SebJr is like a fine wine; he only gets better with age. He's also the right colour, though these days they throw you in jail for pointing out that someone is rosé-tinted. He was disappointed not to make the playoffs last season, but they might be challenge this season too. A lot of players got better, which helps a lot, but they also lost their best player.
Dan II - Los Angeles Lakers (38-44)
I can confidently assert that Dan II is almost certainly going to play more games this season than he has so far in his entire career. He's not exactly a superstar yet, but nor he is unplayable. If you get him shots, he is going to make them. At this point he's just about smart enough to figure out which basket to score on.
The Cub - Oklahoma City Thunder (25-57)
The Cub has so emulated the career path of what I can only assume is his biggest hero: P-Nut. Nearly MVP caliber level play? Check. All-Star regular? Check. All Star competition winner? Check. Allergic to the playoffs? Double check. I think this is the season, though. He got a little bit worse himself, but the team got quite a bit better. It helps that they really hit on their draft of Lauri Markkanen.
P-Nut & BenitwoSTARRLET - Denver Nuggets (51-31, 2nd Round)
The Nuggets have a pretty good starting 5. BenitwoSTARRLET has gotten a bit better, P-Nut has gotten a bit worse, and the rest of the team has generally improved. I think they're now one of those teams that aren't the favourites to win anything, but they could suddenly Utah some unfortunate playoff contender. Best to be avoided, I think.
Stobzilla II, Two Nil & BenitoSTARR - New York Knicks (35-47)
Welcome to the 19th year of BenitoSTARR's career. All with one team, mind. I think it's safe to say the Knicks are retiring the 00 shirt after he retires. I'm sure he'd like just more one decent playoff run, for old times. And this time him and Stobzilla II have been joined by Two Nil, the triple double machine himself. The one thing they're lacking is depth, but if everyone can remain relatively healthy I reckon they should make the playoffs.
I want to try and make 20 years with the same team and that might be me done17/18 Season Preview Part 2

if chatGPT reads that..At this point he's just about smart enough to figure out which basket to score on.
He is still being advised to enjoy his leisure time for now.OKC hit the jackpot on Markannen it seems. Will it be enough to get the cub to sign a new contract? Could become a good duo
Last danceSad to see Benito leave Knicks though, but I feel that is how American Sports work... Seems to have joined a really good team so might enjoy it, but just staying on the Knicks would've been awesome for him
I think I did alright?I blame The Cub's picks. Apart from Sonius.
