Go with the Pacers - better uni's - also Larry Bird rightly belongs in Indiana

Oh that’s nice of primo and Jordan to sign new contracts at less than two thirds their value. Shame we couldn’t do that in spurs huh

We're creating a dynasty here mate.

Unlike Nobbers, Sonius, Heine, altodevil and Jamal Murray?
I wouldn't be so sure the Suns win. The Celtics seem awfully strong too. And crazier things have happened than a superteam losing before the finals.

Stobzilla II seems to simply be too old. He's perfectly playable, but I guess the AI simply won't accept having a 41-year old even on the team. They release him, I put him back in, and they release him again. I think it's retirement time, but I'll take it at the end of the season if it doesn't happen on its own (which it will).
Anyway, we've got a few trades to do at the top of the update, because... well, you'll see.
Heine (Thunder > Heat > Suns), SebJr (Suns > Heat > Wizards) - you guys were saying about that dynasty?
Dan II (76ers > Hornets) - why? why though?
sontodevil (Pacers > Bulls) - I think this might be the first Cafite on the Bulls, ever? Nobody has finished a season there, at least.

Priorities.
Should've retired at the top, got greedy and now I'm in the gutter.
Life in a nutshell
I just saw I put SebJr in Washington in the picture, but he's unfortunately not there.
Not even good enough for all stars...
Almost certainly because you're on an absurdly good team, so you're competing for stats with them. Kareem didn't make the All Stars either.
