I'll do it in parts! Deadbeat Dad posted:What team is your favorite built team and why? Winner:  New York Knicks x4 (Comment: The Knicks are not really good but all Jalen in one place made me laugh.) Houston Rockets x3 (Comment: Love the balls of building an all youth+size team. It probably won't be good, but it would be an impressive spectacle in person.) Milwaukee Bucks x2 (Comment: Lockback turning The Bucks into the most toxic team possible was  )Miami Heat x2 (Comment: Miami is incredibly well built, it's the best team right now. Good idea and execution.) Chicago Bulls x2 (Comment: Bulls look fun. I love Bane. Giannis is the man.) Sacramento Kings (Comment: Kings, got a group of young guys I love that I think would be fun to watch.) Toronto Raptors (Comment: Toronto Raptors because I like the combo of Tatum, DeRozan and Murray on one team.) Los Angeles Lakers (Comment: Because it has good-to-incredible value throughout (FVV $186, Giddey $33, Wiggins $142, Sabonis $253) AND somehow $100 left unspent which is wild. Philadelphia 76ers (Comment: 76ers are world beaters. Offense, defense, size, playmaking. They have it all.) Utah Jazz (Comment: Yuta Jazz.) Minnesota Timberwolves (Comment: Two of the most fun scorers in the league who are also sick dunk guys, plus Slo Mo weirdness tossed in for good measure. Bonus points for potential BO99MAN drama.) Oklahoma City Thunder x2 (Comment: Weird as hell, it's made up almost entirely of the "4th best guy"s of their respective teams. It'll either smash everybody's asses or absolutely flounder despite having such a high average level of skill. Weird is always the best option.) Orlando Magic (Comment: Orlando Magic.) Cleveland Cavaliers (Comment: Mobley might die trying to cover up all the defensive mistakes the Trae/Garland/Buddy/MPJ foursome make but they should score 200 ppg.) Charlotte Hornets (Comment: I'll give this one to Charlotte. Only one other team, the Wemby Rockets, committed to building for the future, but that squad is full of intriguing question marks. Hornets did a nice job surrounding Scoot with talent that's more assured, that's also still on the young side (Trey, Vassell, WCJ, Duren)... Caruso is on a different timeline but I like him too.)

I couldn't count it how I used to since some people just sent in one team, some weren't really in order from best to worse, so just did totals. Grats to both DeimosRising and Activia for having the most votes from the goons, but as we can see, this field is wide open this year! Sim results will be posted tomorrow evening! Goodnight.

that's partially on me for not reading the instructions clearly while trying to do too many things at once. Congrats to the winners and everyone else who made fully sick and good teams. Refreshing the internet with you all is always great fun and DBD is the best for organizing and the championship trophy should be named after them.

Thanks for running DBD, you are a hero. Yeah it was a very close year this time around no stand out teams, but equally not many bad teams. I don't really get that Magic team finishing so high personally and the Raptors offense totally slaps but they would be a tire fire on defense. Was I the only voter who really liked the Pels?

I actually ranked everyone when I thought the user choice was gonna be for top 8 in every conference, I’m curious to see how they’ll stack up to the sim tomorrow (I judged based on how I thought they’d do irl so I’m sure it won’t line up exactly) Western Comference (minus Grizz) Clippers (Fox, Jarrett Allen, Scottie) Warriors (KD, Paolo, Turner) Suns (Kyrie, Beal, Brown) Pelicans (PG13, Lauri, Brogdon) Jazz (Hali, Maxey, Dray) Kings (DMitch, Keegan, Dejounte) Lakers (Sabonis, Wiggins, VanVleet) Timberwolves (Ant, LaVine) Thunder (KAT, Dort, Smart) Trailblazers (Klay, Harden) Nugs (Zion, Kessler, Jrue) Dallas (AD, Siakam, Kuz) Spurs (Luka,Bam, Derrick) Houston (Wemby, Ja, Jabari) Eastern Conference 76ers (Lebron, Brunson, Gordon, Vuc) Raptors (Tatum, Jamal, DeRozan, Jonas) Cavs (Mobley, Porter Jr, Garland, Trae) Magic (Shai, Khris, Collins, Gobert) Bucks (Butler, Bridges, Simmons, Dinwiddie) Heat (Steph, Harris, JJJ) Wizards (Horford, Simons, Randle, CP3) Pacers (Embiid, Lillard) Hawks (CJ, Mikal, Sengun) Pistons (Cade, Lamelo, Brook Lopez) Celtics (Joker, Grant) Bulls (Giannis, Bane) Nets (Book, Clax) Hornets (Scoot, Caruso) Knicks (Zingis, OG)

Whoa, getting any votes was an awesome surprise! Gives me hope the Thunder may just have a shot at matching their BYOGM v7 record. Huge thanks to DBD and Giggs for putting in the effort to make this all come together. It's the most fun & frantic draft/vote/sim I've seen across all the various SAS/TFF/TRP/PSP threads I've participated in.

Yes, huge shoutout and thanks to Giggs as well - this would not be as organized or run as smoothly as it has the past two years without his record keeping + all the cool graphs as well!

I voted Hornets for favorite team because there wasn't a "best team in 5 years" vote this year and I didn't know how else to give a vote to a team focusing on youth instead of being all-in now. Lots of rookies went completely without bids so it seems like there wasn't much emphasis on that.

tanglewood1420 posted:Thanks for running DBD, you are a hero. Thanks. I had you in my five, as well. It seems at least three other people liked my team, as DBD didn't use ranked votes because not enough people sent them. Personally, I spent a long time reading the rosters again and again, before I ultimately went with the Bulls as my pick. I also had Deimos at the top briefly, but kept either finding virtue elsewhere, or further flaws in the team. I still put them in my top five, but lower.

Yeah I had the Bulls way higher. I also the teams that didn’t put a roster together in time I ranked lower but maybe that was just being a hater.

I agree that I didn’t see the draw with the Magic. Shai is obviously great and an MVP candidate, but Middleton, Collins, and Gobert have pretty big question marks. For me, it was between the Sixers and Raptors, and while I love Brunson, I think Vooch is soft and lame and I question their wings ability to score from distance. Toronto has great scoring on all levels, and Jonas is a tough guy who can get a million rebounds.

Surprised to see Golden State fall out of the top five, I think that's a great roster. Happy to see a single vote for the Wizards in offence and defence, befitting their status as a low playoff team  Thanks again for running this, super fun as always.

I also only had the Suns as my 5th overall. Putting Brown, Kyrie, and Ayton on the same team seems like you might get some interesting results. The Powell and Ayton pairing is a bit strange. Im a fan of the Phoenix Hoteps.

I was a Magic #1 voter. I just felt like it was really solid guys at all the spots and at both sides of the ball, and like the players would fit will together. Like, sure Gobert has question marks but we know he's an elite defender and rebounder. Khris is really really good and I don't hold a bad start coming off injury last season against him. He had returned to his old form for the last month of the seasons and produced in the playoffs again. Collins is the biggest question mark but he's a solid fit next to Gobert and we've seen what he can do before, and being the 5th out of the starting 5 that's a solid guy. Shai obviously is a stud and KCP is a proven 3&D winning player, so you've got some shooting with he and Khris, plus Rozier coming off the bench as a 6th man? That's really good I felt... I did affirmatively have the Sixers in my top 5 but wasn't as sold on their defense; Vuc is no Gobert and LeBron doesn't really bring it on defense anymore. It's not a bad defense per se but most of the teams I ranked above them were better there imo. I had the Bulls Warriors and Heat up there. I did also have the Raptors and Suns #1 and #2 overall in offense, maybe it'd carry them idk, the Suns are pretty dire on D.

  15th place in the Eastern Conference is... Paul Zuvella's 14-68 Philadelphia 76ers! GM comment: "Uh... what the gently caress happened?  "Reporter comment: "Paul Zuvella is apparently cursing out every player, the Commissioner, the coach.. it's not a good look inside of that locker room right now." Insider comment: "Apparently Zuvella set + for almost every starter, negative for the 5 bench guys, and 0 for 5 others.. All the starters averaged 14-17 points, Brunson and LeBron both averaged over 22+ points... but these guys are exhausted. The bench gave them little to nothing with barely any minutes. This ain't 2K, and Zuvella forgot what worked for him last year and completely messed up the lineups.   15th place in the Western Conference is... G-Hawk's 13-69 Houston Rockets! Insider comment: "This was a bit expected. It was Ja just babysitting a bunch of young guys. Wemby and the kids did decent, but too many teams were experienced and bullied them. Look out for them in a few years."

 14th place in the Eastern Conference is... Salvor_Hardin's 31-51 Boston Celtics! Insider comment: "The East is tough, man. One of these teams had to be bad. Their guys played decent, especially Jokic who averaged 25/11/7, but outside of Gary Trent Jr. and AJ Griffin, their bench was also their Achilles' heel.  14th place in the Western Conference is... Drunk Canuck's 23-59 Dallas Mavericks! Insider comment: "I don't know. He didn't want to cut any of his $1 winners that made up half of his roster and his best 3 players all overlapped in the same positions. Some solid talent but it was all messed up because their GM is a drunkard!"
