The Jazz are terrible but Otis Thorpe is quietly having an outstanding season. I think he is a lock for most improved player, but I think his career season more than stat padding. His PER is 27.2 which ranks amongst the league's ...

What do you think about the tiers of competition that we're looking at this season?

How deep would you be willing to go into the tax to win a title?
In the old league, I ran up tax bills of 202 points and 274 points which led to titles so I think I can safely say I'm willing to go all-in for a win. I would like to try to do it again in this league but my build has struggled over ...

Do you build your team to fit a game plan? Or do you game plan for the team you have?
I've always built the plan after the team is assembled. I have wanted to dabble in constructing a team with a particular skillset and executing the plan around that but I've just never had the patience to do it yet ...

Does this game really hate AB?
In the old league, maybe the season Pistol Pete broke his leg. But in the new league, absolutely not.

Hasn't been too much trade action since the 60 day mark, do you expect teams to stand pat, get active?
Get active - folks like to trade and while draft picks are not a premium asset this season there are plenty of teams looking to dump salary as we get closer to the deadline. They will find a way to ...

Have we reached the era of super-teams?
I think so. The talent in the league is growing every season and as we approach the 90s, the overall landscape of the league will be that much deeper compared to the creation draft era. The league has its established set of dominant bigs, but we are going to ...

Exactly how bad is this draft class?
Not bad at all - it is overblown due to the lack of blues but there is plenty of potential here with a little investment and TC magic.

How many prospects do you see that could eventually find themselves starting jobs?
I'd say about the top 7 will crack starting ...

What are some things that surprised you about the first sim?
The East is worse than ever. It is littered with some teams actively tanking and some of these double digit point differentials are going to be ugly at season's end. Much like the real NBA, the winner of the Western Conference finals will ...
