Which games in this Sim will be crucial to playoff seeding?
Great question. The easy answer early is that right out of the gate, the 4/1 and 4/4 matchups between New York and New Jersey; if Jersey sweeps those matchups, New York isn't mathematically out of the playoffs, but they'll be down 6 ...

Why is the trade market locked?
I think it's not any single thing but a combination of factors, in approximately this order...

1. Bunching of teams means very few teams have incentive to sell. Only two teams are really "out of" the playoff chase (Atlanta and Philadelphia) and they are both heavy ...

As the players break the huddle ...

Updated post Donaldson/Cartwright trade. Looking to move Griffin for picks and/or points.
