"GWR: Hey... do you know where Sham Smith is? He owes me $200 bucks because he said it would be a cold day in hell before we ever had another creation draft.
Duin: No, I haven't seen him. Also, you bet $200 about something as dumb as the creation draft? That is bold.
GWR: No, we bet $100 on that, I won another $100 at the last min because BlackSuperman quit the league in embarrassment after losing in the finals. I liked my odds after he didn't want to take it one game at a time like the Angrybana here wanted to do it.
Duin: Yeah, that was wild huh? I still can not believe Angrybana pulled that off. No one expected him to win a game let alone the series.
at this point Chet Youbetcha leans in wearing a Three's Company onesie and says,
Chet: What the hell are y'all talking about???
At this moment loud thunderous noise is made and all of the sudden a Tesla Model X appears from a flash of lighting. It is at this moment that everyone spills their Tang that was provided as refreshments in astonishment. The back door opens and Angrybana gets out of the car. He is wearing a green suit that is made out of what appears to be 3D printed material. His tie is a holographic representation of a tie instead of an actual tie. His hat is a silver sliver that covers his full head like any other hat, but when he takes it off it shrinks to become a pocket square that he puts in his front pocket. He then pulls one of the sleeves of the jacket where the pattern completely changes from pinstripes to a solid green color. AB approaches the microphone without walking because his shoes levitate. When he arrives at the podium he looks around takes a deep sigh and then begins his speech.
Hello everyone. Welcome to a new time. A PBSL... a NEW DAY. I know like some of the rest of you that were from the previous run of PBSL, I was really running out of steam towards the end there. I was in a space where I was no longer enjoying the game for various reasons. I was competing yet still felt like the fun wasn't there anymore. Anyways, now that we are in the 1980s again, I have already seen a shift in momentum. Not only for myself, but for the whole damn place. Anyways, I would sit here and talk about the excitement of what is to come, but damnit I want to take another moment to relish in the winnings of last season. So even though I know Doug spoiled this for those of you that check the forum regularly, here is the last banner of a forgone era. The last banner of the last crusade. The last banner of SLOE and PBSL how we knew it before...

This offseason saw me take on a new approach to this whole thing. I helped David and Doug out with the creation draft because I knew how hard it would be for two people. It was hard for the three of us, so glad I could be there for them for that.
I got a back end pick, third to last. So my plan was initially was to get two bigs. The one I was eyeing to build around was gone by my pick so I pivoted. I grabbed Mo Cheeks, because we can always use Mo Cheeks amirite? Than I was like y'know what. I had Lew in the last iteration, let's get him in this one. Also, he is a Laker great, so lets put him on the CELTICS! I kinda leaned into the win now approach after that trying to secure scorers at all levels.
That then lead to an interesting preseason result. I was actually a defensive juggxrnaught... I am not sure how that will work out as the year goes on and real gameplays are put in. I really like my team for the next year or so. But I will eventually lean into a new build around Mo I think. This season though lets try to get my boy Kareem a MVP! I think he has a chance to be honest. I know other players are having great years, but I have one of the best facilitators on his team AND a good third player in Elvin Hayes. Lets go everyone!
