2035-2036 Magic Hour: Bo-back to the Playoffs

Post by false9 »

Hello, friends. It's that time again.

Image

As always, let's take a quick look back at last season.

The wheels fell off on the season pretty quickly. Losing Hunt for a month at the start, clearly being outclassed, and having my own pick made it pretty easy to pivot to a selloff mode. Out went Josh Hart, Elisha Davis, Jason Waters, and Boyd Harris for points and young pieces like Douglas Harris, Eldridge Candelaria, and Ferguson Olney. The painful slog of going through losing sim after losing sim in another tank season took its toll. My sim-apathy was in full effect.

The draft didn't look particularly appealing either- another project player. Stuck with six blue potential players and TC looming, I pivoted to the obvious choice and moved my chips in. Out went Olney and Pastor and in came Schumann. All I needed was a big man. After failing to land Grayson Allen, I went around the league. Clicking team page after team page, there was only one name that was available and made sense. This led to the return of the man, the myth, the legend-

Image

The slog of the last few seasons will hopefully be lifted by this one. It's clear looking at the last three preseason pressers I've done, my prognostication skills are terrible. All I can hope for is a playoff team and more importantly, to have fun.

I'll take your questions now.

Who is the focal point of your offense this season? Bronny, Boban, or newbie Schumann?

I've got all 3 keyed up, but I'd expect Boban to be the leading scorer. I'll probably tinker all season with the keyed options.

In the short span between Boban 1.0 and Boban 2.0 you had dabbled with the idea of trading Bronny. Apart from Silky Johnson in Chicago, Bronny is the only elite-level player to not change teams via trade/FA over the past 5 years.

Were you ever close to a deal? If not, was it more you didnt get a return package worth pulling the trigger on or did you think your collection of assets (Sterner, Harris, Olney, Pastor, and Nnaji) were just too raw to develop alongside Richard Hunt?

Bronny looks like he's in the best form of his career. What are your expectations for his sesaon?

After he got hit in TC two seasons ago, I never thought he'd actually hit purple current, but here we are. I actually think his traditional numbers will be down, as a result of there are more scoring options around him. I do expect better efficiency across the board and ultimately, being part of a winning team is the most important thing.

There was never a deal that really came close for Bronny. Hopefully that high valuation pays off this season.

The other assets had their positives, but things needed to go in one direction or the other. Trying to be competitive and having so many raw prospects on the roster just leads to a unfulfilling season, so that's why I pushed my chips in.

Hard work, hustle, and...a 99 OREB?! I really should pay more attention to TC changes. BRB, changing gameplan.

At the moment, I think we should win the Division. The talent looks like it's there on paper. But it's a long season. I've been wrong about my own team the last three seasons, and I expect day 60 to be an active day for other teams in the DIvision. I wouldn't be surprised by someone else taking it.

How long of a championship window do you think this team has?

This year, and maybe next depending on what happens going forward with Boban's decline and the team option. Better to burn out bright than fade away, I suppose.
