Did we learn anything from the preseason sim? Only the Raptors went 6-0

This is going to be a very short podcast if we only have to talk about the measly preseason sim. Hit us up with some more questions!

1. What kind of off-season do you enjoy most/feel is better for the league: One like this one with so much trade movement and change-over or a more reserved one with teams trying to get better in a more organic way (free agency, draft)?

2. If you had to do it all again would you stick with a contraction draft or change it to placing the players into free agency ?

3. Josh is from Chicago where the NBA All-star game was played this year. Did either of you watch the game? If so, any thoughts about the format? Or did Josh notice any extra excitement around the city?

4. Favorite and Least favorite transactions of the off-season.

5. I'm always looking for new places to visit, so where are some of your favorite vacation destinations? I'm looking to plan a 2nd big trip this summer.

1. With the re-alignment happening before the offseason, are there any changes to the divisions or conferences today?

2. What are the matchup that you are most looking forward to moving forward?


3. With Wig, seemingly done with PBSL. Of the active GMs still in the league, who is the GOAT GM

4. Of the newer GMs (Greeple, mamba, keepit100, etc.) who do you see as doing the best job? Both for present and future years.

5. Biggest takeaways from sim one.

6. With Mardi Gras currently going on, if you have one, who is your favorite Greek/Roman mythological god/hero?

One of the 5 on 5 questions was what out-of-the-box ideas do you have to improve the league. Do you guys have any you'd like to discuss for the league to chew on?

This might be skewed more for Raby since he's been here since the beginning, but Josh was around for some of these guys tail-end careers. X1st did a piece on remembering the Celtics franchise which was recently contracted. The other three were the Warriors, Grizzlies, and Bobcats. All four of those teams you associate with just 1 GM each: Conroy and Celtics; bow and Warriors; LoCo and Grizz; Darth and Bobcats. What are some of your favorite memories of each franchise and GM?

League related: is the game more fun when there’s not a Magic-like behemoth team around?

Nonleague: there were a lot of famous faces around town this weekend with the all star game. Who’s the most famous person you’ve met?

Food: what’s the last great thing you ate?

-Do y'all feel like contraction has had an immediate impact on the level of talent spread throughout the league? What sort of impact do y'all expect it to have going forward?

-Since you've already posted an article with some tips, what tips does JNR have for running a successful sim franchise?

-In general, what do y'all think about the importance of Sim 1 and what you should take from it?

-Over time, the heavy majority of trade activity has shifted not only from the Trade Deadline to Day 60, but from the regular season to the offseason. What are your thoughts on this, and do y'all see it changing anytime soon?

-What's your favorite alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink?

Should the league retain enough popularity to expand, which team would you reinstate first? Is there an order?

What's the story behind the last time you puked? How bout last time you wanted to puke?
