#SLOE: People's Basketball Sim League

Join garbageman and JNR as they grow increasingly tired of putting out MEOTY winning podcast performances before getting snubbed. We'll be going live around Sunday, July 12th @8:45 PM. Ask us questions below, and you can tune to listen live and participate in the live chat here:

Bump. Don't waste ALL your questions on preseason pressers! We need stuff to talk about tonight!

Sim- the classic give me your finals pick for the season.

Nonsim- Best thing you've made to eat in lockdown?

What teams title chances became deceased after the TC?

Will any players in the NBA get distracted because of any entanglements when they restart playing?

Who finishes LAST in every division?

Are we any closer to a sim league expansion?

Who wins the "NBA bubble" championship in Orlando?

Edit:

In case yall do some prep before the show and feel like doing some salary cap math

If you had to build a starting lineup of players age 31+ without going over the tax apron (~$160M), what would your lineup be?

Same question but now only players 25 and under

The Nuggets obviously won Free Agency, did they have the best offseason overall, though? If not, who you got and why?

Non-sim. Who’s one comedian/comedy show/movie that you wish more people knew about?

Which player is in best position to take home the Boban Award? Wait, I mean the MVP award?

Will the Omega conference have any more quality teams this season, or will it be slim pickings again?

Which GMs catch your attention the most when you see them pop up on the Finalized Trades forum?

What is the single most influential off-season move made in the Alpha conference?

Top 5 favorite horror movies (if you watch them)

Favorite type of taco?

Least favorite player on your favorite sports team?

PBSL: When rebuilding, do you prefer a slow rebuild (76ers route) or a quick one (Clippers/lakers)

Food: Which do you like better pho or ramen?

Who will be MVP this year? Is it DeAaron Fox's year? Surprising he wasn't last year?

If you were KeepIt100 navigating his rebuild, were there some moves where you would have stopped? Would you have gone further, or made different trades altogether? Definitely one of the more active roster-moving GMs, keeping things shaken up.

How do you stack the Bulls vs. the Nuggets in a theoretical finals matchup?

The Mavs success will be hard to overlook for another season. Do you see any more teams that will have Mavs-like success that wouldn't naturally be predicted? I guess the easier question is 'Who is this year's underdog?'

Without the 1st sim to talk about this year... uh... how has your Sunday been?

Do you prefer Door Dash / Uber Eats / Postmates / Grubhub or do they all equally suck as necessary evil in your quarantined lives?

2 hours to go bump

Another question: I did not realize that the RFA I signed this year has the name Scot Bulter and not Scott Butler, until after I signed him. To me this might be one of the dumbest names I've seen the computer create. What do you think is the dumbest name in the history of PBSL, and why is it Modestine Degrimonpon?

I think I was maybe misinterpreted, but disappointed I didn’t get to hear discussion on like ‘were the Nuggets free agency better than say, the Magic Boban trade or the Blazers draft, or the Wolves getting Luka’ etc. but sure, just dunk on me

I apologize for dunking. I shouldn't have turned the question around in that direction. It was wrong of me to do that.

Other than that, I stand by mine and Raby's interpretation of that question and do believe we touched on several of those discussion points throughout the show.

It wasn't wrong, I probably could have worded the question a little differently. Thanks for this, though, either way. I apologize for my post-pod rant. For what it's worth I really enjoyed the listen outside of that part, and I always do.

I think there's a gulf between my real-life personality and how I'm perceived by this group. Transparently, I'm going to work on that moving forward.

About an hour into the listen. I’ve always been interested in a restart with current rules to get players I grew up with again.

Second, if we could choose city team names, I’m trying for the San Juan Monks.

Enjoying the podcast so far. I’ll come back with anything else that catches my attention.
