1. Tell me about your team and your plans this season, any expectations?
Sargo- Our team is all about Oscar and building around him. We got lucky and jumped in the lotto so added an nice big in Bellamy. I’m pretty high on Lawrence as well. He put up nearly 17PPG on elite percentages. He’s a sneaky good player and can be great with a good TC. We are a few vets away from being a 50 win team IMO.
Nanz- This one is a bit tricky for us. We got Al Sears and now Mr big dick Gaines which should be a nice 2 for us. With Don Nelson on the squad, I think we should be able to win some games. Maybe we trade for some bigs and try to win 42 but trading sucks… With that said, we’ll start the season looking for another lotto and add some talent.
HF- I just want to add another starter level guy at the 2 and get some big depth. Team looks solid going into next season and depending on the progression of Jerry and Bailey, we can be in championship talks sooner rather than later.
Galo- We just won the chip so helped break the 'Magic curse'. Cleaves just retired and we're hard capped. Just going to try and reset then tear down probably.
2. With the arrival of the GOAT prospects, do you ever make someone untouchable in FBB? Or do you think thats boring keeping someone over the course of the career?
Sargo- Yes. Oscar is untouchable. For now. But eventually it’ll get boring and I’ll trade his ass. Probably sooner than I should. Most guys would hold on to him for his whole career. I’ll probably trade him earlier because Im bored.
Nanz- Yeah not a fan of making anyone untouchable but they are also so much better than anyone else that it’s tough to trade. I think you always gotta be willing to shake it up and have fun !
HF- I mean I kept Giannis until he turned 30 and had fun the whole time. When you have a stud it’s best to keep them as long as you can. No reason to trade a star. If you do, it’s normally after a while of competing and they are around 30+.
Galo- Eh I think there's a few guys you have to keep like Bill Russell, Wilt, Elgin etc. Big O and West are on that list now too. Unless you get quite a haul, you've got to hold on to those guys as long as possible - at least thru their peak years.
3. Who are your top 5 players regardless of contract/age in the league?
Sargo- Baylor, Oscar, Wilt, West, Russell in no particular order. All are youngish and elite.
Nanz- I mean this has to be Walt Elgin Russell St. Cloud and my main man Kenny Sears !!!! The goat baby!
HF-
1.wilt
2.oscar
3.cloud
4.bill
5. Red
Probably missing people.
Galo-
1- Wilt
2- Cousy
3- Elgin
4- Twyman
5- Greer
4. Who are in your top 5 players in the league value wise?
Sargo- My answer is the same as #3. I think these guys are studs and will continue to get better.
Nanz- Probably still Wilt Russell West Oscar and Elgin lol
HF-
1.Oscar
2.Bill
3.Wilt
4.Baylor
5.Bailey Howell
Galo
1- Wilt
2- Bill Russell
3- Oscar Robertson
4- Jerry West
5- Hal Greer
5.What moves can the Grizzlies and/or Celtics make to make their CY?
Sargo- Both need to make a lot of moves man. The Grizz basically brought back the gang from last year, yikes. The Celtics need a PG badly. Both GMs better start sending out mass PMs.
Nanz- Celtics need to move their recent first round picks in Don and walker for some vet help to make sure they get to 42. I wouldn’t wait and risk it. Grizz need to move their picks and add some depth to make sure they get into the playoffs. West sucks tho so …
HF- Anything to help if you’re the grizzlies. I don’t think the Celtics are that far away and they really slipped up not going after Bauer from the Heat. I think they’re capable of resetting while keeping all their youth. Just need to bring Jax back, trade for a pg and a big.
Galo- As far as the C's, just make moves to upgrade what's around Horace and Barnett. Definitely need a better PG - I've never won in BBS without a top PG. And another big next to Horace like a Mel Payton might help. Kojis probably has to be one to go.
6. Early prediction for next season who wins it all?
Sargo- The Cavs should have won it last season so I’ll go with them. Stacked team. Stealing Baylor is still insane to me. I wish I could have had that luck. Then again I got lucky and ended up getting 1 and 2 the last two drafts.
Nanz- Oh god so early … lol I dk but it feels like the raptors were close ? Magic still have a squad. The kings have been winning all these rigular season games so maybe they are due
HF- Hopefully the Wolves, but the Bulls/Magic/clippers/raps/kings/cavs/warriors/rockets all have really good teams.
Galo- Maybe Raptors? Idk they won 60+ last season as well. Still look pretty loaded.
7. There has been some gripes with the Wilts, Bill, Big O, Logo of the worlds being too good, who do you think non GOAT prospects could ascend to their level, and if any do you think the gap from #1-2 pick from #3-#13 lotto picks are too wide?
Sargo- No one will close the gap on those guys. They are way ahead of the pack. It’ll be close to impossible. At the same time, no one should touch them. Those are absolute legends.
Nanz- I mean they are goats for a reason so whatever. Yea it sucks if you can’t win without having these guys but Spence I’m sure has a plan and at the end of the day he needs to have fun too. As far as non goats … I hope someone like don Nelson or Big Al… ex warriors Spence wants to me amazing …
HF- Nah you can still get some guys. But everyone is too busy looking for the next star instead of taking the value that’s there. A great shot blocker or stud scorer that doesn’t defend as well is still not bad for the lottery. It’s up to us to find players that fit a specific role. I know I’ve gotten lucky the last few seasons but I’ve never had a problem rebuilding. As long you gather assets and cap space, you’re gonna be fine with a few lottos back to back. There is gonna be some weak draft because not every draft is amazing.
Galo- I mean not particularly. I think Spence should focus on making lower level stars in order to compete with the true superstars like Logo, O, Bill, Wilt etc. I think it'll be easier to compete that way long term.
8. Can you think of any changes that could make the league more enjoyable and interesting?
Sargo- I am having a good time this go around. There’s not much drama which is nice. Less drama and more sims!
Nanz- We’ve been doing this for years and years . I enjoy it for what it is and it’s a good distraction from work here and there.
HF- Not really. Lol Spencer does a good job.
Galo- Maybe like a 2nd chance CY opportunity. Maybe you have to win 50 if you don't make playoffs or 42 to stay in your post and if you fail then you get at the end of the WL? Idk.
9. Tell me about your favorite sports team and what are your expectations with them?
Sargo- Im a Knicks fan and have zero expectations.
Nanz- Fan of the yanks lakers and rams. Yanks off to a hell of a season so hoping for a WS finally… Rams let’s run it back! Lakers lets hope kyrie comes … lol
HF- Love the Heat Dolphins and Yankees. Yankees will win it all if we don’t face the astros in the playoffs. Dolphins will win the division. And Heat are gonna get knocked out in the conference finals unless we make some moves.
Galo- LA Clippers die hard fan. Kawhi missed all last season then we lost in the play in which was lame even though we should have been the #8 seed in conventional format. Obviously championship aspirations this season but the injury bug always bites us so idk. If we're healthy I think we'll be in contention but we'll see.
