This going to be a weird out there post .... not associated with the NBA at all ...

I'm looking for the team named "The Big Ragu" run by "Abel"
- I'm not sure if he is a current member of this site but I hold records of his previous NBA rankings for 4 years ...
- By gosh I'd love to include him in more of our NBA leagues but being an SCS member is a prerequisite for most of them !!
- he would be right up there on season averages !!

So ... we have an upcoming AFL SC season approaching ... one month away ...
- in that comp we have a team called the "A-Team" .... it is run for fun
- only those with a first name beginning with "A" are able to join .. no experience required and if required advice would be provided in that forum ...
- the team is named after the TV series ... think of the following characters (John "Hannibal" Smith · Templeton Arthur "Faceman" Peck · H.M. "Howling Mad" Murdock · Bosco Albert "B.A." Baracus)
- I'm getting old these days but still recall tuning into that show ...

So I'm left with 2 options if interested ...
- hit me up on a PM ... I'll get you into the league and even be a mentor if required ..
- or someone who knows him do the same .. not the preferred option though !!

Cheers, Adrian (Tails)

I'm not an NBA expert but am absolutely staggered by OKC this trade season ..

- one more class player and I thought that they'd be in the window .. .

But no .. lets hoard trade picks and defer it for other years ...
- their win / loss record is inflated as many teams have waved the white flag against them ...
- If SGA etc gets shut down during finals they really have nothing else to give ...

Just staggering ... not sure that they want or know how to win a championship ...

There really wasn't much out there, sure if the Mavs had been smart enough to call with Luka they probably do it but they're an amazingly complete team already and have exceptional chemistry as well. They were pretty close last year to making the finals and they've improved significantly since then.

Remember that their second option has been out most of the season in Chet, Jaylen is a very good 3rd option. Hartenstein has been really good when he plays. Caruso and Dort is just lock down and Wiggins has really been developing as a sparkplug off the bench as well. SGA has also taken his game to a higher level than last year, it's a joke that people think he's the MVP because of Jokic, but he should be genuinely second to him, he's been that good.

They're also a really young team, their window is definitely open and should stay that way for several years, imo.

The only name that really made any sense to me was Durant and I'm not sure if he wanted to go there or was really available anyway.

Very rough week this one. Anyone who managed to avoid the Durant, Cunningham, Giannis, Lillard and co destruction will be flying, alas I'm mired deep in that quagmire. The rollercoaster of last weeks highs where people actually played to this weeks lows :LOL:

Fair enough! I'm gonna use my last boost to go Giannis to Wemby and try and make some ground, hoping that Giannis misses more than one (sorry to those who keep him). He only has 7 games the two weeks after this, compared to Wemby's 9, which makes me feel better about it.
Whatever you did this week is going hard :LOL:
