Jaylen Brown is legit. I'm almost ready to finally give Danny Ainge that EOY award that BBills has been pining for for years. It was bound to come true sooner or later.

I was going to say TIGERS. They aren't going back to the World Series anytime soon, so maybe you can be Miggy's last hope.

Show I took on your challenge with the Tigers. Signed a few free agents
rf and 2b were complete trash so I signed Matt holiday and yunel Escobar to fill both positions. My lineup currently is
Mikie mahtook Lf Yunel Escobar 2b Miggy 1b V Martinez dh Nick castellanos 3b Matt Holliday rf James McCann c Leonys Martin cf Jose Iglesias ss
As far as pitching their wasn't many starters to sign outside of arrieta but he only wanted to sign with a contender. So John lackey was in their as a reliever so I sign him and converted him back to a starter.
My rotation is Mike fulmer John lackey Daniel Norris Jordan Zimmerman Mike fiers
Bullpen was also trash i signed Trevor rosenthal to be my setup man and Kevin siegrist to be my lefty out of the pen.
The rest of my pen is closer Shane Greene Alex Wilson Rafael Rodrigues Travis wood

I finally went back to my NBA2K MyGM.
Bbills - didn't you say that your owner moved the franchise to Seattle? My old boss bought the Nuggets back and they ended up staying in Denver. I got hired as Pres of Bball Ops and immediately fired the old owner's son.
I traded for the #2 pick and got Freddie Staples, the stud PG (cuz apparently, I traded Jamal Murray sometime back - prob for the #4 pick, that turned into the #2).
Gary Harris got a monster offer from the Lakers that I didn't want to match since I'm going to need to re-up Jokic. But I was able to sign DeMarcus Cousins. With a Boogie/Joker front-court, I no longer had room for Paul Millsap, so I sent his old ass packing to Portland for CJ McCollum and a future 1st. I feel that CJ is an upgrade over Harris anyway.
C - Jokic PF - Cousins SF - Chandler (yuck) SG - McCollum PG - Staples 6 - Barton 7 - Trey Burke 8 - Doug McDermott 9 - Ilyasova
About 25 games in, we're 2nd in the conference. Hoping to get back to the playoffs, or I'll be finally firing Mike Malone.

I have jones stashed in AAA. He might be getting the call up soon. The start of the season hasn't really gone as I hoped. We went something like 8-20. I'm gonna try to make a trade for a stud either starter or a big bat. Iglesias is probably heading to the trade block.

GREAT read from Shawn Kemp on Seattle, Gary Payton, and growing up in the league www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/shawn-kemp-seattle-supersonicsI’m lucky I got to see MJ in his prime, the early-’90s-MVP-coming-to-kill-you Michael Jordan. I had only been in the league a year at that point, but c’mon — it didn’t take anybody long to realize that when you played Michael, you could be coming off the best game of your life, playing at home, playing on your birthday — he could have the damn flu — whatever. All the odds could be in your favor, and then MJ would score 25 in the first half, stick his tongue out … just take aim at your entire organization. He lived for that.

All the odds could be in your favor, and then MJ would score 25 in the first half, stick his tongue out … just take aim at your entire organization. He lived for that. We had the Pistons one night and it was early in the game. I got open down low and threw it down on Bill Laimbeer. Detroit called a timeout. I was feeling good. Running back to our huddle, I saw Laimbeer pointing at me.
“Is he pointing at me?”
He ain’t gonna be pointing at me. I just dunked on this guy.
The timeout ended, we got a rebound, and on the other end somebody passed it to me in the paint.
Laimbeer was behind me.
I don’t know what happened next. I woke up in the hospital

You do realize all player tribune article are ghost written right? Heard from a couple of hockey guys on a pod cast talking about their experiences with the players tribune.
