'28-'29 Offseason Questionnaire

[Clinton]

WARRIORS
1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.
I wrote an article, read it if you wanna know.

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
I meannnnn, HOW DAMP IS THAT DUMP?! Know what im sayinnnn?

3. Thoughts on TC?
Boogie and Damp gains pwease. Looking for boosts to Luigi, JJ, and Cofie as well. Lets see whats up with Tito. Christian Collins is my ace in the hole, if he has a legit TC it would make my new build so much easier. I snagged Holland in the hope there is a lot of juice left, here is to hoping.

4. Who wins each division and WHY?

Atlantic: Boston, dont @ me
Central: Raptors, b2b 61 szns and a ring? Mhm
Midwest: Spurs? I honestly dk, this division usually rides on who wants to win GMOTY lol
Pacific: Clippers because Peterson is probably broken even more post-TC

5. Describe the first fake player you'd like to see (ratings and stips included). They can be a real life person (e.g., Baron Trump) or theoretical.
Ashes if you read this, im very sad by there not being fake players yet. Dude we gotta have some crazy themed drafts. Last time i wrote up one for Master Chief and Cortana. Give me Fortune Teller Baba(PG) from Dragon Ball on this one. If you successfully guess your win total, you get either +5 to one position or you get one exact scout of one rating.

6. Who are the 3 most exciting rookie deal players in the league not taken in the top 5?
Hansen Yang
Marcis Pondareplay
Nate Ament

7.Give yourself GM ratings (like player ratings, A-F) except the attributes are: Offensive Dealing | Defensive Dealing | Board Trolling + Memeing | Content Creation | Charlie Kelly Wild Card Factor | Potential. Bonus points if you provide ratings for another GM also.

Clinton Warriors — PF/SG — 6”2 — B-/C-/C+/D/A/C

8. What's the dumbest trade you made in the last 5 seasons?
Ooof uhm, not trading Tatum? The Okoro and Lonzo deals were pretty short sighted. Mo Bamba? Just because it brought my own disdain for my team. Can i still use the Jabari Parker trade for this exercise? Lmao.

9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).
Are the Ravens good? Fuck if i know. I think Jaire Alexander is so fucking washed at this point. Lamar is the GOAT so whatever. Swizards are swizzin. Roll Tide Roll, still pissed about that FSU game but whatcha gonna do.

10. Movies, TV, books, games, whatever recommendations.
Do your own research

Bonus: add a pic/gif of how you feel about your season

1. Draft thoughts? Sleepers, busts, your draft, other drafts, whatever.

I really liked the run of bigs midway through the first round. Agree with Tong: the appearance of "down draft" masked some immediate impact players. Debated going "stash big" vs Nijaun (whose scout I liked overall), but based on this offseason, wanted to be thoughtful about identifying short-term reinforcements.

2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?

Proud of the gambles we took, glad we picked a lane, and think this is a compelling core. However, adding Luka to a roster is like an atomic bomb in terms of impact. It'll take a little while to align and see the way he impacts others, especially Cooper. I want to (1) be better with calibrating depth charts early in the season - especially with how locked & loaded the contenders still are and (2) feel like this is a team that can win on both sides of the ball. At worst I want to go down swinging.

FRANKLY, I thought our aggressive stance would be shared by a lot of other teams, as part of a dramatic re-shuffling. That hasn't happened yet, so I'm interested to see what shakes out in the next 36 hours.

3. Thoughts on TC?

The Cavs have to be super happy, if Okogie's efficiency perks up at this stage of his career. Felt like there was more good than bad across the board this year. Surprised Damp wasn't camped. Bronny! Happy with ours outside of some natural Bridges age-related decline. But with this team, I think he'll be the guy at the party who makes sure everyone mixes in a glass of water here and there. Don't know if it's this year or next year, but I think with all the TLC, MIIIIKKKAAA will eventually erupt.

4. Who wins each division and WHY?

Atlantic: Magic, just a first-class org, though perhaps they re-shuffle. Celtics and Chet two games behind. Hopefully we can close the gap and be better.
Central: Raptors, still the ones, curious to see if they get an itch. I do anticipate Indiana bursting onto the scene. Edited: oof Kyrie and Shai too!
Midwest: Spurs, their only real struggles came without LaMelo. Wiseman's underrated and Jordo has some good defensive play makers.
Pacific: Kings, I think they will smell blood in the water. A lot of teams seem reluctant to go all the way in even as their window opened.

5. Describe the first fake player you'd like to see (ratings and stips included). They can be a real life person (e.g., Baron Trump) or theoretical.

Thin Maker

Maybe he's 7-foot-3 with B-plus outside, I want to see Nick conceptualize this.

6. Who are the 3 most exciting rookie deal players in the league not taken in the top 5?

Dadams (that SC was a punch in the mouth), Martay (oh awesome jwoo w/ an another turnover-less PG yessss), Beckham Black (sorry kid!)

8. What's the dumbest trade you made in the last 5 seasons?

Gonna Eternal Sunshine my rookie-year decisions - whew! Learned a lot.

9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).

[insert 2,500-word essay on Northwestern basketball]

Also, I'm un-ironically very excited about IRL CMB. I think he's the shot in the arm that the Raptors franchise needs. I remember how much Amir Johnson propped up the team emotionally - the city needs a guy like that to re-engage with the team. They should do anything they can to get off the Immanuel Quickley train, though.

RIP ROBERT REDFORD Going to devour The Sting, The Natural, Butch Cassidy, and more to pay homage.

Didn’t follow it too closely, pumped with Wheatley in the second round. Damp and Bombay look very nice


2. How do you feel about your offseason, and what are your goals for this coming season?
We kinda held Pat and kept the team together. Took some fliers in some cheap young guys in FA, feel like we have a deeper team this year. We competing want to get back to the top of the east and fight with the big dogs

3. Thoughts on TC?
Pretty great TC, no huge pops but Okogie A- A was sick, Dybantsa looks like he finally did a positive pop, and most others held the line or got a little better

4. Who wins each division and WHY?

Atlantic: Nets - Luka
Central: Cavs - always the Cavs
Midwest: Mavs - reloaded and nobody else in that division did anything crazy
Pacific: Clippers - best trio in the league

Never lost a trade lol

9. Thoughts on your real life sports team(s).
Praying for Jayden’s health, go redskins, can’t tell if we are good or not. Wiz are gonna be terrible but good draft class for that
