Welcome to our new teams, and welcome back to a couple familiar teams in Arizona Storm and Social Security Kings.

Let’s get it !! I’m excited for the new season.

Good luck all! Hopefully I can survive, I recognize a lot of good managers in here!

Thanks!! Great to be back in a league that has a very active forum :-). Good luck to everyone this season :-)

I feel like we need a proper old school nbba style season opening greeting:

Eff you all! Especially you Jason

Ahhh, the good ole days! 😅

Injuries suck! Injuries in a scrimmage really suck! Injuries in a preseason scrimmage really really suck!

Tell me about it!! I have no hope tomorrow anyways. So maybe he wont miss too much after that.

Welcome everyone! I'm back again for another season, albeit that Spanish guy Gayon seemed like a double agent really, as he turned into a mouse during the playoffs. Lince and co. are ready to rumble though!

Previews!


1) Gunslingers Projected Record: 20-2
Balanced team all round, Strong guards that all shot very efficient from the field, along with a nice big trainee should have this team very balanced and ready to succeed at the next level

2) Arizona Desert Storm Projected Record: 18-4
Where they lack in in guards makes up for a ton of it in the big man department. 2 26 yos entering their prime mixed with a complement of guards should have this team in the drivers' seat for the Great 8. A worthy replacement for the LA Lords.

3) Mountain Eagles Projected Record: 17-5
A dynamic trio of 2 wings and a big leads the revamped Eagles along. Biggest question is who will be the contributors after their big 3? Hopefully tough isn't dumb and manages to find the right complements so he can challenge the Slingers and AZ.

4) Las Vegas Silver Stars Projected Record: 15-7
Another team stacked in the bigs department, centering around 99k Yuyao Cai. Now compared to the other big-heavy rosters, there are questions around his guard play; will it be enough to take on a take like Jim Almeidas? We'll see if he trades out a big for a guard in a bit.

5) Janitor Crew Projected Record: 14-8
Another season coming along for Antwon and the U21 crew. A great mix of vets and young guns, training may have him become a dark horse later in the season. Will his chia pet grow to a superstar? Or will he have to lean more on veteran leadership to get to the promised land...

6) Bonham Bricklayers Projected Recrd: 14-8
Bonham now has made a big 3 of himself, with marquee big man Efrain Berman leading the charge down low. This seems to be a very big heavy league! Same questions linger as Silver Stars, needs more firepower in the guards but let's see what his new SF Canto can do...

7) King Drive Ballers Projected Record: 13-9
Yes, this is former KDB squad. I just like the old name better. brian has quietly built his squad from the ground up, and has championship experience to will his team to a better record. Now it remains to be seen if he'll try to overshoot expectations and take the league, but I have no doubt he'll be a playoff contender this season with his trainees getting another season of seasoning.

8) Pittsburgh Peacocks Projected Record: 12-10
Now's there's being built around bigs, and then you have Pittsburgh. 1990s and early 2000s bball fans would fantasize about the twin tower lineup here. However their guards leave a ton to be desired. Playoffs is in the picture for Pittsburgh, but he will need to find some guard upgrades if he wants to make some noise

9) BFT Ever Projected Record: 11-11
Now BFT has an MVP candidate in Zhu He, who can carry this squad. He has a balanced approach to the rest however, having mostly contributing pieces built around him. Now we'll find out if he trades out a couple of roleplayers to get another star player to pair with He, but for right now he's on the outside looking in on the playoffs

10) Asingratitos BC Projected Record: 11-11
His strategy is very perplexing. Buying old folks and using them for a week before sending them to the gulag is wicked, but it has kept him in the league for awhile, we'll see if he starts switching it up soon.


Some fun facts! :
Asingratitos BC (until he starts firing some guys) Has the highest team salary at $ 909 870

Compared to last season, 8 teams again have over 300,000 salary, but it seems more balanced this time around, with only Gunslingers eclipsing 400,000 total

Is it tank time in the Big 8? Mississippi Cobras and Maryland Champions possess less than 100,000 salary. They'll need to act quickly!

Good Luck to all!
