2023-2024 SEASON - DECEMBER 

We doubled our win total in the month of December, going 11-4, which included a six game win streak. So, it was nice to see an upswing in the win column. Can we make a deep run in the playoffs? I don't know, but I think we still need one more player or two. I think I can do that in the draft, but I need a first round pick and I need it to be a high pick. 

So, I started looking at teams who might be interested in giving up a pick for some quality players. The Washington Wizards seemed interested, so I started negotiations and we finally came to a deal that would send center Tony Bradley, power forward Luke Kornet, shooting guard Pat Connaughton, and power forward Alize Johnson to the Wizards for power forward Chris Miller and a 2024 1st RD pick (WAS), 2025 2nd RD pick (WAS) and 2026 2nd RD pick (WAS). 

I'm pretty happy with the deal, as I was able to get a potential high 1st round pick and forward Chris Miller who will be an excellent addition to the team. Losing Bradley left me with no real back up center, so I signed Brook Lopez and Zhou QI to share that role. I also signed center Angel Delgado to a two-way D-League contract. Yes, we lack depth right now, but I will rectify that in the future.

2023-2024 SEASON - JANUARY 

Another good month and we keep moving up the standings. We now only trail the Pacers by 2.5 games in the central and are fourth overall in the Eastern Conference. Oh, apparently there IS a 13-man roster minimum and I found this out the hard way. I was one player short, so I signed Chris Paul to a one-year deal to meet the league minimum.

2023-2024 SEASON - FEBRUARY 

Not a great month, but we moved into first place in the central division and have a half game lead over the Pacers. There was a lot of activity at the trading deadline and I really thought I had a deal done with the Sixers to obtain Ben Simmons, but in the end the deal fell through and I ended up making no trades at the deadline. I actually could have made several deals, I simply wasn't interested in giving up that 1st RD Pick(WAS).

2023-2024 SEASON - MARCH 

A very promising month spoiled by a couple bad games against the Clippers and Warriors. Still, I can't be too disappointed, with only six games remaining on the schedule, we a poised once again to post a 50 win season. It won't be easy though, as our final six games are against teams that are either playoff bound or fighting for a spot. 

Currently the team is ranked 9th in Offense and 6th in Defense.

2023-2024 SEASON - APRIL 

I can't complain about a fifty win season. Actually, I'm quite thrilled with how the season has turned out. The team is better than I expected and I'm confident that we will get past the first round and I don't think the conference finals is out of the question. We're not a flashy team and we don't have that superstar player who can go out and put up forty points on a given night, but we do have a solid group of players who average double digit points every night and they play solid defense. We'll face the Detroit Pistons in the first round and if we get past them, we'll face the winner of the Hornets vs Bucks series.

2023-2024 OFF SEASON REPORT 

PLAYER CONTRACTS
Cedi Osman(SF), Chris Paul(PG), Zhou QI(C) and Charles Wallace(SF) are all free agents at the end of the season. Brook Lopez(C) retired after 16 seasons. Osman wanted to much money to even consider an extension, but I might retain his rights, in hopes of matching any potential offers. I will likely match any offers for Wallace as well.  

STAFF CONTRACTS
No issues with staff contracts and thankfully the budget has been increased slightly. Head Coach Randy Wittman, 1st Assistant Jason Thompson and 2nd Assistant Phil Weber all have one more year remaining and 3rd Assistant Jerald Stewart has two years remaining. 

DRAFT NEWS
Last December I traded Tony Bradley(C), Luke Kornet(PF), Pat Connaughton(SG), and Alize Johnson(PF) to the Wizards for Chris Miller(PF) and a 2024 1st RD pick (WAS), 2025 2nd RD pick (WAS) and 2026 2nd RD pick (WAS). This turned out to be a very good deal, as Chris Miller was 1st Team ALL-ROOKIE and the Wizards hit the jackpot in the draft lottery, meaning we now have the number overall pick in the draft!

OWNER MEETING
Jerry was not happy in the least. Over the salary cap, over the staff budget and apparently 50 wins and a trip to the second round of the playoffs wasn't enough. He also wants a four star player...but he apparently doesn't want to pay for one, so I don't know how I'm going to please this guy.

2024-2025 PRE SEASON REPORT 

DRAFT
With the #1 overall pick we chose Brennen McDuffie(PG/Kansas) and then traded our 2014 1st round pick, 2025 2nd round(WAS) and 2025 2nd round pick to the Houston Rockets for the rights to Justin McCuthison(C/Texas A&M). Everyone was raving about McDuffie and so I pulled the trigger, but I was a little disappointed when his projected rating was only three stars. I suppose that could improve, but right now I'm thinking this was a blown pick. I'm not suggesting he will be a bust, but certainly not worthy of being picked #1 overall. Only time will tell. McCuthison seems to have the bigger upside and he could be the center of the future, but right now I'm not comfortable with him as the starter, so I'm going to try and sign a veteran center to fill in while he develops. 

TRADES
Traded Shai Gilgeous-Alexander(PG) and Jonas Valanciunas(C) to the Toronto Raptors for Kevon Looney(C), Rick Peterson(SG), Justin Shin(SF), Darryl Phillips(SG) and Ivan Dickerson(PG). This allowed me to get some depth on the team and clear some much needed cap space. The owner is adamant about staying within the cap and he wants a four star player, so this is the first step in achieving those two goals. I'm not sure it will result in a successful season, but the cap and a four star player seem to be more important to the owner than wins. So, if I want to keep my job, he gets what he wants. 

FREE AGENCY
So, the owner has a hard on for four star players. That's just great, but four star and above players aren't just falling out of the sky. There are only 32 four star and above players in the entire league and only six available in free agency. Three of them are restricted free agents, which means there is no chance in hell of signing one away from their parent teams. That leaves three true free agents and one of them, Devin Booker, is injured and out for 281 days! I'm not paying a player upwards of $30m per year to go to rehab for an entire season. 

FOUR STAR+ TARGETS

FA
C  | Karl-Anthony Towns | 5.0/5.0 | Wanted $38m/5y, resigned with MIN for $43.9m/5y ($219,910,450)
SG | R.J. Barrett       | 4.0/4.5 | Wanted $31m/5y, resigned with NYK for $36.6m/5y ($183,258,710)
SG | Devin Booker       | 4.0/4.0 | Wanted $38m/5y, signed by SAS for $35.2m/4y ($150,575,824)

RFA
C  | Jason Robertson    | 4.5/4.5 | Wanted $31m/5y, resigned with OKC for $36.1m/5y ($180,810,485)
PG | Marlin Taylor      | 4.0/4.5 | Wanted $31m/5y, resigned with CHA for $35.7m/5y ($178,780,970)
PF | Bernard Person     | 5.0/5.0 | Wanted $31m/5y, resigned with PHO for $36.6m/5y ($183,258,710)

As you can see, I didn't have a shot at signing any of the four star and above players. I didn't even attempt to go after Devin Booker, because I didn't want to pay him to go through rehab for a year. I'm not sure how the owner is going to react to not having a four star player, but it doesn't seem like it's going to happen through free agency. 

Going into the free agency period, I had $28+ million to spend and since we are a fairly young team, I decided to add some veteran players to key positions on the roster. I ended up signing Stephen Curry(PG) to an $11,000,000 one year contract and Steven Adams to a three year $51,493,335 contract with a team option. I signed Adams simply because I wasn't comfortable with a rookie starting at center. This might cause some friction though, as McCuthison is going to want starters minutes and he will get them in time, but he isn't ready right now. Curry was almost an impulse signing. I saw he was available and although he was asking for $15+ million a year, I offered him $11m for a year and he signed. Curry will likely start, simply based upon reputation, but Donovan is the future and he should still see significant minutes during the season.

2024-2025 SEASON - OCTOBER 
This is already a crazy season. With a 40% job security rating, I just didn't think I could ignore the owners demands for a four-star player any longer. So, I blew up a fifty-five win team just to please the owner...I hope he's happy. We did secure a very good player in Bradley Beal, probably the best player we've had in my tenure since Kyrie Irving, but it came at a cost and it is hard to tell just how good the team is at this juncture. I'm certain we are good enough to make the playoffs, but we are not title contenders. We are a good team, maybe very good, but we lack a real super star and there are teams out there with multiple five-star players that are going to be all but impossible to beat in a seven game series. 

TRADES
The last ditch effort to get a four-star player required trading Zach LaVine(SG) and Jimmy Dixon(PF) to the Miami Heat for Bradley Beal(SG), James Mobley(PF) and 2026 1st round pick (OKC via MIA). Honestly, I hated making this deal, but the owner is adamant about having a four-star player and this was literally my last shot at fulfilling that demand. It's not a terrible trade, as I think Beal is a great player, but LaVine was a personal favorite and Dixon is a great player in his own right. The key to this deal ultimately rests on the shoulders of Chris Miller. Miller must step up and fill Dixon's shoes if this deal is to be successful and I'm not sure he is ready to carry the load.
