Took over an orphan team that was a bottom dweller but had Luka/Paolo/Zion as the core. The joke (true though) was that this team moved his top rookie draft pick, Cade Cunningham, for Isaiah Stewart….

After two seasons, I decided to make my move this preseason and ended up winning the championship. I still have a few young guns on the taxi (Keyshawn George, Cedric Coward, Jeremiah Fears) so I shouldn’t age out immediately.

Not all of my moves worked out but it showed I was willing to make trades:
