The press is watching your team.

It wasn't real until it made the paper. Fictional reporters, a timeline and a parody TV panel cover what actually happened in your basketball GM career, and sometimes they want a quote from you.

Priya Nair@PriyaLeaguePass
hot take while the timeline's quiet: most overrated team is OKC 8-1. small sample, sure … I'd rather watch MEM and UTA.
Ray Castellano@RayCastelHoops
UTA 6-3 is the sleeper nobody wants to name. Small sample, sure. Utah's my pick. Fight me.
