You have $15 to build your own FBA team.

Go for it.

Given the results of the playoffs so far, the Tides have certainly proven that they were right in taking their chances with Tyrese... One can only imagine if the Spectrums would have fared better had this not-trade ended up working out.

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

Sources tell me that the @SASpectrums and @BangorTides initially wanted to do a direct sign-and-trade between Tyrese Vaughan with Tia Terra, but there was a falling out with one of the parties involved that led to the deal changing.

Contract extension talks between the Plymouth Taproots and their president of basketball operations Art Sadowski have stalled for the past few weeks, sources tell the Fleacher Report.

2022: Lorain Firestorm won their last championship 20 years ago...

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

2020: Plymouth Taproots win their first championship in 30 years after beating their finals opponents 4-2.
2021: Biloxi Voodoo win their first championship in 30 years after beating their finals opponents 4-2.

...to keep most of their previously decrepit roster, waste their draft picks on long shots and hopeful familial strings, and mismanage their budget by giving out lazy, bloated contracts.

All of this resulted in one less win than last year's nightmare season. (2/2)

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

The Queens Pride barely made it to 20 wins and got their first away victory of the season to save whatever reputation they had left.

However, after starting this offseason with a setup that would allow management to mold the team to whatever they wanted, they chose... (1/2)

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

@TashiraSports Your scores technically didn't even matter anyway so... 🤷‍♂️

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

So @TashiraSports just gave everyone in the second round of the dunk contest the exact same score... huh.

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

@BigDawgCed @TashiraSports Eh, I'd say that his initial slump for the starting 1/4-1/3 or the season hurt his chances of making it in the end.

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

Why would you trade a Top 5 lottery pick away like that...?

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

@HanielLemur If I listened to every one of my readers' calls for me to break embargo, I'd be out of a job by now.

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

Oh. Oh it's worse than I thought.

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

I think the number of reaches made this first round is a testament to how there's not as much immediate talent standing out in this draft class... teams will need to hope that the players realize the potential that the teams initially saw within them.

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

Looks like @toivonen81 might be in danger of getting shafted by upper management again...

[Scott Masterson @FR_Masterson]

I don't particularly envy the league officials having to choose the Top 24 from this year's draft class... maybe a Top 10 or 12 would be easier though.

Looking back on this season, the @FbaRiver-@MinusTheIna sign-and-trade will often be pointed out as one of the key moments that led the Voodoo to their first championship in 30 years.
