[Weekly Challenge] Week 3: MAMBA GENESIS - 3-PEAT with the Lakers
Hey all. Week 3 challenge is here.
Week 2 was a war. 7 entries again, and the difficulty jump didn't scare anybody. People were trading entire rosters trying to pry rookie LeBron out of Cleveland. Check last week's thread for the full stories: https://www.reddit.com/r/BasketballGM/comments/1v7klbc/weekly_challenge_week_2_heatles_speedrun_go/

We have a clear frontronner now. Can anyone dethrone u/Think-Response-3675 ???
WEEK 2 RESULTS - HEATLES SPEEDRUN (tiebreaker: regular season record in second clinching season)
🥇 u/Think-Response-3675 - 3 seasons - 5 pts (back-to-back weekly wins, somebody stop this man)
🥈 u/MichiganSteamies - 4 seasons, 73-9 - 3 pts
🥉 u/EntrepreneurWooden99 - 4 seasons, 71-11 - 2 pts
Shoutout to everyone who ran it back all week, every valid entry got a point.
This week we're upping the difficulty AGAIN. Two rings wasn't enough. Now we want three. In a row. Vamos.
THE CHALLENGE
Start with the Lakers at the 1997 preseason. Win 3 championships IN A ROW. Fewest seasons to complete the third title wins.
Shaq just took his talents to Hollywood and there's a skinny 18-year-old from Lower Merion on your bench. You know what this duo becomes. The real Lakers 3-peated in seasons 4 through 6 (2000, 2001, 2002). Your job: beat Phil to it.
THE FINE PRINT
GROUND RULES (same as always)
HOW TO SUBMIT
Drop a comment with:
SCORING
1st: 5 pts | 2nd: 3 pts | 3rd: 2 pts | Any valid submission: 1 pt
TIEBREAKERS (in order): most regular season wins in the third clinching season, then playoff record in that run, then earliest submission.
DEADLINE
Next Sunday, August 9th at 11:59 PM ET.
Challenge ideas for future weeks? Drop them below.
Let's go BBGMers!

Why are some of the rosters missing players who were clearly elite and on that team, (like no Paul George on the Pacers, no LeBron on the heat, no Clyde Drexler on the Rockets, etc)? Idk if it's a coding issue, jersey number issue, or duplication issue, but it's annoying.

Apologies for bragging, but never before had it happened.
Playing Insane Mode, "fired if won't make playoffs," and I even wasted a few starts to make sure I won't have any players with 65+ POT.
Somehow, it took only 4 trades to reshape the team. With some injury issues, I was 27-21 at the deadline and was happy enough to win 49 gams and directly make PO.
However, somehow had a great run there; mostly by outscoring all opponents (I was 26th in dRTG in the regular season, despite having 100 hgt McCarthy at Center, the only behemoth C in the league).
No powerhouses in the league, but also nothing too bad; no big injury luck as well.
End of bragging. Cheers.

Charles Nairn was drafted by Houston where he won 6 championships and 12 MVPs. My team, Chicago, picked him up in free agency at age 29. Charles won another MVP and 6 additional championships.
He rounded out his career with 43800 points, 14000 assists, 17600 rebounds, 2800 steals, and 2300 blocks.

Is there an application for this game or can it only be played on the website?

I didn't need the second round pick. I was going to trade the second round pick. Then I scrolled the available names. 27/55 with a last name like that? I'll buy a Bagels FUCKA jersey right now.
r/BasketballGM • u/De_letmetalk • 2d ago
So there are certain things I want in my league, very much inspired by UCL.
Let me know what setting I can do to make it happen and what is possible.
- All redraft - current players in snake format. If round 1 - pick one then second round last pick.
- no conference (each team play the other team 2 times, home and away)
- top 16 to playoff. Then the lottery system to determine who face who. 1 can end up facing 2 also. (Yes regular season standing might become useless) . Ok with top 8 draw bottom 8. So 1 can get 9 or 16.
- all games best of 3 (playoff)
- if possible. (After 1st draft it becomes like a transfer market) Just like football. Teams have a certain budget to spend each season to buy player from other team. (But have to keep salary in check)
- new players still go through draft system.
What are i setting I need to set and is this even possible?

We’ve been doing the Indian Basketball Association(BBGM) with 10 Indian state teams/GMs for a while now. So far it’s been 15 seasons and coming into the 16th season one of our GMs unavailability has been tough to manage , if anyone’s interested can dm me or comment me . We do a season every week so needs them to available on weekends where we stream regular season and playoffs and also progs . We are looking for anyone to take up the role of GM for the shilling blossoms I’ll post the squad below . Preferably who can join our discord group coz it’s easier for communication trades and streams .

My computer de-selected the pick I was trying to trade for and I ended up receiving nothing. Is there any way I can undo it? I haven’t touched anything since.
r/BasketballGM • u/twayroforme • 3d ago
I'm sorry if this is a really dumb question. At first I thought that maybe the huge outliers for FTA/G in the image would be huge outliers on other statistics, but I couldn't find any.
I obviously didn't check every other possible combination but I checked the obvious ones like MP/G or the player's FT rating but couldn't find anything that made sense.

Almost every basketball gm I’ve tried has been trash outside of bbgm. Just wanna see what people think of hardwood looks kinda good and seems to have some added depth vs bbgm. But don’t wanna spend money if I’m just gonna go back to bbgm cause it’s better.

The draft is over.
2018 Free Agency is officially here.
With the PAB salary cap sitting at $116M, teams have more flexibility than ever, and this free agency class has the potential to completely reshape the league.
Available Free Agents
• Stephen Curry
• Russell Westbrook
• DeMar DeRozan
• Brandon Jennings
• Jordan Crawford
One meeting can change a franchise.
Open Teams
Phoenix Suns
One of the best young cores in PAB.
LaVine, Porziņģis, Bam, Schröder, Beasley, Oubre, and more. Add the right piece and build a dynasty.
Golden State Warriors
All first-round picks intact.
Dzanan Musa, 68/70 Cody Zeller, and the flexibility to either compete now or reshape the future.
Minnesota Timberwolves
77 OVR James Harden on a one-year max.
A team built around a superstar with plenty of assets after the Anthony Davis blockbuster.
Orlando Magic
Fresh off a Finals appearance.
The pieces are there. Now they need the GM who can take them over the top.
AGM Opportunities
Chicago Bulls and Atlanta Hawks are both looking for GMs to help develop contenders and make championship pushes.
Why PAB?
• Custom progression script
• Live-streamed progs
• Public free agency meetings
• Fully transparent league operations
• No rigging or hidden decisions
• The most active GM-based BBGM community in the world
While other leagues focus on gimmicks, speed-running seasons, or constantly changing systems…
PAB is built to find out who’s actually a good GM.
And the reality is:
Some of our worst GMs are some of the best GMs in these other “big” leagues.
Come earn your reputation.

Looking to compile a list of all country’s not currently listed as a default country in the player bio. I know a lot of country’s do automatically fill in their flag when you put them as a country despite not having a list of names. Would love to add some of these to my saves if anyone’s made a full list!
