Rigged boosts. We demand recount. Pretty cool to see guys who aren’t actually rookies but got picked up via FA got boosts. (Hellems and Jarreau)

Ok yeah I definitely messed up drafting Salaun over Williams or Ellison.

Harper, Sheppard, Pippen are very scary as well

Good for Hellems I guess? I picked him up as a two-way contract and guess he's eligible for the boost even though he's not a rookie? interesting

Ron Harper is an absolute menace. Dope that all 3 of my draft picks got it. Huge for Pippen and Sheppard in particular!

I think we had one guy last year too. Indeed interesting.

Super happy for Alan Griffin but kinda regretting not drafting Ellison because I called this back from his first scout

[drumr]

Yeah Detroit might have had the best draft ever

[Marcos_Beck]

This is interesting, last season we got Murkey who got the boosts as well as a 2-way player

Interesting, maybe those are more important than we think.

[cb4raptorscb4]

Dude this makes missing on Pippen hurt even more! To make things worse, Bronny did not get a boost.

Our 2-way in Flowers did though.. ha

[bt]

Nice to see Bediako get a boost. He's shown some promise already so that's good.

Some big boosts though. Ellison is going to be a stud and geez, Harper Jnr was already destined for greatness but now will be nuts.

Crazy to see Detroit hit on all three of their picks. They're going to be damn scary probably as early as next season.

[GreenBear]

Thanks for putting this together, Andre!

This matches up with my predictions in the TC Results thread. Everyone I listed did get the boost. The only ones I missed were:
- Xavier Moon (I didn't scout him enough to know)
- Trentyn Flowers (I didn't scout him enough to know)
- Jericole Hellems (Not a rookie? WTF?)
- DeJon Jarreau (Again, not a rookie? WTF. I actually signed this guy as a UDFA years ago on the off chance he'd get a boost... and he got it years and years later lol)

[GreenBear]

Detroit is going to run this league for the better part of a decade starting in a couple years. Better get your title now if you want it lol

[Jestor]

My first ever boost player!!!

[Jestor]

Oops accidental double post

Oh I like this timeline

[drumr]

Pippen in a post friendly league is going to make your floor ridiculous shooting like 65% on volume

[andrei]

Congrats to all the boosters

Financial woes will prevent that from happening, as with all other 29 teams in the league. You can only have so much talent and pay it. It's not about how much talent you have, it's about paying the right guys who are the right fit.
Hard cap is great for league balance.
Anyway, Lucas has done a fantastic job and deserves to reap the good he sow.

[drumr]

Personally, I think hard caps are only really loved by those who enjoy trading. One reason I love the football leagues is that you really get to build something and become attached to players and their stories. I feel less compelled to write here because the team makes changes so frequently. There have been some fantastic rosters that didn't play more than a week or two here before they were blown up I would have loved to see in the playoffs.

[Ramcus]

Sigh... another season in the league, another season we don't get a boost.

I need whatever they're taking in Sacramento, they get boosts every season. Gimmie some of that Sac Town juice please and thank you.

Fellas, I'd like to introduce you to the TTW-Lead Pistons. TTW, rest of the league. Rest of the league, TTW. Get used to hearing his name here, he's here to stay. Congratz on the big draft buddy.

Also, consider me not surprised that the only player I draft and trade away for nothing gets a boost. Thanks game, you're the best.
