Start of something special

To set the stage. The year is 1999. The NBA doesn't have the starpower we see in 2020. Back in '99 there was still alot of growing to do. Jordan is aging with the bulls . lakers have mvp quality player in Shaq. Kobe is young and just starting his career. And Iverson is all alone in philly.

Meanwhile in Toronto there is a 23 year old named Vince Carter (93 ovr with 38 badges ) who is paired with 20 year old Tracy McGrady (82 ovr 37 badges)
.

They have veterens Doug Christie (29 yrs old 79 ovr) and Antonio Davis (31 yrs old 80 ovr) play solid roles.

Dell Curry (35) Kevin Willis (37) Charles Oakley (36) and Mugsey Boages (35) make the bench old and tired around two young stars. Trades will need to be made to being younger players in .

Using Trade finder I shipped Charles Oakley to Chicago for 1 yr rental Michael Ruffin. Salary dump

Kevin Willis went to Memphis for 72 ovr 1 year rental Cherokee Parks

Mugsey goes to the Kings for 65 ovr Ryan Robertson .

It's likely that losing this season would help us (esp if Tmac and Vince put up good numbers to progress strong.)
