To Great Lengths - Milwaukee Bucks 2K17 Franchise

[JeriousNorwood]

Hey guys. I started a franchise where I wanted to play the first year to test out everything and get the kinks out, along with proving to myself that I could stick with one team for a full season. I play every single game. I'm just finishing up the playoffs with these Bucks. I do a 29 game schedule along with 3,3,3,5 playoffs. I started the season on all-star difficulty and ended up moving it to superstar so I actually started losing some games.

Finally, I make a few trades to start my franchise off that are quite unrealistic but I took them to go with my theme, "to great lengths" by trying to get a team that has a lot of length. The main objective was getting Rudy Gobert.

Transactions are below:

Jazz trade: Rudy Gobert, C, Boris Diaw, PF
Bucks trade: Greg Monroe, C, Rashad Vaughn, SG, '19 1st Round

Bucks trade: Mirza Teletovic, PF, Axel Toupane, SG, '17 2nd Round
