I ran lots of sims to work on my contract sliders.
observations over approximately 30 different simmed year one seasons.
Kawhi ALWAYS, without fail, signed an extension with Toronto during the season. He also took home several MVP awards and almost always won DPOY.
Hawks consistently wound up as the 4th-6th seed and sometimes made the 2nd round and once the conference finals. Young was almost always ROY (Ayton won a few) and consistently averaged 20 plus, 5 assists or more and a ridiculously low amount of turnovers (then again Harden and others also have far too few turnovers).
GS and Houston were the only Western conference teams to make the finals. In the East Toronto was the most frequent finals team, followed by Boston, Philly, and Milwaukee.
GS/Houston won every time but two, when Toronto won. No other Eastern team won the championship.
Klay Thompson most often signs with the Hawks in the off season. Jimmy Butler almost always resigns with Minnesota. Durant almost always resigns with GS.
