3OMITTED:
4
5Zebra (Pelicans)
6Draft: A
7Best Offseason Moves: Drafting Simi, resigning RHJ and Cheick Diallo
8Worst Offseason Moves: Dealing AD and Boogie, the Simi trade debacle
9Luxury: Under
10Current Situation: D+ (Doggo and Confictional just blew the whole thing up. Zebra has been omitted due to his lack of influence on any recent Pelicans moves.)
11Overall Owner Grade: N/A
12
13Silver (Thunder)
14Draft: C (A C simply means that the draft class was average and nothing more.)
15Best Offseason Moves: None
16Worst Offseason Moves: None
17Luxury: Barely under
18Current Situation: A- (The reigning 1-seed in the West did not improve much while almost every other team did. However, the team is still good on paper. Silver must refrain from being passive to keep the Thunder rolling.)
19Overall Owner Grade: N/A (With such an average draft and no real offseason moves to speak of, Silver will be omitted until we see how he fills Stache’s role.)

21Now for what you came to see.

232019 NBA SIM 3.0 OWNER POWER RANKINGS:
24
2528. NothingButHeat (Heat)
26Draft: N/A (N/A states that the team in question did not have any draft picks to use)
27Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Bobby Portis, signing Austin Rivers
28Worst Offseason Moves: None
29Luxury: Under
30Current Situation: C- (On paper this team is pretty bad, and it’s hard to say Heat has done much to help their cause. Having two 1st round picks in the coming draft helps, but that’s only if Heat shows up.)
31Overall Owner Grade: D
32
3327. Mavros (Cavaliers)
34Draft: N/A
35Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Larry Nance, getting two 1st round picks from Vancouver in the Kevin Love trade
36Worst Offseason Moves: Making no effort to resign LeBron
37Luxury: Under
38Current Situation: D+ (The team looks very bad right now thanks to Mavros’ “effortsâ€, but there is a future there. The Cavs possess all their 1st round picks, have a lot of bad contracts expiring, and have Larry Nance, Rodney Hood, and JJJ there to potentially build around. They are not unsalvageable.)
39Overall Owner Grade: D+
40
4126. Jame (Pistons)
42Draft: B-
43Best Offseason Moves: Drafting Zion Williamson, landing Myles Turner, dumping Gorgui Dieng and Bismack Biyombo
44Worst Offseason Moves: Trading 1st round picks from the Wizards, Kings, and Pistons, moving Buddy Hield
45Luxury: Barely under
46Current Situation: C- (Jame’s tendency to trade has gotten him into trouble once again. I think he’s done a lot worse in the past, however. Myles Turner is a solid addition for a team that was starting Henry Ellenson at center last season, and the Pistons get plenty of money next season, as well as three 1st round picks. Jame has a lot of scouting to do if he wants his future to pan out.)
47Overall Owner Grade: C-
48
4925. Tony (Kings)
50Draft: D
51Best Offseason Moves: Signing Enes Kanter, signing Ben McLemore, James Ennis, Mike Muscala and Shelvin Mack to finally have a decent bench
52Worst Offseason Moves: Drafting Tyus Battle again, signing four regressing FAs
53Luxury: Under
54Current Situation: C (Tony’s past mistakes will certainly come back to hurt him, but in the immediate this Sacramento team is looking pretty okay. The Kings finally have a bench that can support their stars. Tony could be a potential one-hit wonder.)
55Overall Owner Grade: C
56
5724. Andre (Wizards)
58Draft: N/A
59Best Offseason Moves: Sign Trey Lyles and Richuan Holmes, dump Dwight Powell
60Worst Offseason Moves: None
61Luxury: Under
62Current Situation: B (John Wall and Bradley Beal provide a solid 1-2 punch for the Wizards, but there isn’t much support surrounding the two star guards. Trading for a 1st would be ideal.)
63Overall Owner Score: B-
64
6523. Glass (Clippers)
66Draft: A
67Best Offseason Moves: Resigned Tobias Harris and Juan Hernangomez, drafted Bol Bol
68Worst Offseason Moves: None
69Luxury: Under
70Current Situation: C (I’m giving myself a lower rating because I’m not even sure where my future is heading. With my pick being lottery-protected and having a roster full of average players, it’s just a strange situation.)
71Overall Owner Grade: B-
72
7322. Beast (Warriors)
74Draft: F-
75Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Jordan Bell
76Worst Offseason Moves: Letting Khris Middleton go, having the most irredeemable draft class in sim history
77Luxury: Barely over
78Current Situation: B+ (The Warriors are still a solid team thanks to Steph and KD, but the support around the two stars is in heavy decline thanks to Beast’s “I don’t give a fuck†attitude.)
79Overall Owner Grade: B (B is the standard rating I'm giving to inactive owners with good teams.)
80
8121. ZTO (76ers)
82Draft: B-
83Best Offseason Moves: Accepting POs for Ben Simmons, Markelle Fultz, and Dario Saric, drafting Jericho Sims
84Worst Offseason Moves: Missing out on LeBron James
85Luxury: Way under
86Current Situation: A (You can trust ZTO to complete the process… if he ever becomes active again. The team is still great either way, even without LeBron.)
87Overall Owner Grade: B
88
8920. DPOYmond (Hawks)
90Draft: A+
91Best Offseason Moves: Drafting diamond MJ Walker, accepting Justise Winslow’s TO
92Worst Offseason Moves: Trading John Collins, paying Brook Lopez 3 year, $36 million
93Luxury: Under
94Current Situation: B (The future is looking good for DPOYmond, but the Hawks likely won’t make a splash this season.)
95Overall Owner Grade: B
96
9719. Toasty (Nuggets)
98Draft: A
99Best Offseason Moves: Acquiring CP3, resigning Jokic, landing Otto Porter in a strange trade
100Worst Offseason Moves: Not being able to fucking count, forcing himself to void offers to Will Barton and Trey Lyles
101Luxury: Over
102Current Situation: B- (The team isn’t bad on paper, but money management issues and a potentially forfeited 1st round pick leaves Toasty’s Nuggets far from being perfect.)
103Overall Owner Grade: B
104
10518. Billy (Spurs)
106Draft: N/A
107Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Kawhi Leonard
108Worst Offseason Moves: Missing out on Kemba Walker, signing Shabazz Napier
109Luxury: Under
110Current Situation: B- (Seven of the Spurs’ fourteen players have hit regression. San Antonio still has all of their 1st round picks and will look to have a good season, but Billy needs to be cautious with future signings.)
111Overall Owner Grade: B
112
11317. TDurgan (Celtics)
114Draft: C
115Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Kyrie Irving, accepting TOs for Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum, landing Rawle Alkins in exchange for Chase Jeter
116Worst Offseason Moves: None (Terry Rozier was a backup, y’all need to calm down.)
117Luxury: Under
118Current Situation: A+ (This is a team full of star power. The Celtics look to contend in the weak East thanks to some easy moves by TDurgan.)
119Overall Owner Grade: B+
120
12116. King (Grizzlies)
122Draft: B+
123Best Offseason Moves: Drafted Nassir Little, retain Marquese Chriss and Deyonta Davis
124Worst Offseason Moves: Poor reaches for diamonds in the draft
125Luxury: Under
126Current Situation: B- (The Grizzlies are not yet ready to contend but the talent is there for a future run. This could easily be an A if the Grizzlies had all of their future 1st round picks.)
127Overall Owner Score: B+
128
12915. David (Bucks)
130Draft: F+
131Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Klay and Tyreke, getting Reggie Jackson to fill Frank Ntilikina’s starting PG role
132Worst Offseason Moves: Trading Frank Ntilikina for rights to Kellen Grady
133Luxury: Over
134Current Situation: A (The reigning champions fell victim to some “David moves†this offseason, but Giannis and Klay are still there to run the show.)
135Overall Owner Grade: B+
136
13714. Jeffie (Trail Blazers)
138Draft: A-
139Best Offseason Moves: Drafting RJ Barrett, retaining Brandon Ingram and Lonzo Ball, finessing Simi Shittu from Confictional
140Worst Offseason Moves: Drafting Chase Jeter 19th overall, trading Gary Trent
141Luxury: Under
142Current Situation: B+ (High potentials puts this team in a good spot, but not having their 1st for this coming draft is going to hinder their rise to greatness for a year.)
143Overall Owner Grade: B+
144
14513. Devaunte (Timberwolves)
146Draft: B
147Best Offseason Moves: Resigning KAT, matching WCS, signing Kelly Oubre
148Worst Offseason Moves: None
149Luxury: Under
150Current Situation: B+ (Devaunte has turned the Timberwolves into a threat, but it’s hard to give this team any high praise. The roster just feels average, but if the Wolves can get hot, look out.)
151Overall Owner Grade: B+
152
15312. Ed (Pacers)
154Draft: B
155Best Offseason Moves: Acquired Pistons 2020 1st, took a cap dump in Tony Snell for plenty of future picks
156Worst Offseason Moves: Waived Bojan Bogdanovic
157Luxury: Way under
158Current Situation: B+ (The team isn’t great now but it’s young enough to contend in a few years’ time. Ed’s patience is more than likely to pay dividends for a mixed bag team like the Pacers.)
159Overall Owner Grade: B+
160
16111. Bk (Mavericks)
162Draft: A
163Best Offseason Moves: Acquired Wizards and Kings 1st round picks, drafted sleeper Cameron Reddish, finessed Frank Ntilikina from Milwaukee, accepted TOs for Dennis Smith and Thon Maker
164Worst Offseason Moves: Let the Twolves resign KAT
165Luxury: Under
166Current Situation: A- (The Mavs are far from good, but the potential is all there. Plenty of 1st round picks, many bad contracts expiring, and enough young talent to make Joel Embiid blush. The Mavs will be a team very quick to rise thanks to Bk’s tenacity.)
167Overall Owner Grade: A-
168
16910. Deffau (Jazz)
170Draft: B
171Best Offseason Moves: Drafted Kris Wilkes, dumped Derrick Favors, resigned Seth Curry and Cameron Payne
172Worst Offseason Moves: None
173Luxury: Under
174Current Situation: A (Deffau has an all-star starting five, with Isaiah Thomas, Donovan Mitchell, Marvin Bagley and DeAndre Jordan all threats to make an impact on any given night. The team doesn’t feel entirely dynamic, but it feels complete. Mitchell and Bagley offer the Jazz a bright future.)
175Overall Owner Score: A-
176
1779. Kenny (Nets)
178Draft: N/A
179Best Offseason Moves: Landing Boogie, maxing DLo
180Worst Offseason Moves: Getting the bad end of two Player Options (Harrison Barnes, Allen Crabbe)
181Luxury: Way over
182Current Situation: B- (The roster looks rather good but Kenny needs to find a way to clear cap or his future takes a huge hit.)
183Overall Owner Grade: A-
184
1858. Ryan (Hornets)
186Draft: B+
187Best Offseason Moves: Signing LeBron, drafting Naz Reid, resigning Malcolm Brogdon, accepting Dejounte Murray’s TO, bolstering the bench with Gary Trent and Georgios Papagiannis, acquiring a 1st from New Orleans for a small PJ Tucker cap dump
188Worst Offseason Moves: None
189Luxury: Over
190Current Situation: A+ (Forfeiting a 1st would not hurt this team very much. A busy offseason for Ryan paid huge dividends, and the Hornets look to bounce back from a mediocre 2018-2019 season.)
191Overall Owner Grade: A-
192
1937. FDR (Lakers)
194Draft: N/A
195Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Jimmy Butler, getting Alex Abrines at a minimum
196Worst Offseason Moves: None
197Luxury: Over
198Current Situation: B (The talent is there, but so many of FDR’s players are regressing and won’t be around for long. That being said, it cannot be said that FDR has mismanaged the team. Kyle Kuzma is the piece they needed to build a future around.)
199Overall Owner Grade: A
200
2016. Mebunny (Knicks)
202Draft: A
203Best Offseason Moves: Drafting Romeo Langford, resigning Kristaps Porzingis, signing Will Barton and Nikola Mirotic
204Worst Offseason Moves: None
205Luxury: Under
206Current Situation: A (With all their 1st round picks still intact and many bad contracts expiring, as well as having Sexton, Langford and Porzingis on the team, the Knicks are another team that Mebunny is looking to perfectly turn around.)
207Overall Owner Grade: A
208
2095. Jmei (Rockets)
210Draft: C
211Best Offseason Moves: Landing Anthony Davis, Charles Matthews and Jamal Murray in trades, resigning Sam Dekker
212Worst Offseason Moves: Waiving Svi Mykhailuk (This doesn’t hurt the Rockets at all, I just love Svi)
213Luxury: Under
214Current Situation: A (CP3 and Harden may be out, but a solid young core is in for Houston. With most of his picks belonging to other teams, Jmei has looked to players already in the NBA to build a future around, and it appears that it will work.)
215Overall Owner Grade: A
216
2174. Brian (Raptors)
218Draft: A
219Best Offseason Moves: Drafted sleeper Sekou Doumboya, resigned Jonas Valanciunas, retained Jakob Poeltl and OG Anunoby, dumped Ibaka and got picks in exchange
220Worst Offseason Moves: None
221Current Situation: A- (Brian works his magic once again. The team is not yet perfect, and it’d be hard to call them dynamic, but the Raptors are set for a good season, and a good offseason with expiring contracts and plenty of picks.)
222Overall Owner Score: A
223
2243. Joseph (Magic)
225Draft: B+
226Best Offseason Moves: Drafting Jaylen Hands and Bruno Fernando, dumping Evan Fournier, signing Khris Middleton
227Worst Offseason Moves: Poor reaches for diamond players in the draft
228Luxury: Under
229Current Situation: A- (Now equipped with a better-than-average starting 5 and all their 1st round picks, the Magic are a team that should slowly trend upward.)
230Overall Owner Grade: A
231
2322. Rapid (Bulls)
233Draft: C
234Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Hassan Whiteside, signing Kemba Walker, accepting TOs for Lauri Markkanen and Taurean Prince
235Worst Offseason Moves: Cristiano Felicio cap dump
236Luxury: Under
237Current Situation: A- (Not the best team in the East by any means, but Rapid has built a strong core for Chi Town and the Bulls are looking to make a deep playoff run.)
238Overall Owner Grade: A
239
2401. Lava (Suns)
241Draft: N/A
242Best Offseason Moves: Resigning Devin Booker, landing John Collins and Terry Rozier
243Worst Offseason Moves: None
244Luxury: Barely under
245Current Situation: A+ (The team is still very young but having Booker, Ayton and Gobert make them a force to be reckoned with in the West. Lava is still handling his teams very efficiently.)
246Overall Owner Grade: A
