Well, it died. I dragged it out too long, and it died. This is my fault. But, I owe it to you guys to end with some kind of resolution. I tried to think of a way to wrap everything up quickly, and I couldn't think of a good way. Free Agency left too many loose ends. My life got too chaotic to keep up with the mock, and honestly, Fanspo entirely.

So, here's my idea. I will make a post linking the mock spreadsheet, and I will allow the community to basically share their thoughts on who did what good. Commenting things like, who would win the Finals, this year and the year after, the best GM, the most different roster, etc. Really anything you can think of. I'll link the post here: https://fanspo.com/nba/s/nba_mocks/p/OVt1iDq2bZgq0t/2026-off-season-mock-resolution

Once again, I'm sorry it had to end like this. I'm hoping to stick around and make posts time to time if I feel the motivation lol. I had so much fun running this mock, seriously. I hope everyone learned a little about how financials work in the NBA. It is, in my opinion, the most underrated part of our favorite sport.

I would like to shout-out a couple GMs. Alexlkaufer - he did a great job educating me on some things I did not know about the salary cap. BrighterKarma and ScottieB4DPOY and KyleKuzma999 - you guys carried the mock with your endless activity - the majority of the mock's trades included the Raptors or Wizards. King_Carter - you joined the mock late, and instantly got started, building a heavyweight team. And if your name wasn't mentioned, just know I am still extremely appreciative that you gave your time to this project of mine!
