Simple enough question: Which team do you think improved their roster the most? (Rosters below)
To keep things fair since some people built their roster to compete now while others built them to compete later, each voter will get to vote twice. The first vote will go for the roster that is most improved to compete now, and the second vote will go for the roster best set for the future. Whoever ends up with the most votes wins!
Since it was a mock trade deadline exercise, the criteria for voting should be who improved their team the most to either win now or in the future. Thus, keep that in mind before simply just voting for the best overall team that didn't make any moves like the Warriors, who I was a GM of as my second team.
Note: Anyone and everyone can vote, even if you didn't participate in the mock trade deadline! (We only have 20 teams because the other 10 GMs never got back to me with their updated rosters.)
