[Lamrock]

Great team selection. Sorry to see your Lakers go, but I can't really root for a defending champion Laker team anyway. Good luck with this. Sessions for MVP.

Prologue

Buzzer sounds… Minnesota won against the Milwaukee Bucks 101-89. A nice win to end another terrible season by Minnesota, The Timberwolves finished their season 29-53 to extend their playoff drought to 6 years.

After the game

“Nice win man, Big Al was like a beast tonight,” a man said to his friend. “Yeah it was nice but still we’re out of the playoffs and we’ve got nothing to do for a very long time.” the other man answers. “It’s always like that huh, anyways want to stay at home and have some drink?” asking his friend. “Nah, I’ll pass this time got to go home early.” saying to his friend while looking for his car key. “I understand man, you got to work a nice write-up for your beloved Wolves. Well have a safe trip man.” Said to his friend. “You too man.” he quickly answers.

After 30 minutes of driving

“Oh man another terrible season, another playoff drought.” He thought that the team needs to be busy this off season for Big Al to be happy. While thinking what to write for tonight’s game recap he checks his mail and got surprised on one of message, it’s from the T-Wolves owner. He reads the message quietly. “Good evening Mr. Kamla, If you got some time tomorrow would you kindly visit me in my office.” Rick finished reading the message and thinking why the team owner would want to talk to him.

------
The next day

“Good morning sir” Rick said. “Oh Kamla you came, come in and sit down.” Glen said excitedly. Rick quickly enter and sit nervously. “You want some coffee?” Glen said. “No thank you sir.” Rick thinks it would only make him more nervous. “So Mr. Taylor, why do you want to talk to me?” Rick said nervously. “I’m going straight to the point. I want you to be the GM of the wolves.” Glen said. “What?!? What happened to David, Why me?” Rick said “Calm down Kamla, I want you to be the next GM cause I know how much you love the team forget about David I just don’t like him.” Glen said. “Well sir I don’t think Im the right guy, I would like to think about it.” Rick said while imagining the images of him having a private jet, a nice hotel and having some great time with the team. “Look Kamla I don’t want to be rude but I need to know your decision right away.” Glen said with a serious look. “But sir I have a job and I think I will miss the times I have with Kenny, Charles and the others.” Rick said. “Ok so your not up to the challenge of bringing this team to glory, How about I give you an offer you wouldn’t resist?.” “What offer sir.” Rick answers quickly. “I will give you Lebron James in our fantasy league for nothing.” Glen said with a smile on his face. “Sir you got yourself a deal.” Rick said excitedly.

@TheDee Ok man I'll do my best to make him ROY

[Dee.]

Good read.

[Kenny]

Is Nathan Jawai on your team?

Either way this should be pretty interesting. Nice team to rebuild

[dare]

@TheDee I still don't have a writing skill like Sit or Lamrock but still I will try my best in this dynasty

@badreligionau Yup he is in here, hope you follow man.

[kibaxx7]

Ah, I don't like Fantasy Drafts... but hey, I will check this now and then.

[Lamrock]

I don't think its a fantasy draft.

[Dee.]

Well he wrote ''New players'' so it could be.

[kibaxx7]

I don't think its a fantasy draft.

“Ok so your not up to the challenge of bringing this team to glory, How about I give you an offer you wouldn’t resist?.” “What offer sir.” Rick answers quickly. “I will give you Lebron James in our fantasy league for nothing.” Glen said with a smile on his face. “Sir you got yourself a deal.” Rick said excitedly.

[Lamrock]

"If you decide to be our GM, then we will give you LeBron James for free." Pretty sure it means that the protagonist and owner are in a fantasy league together.

Chapter 1 --- Fantasy Start

“Well guys this are all the time we’ve got this end’s the interview with Mr.Kamla.” the official said. “Wait, just one fast question sir.” said by the reporter. “Ok, what is it?” Rick asked. “Sir just what can we expect now from this team?” The reporter asked. “There’s going to be a change, you will got to watch a fun team and a winning team.” Rick said with a smile on his face.

------
In the main office

“So how was the interview?” Glen said. “It’s fine, just a little nervous it felt like the first time I interview live but overall it’s good.” Rick said. The two went on some discussions about the teams issues, They talked for about two hours. “Well that’s about all of it, anyways want to play some golf later?” Glen asked. “Nah, that’s not my thing besides I don’t want to be like MJ. You go ahead sir and have some fun I got lots to do from now on.” Rick said. “That’s the spirit, turn this franchise around Mr. GM.” Glen said leaving with a smile.

“Turn this franchise around, yeah easy for you to say.” Rick said to himself. Rick then turn his attention to his laptop and look at the results of the pre-season games. “One win and 7 loss, what should I do to this team we lack the defensive presence, can’t handle the ball well and no chemistry.” He remembered that the team has practice this evening and decided to watch the team.

At the Gym

“C’mon guys show some hustle, dive for the loose ball and show some guts.” screamed by a large man. Balls our flying around the gym and the players our all running to get the loose ball. “C’mon guys Run! Run! Run! get the damn ball.” said by the large man. “Yo coach” Rick said. The large man turns around and said “I’m not the coach!” Rick got surprised he thought that the one screaming was coach Rambis but it was the oldest looking player on the team Brian Cardinal. “Sorry about that Brian, I thought you were the coach with all that screaming, by the way where’s coach Rambis got something to asked him” Rick said. “He is the office talking with Sessions.” Brian said. Rick went in the office whistling while thinking how old Brian looks, He enter the office without knocking. “Hey coach” Rick said “Have you ever heard of knocking Rick.” Rambis said. “Ok Rick what brings you here can’t you see I’ve got business of my own” Rambis said while pointing at Sessions. “Just want to know how the team is; you know that I’m the GM right?" Rick said smiling. “Yeah we all know that a fantasy guru is our GM, but you should know that this is not fantasy league it’s the real deal. Uhmm, Ramon you should practice with the team will talk later about your issues.” Rambis said. Ramon walks out and slammed the door. “What’s his problem?” Rick asked. “He wants to start over the rookie but I can’t give him that Flynn works better with the system.” Rambis said. “Why don’t you give him a shot, you know he gives nice stats in assist.” Rick said. “I told you Rick this is not a fantasy league besides the team needs to learn it my way this is a young team and no one knows how to lead this team besides me. That’s why I didn’t assign any captain this year.” Rambis said. “Speaking of leading Brian acts like the coach out there. He’s making the team do hard drills.” Rick said while he remembers how Brian looks like. “That bastard I told the team no hard drills today its two days before the opening game.” The two stop their discussion when they heard someone calling for Rambis. “Coach! Coach!” said by Jawai while running. “What is it Nathan? Why do you look so tense?” Rambis said. “Coach come with me in the court”. Rambis and Rick quickly went to the court and to their surprised they saw Wilkins playing with an unknown skinny kid. “What the fuck!!! I’m Damien Wilkins, a Wilkins, a family of legends, you’ve got nothing on me kid!” Damien said angrily. “Yeah whatever you say, I’m just here to play” the kid said. “Hey rookie what’s going on here?” Rick said at Flynn “Just a pick-up game a race to 5, Wilkins is toying with the kid he’s up 4-0 sir.” “Just one point for me kid and it’s over for you” Wilkins said while dribbling. Wilkins crossover and goes straight to the hoop but got strip from behind by the kid. Wilkins shocked for amount the moment. The kid took his chance and nails a three pointer. Wilkins teammates were all shouting at him. “Get ready to defend man it’s my turn now.” The kid said arrogantly. The whole team was shocked as they witnessed an unknown kid scored three straight jump shots against their starting shooting guard. Rick and Rambis were amazed seeing how beautiful the kid’s jump shot form is and from that moment the two had the same idea. The kid shoots a fade away in front of Wilkins. It looks like it’s going in from that moment everyone thinks that Damien loss but before the ball hits the rim another ball hit it. “That’s enough” Rambis said. “You, come here” Rick pertaining to the kid. “Who are you?” “I’m Julian Martin” the kid said “Nice name kid” Rick said. “I’m not a kid! Don’t ever call me that” Julian said. “Well what should I call you?” Rick asked. “Dare, that’s what my friends called me.” The moment Julian says his name Rick and Rambis look to each other and have the same idea. “Kid Uhmm I mean Dare, welcome to the T-Wolves” Rick said proudly.
