WE TALKIN' 'BOUT PRACTICE A Post-AI 76ers Chise

[vrobx1]

This may be like my NBA 08 Chise with the Warriors as I've never used this game before. I had to choose between the 76ers and Trailblazers as they both had the lowest overall score. But having an owner's profile to study helped me make my decision.

76ers Owner: Terence Gambin
Personality: Fan
Focus: Improve Team

Trailblazers Owner: Scott Blake
Personality: Entrepreneur
Focus: Make Money

Since I'd rather win games than get rich, I chose to go with the 76ers.

With two positions open and the owner wishing to improve the team, I went out and hired the best two scouts available, R. Flory and B. Sloan, both of whom are considered "masters" at scouting. Each man signed a 5 year contract that pays each of them $1.0M a year.
