Run the Franchise

You're not the coach. You're the one who hires him. Take over any basketball franchise, from 2020 to today, and build a dynasty.

Free to start · Plays in your browser · Phone and desktop

Every dynasty starts with one decision. Who you draft. Who you trade. Who you pay, and who you let walk. Make enough right calls and you raise a banner. Make enough wrong ones and you're cleaning out your office.
