I chose to rebuild the Heat on Hard difficulty and to my surprise I won the finals in year two! I traded away Bam, Herro, and Mitchell for lots of young assets. Zaccharie Risacher was involved in one of those trades as kind of a throw in for salary reasons but he turned out to be the best player on the team! I love seeing gritty young teams win on this game. It's crazy that this squad survived two game 7's!
While I am glad to have gotten the bittersweet achievement, it truly was bittersweet to win the finals and get fired. I took over the Grizzlies following the '26 playoffs and built a monster through the draft. I drafted two MVP's in Cam Boozer and Jalen Montonati. I knew the risk that I was running by exceeding the salary cap by massive margins. The owner kept warning me but I was determined to win a ring. After winning the 2031 finals I was fired and have watched as the beast I created continued dominating the league as the Grizzlies won 7 straight finals and made 9 straight appearances. Pain.
