"My stats look a lot better now, though quite a few of them are still kind of low. For now, I'm still relying mostly on my badges, so I've got to keep working hard. These next two years are the Thunder's best chance to win a championship. After that, Westbrook will start to decline, and with the pandemic that might hit in 2020, if Turtle Turtle's lungs take another hit, he'll fall off a cliff for good."
The Thunder's core was built around its Big Three. Westbrook and Butler's all-around playmaking raised the team's floor, while Chen Xi served as the dagger, raising its ceiling.
But if Westbrook's level dropped, the team would run into serious trouble. Besides, Butler was willing to accept a smaller role and a lower salary for a chance at a championship, but he couldn't keep doing that forever.
That meant Chen Xi had to think more carefully about his future plans.
Should he stay with the Thunder? That was the question.
Judging by the system's plans, winning a championship would unlock a series of Dynasty Road quests. Even the name made it clear the system wanted Chen Xi to build a dynasty at least once.
But the Thunder played in a small market, and the owner wasn't exactly rich. Honestly, winning even one championship would already be an incredible achievement.
The chances of building a dynasty were slim.
Of course, if a nomadic dynasty counted, then Chen would have to follow in the footsteps of those who came before him~~

He could stay in a small market and ask the owner for influence over the front office, then use his foresight to pick up affordable, high-quality role players who fit
