Without the ringless teams I count a solid top 7 in Lebron, Dirk, Jokic, Hakeem, Giannis, Durant, Kawhi and 8th team could maybe build a Doncic team. Seems doable to me.

We have 9.

God it stinks that we can’t geT more.

The late 70s and 80s would barely add any players with these franchises so we could also go back far enough for Walton and Moses.

Yeah, too big of a pool, which is why I haven’t joined.

My brother in Christ, the last thing we need is to widen this pool even more :lol:

I think he was suggesting deepening the time frame in conjunction with eliminating franchises.

I can play, though I might occasionally get skipped.

That’s 10! Woot.

The perfect number is 12 but we can work with 10 IMO.

And now 10, so I think we're being unfair to the bottom couple without the ringless and/or nineties.

I personally think with 10 you just keep it as is.

Your call though.

I remember I used to be so sick of the later picks. Now I’m tired of the earlier ones.

Up

Defintely would have preferred any of the top 3 and was torn between a few guys at 4. The other 3 guys I considered were all bigs, and I generally don’t open with a big unless there’s a compelling reason I must do so.

Opted for scoring and relative fit flexibility.

I hate my draftspot.

Too late for the real top end talen, not late enough to nab a couple of almost superstars.

(perhaps I am wrong, I havent looked into players too hard yet)

The last of the other 3 guys I considered will still be available at your spot. All MVP 2-Way big men.

Your spot is awesome.

Generally speaking I feel like the best positions are lower positions unless you can get a GOAT candidate. 2016 Lebron might be OP in this one.

There’s some variation of course with draft pools. We’ll see what I get.

What do people think KD’s best nom-Warriors season is for these drafts?

2012-13 is the best value and closer to his peak than any eligible Nets season.
