We're not doing a draft lottery.

That doesn't mean that rookies aren't contributing...

That wasn't the point of the post.

Stop bluffing Mirj.

This is still :roll:

worthy. Makes no sense whatsoever. I think the example you used was you would have taken Kobe higher? :lol:

Anyways.

We're not having a draft lottery for the worst GM's. It's also not going to a vote. If they're 'tanking' (which is funny saying considering no teams are allowed to bench their players on purpose) in the first year of a dynasty league, then they have more issues than a 'top' draft picks' gonna solve.

Just because a rookie isn't a major contributor year one doesn't mean that he won't become a major contributor in year 2. Also, I'm still confused about what's wrong with having a lottery. What are the potential negatives to it?

If you miss the playoffs because you're the 7th or 8th seed and you have a chance to get the number 1 pick in the rookie/FREE AGENT draft, then you can still consider it a 'productive' season.

More times than not its still better to have a pick within the top 3-5 range because you know you're getting the sure fire guy with the highest upside destined to get major PT.

Just take a look at the list of guys who were drafted number one or within the top 5 in recent memory:

Davis, Wall, Cousins, Harden, Irving, Griffin, Favors, Love, Lillard, etc

Some of these weren't sure fire studs out of the gates, and if you go back and do some research, there were probably a few second-late first round guys even putting up better value then them at the time but I think we can see how valuable early picks can be.

Furthermore, even though McDaniels is placing better value than Wiggins, I still wouldn't make the swap. Wiggins has the higher potential despite his value not being as high. Its worth holding on to.

If you miss the playoffs because you're the 7th or 8th seed and you have a chance to get the number 1 pick in the rookie/FREE AGENT draft, then you can still consider it a 'productive' season.

You can weight it so that there is a minimal chance for the 7th or 8th seed to get the 1st pick, but also weighting it so that there's no guarantee for the team that bottoms out to get the 1st pick.

Beating tanking teams is no fun

yes just like the real NBA, seems to me like were doing this fantasy thing right.

also that literally makes no sense, the goal is to make it to the playoffs and win, tanking teams have no effect on that. if anything they make it easier since less competition.

plus im having a lot less fun having a **** team, trust me. you act as if i want to **** tank, id rather be beating everyone, but this is my best bet long term.

honestly u just want it cuz you know theres a decent chance you dont make the playoffs and also know that you wont have any chance at a top 2 pick. selfish **** tbh.

Honestly matt you have too big of an agenda to comment on this, since you are currently the favorite to win the award on the front page.

Its the voting thats stupid. We vote on one thing, but not on another. Whether you want to agree or not things like the IL list really changed how this league was played.
