We're judging this as a win-now for this season based on the progression/regression of the current NBA. Why wouldn't injuries be taken into consideration? Why should I judge a Derrick Rose any differently based on his injury history, than potentially a guy like Rudy Gay who is now out for the year, but never had injury concerns? Obviously injury history plays its role, but I don't believe I should excuse a players current injury status because it's "not fair" to the GM who selected him. Anybody feel bad for Doc Rivers and the Clippers for Chris Paul's upcoming 1-2 month absence? Should the rest of the NBA play the games with Raymond Felton's in-game sliders turned up to CP3's attributes? Injuries happen and they should be factored.
Yes, a 6th round pick doesn't make up for a 1st or 2nd round loss...but it does help and allows them to at least add a piece to help offset some of that. They keep the player who was drafted initially. Depending on when the injury occurs, you factor that players contributions during the regular season up until that point. But why should I be judging a team in a playoff series playing a player who is out for the playoffs? God forbid a scenario in which one of these players dies in-season...do I judge his team as if he were still alive?
Let's just give the title who ever Lucked out with LeBron then and call this BAT now. I didn't see it was judged solely on one year as I joined as the 29th overall GM, but to only be graded for 1 season doesn't make a lot of sense. It should have a heavy affect on grading, being able to win/compete now...but basically make it hard to win on everyone else
Let's be real...Chris Paul will probably be back and have played a few games by the time we finish the draft
That's not even the appetizer, the equivalent of bringing you your menu.
