no... you're in the middle, the means to their extremes. I would never think of you as the village idiot... village drunk, maybe.

He made a bad move picking him regardless of whether the pick was traded for or not.
that's what I said to him exactly.
and on top of that I said this:
If you target player X at 34. And then trade up for 35 and pick Y at 35. If player Y has the better value, who wouldn't have lasted until 40, then you essentially traded up to get player Y. Not X..

Anyways hoping for Chandler to having a bigger year in DAL.

Are you still on this? Your logic is still off. Your reasoning only works if I value Kobe higher than Ryno for my team. I don't. It doesn't have anything to do with who I think will last to 40. My big goal was to pair a high % big who can shoot 3s with Dragic. That was Ryno. I only traded up to get Kobe at 35 because I wanted a nice triple threat on points, 3s, & %s. Kobe was never a consideration for me at 34.
In fact, I made the deal for 35 AFTER I picked Ryno. (Check the time stamps). And I only made that deal because I thought 1) Kobe might not last until 47 (my next pick) and 2) I wasn't sacrificing much to do it. Now, would Kobe last until 47? maybe. But I was fine moving up for the drop at the back end.
Do you get it now Sabonis?
And I find Stick's commentary judging my choice in players ironic...considering where his team usually ends up in the standings.

Fran amuses me, he trades down to trade up to trade back down to get rid of his super low picks. It's almost like he just wanted to draft 20th and won't rest until he gets 80% of theman's picks.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wonder if this has ever been mentioned, or if it even matters, but I wouldn't be opposed the draft switching orders every 2 rounds....so instead of Woody getting 1, 40, 41....that 41 would've went to theman and snaked the opposite way, then woody gets pick 101, etc. I've had a draft position of 15-20 the last few years, and it just seems like the top 3 picks for someone picking 1-5 far outweigh the top 3 of someone picking 16th for example, even after considering later round makeups.
Maybe I'm over thinking things.
Maybe the talent pool changes every year and sometime there really are 60+ "top3" caliber players.
Maybe it's sour grapes.
It's definitely sour grapes.
I still feel it's something to chew on though.
