1980s All-stars Draft - Discussion thread

[Snakebites]

So strange. I know Magic dominated in the 80s, but this still somehow felt like a bad Magic draft pool.

Maybe I'm just nuts.

Lol I forgot about MJ being available in this draft. But Bird still has his merits for this pool.

I prefer Bird in this pool to MJ but I might have gone Magic 1st.

I strongly considered Magic because Mike is about 10 fga (gulp) more. But I'm thinking Jordan is a even more dominant talent in this pool. We'll see.

The second pick on the turn was a real struggle for me. Chuck was the BPA but I didn't like the fit with Moses on either end, and so many of the other options are on a similar level. Sid seemed to offer the best mix of talent, cost, fit, and flexibility going forward.

I would have really loved it if you'd taken Magic- I was hoping to get Jordan. You 100 percent made the right choice.

Love Magic but he's not who I wanted to build with in this pool. I anticipate starting a few non-all stars in this one, and Kareem seemed better suited for that sort of team.

Screw you guys


Magic was thr clear number 1 choice as the best players of the 80s are super high fga with less than idealodern "spacing" magic is pure, cheap and elevated everyone on his team.

So there take that.

Bird is still better than magic though except for this draft.

Fade has my options (I asked him to wait somewhat before picking for me, to increase the chance I'm available for my 3rd-4th double pick, already midnight at my timezone)

He was BPA at 3. I passed him because I struggle with him and I knew my favorite pairs with him would be unavailable.

Hurt me to let Bridges go to flaco there, but the PG options were too thin on the ground.
