My Defense should be viwed positivly. It better at least.

Dumars was a menace defending at guard
Cooper is DPOY
Gasol is DPOY
and Rose had elite hands and passing lane distruption.

Interesting.

I had two viable paths. I figured you’d choose for me but you didn’t.

Fade has my lists

Sent from my Pixel 6 using RealGM mobile app
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Between Pippen, Kobe, and Odom, I figure I don't really need an orthodox PG.

This has been pretty cool. Should definitely do something similar to this with Dikembe Mutombo.

The only team that repeats are the Knicks. You have the Nuggets, Hawks, Nets, Rockets, and Sixers. That's a lot of franchises that aren't heavily used in these games.

It's the same number of teams, so you'd need two other categories based on his accomplishments.

Some have already been brainstormed:

DPOY winners
Reached the finals with 2 different teams
All Defensive

Other ideas

At least 2 Finals appearances, no ring
Reached age 40 in the NBA
Played at least 18 seasons
Born somewhere other than North America or Europe

Those last 3 obviously wouldn't require specific seasons to be chosen.

I'm looking for some input, need help figuring out any kind of serviceable 3&D 2-guard still available, or else I'll just start Kukoc one position down. If anyone has any ideas could you DM me?

Sorry, there was only one I could think of who particularly fit that archetype, a backup sort. But you wouldn't have been able to select him.

My final pick will be an MVP/All First teammer who cannot fit into any other category.

Can I just make my 7th and 8th round picks now?
