Well now I have decisions to make. Dikembe now gives me lots of options. Can use him for Denver or dpoy, can use Tor Kawhi or use dpoy Kawhi and get Portland Drexler.

Wanted to fit Deke in but there wasn’t really a way to make it make sense for my team.

I assumed Laimbeer would take him :)

Could be play back up point guard? :D
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

Then again, it's still just as well I took Moses considering what transpired after. :lol:


My options were all still open (other than Dr. J) with Hakeem & Kidd and those 2 picks. I left it as open as possible being on the back end like that. Once Sheed was still there, it made the path easier for me. Happy with how it played out actually.

Would ‘19 Kawhi championship run be viewed better with Houston Drexler or should I go dpoy Kawhi and take prime Drexler? Can’t make up my mind on this one

Since you have Chuck as a legit first option, I'd go with the latter. 2015-16 Kawhi is still insanely valuable, just not an elite high-volume scorer as yet.

Always love getting Dunn, and I take him quite a bit.

Nuggets are kind of tough/rough for good role players. For 4.4 FGA’s I can’t complain. All NBA D 2 | DPOY (7).

Hmm. Am I willing to tank my bench for 2024 Maxey. That would leave me with 7.4 FGA for two guys.

Or I can use secondary Maxey and be more all in on my bench.

2023 Maxey should be a good secondary ball handler with Lebron. Drazen likely plays the Ginobili role either way with KCP/Ariza starting.

There’s nobody left on the nets or rockets that I even want haha. No real good role players I can think of
