Could we not just include 2024-25 at this point?

I vote we include 24-25. The regular season ends today and this won't be starting until tomorrow anyway.

In.


Up Snake.

If I were Fade I’d pass on the obvious choice out of boredom. :lol:

This didn’t feel like a Dirk pool for whatever reason. It was between he and Wade for me.

Bottom looks like the place to be. Hope good options will still be available when I'm up

This isn't a pool to get creative with. :lol:

I on the other hand have no choice but to be more creative.

The drop off after the first couple picks of round two was something else this time.

Yeah I think the middle picks are at the largest disadvantage here. db and I have Jokic and LeBron, so we'll be fine, and the bottom picks got 2 good guys, but the middle picks with lesser and/or more difficult fitting stars will be in for a world of hurt for their second and third guys

Yeah.

It didn't feel like a particularly lucky roll to land at 6 in this one. 2025 has been a year where my teams have been fairly unsuccessful. Maybe the new voting system just isn't kind to me- my teams were more well liked by the smaller number of people who voted under the old system but now that everyone is getting involved my teams have taken a hit.

I believe Lebron will be paired with a similar caliber player to Wade, which will put me in a tricky spot here to say the least. It's why I took Mobley- of the guys I was looking at he seemed the most unique and the most flexible. Plus I think it's likely he gets an All NBA nod this year.

Am I missing someone? I don't have anyone on the board as being near Wade's calibre.

I really like that Mobley pick, kind of cheap dpoy type player that spreads the floor

Hopefully he will do well in the playoffs

Same. A certain Lakers big and several different PGs are the next best guys I see, none near Wade's level.

Didn’t word that well.

I meant Lebron is getting a comparable second banana to the one Wade got in this game.

It’s the middle that’s bad- the top few picks will be fine.

There’s no real way to fix the draft order for the middle.

Ah OK. I do agree Mobley had a monster year though. He should be in the mix for All-NBA First Team IMO.
