I would have taken Oscar in the first round and been thrilled to land him at that spot if he'd been available.

I'm torn between two guys - and I'm hoping that Larry will make the decision for me

Looking at the draftboard, this might have been a draft qhere a normal snake would have been better?

At least in name recognition

The 4 guys I was most heavily considering at my pick were Mourning, Edwards, McAdoo, and Vince. Bit of vindication to see pretty close alignment with the following picks. As I said before, I'm just doing this draft off the top of my head and not with a draft board like I always do, so I was a bit worried about missing someone.

Regarding the process of running it, we should think about that in games ideas thread or elsewhere. Main issue was that no one commented on the list being wrong during signups or idea stage, not sure how we could have avoided that

AD, TMac and Penny is pretty crazy.
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

Mark Price, to me, is the perfect PG for my team.

Spreads for McAdoo and Garnett but at the same time can really benefit from their gravity

Bob and KG both have range as well so I can keep a leaning toward the modern game that tends to do well with voters.

I hope...

Pretty happy with my draft so far. Enough FGa to round out a nice 5th starter and bench and I think that my quartet should fit very well.

Top 10 of Jokic, Kawhi, KG, Shaq, Dirk, Dr J, Durant, Davis, Paul, Doncic looks good to me.

At this point we need to just move forward.

DB is running this and he gets to choose the teams.

It’s what we should have done with LR andshould be done moving forward. I think what we saw in the last game needs to be a precedent setting moment here, as I don’t think what happened was good for the health of the community.

I’m in.

He looks like an orc from Lord of the Rings.

I can’t see the resemblance to Wade at all.
