He had to repick because the pair he wanted wasn't valid.

Why weren't they valid?

What do you mean? Miami/Cleveland is valid.

Not picking any wing in round one was a risk. Glad to get Ray/Iggy in round 2. Perfect fit.

Oh, I just assumed it wasn't because he changed it. :lol:

I think he was going for Lakers/Cavs maybe?

Heat/Cavs is fine though, and Lakers EJ isn't even in the time frame. Not sure what to do now.

I think he realised Lakers Jones wasn't eligible, and just assumed the pairing couldn't work without noticing there was another option.

He should probably keep the original pairing?

He picked Mitchell/Jones originally- valid via Miami/Cleveland. He “re-picked” to Carter/EJ but that pick was never invalid.

While new, I thought if you picked an eligible pick you stuck with it.

Yes.

My suspicion is that LR for a second time messed up the time restriction and thought he was taking Lakers EJ, then changed it to VC/EJ after realizing.

Mitchell with Miami EJ is also a very good pick. I think we need DB to make a ruling here.

Is there a ruling to make? Larry changed his pick because he thought it was ineligible, but it isn't. You can't change an eligible pick.

Anyway, if you all want to wait on durantbird that's fine, but he probably won't be on for a while based on his timezone.

You’re right. Let’s just move.
