Re: Contracting Player Pool Draft - Discussion Thread
I probably should have gone Giannis, I loved the idea of Durant/Giannis. I’ve had varied results building around Giannis though and it’s been a long time since I’ve tried building around a center like that.
Shaq was just absurd value. The restriction doesn’t scare me too much, not with the more lax form of it.

I had posted Giannis before I realized you were up, but I was having buyer's remorse about not taking Shaq. I think you will be fine in regards to the restriction. I think Giannis has started garnering more respect in these games in recent months. Plus I like still having 28 franchises available after my 1st 2 picks.

Re: Contracting Player Pool Draft - Discussion Thread
Since there's no rule discussing defunct franchises, I won't include those....

It's not that Giannis doesn't get respect. He totally does.
Buidling around him is a little tricky, though potentially rewarding. Shaq/Durant seemed like a really easy sell.
Words cannot describe how badly I wanted Dirk there, though. 2 seven footers with perimeter skill sets just gives me the warm fuzzies. I'm also surprised Dirk didn't go sooner. Obviously he's a guy I like better than a lot of people do, but I thought he'd be particularly attractive in this game since he plays for a franchise that doesn't usually have that many chosen seasons.
In retrospect we probably should have reduced the player pool with such a small draft.

Man, this might have been the draft to just go ABABAB in.
Those bottom teams are gonna be looking good. Hmmhmmm.

I don't think you should be able to draft Gervin (he played for Virginia). Also the Nets aren't a defunct franchise

Euro loses Philly, Nets and Virginia cause of Erving (ABA Nets are included as part of their history on basketball reference)

Yea I messed that up, the Nets are legal for euro, but Gervin is not (not that he is a good pick in this anyways)
Why would Gervin not be legal?
Ardee said that Euroleague would hypothetically be able to choose Pau Gasol as long as he didn't choose a Laker season for him.
The Nets on the other hand are NOT legal for him since a player he has played for them.

“ players from Chicago and Washington are not eligible in Round 2/the remainder of the draft for that drafter.”
This seems to imply any player who has been on those teams is ineligible.

Re: Contracting Player Pool Draft - Discussion Thread
CP3 dropped quite far. I almost took him with Magic, was expecting Colbinii to draft him. That's a steal
