A similar premise can be done with presidents/gms-

Anthony Parker- Magic/Raptors
Calvin Booth- Nuggets/Wizards
Trajan Langdon- Cavs/Pistons
Elton Brand- Clippers/Sixers
Pat Riley- Heat/Lakers
Sean Marks- Spurs/Nets
Mike Dunleavy Jr- Warriors/Bucks
Kevin Pritchard- Pacers/Celtics
Danny Ainge- Jazz/Suns
Landry Fields- Knicks/Hawks

It generally is in pair games.

Bit of a fall for DRob too, even 2000 version

Durantbird with the ultimate flexible pick in Kidd/DFS.

I almost took Nash/Bridges. The cost of Nets Bridges was tough to justify though. I also considered a different Maverick guard. I’d have been in dire straits FGA-wise. So I went with Harden and a cheaper wing defender.

Honestly I’ve been kind of directionless ever since I didn’t land Billups/Blazer player.

The vision was to create an upgraded version of the Pistons with Reggie in the Rip role and KG up front.

Not sure what the pivot even looks like now.

Surrounding Rose/Kobe with shooting galore, as best as I can. Had no intention of picking Kobe, but as I said when I took him I know that if I didn't then Fade would have had Kobe+LeBron and would have had this locked up in Round 2. It's largely due to guys like me who made picks that were more on feel/vibes instead of what was best. Also in part because the Magic have so few guys to pair with the All-NBA 1st Lakers

I feel like that ship sailed with durantbird's first two pairs, whether or not I got Kobe.

I dont think I dont stand a chance in this one.

Was hoping for Porzingas and draymond for ky final 2 rounds of pairs...that might have let me be OK, but my teak, I thikk, is mid at best.

Steph Jimmy was a great pair to start with, but I would've definitely used the next pick on DRob personally

I though I had a slight chance at getting him because LR would have to use a second rounder on him.

I underestimated the love.
