Two Franchises Mesh Draft - Discussion

[Snakebites]

I didn't dare hope the Bulls fell any further. They have the (highly debatable) GOAT plus really solid players in every category.

Okay, maybe a little. Most of the options I personally WANTED to use have been selected. To be clear, there's still some "good" picks left, just not ones that fit my personal tastes for this game.

[Snakebites]

Flaco's time is up in about 36 minutes (that's 3 hours from when the previous pick was made).

A heads up, I'll likely be waiting for him to pick since he'd do the same for me. Plus I think having another pick between my two picks is actually a negative for me.

Mike Conley just HAD to make one all star game huh

Left my options to Laimbeer, but if my clock starts after 8pm I'd like to pick myself in the morning

Was trying to avoid reusing the Raptors, but just couldn't find the right mix. I'll probably be using a completely different quartet though.

Raptors was who I was gping to take next

Hmm

Spent the better part of the last couple of hours going through almost every possible option, and have narrowed it down to 2 possible teams. I am completely torn on which of these 2 teams I would prefer, so I am hoping that flaco will take one of them so I don't have a difficult decision.

I know who I’d want with the Bulls. Or rather who I was planning on when I thought the Bulls might fall.

Billups has a finals MVP, therefore you have 2 category 1 players

We changed the definition of category 1 from the previous draft because the first definition didn't make as much sense as the current one

[durantbird]

- Category 3: Two players who have ever been selected to an All-Star game or to an All-NBA team

Can this be a 1st Team all-NBA player? Sorry if it has been asked but it reads like it can be, but I'm under the impression it cannot be.

It cannot be, it's kind of implied from the context same as category 2 cannot be an MVP

The Finals MVP only has any impact on a players’ category if they have an All NBA First as well- which upgrades them from category one to two.

Billups is category 3.

Small fix to be clear: Finals MVP + All NBA First (Kawhi, West, Wade, DJ) means category 1

Typo- I meant two to one.

I gotta say I didn't see the Piston pick coming. Will be interested to see what wack does with it.

I figured it was likely Flaco wanted the Pacers. I didn’t anticipate he’d also want the Clippers. Irony is I’m not even using the player I assume he was targeting at that spot.

TBH I think I prefer his Magic team over one with Paul George, unless he had some other tricks up his sleeve with the Pacers/Clippers.

To me the Clippers always felt like a first round team. I always figured the Pacers were a strong possibility for me in round 2- they are a very good team”secondary” team in this setup.
