Saw that DB pick a mile away

I was a little surprised you didn’t take Gasol in rounds 3 or 4.

Glad you didn’t, mind you.

Bosh/Gasol were always options. But when I realized Melo was my guy, I pivoted to a nice bench piece (Caruso).

I think both Bosh and Gasol are higher impact guys than Melo, personally.

That might be a hot take.

I’m taking Melo over Bosh and Gasol every day of the week. But in these games everyone prefers those two. Melo was essentially unguardable. Put him with the Pistons core (which I did), and give him MVP Kobe… man

Not to me (at least with Pau).

Kobe and Melo on the same team? Are you going to play with 2 basketballs?

That is true. I think they would have worked out just fine personally. Just wanted to joke around.

Well I think I have done all I can.

Adding dpoy candidate center who makes a few threes in Bam and a 6moy winner in Odom to the 4 man core of the Raptors only championship which they beat a better philly, a bettwr bucks and a vastly superior GSW team.

[MadNESS]

If I were Fade I’d pass on the obvious choice out of boredom.

This didn’t feel like a Dirk pool for whatever reason. It was between he and Wade for me.

2 Elite - 5 level scorers. The Pistons main core surrounding them. Deep bench. Pretty much the “what could have been” Pistons. All high level defenders except Melo and Korver. Spacing everywhere. Champions everywhere. Well balanced. Probably lose in the play in again. But I love this one.

This seems like a good draft to use Finals Doncic.

I feel the same about my team. Took Wade over my usual standbye Dirk specifically so I could take advantage of a big dropping.

Wade is one of the elite first options in this. Mobley/Gasol is an incredible front court. Jrue is an ideal third/fourth option. Defense is elite. My team doesn’t “lack” anything.

Not sure it’s enough though. Middle teams who didn’t get two MVP level guys and also didn’t get LeBron/Joker are in a tight spot.
