Franchise Draft History Game Discussion Thread

This is tough to decide on what guys to go with Porter/Manu/Drexler/Duncan/Sabonis or I can go Manu/Petrovic/Drexler/Wemby/Duncan. I think I like the latter and depending on my final team maybe i go Simone other than Drexler, who the hell knows haha

Petrovic has made an All-NBA Team, so he cannot go in category 4. The second lineup you mention is impossible for this reason.

Oh crap your right I knew he wasn’t an all star and assumed no all nba either. Makes my decision easier at least

Blazers were a nice get.

If I kept Bird/Tatum/Pierce/Billups four and tried to find a non all star C I may have taken Rockets for Capela anyway, but I think I like Hakeem flex a bit more, and has bonus of keeping Smart who I may need for starter if the last franchises don’t have a guy.

Fun looking teams all around.

I'm happy with AK but wanted Rockets to get Amen Thompson and Horry because then I could have used one of my categories on Gobert as an backup for Jokic

[Larry_Russell]

Lowry/jordan/butler/battier/mourning with hinrich, bonner and dudley off the bench...very happy with that.

I could go kukoc off bench but woyld have to use augustine and bonner amd I think the above ia better balanced


Really planned on picking JJJr but he is a poor rebounder and makes it hard to start Battier.

So I leaned into defense and fit hard.

Also get a feeling that taking charlotte might annoy some.

I don’t know if anyone else was targeting them but I sorta doubt it given the compositions. Could be wrong.

Zo makes some sense for you- I don’t see many other upgrades on the board for you.

Which all star gets the boot? Lowry or JJJ?

Gotta be jjjr.

I can put battier as my 4.

(Though someome might want Kobe)

I don’t see a team where he could slide in and be an upgrade over MVPs they can already use.

I think I need to wait ~20 minutes because it's a 3 hours clock

[Fadeaway_J]

Lakers and Suns have a crazy number of 3-and-D players to choose from.

Picking between Cavs and Minny was one of the toughest decision I had in these drafts. I was shocked Minny with Allen-Edwards-KG-Towns and even a starter-level non all star PG in Rubio, fell that much. But mainly because Allen and Edwards are among the best category 3 guys you can find.

Anyhow, I think I made the right decision. Cavs-Toronto were a pretty good franchise duo to build a LeBron team around, and by round 3 all I needed to do was check if I can improve my team by switching Laimbeer to a different center, and there were several options for that.

I think Kyrie McGrady Anunoby LeBron Lopez; Wright Green Tucker, is a by-the-book LeBron team. And pretty good firepower for the draft limitations.

Was aiming for Rasheed with the Wizards, but I like Lopez as well. Also considered a defensive Clippers center. Also highly considered paths involving Mobley or Bosh, but the restrictions of the draft made picking Mobley more problematic, as you lose another option to get some firepower from category 3.

[Snakebites]

GM will pick either the Heat or the Mavericks. Dr P gets whatever is left over.

Just to be sure, Cat 2 is All nba 1st but no finals mvp, he can be regular season mvp tho? So I can use Robinson with Duncan correct ?
