Just to clarify, seasons used from 69-70 to 75-76 get the 0.85 multiplier, correct?

Yes but not if you take a player I want.

Your pick!

Glad someone snatched up Dr. J before he fell too far - Kawhi and him is a pretty ridiculous duo. Will make my pick in a sec

Yea I wanted J.

I wish poop would have gotten cute. My 2nd round targets really flying off the board.

Ballsy pick by wackbone taking two guys who really have only ever played the same single position. Not saying that one of them couldnt play sg full time but it will definitely look a little odd as they never did. I like it though. Bpa ftw, lol.

Duncan was the guy i mentioned earlier, so he didnt slip too far.

This is a really fun draft so far, im into it.

Exactly, always BPA

. I never got to watch Dr. J play, so I am going to keep it safe and play him at SF. Watching Kawhi play, he guards their best offensive player 2-4 anyways, so him being listed as my starting SG isn't really that big of a stretch. He still has the speed to keep up with them. I really don't think it will be a huge issue.

I'm pretty uber frustrated about it. He managed to slip the 2nd round swing and not get snatched up by either of those picks and then the only two guys in front of me both drafted SFs in the first round so it's like "ooo! ooo! Mine! He's the perfect guy to pair with Shaq that's an awesome duo." Then he gets snatched by a guy with a SF and it's like "NOOOO!!!" :lol:

And so now I'm left with more awkward fits and/or slight reaches on talent. Aw well, that's how it goes in the draft.

I broke a cardinal rule of mine drafting a non Magic pg in the first round.

Sorry mate. Had to take him. He is too good to pass up. I wonder if I swapped the picks if Kawhi would be available at my second pick? Probably, as Erving is the better player imo. This is such a deep talent pool for the first 2 rounds or so so everyone should get a halfway decent pairing.

I'll take 13 if he's still down. Don't want to hold the draft up for too long though so I'll just keep 6 if I don't hear from him soon

He's down. He sent me a PM with his list in which he said he was waiting on you to confirm the swap.

Perfect - 6 is all his

Thanks, guys. Very happy to get Wilt at #6. He's so iconic, he's a bucket list player in any version. His low FGAs and abilities give me a lot of flexibility. It was almost impossible for me to peg him - I thought he could go anywhere from top 5 to late first.

No one from my list has gotten taken but it's still such a short list that i'm worried nobody will be there

pelifan · Post #155 » by **pelifan** » Mon Mar 20, 2017 9:21 pm

And I had just come up with an evil plan involving Barkley with another forward rebounder. :cry:

a future game for sure though.

You guys want poop to stop winning these games? Stop helping him by doing things like letting Walton fall to the fourth pick in round 2.

KD/Walton doesn't scare me very much.

Walton is underrated here because he's skinny and white.
