Doug Christie never played in a finals game.



I didn’t think so either until I was browsing NBA Finals rosters on Bball reference and saw he was on the 2006 Mavs.

He was on the roster, but he didn't play in any games in the finals.

Historically, we don't pause for erroneous picks.


We don’t? I thought we did.

9. Players will get a maximum of a 2-hour window to make their selection when they are on the clock. If you still have not chosen a player by then, or if the player you have chosen is ineligible, you will be skipped. Also, if you know ahead of time that you won't be available to make your pick on the clock then please PM your selection to another participant. NOTE: If you miss one pick and have failed to make it by the time your next pick comes around, you will be skipped.

I have a funny feeling that I know who Snell's YOLO pick will be.

It's remarkable how many people overlooked Pau Gasol, myself included.

I thought about him at the 5 with KG but that leaves me a bit thin rim protection wise.

A little underwhelming offensively, but solid defensively. The fit is clean. I think I would have taken Mullin or Penny in the third.

I completely forgot about Penny. Better than Billups overall for sure.

I'm gonna roll with 02 Pierce for the extra scoring punch

This is my primary concern with how others will perceive my team. Klay is an amazing offensive player, but I'm not sure what others will think of him as the second option on my team. With someone like LeBron, I think Klay is an amazing fit. Can shoot the lights out, and also just generally take over games as needed. Having Kidd to take some of the load off is helpful too. Iggy and Love provide solid 4th and 5th options in the grand scheme of my team.

Basically I really like my team, but I anticipate being dinged for perceived lower-tier offense or just in general lower-tier star power at the top with Klay as my 2nd guy.

I think there are better fits than Kidd, but you have a very talented backcourt and LeBron James. With Kidd, Klay and LeBron, you'll be competitive.

I don't see how a team with Kidd, Klay, and Love around LeBron could be described as lacking offensively.
