Damn you Flaco!!!

You could have selected him in round 3. Chances are Bird would have still been available in the later rounds. I was kinda worried I jumped the gun as well with Sabonis. I was tempted to leave him for my 5th pick. I then remembered Snakebites was planning to select him in the international draft and I didn't wanna risk it anymore.

Btw, Metta was a terrific defender as well!



Yeah. I am happy woth metta

Fade partners up with Lowry more times than Martin Lawrence :lol:

I was torn between Lowry and Dame and Fade gave some help with that decision. What the heck, these are fairly loaded teams and I needed a bit of a splash.

It’s funny, no Sheed or Eddie Jones, but this team still feels pretty on-brand for Fade.

Lowry falling this far is why I almost refused to take CP3. Still viable star point guards being taken.

Was going to take a role player there, but then I saw the "not enough firepower" votes in the flames.

Mullin is a better overall player than Peja. Crazy drop.

To be clear, he isn't the guy I wanted to pick here. Ness also took that guy. So here we are. Taking shots at his previous pick. Because I'm petty like that

Still though, CP3 with Reggie, Iggy, and Mullin as a wing rotation to work with is pretty deadly. Sure, I wanted an offensive big man to go with that group instead, but this can work too.

It appears maybe Dr P was busy, not paying attention, and mistakenly skipped wack because she/he didn't even quote me.

Kemp is probably the guy I think gets taken too late in most of these. Really great value in the 5th
