Considered drafting Wade just to be able to use his new statue picture. I'm relieved that Fade did it lol

That statue is the worst I’ve ever seen.

He looks like an orc from Lord of the Rings.

I can’t see the resemblance to Wade at all.

Not thrilled with the draft spot in this one but this seems like a path that gives me some options.

That KD pick is a steal. I guessed LeBron, KG and maybe Kawhi going top three and was debating between KD and Shaq for fourth. KD, George, and the first pick in the third will be a tough big three in this.

Maybe it's just me, but not in a million years would I take 2022 KD fourth in this pool. That's still a nice double pick by flaco but I certainly don't view it as unbeatable.

Ops forgot it had to be Brooklyn. Still seems like a good value for last pick.

back to the wade statue. and thinking back to the Iverson one.

which would you rather? A microstatue that was actually accurate? or a larger statue that showed absolutely no likeness to the player whatsoever lol

Just curious but is Oscar legal? I would have drafted him probably but it appears we took Sacramento out and Milwaukee was never in. Just checking

Lists in this thread and the draft thread are identical. Don't think Oscar can be drafted.

He can't. I'm assuming durantbird was using a shortlist from a previous iteration of the game.
