just confirming player X has to play half the games for the team in season but if he's played for 2 teams (trade) the 40 is still mandatory?

If he played for multiple teams, at least 50% of his games in that season must be for one of the listed franchises.

Up Ness

I decided I didn't feel like playing Nostradamus and trying to pick what was going to fall, especially not with 6 picks between mine and the possibility of Stan coming back.

Decided to just go with a pair that could be sellable with pretty much anything.

In that spirit I definitely preferred Kawhi to KD though.

I knew Kobe and Draymond will go to MadNess because he always gets Kobe. I suppose that would've been his first pick as well.

I considered this pairing in first pick

Up for two pairs.

As it played out, I think I'd have been in better shape at Ness' spot. Kobe/Draymond is a great duo and will go well with some of the better pairs left.

As I said, I think it was a first pick worthy pairing. I'm surprised it lasted. I get it that people usually prefer other guys over Kobe in earlier picks, but you should take into account there's the Draymond (/Klay) factor here as well.

looks like a fun draft

I can jump in for Stan if he doesn't show up

He hasn't been on in nearly 24 hours. Seems best to let roddy take over now before the draft gets too unbalanced.

Please do. It's been his turn since yesterday

Given Laimbeer and lilroddyb joining late, should I have kept the signups open for 2 days more?

Anyhow Fade has my options though I really hope I get to pick myself, that was one pretty complicated list

I dunno. It’s hard to judge these things.

Just be glad we have 10.

Up. I hope DCasey shows up soon.
