There are 6 guys I want for my 2nd round pick, 6 picks before I go again. Just need at least ONE of them to be available.

You probably have the best approach to this draft. Time will tell. Luka and AD is just too good to pass up IMO.

It's certainly a gamble. We shall see!

When I made a quick list of the players in this draft I felt were legitimate alphas. The only one left at my second round pick was Kevin Durant. I'm probably a little behind the times. LOL

Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy

Even though older lebron and curry should make a lethal duo and OG can pick up some defemsive slack.


Maybe I should put Lebron at Center.....

I don't think he's been a "legitimate alpha" for a couple of years at least, but that's not an issue when he's paired with someone like Shai.
