Or the second... really #1 and the low picks are best.

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

Fade has my options.

I ain't leaving options for round 3 because that would be way too complicated, but the clock doesn't start until tomorrow anyway.

Probably 10 but might be fine for 12 as well. We can cap it at 10 though

Barkley was one of my top targets, and I thought he'll be a first rounder. Really like the fit with SGA. Interesting to see what the supporting pieces will look like in this pool.

Not popular in these games, but I think Embiid getting paired with Oscar is really strong.

I somehow missed Paul was in this draft despite being on 2 teams.
It's going to be a glorious day... I feel my luck could change
