The rules don't say anything about picking players during the years the comeback happened. Otherwise most of the picks so far would be ineligible.

Dude, you really need to consider reading the rules of a game carefully before signing up for it, or at least before making a pick.

At least it solves the mystery of why Trevor Ariza was the Houston wing you went with alongside CP3.

You didn't notice this about Dwight, Malone, freaking Shaq :lol:

That's wild.

Why would it? Section 1 of the rules is pretty clear. I'd still say your picks were good even with the actual restrictions

In either way.

Almost didn't realize that Jimmy was available as a Warrior.

I straight up DIDN'T realize Jimmy was available as a Warrior. I usually just assume whenever a trade happens that late in the season that they aren't.

I still think there's merit to selecting Bogut with Kyrie for my team, but there's other combos with Butler I may have considered.

BTW sorry for using AGAIN the Jimmy Harden combo. I think they've been paired in the last four drafts

You already hit the sweet spot with Shaq/Harden- I was skeptical anyone would be competing with that from a purely firepower standpoint.

But man- I think this one's already over.
