Yeah, flaco picking the Hawks makes perfect sense. :lol:

Horford is a nice additional option for them.

I don't think so.

Warriors were a great pick. I would've taken them if they were available. Wilt, Steph, Klay, Penny, Draymond...

Done

I wanted to pick the Lakers so badly. But I was too worried the pairs I liked with them wouldn't fall. Pitfall of a low but not low enough draft choice.

Every pick had possible pitfalls- there were great MVPs available and great supporting teams available, but I simply had no confidence that a specific team would drop.

If there's any team that would be OP without the Finals MVP rule it's the Lakers. :lol:

Being able to secure both Jones and Cooper alongside Magic is still a nice bonus though.

I 100 percent would have taken the Pacers if Paul George didn’t have that pesky All-NBA First team.

Jokic/AD was a pie in the sky idea but I figured Roddy would probably take him.

Still some good options left.

Bulls-Grizzlies was definitely on my radar as a pairing.

Gasol, JJR and Battier are great fits with Jordan, conley too

I could fueld a strong team with just those 2 teams.

BIGS: JACKSON JR, pau, gilmore
Wings: jordan, butler, battier
Points: conley

Lowry or Conley as well.

It might be the best group of supporting stars available from one franchise.

Oh yeah, neither one of them was drafted by the Grizzlies.

Fade has my options

Almost took Minnesota first round, surprised they weren't selected earlier

Sorry guys- I’ll take care of the sheet when I get back home. I made that on a different Google account.

It looks like the franchise I would have paired with the Lakers would have been available. My plan with them actually would have involved using a Lakers-drafted center.

But I thought somebody would take the Wolves so I still ended up on top. I originally wanted either the Nuggets (Jokic/AD with the menagerie of role players to round out that team) or an undrafted team with multiple MVPs to choose from.

Had I taken the Bulls I would have wanted the Knicks so I guess I’m glad I didn’t go in that direction. I think the Grizzlies were solid plan B with the Bulls for me- I think there a good pick without either Gasol. JJJ and Lowry slot well there and he still has flexibility to possibly upgrade one of them later.
