Can’t believe Kidd was sitting available for so long, so deep into the draft

Well there it goes. Thought about Kidd over Hali in round 4, couldn't help myself in round 6

You can never have too many genius level passers on one team IMO

Think he's just an odd fit with most of these teams. I couldn't talk myself into him when I already had Jokic and Butler for example.

So I asked ChatGPT who was the best team out of mine, Snake, and Jon's since we all have seven players.

At first it said: 1st: Jon, 2nd: Me, 3rd: Snake

and then I said - just to clarify, these are the seasons of my players (I didn 't mention any of Snake or Jon's seasons) and it said - oh with this additional information the new rankings are:
1st: Snake, 2nd: Me, 3rd: Jon

That's the Ginobili effect.

But the fact that it flipped me and Jon despite receiving no additional information about either of us really speaks to why ChatGPT probably shouldn't be used to judge these teams.

lol I do the same sometimes. I did it for my matchup for Dr P in the other draft and both ChatGPT and Gemini said my team would win a 7 game series, but then I got swept by voters lol.
A few drafts ago I couldn’t figure out who to pick so I made a list of a few guys and it gave me a ranking and said whoever was number 1 would be perfect because of whatever reasons, then I edited it to add another guy for it to rank and the guy they had number one then went to the bottom and it listed why they were the worst fit haha

I need to repick Jason Terry, I messed up my count of FGA, I only would have 5.4 left, not enough to complete a team.

Jason Terry

I need to change this to Marcus Smart.

I messed up my FGA count and I would not have enough to complete a team (only 5,4 FGA left) I thought Terry was 9.4 but I read the wrong season, its 13.7

ok

Thanks,

sorry about that everyone, hope I didnt bang anyone on that.

Thrilled to get GPII, one of my favorite role player seasons of all time

I, on the other hand, assumed he won't make it to me, though I had at least one more guy higher

Seems shallow. Defining 00s stars like Shaq and Duncan are out of it. Quite a few other stars devalued.

I’ll play.
