This is not the main point I am trying to make because with only 14 teams instead of 30 you have to aim for a Mavs on steroids which I do not think you guys were able to do. You have a tiny backcourt with Jennings, Conley and Terry.
Says someone who has point guard rotation consisting of Curry and Barea - having Lou Williams (listed as SG in your rotation) doesn't really help. Case closed I guess. It shouldn't even be an issue, we have Jordan Crawford at PG who you chose to not see

and it is not like there is no small backcourt duos doing pretty well throughout the league (Mavs with Barea, Curry-Ellis, Felton-Lawson,... even Bobcats will do that again).
With the rest I disagree. With picking Dirk it is only natural we would be compared with Mavs in terms what supporting cast can we get for him. I assume you are thinking this is a small league fatnasy draft but it is not, 14 teams picking from limited pool, which means this is more like 20 teams competition. The purpose as was stated in the rules was to build a team to win play offs, not to score points in several fantasy categories. We just did that. We didn't pick stars and popular overrated players (like DeRozan) no matter how they would work together, we couldn't really do that anywaya because of the switch that made us picking last in both second and third round which meant most of the obvious targets were gone or proved not eligible. That's not a crying, just staing the fact, every starting place in this draft had its ups and downs, being first gave us a choice to pick whoever we want but denied us a shot at using a strategy of picking up bunch of proven stars and fill out the rest with players as good as you get androle players. In normal snake draft, we would have na advantage, this year it is more of a wash and position in first round only dictates you what strategy is more suitable for you - we were bound to go with one dominant star.
Yeah, wining the title is nothing it's just luck hitting few more jump shots in 4 consecutive series. Ok

You guys are focusing on that Mavs comparison way too much, we would have to try ahrd not resemble mavs structure and build a completely different team and for noto good reason really. We weren't modeling the team after Mavs on purpose, it is just that some type of players should be teamed up naturally, so we went tsimilar waqy here and there and differentiate here andthere. It went that way Terry emerged as one of our top choices as last pick in second round, other choices were sharpshooters too and at the end we decided to go with him amusing ourselves in the process, thinking it could provide some lulz in late rounds if we add some scrubs from Mavs roster in late rounds. The comparison of paricular players witrh their Mavs counterparts were just for the fun and partially that the concept of the team is viable as it's not that much different from last year champions role-wise.
