I certainly had both of my brain cells working overtime to come up with him. I didn't like that he faded down the stretch last year and his horrible injury history. Dude never seems to play a whole season.

Still, he's got plenty to like.

Now I'll have to do this all over again after one more pick. Such sweet torture.


Like I said, I would be happy to relieve that stress for you...trade down 77.

Well, send me an offer I can't refuse and we'll see.

That's always a good sign that the offer will be a fair one. :nod:

Incidentally, where do you prefer offers? RealGM PM or email?

If anyone else wants to throw their hat in, I'm looking at moving #59 for a drop to the mid 70s for a big jump on the back end.

Confirmed. Thanks Wes.

Get ready for yet another trade up debacle from yours truly...Sabonis, I expect you to have a hay-day with this one. :nod:

...

Where is that pic from last year. With a caption something like, 'I just trade up in my fantasy league, now who do I pick?'

Nope, I wasn't remotely close. Parker wasn't even on my radar at this point. But, I do think he'd have been gone soon and definitely before #77.

You got some brass balls on you I'll give you that.

I'm not sure what to do here. I am very tempted to do something very stupid. Or I could follow my original plan.

I need to do some work then pick.

Always go with the original plan.

Apparently, I've been going with the former this year.

I don't think he would've lasted that long to be honest.

It's not that crazy though. Jabari should average 18-19 ppt, 5-6 boards, 1+ steals, 1+ blocks and 3-4 assists. That's not bad for a pick at the end of the 3rd round. The risk is obviously that he's a rookie...but I also found him listed in the 50s on a couple of fantasy ranking lists. His ceiling is probably higher than anyone else's left on the list, and his floor isn't that low...

If anything, I just started a run on rookies and risky guys...so you can thank me when the solid, boring guys are still there in the 80s.
