Re: Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread
Sorry guys like Knicksfan20 I also had no idea we were starting this early. I swear we're not the same person... I wasn't actively checking RealGM on the holiday weekend...
Anyway what did you guys think of Wall at 15? One of my favorite players in the league and I can't wait to build around him.
Also as always, door is open for trades. Just PM and I'll get back to ya.

I like Lillard slightly more, but Wall is one of the best pieces to build around because he brings so much to the table. True playmaker, likes to run, and plays both ways. IMO, very fun to build with that skill set

Yeah Lillard is slightly more of an alpha than Wall is and I love his offensive game. But, I think it's easier to build around Wall because of his 2 way ability and his tendency to distribute first before scoring. Leaves a little more flexibility in the type of role players you can select around him.

Wall was the only other name brought up by our scouts to draft at #10 so definitely a good get at #15

Re: Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread
Looking to trade down later in the first round. Would cost u your 3rd rounder for my 6th rounder as well as the swap of 1st rounders
Also looking to trade 73 & 78 to move into the top 35.
Also looking to package 168 and 198 for a top 75 pick and a pick in the 300's

Re: Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread
Every pick thus far has been pretty easy. Picks 21-60 is where it gets really interesting, imo

Having a complete starting five virtually after the first 100 picks is pretty great for a depth build...not gonna front.

That's laughable. Kyrie and their PF would be a top 4 seed in the east. That's 2 top 20 players.
Again, I'd be just as bitter as you if I talked that much chit while not making the playoffs, while I cruised to a 4 seed.

As of Dec 27, 2016..
What’s the correlation between the cellar-dwelling Sixers and Nets and the defending champs? The loss dropped Cleveland’s record to just 4-18 in games in which James didn’t play since the start of the 2014-15 season, when he returned for a second stint with the franchise. That’s a winning percentage of just .182.
That’s right. Without James, the Cavs play worse than the worst teams in the league.

That's because the team's chemistry and system is built around LeBron. If they didn't have LeBron, the teams play style would be much different and players would grow into their roles. You can't just use a 20 game sample as evidence. And some of those games, Kyrie didn't play either.
Again, only one of us were golfing during the playoffs last Go around... and it wasn't me
