Yeah I googled synonym of calm and I agreed, although there are 3 guys I would consider if I had a pick I think they are similar in terms of impact

Didn't you just do that when you drafted a role player with your first pick and then said he was the best two way player in the NBA? LMFAO

A team with PG and any of the top guys left will win this thing hands down.

This is why I hate trading of draft picks in BAT. Ruins the game.
Make everyone draft the position they're in. Makes it more of a game of skill rather than game of who can be the pestiest on the phones. I don't really got time to work the phones like that.
The one BAT I ran I enacted a rule where you can't trade in the first round and can't trade OTC

Thats an horrible trade imo, although the guy drafted here could worth more than the guys picked in those 2 picks along the road

Yea doing ABBA is only half the battle...not allowing people to have two 1st round picks is prob the better way to go to balance it out.
I just can't believe LJ fell for the Jedi mind trick.

It does make it more fun and unpredictable though.
