Re: Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread
32 is on the block.
I got screwed man.
I was either going Embiid or Kemba at 29
I went Kemba at 29 because I knew either Gobert or Embiid would be available for me at 32 since AJ had two picks and I would have the luxury of taking whomever was available.

Re: Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread
why did we allow pick trades again? I'm not playing to win at this point but come on. Pick trades are BS.

I've done drafts like this a lot, if you do pick trades it just becomes about which GM can find some sucker fork over the most unfair deal.

Re: Build a Team 17.0 Rules and Discussion Thread
Tbh if teams are judged properly by not accompanying 2 stars with scrubs it should be okay. But surprised pooch got a pick in the 100s in return as opposed to 300s.

Yes, I like the fun factor, although yes, a couple of the earlier trades were ghastly

But nobody should really be scared of Lowry and Paul George. Not even in the slightest
Pooch did pay a fair price for #31, I made sure of it
