Personally I'd like 6, but it's majority vote. I'll assume you two are neutral :p

My single vote is for 8 personally.
It's way funner looking at the last 6 matchups out of 20 (during the season) and knowing you have a shot to sneak into the playoffs and make an upset, rather than looking at the last 6 matchups out of 20 and realizing you can't make it to a top 6 seed. And that's like 6 teams that can legitimately say that to themselves.

I'd prefer any changes to 1) number of playoff teams and 2) what are the playoff weeks be done ASAP, as tbh.. it's something that would have dramatically affected every single one of my picks, even to the very first pick I made.

Btw I really like Bradley Beal this year. He's been really good so far in his career but I still think he has some upside to put up even better numbers, esp with no Wall. Always gotta worry about nagging injuries tho.

It's impossible to make a bad pick in these early rounds.

Vooch finished top 10 last year, I believe.
Beal is projected to be the #8 and #9 best player this year on a few websites.
Doncic is a few ticks of %'s away from top 10-15 value as well, not to mention any other improvements.

Yeah, I'd say 8 teams in the playoffs since we have 14 total.

I do worry about Beal getting beat up with not that much help.

After last year's draft-day trades to kick off the season:
2018-2019 Trades:
- U.R.Average trades #18, #31, #103 for EA7 Milan/dsg's #24, #25, #96.
- Your Mom!/Edrock trades #22, #27, #51 for Magicfan4life05's #23, #26, #50.
- Magicfan4life05 trades #143, #146 for U.R.Average's #138, #151.


We now have our very first draft-day trade of this 2019-2020 season!

Furinkazan/Snoopy's Revenge has traded #17, #40, #68 for Dsg2021/EA7 Milan's #28, #29, #56.

Kodus.. Thought I would get someone to take the 5th pick off me but it did not happen. Nice trade 4 both sides.

I'm still interested in trading for CP3 (with Kyrie Irving the headliner), but it's gonna depend on who's available next round, and how attractive the trade proposal is with maybe a pair of mid/late draft picks swapped around.

I'm really happy to have Kyrie though, I saw 7 APG and a great year from D'Lo in BRK's system last season. And Kyrie looks much happier now too, choosing his team for the first time.

Damn....My plan was to draft Drummond with any of Booker or Mitchell.Horaceeeeeeeeeeee."......Westbrook is perfect to pair with Drummond.Now I admit I have no plan anymore.

There’s a certain wiretap floating around about a certain player that’s really hard to ignore..

(And I don’t mean Fultz)
