Clyde really dropped, thought he'd be a second rounder.

In a game with limited talent, having a defender like Rodman being able to guard a teams superstar perimeter player and not be a huge liability offensively looks promising in most matchups.

I was very close to taking Chandler. I think he's the perfect low cost C to pair with Steph

You have avoided one issue that will be an obstacle for most teams: spacing. That may allow you the luxury of considering certain players that others really cannot.

I like Sikma better with that team. He could shoot and was more versatile offensively.
Comments to rationalize bad contracts -
1) It's less than the MLE
2) He can be traded later
3) It's only __% of the cap
4) The cap is going up
5) It's only __ years
6) He's a good mentor/locker room guy
