Probably would have preferred a higher pick in this one.

Oh well. Lets see how it goes.

Man Dr P in jeopardy here.
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

Definitely not a draft where the first four picks are all that interesting- I had them pegged in that order, though I thought Giannis MIGHT go over Kawhi.

Interesting to see where it goes from here though. 12 is going to be an interesting spot to be sure, I'm not positive I have a viable way forward to win though.

Same. Could have been a ABBB draft

In most drafts the order of round 4 isn’t a big difference maker.

I agree, which is why we rarely use it.

I understand exactly what you mean. You don't get any positional benefit no matter which way the round starts.

Which is probably why he did not want to draft in that location.
