We’re only picking two teams so 10 isn’t an upper limit.

We should probably cap it at 15 lol

15 would be so cool…

Every team used. I do not dare hope.

At least now we have at least the same number as the last draft.

Notice all - clock will start tomorrow 9am EDT and not before that! (sometimes people assume the clock starts at the end of round one without anybody mentioning it explicitly)

Also I set the time window for a pick to 3 hours since this is only a two round draft plus the picks here may take some planning because you're basically preparing half of your team. Also, the clock stops at 11:00 p.m. You are of course encouraged to pick as soon as you can rather than using all your clock, when possible.

We need votes in the Donut Draft. At this rate, we'll finish two subsequent games before that one. :lol:

Third pick seems solid if perhaps not where I wanted to be personally.

If anyone with a low pick is interested make your pitch. Not sure I want to move or not.

Did we establish in the last game a certain team is sort of a cheat code?

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

I don’t really care, this is a fun exercise anyway. I don’t think making them off limits really improves things

I'll trade with you or anyone with a top three.

I think forcing us to declare the four players when we pick could've made the top picks have less of an advantage.

Laimbeer and I have switched spots.

I personally think the third pick is pretty advantageous in this but I wanted the experience of picking a team and knowing I’ll get one of three teams for my next team. Seems like a more fun way to do this draft even if the odds of winning may be lower.

Anyone surprised Roddy took the Spurs?

If so, welcome to these games.
