Of course not. Not at all.

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

That's fair. I was picking between Wade and Shaq at the end. Kawhi was my hope at #6. Probably one of the greatest single seasons in league history.

A top 30 peak for Kawhi, definitely.

I had LeBron as the obvious Number 1, KG as the obvious Number 2, then a ton of guys in contention for Number 3

Please notice that I'm on a different timezone, so it'll be less useful to leave me picks compared to others

It's not even that I view him as OP (it obviously depends on the player pool and which version of him you're getting), just tired of seeing him go one in every draft.
