It might be nitpicking, but I feel you had plenty of spacing to the point where you could have went with one of the many rebounding/non-shooting power forwards available..
Hmm, possibly. I wasn't seeing many out there that would make good use some surplus money. Plenty of guys in that mold are in the same low contract/low skill tier, and so I don't really see it as an opportunity missed when a bunch of guys like that don't separate themselves from each other. I also have a quick wrap pick so rebounding is one area that could be addressed with that.

I think at this point value in terms of contract isn't something really worth seeking out. So while Marvin at 13M is steep, I think it's worth having him. I'm banking on some upside, with him and Wiggins, to try to have the highest ceiling team possible. Right now that idea seems to be death by shooting. Even though there's some overlap among the bunch, I think the pieces fit reasonably well.

This has to be right. It'd need to be done with enough time to remain flexible though, since value gained could be easily lost later on when player scarcity and fit become even more constraining.

Y'know I wonder if Ricky would have helped out my team at all. Thought about him a couple rounds ago then forgot about him.

I haven't, I've been looking for value with team in mind.

I still need a 2. Gambling one of my guys will be there for me, found Ersan to be more a scarce commodity that would likely be gone.

Yikes I do not like the Rubio pick at all. That team is sweet but he does not have much of a place on it and 14 mill is a lot for a guy who doesn't fit.

I went PG > C and sort of planned to take best available but things get very grim very fast with this format. Like if I skipped TJ Warren (who I don't think is the man or a fantastic fit) I would've ended up with my next door neighbor at SF

I thought the value was too good to pass up. Don't see why IT2 cant play off the ball for 12 mins a game against teams where Rubio can guard the 2.

1,378m of 1,760m spent through 5/8.

12.5m per player

~17.4m left per team (this will probably not all get spent because it's just hard to spend exactly, I'd guess 2% left over or something)

5.8m per player for the last 3 rounds

What's the rule on trades exactly? I saw we can do them, but do salaries have to match at all? Within 20% or 1m or something?

Team LFC_USA
G - Dennis Smith Jr
G - CJ McCollum
F - Jae Crowder
F - Marcus Morris
C - Demarcus Cousins

Nice team. Reminds me a little of Boston, and this team could be better than last year's Celtics.

I think taking DSJ to start is too big of a risk with only 20 teams...

I think that clinches a kind of amusing player going undrafted. Don't think he was a particularly good fit on charder's team.

If its a shooting guard I considered him b/c of the great value but couldnt play him and Harris together at all I think.(and I hate him)

Suprised he's stayed around this long.

Spoiler:

Tim Duncan - $1,881,250

Seems fair he plays if he's getting paid.
Ok for the real pick...
Spoiler:
Going out on a limb.

Malcolm Brogdon
Klay Thompson
Andrew Wiggins
Marvin Williams
Marc Gasol

Markelle Fultz - $7,026,240

Cap remaining - 7.18M

Not even sweating the money because anyone else I would've taken or would take from here on out is under 4M.


By the way, spreadsheet has Aron Baynes on two teams (Assani and RT).

People still have a hard time believing he's good because of the shooting/scoring.... even though he's very good on D (elite?) and one of the best passers in the game.

LFC shoulda drafted him instead of DSJ. Rubio is pretty much the perfect PG next to CJ.

Rubio
CJ
Crowder
Morris
Cousins

woulda been amazing stylistically. Rubio & CJ mask each others flaws on both sides of the ball. Instead he got an unknown rookie PG who, best case scenario, will be a guy who clashes with CJ.

Thought about Lou... Someone tell me how bad the Fultz pick is. I think he'll be bad, but not as bad as the other backup PGs available.

I like the Fultz pick a lot, especially for your team.
