There is a chance wesrwood can take my guy so I'll have to wait... kinda hoping he does because he's hard to argue for.

Was it Shredder?

Aw crap, nevermind... pick incoming.

If anyone wants to update the spreadsheet with access:

Schroder $15,500,000
Jrue $24,657,534

Wrane
Krayz
heroball

appears to be the order

Jesus 15.5M is a lot of money for schroder.

Always been super low on him but I have to say he showed up in the playoffs last year and managed to make me think better of him on O while thinking much less of John Wall's defense

Team so far:

Murray
Josh Richardson
Gallo
Millsap
Jokic

Richardson
Anderson

I have about 18M left to spend, and I think my biggest needs are a backup big, defense, and maybe some creation.

The following guy qualifies for 2.5/3 of what I'm looking for. His defensive metrics are very good despite what looks like eye-test failures in the PnR. He was the starting center for the 2nd/3rd best team in the NBA the last two years, and when asked about coming in to back up a 22 year old second rounder his reaction was:



Final team:

Jamal Murray
Josh Richardson
Danilo Gallinari
Paul Millsap
Nikola Jokic

Tyus Jones
Kyle Anderson
Pau Gasol

sorry sunday and out, skip me

18M for marc gasol seems like decent value

I'm here when Krayz picks

I'll take OLD and VETERAN PRESENCE

VINCE

Jeremy Lin
Paul George
Rudy Gay
Kevin Love
Will Cauley-Stein

Bench:
Nene Hilario
Yogi Ferrell
Vince Carter

$8,000,000

left with $132k of cap space

I really want VINCE to do the 2018 Slam Dunk Contest.

And win it!

I'm surprised he didn't go to the Warriors and RANG CHASE.

Not to be a buzz kill but I thought Pau had not been signed at the time we started the draft

Snell hadn't either.

Don't think either move the needle tho.

Yeah no biggie. We're basically done. I do like the kyrie Embiid team as it sits put together. Though Kyrie, Jrue, EG at 1/2/3 to start seems a little small, prone to mismatches.

RT, are you still simming a season of 2k out of this? Should download the current rosters, there's one that's updated every day.

i will be yes. Would need a couple of days to set it up etc. Will download updated yes.

im ready to go. pmng the big ballers

Fantastic!

Defrozan at SF could have made an epic FT drawing team (and you know they're not on 3s - so a ton of attacking the basket)

1 Joel Embiid C-F PHI 786 244 11.18 0.783
2 Russell Westbrook PG OKC 2,802 840 10.79 0.845
3 James Harden G HOU 2,947 881 10.76 0.847
4 DeMarcus Cousins C-F NO 1,891 549 10.45 0.77
5 Isaiah Thomas PG BOS 2,569 649 9.09 0.909
6 DeMar DeRozan G-F TOR 2,620 647 8.89 0.842

I think Pau was signed like 3 days before the draft, 7/21 looks like the date.

I'll take Troy Daniels, SG, for 3,408,520. Troy made a 138 threes last year at a 39% clip, chucking almost 11 per/36.

Here's an article discussing his goodness at moving off the ball/reading defenses:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.gri...g-analysis-nba

SQUAD

Mike Conley
James Harden
Mo Harkless
Larry Nance, Jr.
Willy Hernangomez

David West
Kyle O'Quinn
Troy Daniels

The beauty of a Harden/Conley team is, with staggering, I can ensure they play the first 8 and last 6 minutes together, and one is on the floor at all times. I consider Harden a top-3 playmaker (arguably #1), and Conley is in the top 5-7 in terms of offensive signal-callers.

Therefore, I didn't need to worry about finding anyone who had to be a creator of offense with the ball. That said, I drafted players in Harkless, Daniels, and West who all thrive off the ball and can shoot well to very well from the perimeter to give my ball-handlers room to operate. I added Willy for a credible PnR roll threat, O'Quinn for rim protection, and Nance, Jr. as simply a high energy, high athleticism switchblade to crash the glass on vacated space drives by my guards and help do all the small things to win games.

Like this:

I believe I can pick before bed so I'm taking Brandan Wright at $5,955,760.

Someone messed up the sheet btw Dennis Schroder is appearing multiple times at the wrong place, someone please fix it.

Final team is

KAT
Dame
Ariza
Randle
Batum
Grant
Hielf
Wright

will probably do a writeup some time soon

Krayz ended up with a nice team imo

Can I pick?
My guy uses most of my remaining 8 million
