2017/2018 NBA salary cap draft thread - Page 72 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

I like my 3-7th picks.... Unfortunately I took Isiah Thomas and Blake Griffin with my first two. Yikes.

sidenote: Does anyone remember when I traded wiper Gilbert Arenas and Antonio Mcdyess for Prime Kobe in one of these?

I'm surprised McBeef>Cina. My team is very similar to aejones but I like Kyrie>>Kemba so I like his for top team.

Ooops, Batum was spelled wrong in the sheet causing an error. His team was 49.17

Seadood 50.77
wrane 50.64
mcbeef 48.8

There's only one other team above 40 wins, but they're overrating my boy RoCo pretty badly, so these are the only 5 real contenders this year. And Seadood's team is full of players who can't play in the playoffs (mostly Nuggets' players), so really just 4. Lot of really, really bad teams. RT's team was hurt by some lost seasons and bad drafting in the latter rounds, but LBJ-Horford would have been fine with some replacement level guys in theory. Bunch of other teams are horrible, no matter how vehemently you post about how good of an offense you would have had with Steph and Devin Booker, or how Marc Gasol would have tried more in this league, or Mike Conley could have played through his injury if they were in the playoff race, or RPM sucks because Dragic isn't worse than Dejounte Murray, etc.

Amended:

magnummike 52.05
aejones 51.45
Seadood 50.77
wrane 50.64
cinarocket 49.17
mcbeef 48.8

It'd be fun if we took our teams and decide whether you wanted to extend your players. The ones not extended, and players that made a big jump that weren't drafted in this, and the next crop of rookies, are up for selection.

Draft order is aejone's RPM list backwards.

I think a multiple year dynasty draft is what I am thinking, starting here with Year 2

roberson another surprising undrafted. guess shooting 14 percent from the FT line in a series will lead to some hesitation

Tatum wasn't even a lock to get much playing time pre Hayward going down. Rookies in a one year draft are really risky. Wouldn't have thought someone would of drafted Mitchell, props to Assani on being ahead of the curve.

I'll take it with 2nd/3rd rounders Gallo/Millsap barely playing this year.

Still think Jokic had a argument to go #1. 6th in RPM (now top 10 3 straight years) and only making 1.5M.

My 8th or 9th pick whatever it is is straight up better going forward than the #1 pick and while he's been sucking at defense, he's got the tools and athleticism to become really good as he progresses and learns. Jokic will never be good at defense

Also lol Cina, still sucked on D this year did he, and was like .400 without Jimmy Butler propping him up. This post contained more wrong takes than actual sentences.

Bet there are a lot of people who thought he was better than Russ and Kawhi in 2017-18.

Ok I'll stop... the comments of these are so fun to look back at.

None of Steph, AD, or Giannis won as many games in their first three years as Jokic did last. Harden/RWB would have also been in that same boat had it not been for KD.

Terrible retort.
