Shouldn't LTB be drafting behind me in round 1 since he wanted to be closer to 24? His team finished up better than mine did record wise in the regular season. Just want to pick ahead of him so that I can take his guy lol!

Yeah I should of took him but wanted to do something different

imo hes the third best player in this league

Look at his game log for the last twenty games this past season...dragged my team into the playoffs on his back!

So sorry for the delay.  These first rounds always sneak up on me.  I have it down to three guys, and can't really go wrong, so gonna go with a guy I haven't had the chance to use yet....

Kevin Durant

Bugger off, vance.  I'm going to draft nothing but retired Harlem Globetrotters just to show that you can't possibly swipe the guys I want.

I was so convinced my choice at 8 would be between Dwight, Durant or Shaq (in that order) that I almost overlooked Kareem. Of course, it won't matter where I picked him if I screw up the next few picks.

Am I the only one who thinks amerk did us a huge favor by taking Durant off the board before mikee could pick him?

Proxies sent. Thanks,

You're welcome lol.  I will be surprised if my other two choices that I didn't pick don't go in the next two picks.  What really made me question it more than anything, is most teams that take KD usually end up with an under .500 team in these leagues.

does someone want to start a commentary and team composition thread?

also i think logain had that exact combo of shaq and durant a couple of seasons ago. i think it maid the playoffs but didnt do much after that

In my opinion, KD doesn't live up to expectations we have from his good assets because his Oreb% is too low, he won't get as much FTA as his real life stats, he don't have 85+ DEF expected of most elite defenders, and/or because too many owners in this league brave that 1% position penalty to play him at SG.  In high salary cap leagues, I usually won more games when I bench him for ******* ( name hidden since he has not been drafted here ) at SF and *******( name hidden since he has not been drafted here )  at SG if I can . If he had 100% at SG and slightly higher Oreb% or DEF, I think his teams will win much more games.

Well, we're about to start the season specific league in a few hours. I have 90-91 Jordan matched with 13-14 Kevin Durant. I'm excited to see what they'll do as A1/A2 scorers.
