Not sure yet which Magic I'm gonna use but most likely the one with 100+ 3pm.  It's kind of a waste to draft anybody that isn't a paint scorer that doesn't shoot many threes.  At least, that's how I usually roll.  $55M changes some things.

Some.

Quick comparison between 89-90 and 88-89. 
89-90 8.4 mil
24.8 usage, 52.6 efg, 4.8 oreb, 13.8 dreb, 35.8 ast, 69 def, 106 3s
88-89 8.2 mil
24.3 usage, 53.5 efg, 4.3 oreb, 17 dreb, 37.7 ast, 54 def, 59 3s

I guess you can't go wrong either way, pretty similar. I still prefer 88-89 though. Other than Kidd and James, 88 Magic is the best rebounding PG that distributes the ball. Maybe 89 is better for his defense and may be a better fit since you already have the best rebounding SF.

The cap is 52. We changed it before the league was setup. Hopefully, everyone is aware of this.

I would be willing to trade my back to back picks 5th and 6th rounders

for someones 4th round pick

and their last pick (we would split the double picks in the last round)

never saw that it was changed.  No biggie.  $55M is hard to fill up unless you've got open options.  Draft league... even a $52m is hard.

1st time I picked this high in any draft league. So I knew I wanted LeBron, Wilt, or MJ. I've never used Wilt before so decided to go with him. In the 2nd thought about Magic but really liked the idea of a triple double every night from the PG position, so I went with the poor mans LeBron. Oscar Robertson.
In the 3rd I was strongly considering McHale, but at the last minute went with Timothy Duncan. I hope I don't regret this later.
At this point I had enough scoring and usage so went with a defensive specialist who can defend every position. Serge Ibaka.

Pretty happy so far. Just my 1st 4 picks average 12 blocks, 52 boards,18ast, and 91 pts. All have efg of 53 or better. All 4 are solid defensively and 2 play lock down D. With 3 of the 4 being big time rim protectors.

And the Idea of having a Big 3 with the nicknames of:
The Big Dipper
The Big O
The Big Fundamental

I wasn't using my brain when I picked Dikembe, but I'll live with it. Still options to tweak things.

I like this team, Howard will be given room to make easy points. Him and Wallace will make up one of the best rebounding front courts. Williams is a good number two guy to distribute, solid D and EFG. I love my Marshal/Faried combo at SF, same usage and both are + rebounders at their position. Other than Ash's Rodman, we should have an advantage over any other team at that position as far as rebounding is concerned. ****** at DH for taking Brent Barry right before me, he would have fit in nice. Rush is solid and all, but I really would have liked Barry's AST in here. 
Still need to get effective usage for my bench and a couple of ball distributers. Looks good to me though, other than the fact that we will lose at least a few games on the free throw line.

you got me right back with the next pick tho...i wanted faried
8/14/2012 4:29 PM
Well, DH you got me with Stockton, too!

great looking squad.
