I'll be happy to enlighten you pal as I have won 3 titles in this league and also taken 2nd place twice. A few of my other teams have won their divisions. There is a plan already in place to cover for Durant's weaknesses. Trust me on that one.

What's wrong with an SG at 99% whose defensive rating is 78? I think that all players in this league have much fewer FTA than in RL. Durant;s defensive rebounding number is 18.9. His offensive rebounding number sucks. But if you draft a team that makes most of its shots than offensive rebounds aren't as important. You may not have known this but I am an experienced owner in this league.

Please continue to enlighten me. So, why 12-13 KD instead of 13-14 KD?

78 defense vs 61 defense and over 41% on 3s vs 39% on 3s.

But, doesn't 13-14 plays more minutes with better EFG% at higher usage and better Oreb%( ok, just a teeny weeny bit better) and slightly better AST% at a slightly cheaper price ?

The defensive rating is a big deal in this league.

It's seams like you can have Max one player below 70D to have a really good team

Thank you for your insight.

Anytime man. I am very deep.

I really wanted David Robinson but never seem to draft in that 7 to 10 slot. When my teams go bad I end up drafting higher than that. It would be fun to draft # 2 and get Lebron and see how I would use him. My MJ team was really good but LTB's team got that title. To me Durant is pretty easy to build around as he has a lot of good offense and many players complement him. But the owners are all so good now that its tough to get the player that I want in round 2

I had 3 below 70 last league and won 50 games, 3rd best record in the conference.
Got bounced in the first round though.

I won with Jordan. Now I will do the same with Admiral

not if artis gilmore has anything to say about it!

oh wait....

actually im kinda excited to see what the big fella can do this time...ive always used his 72-73 season but im gonna try out his 75-76 this time...i had no idea before but 75-76 has over 11 ftap48...along with the higher usg im hoping artis can be relied on more as a primary scorer for my team

For what it's worth, I used 13-14 Durant last season, and although I made the playoffs and advanced to final eiht, I admit I would have used the 78 D Durant if I had to do it all over again.

Well even though I love Durant at #13 there's a lot of work to do. That Kareem/Magic tandem looks pretty good to me.

Well, I gotta love my CP3, Pippen and Dr J trio.  Doesn't get much better than that for a first three.  Now, what will I do for big men in the 6th round???  That will be quite the challenge!  At least I have three pretty good rebounders for the 1, 2 and 3 spots though.

This will be a challenge that I look forward to.  Got a loooonnnng time to wait to see what happens lol
