This is just one idea. Willis Reed 6th man. Thoughts?

obv Simmons would be PG, I just don’t have it listed that way in the spreadsheet.

If you can get 2 of possibly 3 guys to fall to you, this could be very, very strong. Noah is one of my favorite RL players of all time, but I wonder if you could have done better there. Obviously Simmons helps with the rebounding, which is good because Jo and Reed Need help. Defense is great, but you have to end possessions. More of a note to me than you though tbh.

Yeah anybody notice amerk didn't go all ****-**** over cmc's delaying the draft by 7 hours? Seems like discrimination against Italians to me.

(cmc I'm not calling you out; I understand people, you know, sleep)

I dont know what "$hit-***$" are...

but NOW I'm interested.....

sounds like something I'd have to lie about the next day after a rocky night of drinking

I'm not even in on any of what ever it is that ya'll are into...

Delaying the draft? dammmmn !

I'm trying - 7hours?!?!
Hell, I've been going to sleep at night cuddled up with my draft list,
like a fireman waiting for an alarm... praying I'm johnny on the spot with my next one... 7 hours?

Dont sic Amerk on me !!!
I love AMERK - and praying to continue in his Decades leagues

I cant seem to catch a break..

That's the point, man. You were asleep. Any sane person wouldn't hold that against you. I certainly did not. But why is it okay for you to sleep and not someone in a different time zone?

I was just stirring the pot.

Guys, I just want to say it really takes a lot of discipline not to lash out every time one of you mocks me. I can take it for a while - years, even - but after a while I start to want to say something.

I'm getting there. I can explain my teams to you about 20 different ways. I have crunched all of the numbers for all five teams, and I will also say that I have considered numbers most of you haven't. You can deny that if you want to.

The more shots are taken at me, the more my restraint is depleted. I'm this close to going berserk, especially on ash. I have been super, super relaxed for a while, but the disrespect is really starting to **** me off. I'm sorry I ever said anything nice about any of my teams ever. Five more seconds and I will start eviscerating people.

Leave me alone for a while, all right?

No.

You bring it on yourself. You can't instigate conversation and then get mad when you get it. I think most people don't understand that you even are really that upset about it - I mean, look at the Game of Zones that you not only okayed but even helped write... Right or wrong, when someone is self-deprecating, it's like everyone is in on the joke. Almost everything said is either mild teasing/all in good fun or sincere advice that you just are too headstrong to accept or say, at least, "Hey, **** y'all, I'm going to show you you're wrong" and then proceed to show us we are wrong.

I've stayed out of it for the most part in this league, so I'm not even sure why I'm suddenly being brought into this, but if you don't want feedback or to read my comments, you can block them. I don't want to read your 10-page sitemails arguing with me about **** that either you can't (or at least never, ever have) backed up or that I don't give a **** about the next day, so I blocked you. Saved me a lot of trouble. I suggest you do the same if people's comments bother you. Cheeks wasn't a great pick, but it wasn't terrible. Westbrook was terrible. Disagree? Prove me wrong. But when I say prove me wrong, I mean "on the court" not in a dissertation full of numbers and hypothetical arguments, because until you win with it, you've proved nothing. Myself, I've proved nothing in this format thus far so you should take anything and everything I say about it with very little seriousness.

Except this. I'm right in this. Like some of the other people have mentioned, I've actually always liked you and am rooting for you. I was rooting for you to do well in this league. I still am. I still believe you can.

I feel you but he was insurance in case I can’t find a good PG for the two non-Simmons years. Then I can plug in Curry at point, the passing Noahs at C, and then 3 non-passing rebounders/defenders. If I do get another PG soon, then maybe I’ll build one State Farm team.

Page one updated through round 5. I did some comprehensive thoughts - teams to fear, teams with nice potential, teams with some work to do, biggest steals, and biggest reaches. Not every team is represented. At this point, I believe every team still has the chance to win it all, so take everything I said with that in mind.

Gd that’s scary. Do me a favor and sm me which league you’re putting that one in so I don’t waste my best team lol

Great write ups so far ash. I can’t disagree with any of it.

Obviously you would wish that one of those 90+ defenses could cover the back court but man that is a real nice team. I’m not a big time Noah guy but he fits well here. Looks like it is going to be high on turnovers but I don’t that that is as big of a deal in this format as people like pex proved. I hope I am not in that team’s division.

Bored, busy waiting to pick before I go to bed. Pearl Jam is known to have a strange affinity for Mookie Blaylock.....

Ash, did anyone else get the bonus - I've missed some of the dialogue.....if not - what's my prize???

The rest of you can rip my pick but Eddie Vedder would approve and that's enough for me....

Rob got it. The prize is the knowledge itself that Pearl Jam's original name was Mookie Blaylock.

If mikee goes pretty soon, we got a nice run of pretty present owners to where I might get my pick in tonight. That would be dope. I feel like the next three picks are going to decide the fate of this squad.

I think my team has a good base, and I could make it competitive by the end of the draft, but I'm going to use my favorite NBA GIF to show what I'm assuming most of you think of my roster so far...

I'll proxy before I go to bed...
