the trade


my thoughts about the trade in one of the best evals ever


banditone usually finished last but always picked closer to 24...i used to make fun of him for it...then he finally picked closer to 1 and decided to trade curry to ben...amazing troll job

*chef's kiss*

A5: Steph Curry. It was "Who's coming in second?" We somehow let you have Steph Curry, DeAndre Jordan and Kevin McHale on the same team.

Nope! I did win the championship that season, but failed to win 60 games. I’ve won 62 and 61 games in this league, which is 3rd and tied for 4th highest (didn’t make the finals with either team). Two teams have won more than 62 games. One was dh’s Wilt team, but the other was from an owner who is no longer around. Used to lead the league in wins every season but never made the finals, including with his 67 win team.

oh yea...i remember that awful trade between ben and banditone...pretty sure i was doing the evals that season and really let bandit have it haha

i dont remember that 67 win team, but the owner you are describing sounds like slymonium...ill guess dwight howard for the player

slymonium is the owner (for both the 67 win player and why the different player is the all time leader), no to Dwight though.

ill guess karl malone for q4

deandre jordan for q3

No to both

In case anyone is still interested, here are the unanswered trivia questions. I will be giving out answers later tonight (Probably after Last Dance).

Q2: Out of all the 1st round picks this season, two had their lowest win total ever. One was LeBron James. Who was the other?
A2: ?

Q3: Which player has the highest winning percentage ever as a 1st round pick:
A3: ?

Q4: There have been 15 players selected in the 1st round all 23 of the last 23 seasons. Which player has the highest winning percentages?
A4: ?

Q5: Two players have been the 1st round pick of a 67 win team. One was Wilt. Who was the other?
A5: ?


Surprised no one has guessed 2 yet, but 3,4,5 are difficult.

Q2: Did anyone already say Ben Wallace?

Q4: Did anyone already say Chris Paul?

Q3: I think I misread this question before. Were they a first round pick this season?

Q5: No way I will guess this without some sort of shenanigans.

If Ben Wallace is the answer to Q2, I don't know why none of us thought of that before.

Ben Wallace is the obvious answer of question 2 with 15 wins.

No one has said Chris Paul for question 4, but he is actually the runner up and not the answer.

For question 3, he was not a 1st round pick this season. He has been a 1st round pick 5 times and is the all time leader in wins per season as a number 1 pick. slymonium won 50+ games with him 3 or 4 times in a row.

Hint for Q5: When I think of you (robusk) drafting in the ODL, this is the player that comes to mind first.

Is Question 3 Penny Hardaway?

banditone won 15 games after drafting Penny in the 1st, ruining an otherwise very good record as a 1st round pick.

q3...shawn marion?

q4 and q5...charles barkley?

q4 and q5...charles barkley?

Nope. All three answers are different. Nobody’s has even mentioned the answers for 3 and 4. Somebody mentioned the answer to 5 but for a different question.

Ah man. I thought Bds answered it and I was annoyed he did before I read the clue... but I just reread it.

After hearing this clue the answer is clearly Penny for q5.

If he has only been drafted 5 times in the first and we rule out everyone who has already been mentioned, then is Q3 Pippen?

Yes! A3 is Pippen. 5 seasons, 49.2 wins per season. Second is Towns with 46.5 per season in 4 seasons.

A5 is Penny. sly won 67 games and got bounced in the second round.

And that just leaves us with the player with the highest winning percentage of all 15 players drafted in the first round each of the last 23 seasons...


Larry Legend! Averages 44.3 wins per season, narrowly edging out Chris Paul (44.0) Kareem (43.4), and Karl Malone (43.1)
