3. 98 average - Stephen Curry, Bill Walton, Joakim Noah, Kevin Johnson,

love the backcourt. love the symmetry of curry and kj. be a cool team to have season tickets to. not to mention 3 red-heads in the starting line-up. haha. didn't kevin Johnson have reddish tinted hair? I was living in phoenix at that time and went to the games. maybe it was just the lighting. and curry has those kind of red-greenish eyes thing going. and Walton looks to me like a skinny red-headed andre the giant dude. definitely the same face working there. well, enough said about those useless things. this team flat out dishes and scores from all angles. not a typical 98average defensive machine. it is more sexy, versatile and lethal. still, he retains some defensive teeth to take a bite out of your offensive efficiency, thus will be winning lots of close games because his guys hit their free throws well enough. noah is the hand that rocks the cradle here. your most important player, imo. curry and kj. never seen this duo before. nice pieces in this puzzle pizza, 98.

oh, maybe I'm thinking of dennis Johnson. mei guan xie (doesn't matter).

5. cjok1051 - Michael Jordan, Mookie Blaylock, Amare Stoudemire, Larry Nance,

bkbillips does cjok a great favor, and screws the rest of us. nance is such a better fit than boozer would've been. I love nance's 77 def season the best, but there are so many great nance seasons to choose from. I think his 8mil season ranks 4th among the list though. cjok, stop trying to f'k-up the work of art you created in mj and amare. let these guys do their thing. boozer would've been too much of a good thing. mikee always does well in this league because he understands usage very well. sometimes less is more. but with larry N, this becomes a superb defensive squad that can score and play clean ball. a big man is needed that does not foul too much and does not go to the line too much. another very dangerous team is thrown into the mix. this is gonna be a GREAT odl season. nice job, king mosavi. p.s. yeah, nance late in the 4th is an absolute bed-wetter.

I know it's been said over and over, but Scud you are making this an hourly MUST READ! Fantastic job sir.

10. benhoidal - Karl Malone, Hassan Whiteside, Klay Thompson, Brent Barry,

I just knew ben was going for brent... how did I know, because ben walks around with a metal detector, and he just found gold. another high efficient player who dimes, plays very clean (like everyone else on this team) pops from the outside and allows the 31%usg and 27%usg guys to play their games. doesn't matter who plays the 3 or 2 now. neither can board, haha. but they do other things. Now comes the hard part, a prolific dishman in the 5th that won't gum up the works. metal detector is out again. ben on the job 24/7. he's probably got the data base memorized by now... as many of us do. but ben finds ways to stock his squads with top-shelf efficiency while still spending wisely. happy to see his defense take a slight hit, unhappy to see his efficiency take a slight bump. The great white shark!

18. uptowngbv - Magic Johnson, Ben Wallace, Kevin Love, Paul Pierce,

ladies and gentleman, welcomes to scud's favorite fun team! haha. I would be proud to manage this squad because of the vastly different statistics I would be seeing game to game. this will be a highly unapproachable team to defend, as it should be. love and pierce are so up and down, but magic has the reins which should stabilize their slight inconsistencies game to game, and when both of these scorers are going haywire, magic steps in, like he did in the playoffs that year when he played center. magic will be such a great influence and captain on this frigate ship. that's why the navy employs frigates in their fleets, their fast, lightly armored, versatile and can blow the s h I t out of you. pierce is the go-to guy, but at 44%fg, love will be the next go-to guy, but at 47%fg, magic steps up. this team will keep hunting you down like a frigate. big ben boards and blocks and stays out of the way. that is what's needed from him. uptown can now go small on his next pick, or go big. why? because he has kevin love to clean the glass. fun team. team name: I wanna be like jagger

oh, crap! 10:35 am. gotta get to the embassy. updating at lunch time.

The great white shark is quite the catchy nickname!

16. ashamael - Charles Barkley, Steve Nash, Clifford Ray, Charlie Edge,

ash pulls another rabbit out of his hat. charlie edge is a perfect compliment to this team, like the magician's mini-skirted assistant. keep your eyes on her slender legs while the magician does his slight of hand theatrics under your nose. defense has now entered the picture. I'm sure ash is gonna go with barkley's highest usage season, which I think is around 25%, excluding the partial 27% (sf friendly) season. combine that with nash's 2nd highest costly season (that superb 3 pt% version) and we're looking at hoodini's hoodwinks. there's lot's of flexibility here. can go small with a sg, or big with a 3rd scorer at the 3. either way, there's enough of everything so far (including a deceptive amount of boards) to build another contender. you suck, ash. I just can't figure out what team will not be in the playoffs at this point.

Enjoying the commentary, bud!

To me, there are five possible Chuck seasons to use:

87-88 - this is the one you thought was 25% usage; it's 26.7%. His most expensive season, but it is a monster.
89-90 - 24% usage and less of a monster than the 87-88, but much cleaner in regards to turnovers & fouls.
88-89 - kind of a mix between the two, best rebounder of the three. I would almost always go one or the other over it.
86-87 - the 40% creb season. Stupid high fouls & tovs, but viable with the right build around it. Also cheaper than the above.
90-91 - the bargain Chuck. $7.5m for 2500 minutes of 29% usage, 57% fg% monster at 100% sf effectiveness. Lighter on boards, but still a monster for a 3.

I drafted with the thought that I was going to be shelling out a clean $10m for Chuck's 87-88 season, so that's what I'll likely use.

92-93 has an Ast% of 15.6, respectable eFG% of 54.5 and 15.6 RP48. i plan on using it at some point. i think 9 OReb% and 24 or 25 DReb%

never seen you do a stupid thing in this league, ash, which would be using that beautiful 90-91 season barkley. this beast is a first rounder, spend accordingly and unleash the kracken. that would be the season I would choose, 87-88. I've also noticed that the random outliers would fill nash's Christmas stocking more often than barkleys. yeah, so go with the lower t.o.'s and fouls version. 10mil? you've still got lots of moola left since you wisely drafted The Edge. gl2u

4. bds9992 - K. Abdul-Jabbar, Deron Williams, Rudy Gobert, Kyle Lowrey,

eval coming shortly. gotta handle some visas and renew a passport, then talk to this irate Chinese guy. haha. be back in 20 minutes

4. bds9992 - K. Abdul-Jabbar, Deron Williams, Rudy Gobert, Kyle Lowry,

move over everyone, another candidate just entered the dance. was waiting and waiting and waiting foe someone to give this homeless man a safe harbor. now a 200+ made 3 pt sniper is set loose, only to be fed by deron Williams, and even some by jabbar. deron is gonna have some fun now playing alongside lowry. this guy just keeps getting better and better each year. he is now a force in this league and does not deserve a 5th round downgrade. quite a steal here, bds. suddenly excitement abounds, like holding a pair of Jessica alba's panties in your hands. toxic magic. this is a well-built 4-some. love the gobert pick too. for 7.2mil, lowry is a steal. I think he now supplants klay as the dynamic outside shooter because he carries a respectable 70 def. team name: Snoop Dog and Sniper

dare I call him a B+ Mookie Blaylock?

yes, better than Klay, just a shade or 2 less than the mook man.

wild that where those three get drafted is so different.
