Alright dh, Russell and number 1 for Simmons?

i probably cant bring myself to trade ben...but i guess thats a deal they would have to look at

i know less about the top picks this year then any other time in my basketball watching life so its hard to really judge that trade

The draft blows this year.

And they should trade Embiid, not Ben

i understand where youre coming from but i cant even entertain it in my head...and my heart would absolutely break if they traded him

he started with absolutely nothing(10-72 anyone?) and immediately made the sixers relevant again...and he did it while still learning the game, coming off major injuries, without a true point guard, and in a league that is harder than ever for a big man to succeed...he continued to keep us winning through three different gms, a revolving roster, and a lame duck coach

its really mind boggling how badly they screwed up building around him and simmons...elton brand f*cked us as a player and now hes doing it as a gm...f*ck that dude

but most of all F*CK YOU MARKELLE!...brand and his awful decisions never happen if you just turn into the player you were supposed to be

Totally agree

I took a break from staring at spreadsheets till my eyes crossed tonight. Evals are almost finished. I did some awesome formatting and **** that I just now realized I won't be able to copy & paste, so FML. Just for that, I'm going to go back and be extra mean to bds.

It was a rough week at work, so I housed an extreme amount of edibles tonight. Seems like the perfect time to read evals.

I'll finish them up after I eat the pizza I put in the oven if you're still around at that point; I don't think they are entertaining at all though.

i hope theyre brutal...give me all the kobe hate...i want it

Whatever, man. You do you, I guess.

The sad thing is that unless someone tells him, he won't know how joking I was there. I actually gave him a really positive evaluation - not because he's as emotionally stable here lately as a teenager, but because I actually like his team. It could have been better, sure, but I'm pretty sure everyone's could have been.

Except for Ben's. **** you, Ben.

Damn Ash - I made Tier 2!!! Now you got my expectations up!!!

@ ash - TYVM for taking the time and care to provide evaluations on everyone's draft. I appreciate any and all feedback on my squads, even if it predicts me to be in the bottom 3 out of 24 teams Serious draft evals just make it all the more fun and interesting

You are absolutely correct that my defensive rebounding is very suspect ( orb% is in a little better shape ). I hope to offset some of that with my clean efficiency ( low fouls and turnovers, nice ball distribution and efg% ). I expect to finish in the top 12 out of 24 teams, with at least 2 of my squads making the playoffs There is no hiding in this league, we have 410 games! that will clearly reveal whether my strategy (and everyone else's) succeeds or fails... S A V A G E

"jpevans31 - Dennis Rodman, Klay Thompson, Alonzo Mourning, Derek Harper, Alvin Robertson, Tom Boerwinkle, Joe Ingles, Don Buse, Brad Daugherty, Sam Lacey, Johnny Green, Jae Crowder
I kept bouncing around on this one. One minute I love it, the next, I don’t. You have a ton of really solid guys, I’m just not sure how you’re putting them together, and in this scenario more than just about any other team, that is going to determine a lot. I feel real safe in thinking you’ll be fighting for playoff spots in a couple of leagues, possibly even contending for a title, but I feel real safe in thinking you might lose 50 games with a team. IE - Clogville, or the very definition of this tier. Sidenote: I’ve literally always wanted to put that one Buse season with that one Robertson season - you know the ones - but it just feels like Klay & Derek are superior most years."

Oh, I'm putting that one Buse season with that one Robertson season - we know the ones. That's a big reason I took Buse over a much-needed frontcourt-guy at that spot.

The Breaking Bad scene where DLZ was playing is maybe the most memorable TV moment of my lifetime.

Good evals ash. I agree with all of them, especially mine. It is the second draft of this league where I took the best available and not the most Savage. I can’t snap myself out of my habits.

Re: the Drexler pick, yes the eFG% is bad. I was in my head trying to fix the minutes and OREB% problem. Durant and Chandler put me in such a bind that I couldn’t really get out of it. I already posted my “ahhhh..... here is what you have to do” stuff so I won’t rehash it here.
