I don't think the draft order is correct. I requested closer to 24.

Ah didn’t see the second post where you put 24. I’ll get it switched this afternoon.

Also, shouldn't Midge be lower? iirc, we don't consider post season performance in pick slotting. I could be wrong though.

Here's from the rules that were made before I took over. I'm open to switching it so runner-up isn't included:

Regardless of record, the champion will be slotted last among returners with the runner-up slotted second to last.

Ah, I never noticed. I don't think I usually pay enough attention to it honestly. I only did this time since I was in such a different spot from what I expected.

I think we can just keep it as is and keep it consistent. Sorry for the confusion.

In full transparency, I offered both jhsukow and bds9992 to the trades they proposed on page one.

That being said, I don't think it is a fair deal for thing. 1/4 for 2/3 is the standard, with sometimes minor sweeteners like 5/6 swaps.

I am usually the squeaky wheel so I won't be now. I've said my peace on it. If anyone wants to push for a veto, you know were I stand even if it is me in the deal.

Ah - he may have, but he's blocked, so I never received it

Giannis

dammit I raised Giannis' draft stock too much

I won with him at the 6th spot in 74 and took him 8th in 77 but I didn't get the defense boost - I think this spot is right.

Was really hoping dh's love of another Center would land me Wilt though.

I consider the LeBron/no picks thing to be a challenge and disadvantage, even though it is admittedly a less time consuming build. That said, if everyone here feels the opposite, has a problem with it, and/or feels it breaks protocol, I would be ok giving up the pick and moving elsewhere in the draft. I don't want to ruffle any feathers.

I don’t think you should have to change anything this draft as you were given the okay.

I personally think a lot of owners could do better having LeBron or Curry or Wilt etc and no other picks than picking in the 15-24 range.

Just make sure you do evals and we’ll be good boss. :)
