At this rate we might need to think about the 21-22 seasons. ??

First couple rounds started out even slower last time around (we were on pace for almost 24 days). I am as guilty as anyone in terms of complaining about it.

It happens. It isn't great. But we haven't had any like 20 hour delays this time. It will pick up.

I'm still surprised Nash fell so far. I had him and Lillard as about even, though they have some pretty notable differences. Nash is obviously a zero on the boards and on defense, and the turnovers are scary.

But Nash also has 5 seasons of 33+ minutes, tier 4 usage, 55+ EFG, 27+ AST (4 of 5 are over 34), and is super clean on 3s, FTs, and fouls. I might have ended up going with Lillard if I had the choice, but was very happy to have Nash fall to me, since I really needed some 3s and wanted more passing. Kyrie was the only other guy I seriously considered at that spot.

I had Nash last season, and offensively, was very happy. Almost took him again.

Busy day in the NBA today. Going to miss CJ.

Sabonis for Haliburton was interesting. Guess the Kings could find a taker for Fox.

I think this is their version of a “win now” move.

I don't envy them trying to build a contender around Lillard and CJ (the latter mostly) but it's still incredible how incompetent the Blazers FO has been

Think you're right, but I wonder if Fox and Sabonis will only succeed in winning more lottery picks

Everything unraveled after Paul Allen died. Jody has no interest in running the team and is just trying to slowly work through all the trust items so she can sell.

She is awful and for maybe the first time in its existence, the franchise is looking at some real longterm. Not going to be fun.

I guess it depends on the other moves.

Holmes, Barnes... whoever else I assume is also available to move?

Don't know what Sacremanto is doing, but I do know that if Philly doesn't pick up Harden, this is a huge failure for Morey because he probably could have gotten Hield and Haliburton for Simmons.

I was stuck between AK and Camby with my last pick. Figured it was a 0% chance AK made it past the turn and to my next pick, and Camby had 0.5% chance get back to me. Now that adding Marcus isn't an option, hopefully not a decision I regret.

gerryred has found a new slant.

I covered the 4/5 rotation with my first 3 picks. Stay out of my paint biotches!

They're getting nothing from Simmons so it may be worth the risk, but I think Harden is done as an impact player. Unless he pulls a plant based life style and gets himself in shape like Chris Paul. But his deal is up this summer I think and that's a big gamble for Philly. I would go another direction.
