I hear what you are saying ben. But you most likely a much better owner than most of us, me included that's for sure, in this league and IMO would have a huge advantage buy getting 2 first round picks so high. It would be fun to know who the other owners were with the top five picks and who the players were that they picked.
Just going off memory and not looking back, jhsukow took LeBron and Dennis Rodman 2nd and 4th, and CJ took Karl Malone and Charles Barkley 4th and 5th. That might be slightly incorrect but it’s close.
I get the argument that I shouldn’t have 2 high picks because of my success. I do. I just think it’s a very slippery slope once you start saying that good owners can’t make trades that help them, but less good owners can. And I think it’s a slippery slope to say that this trade is too uneven to allow, because now every trade is going to be a big hoopla every single season.
