We dun know when Oelman will be here again so in 6 hours I will message my pick to someone or straight publish it here. I got a good one for Da juice. It must happen before Da Juice comes, the repercussions won't be as big as with Harden or Tmac.
One Allstar game with your franchise it would count as a legit spot. Allstar game with a Non Philly franchise, you can have him as a role player, won't count as Allstar.
I can say that is more intense without a specific Draft order at all. Imagine 20 guys played this, everyone out to get ye player. Or coach. Hide the wife and kids.
The strategy is definitely a lot more interesting. For instance, it's less about picking the best player early but a out getting a player who has played on a lot of teams early. In classic Juice form (this isn't the first draft I've royally screwed myself) I overbought and it tried to get cute- I thought Harden would fall further than he did because he wasn't anywhere near his MVP status in OKC/Seattle. I was going for a backcourt with him and Steve Francis (who I realize now was only good in Houston) to pair with Hakeem (who I'm guaranteed to get because there's no Raptors team). Before I jinx myself, how many players do we pick?
How can you not draft Tmac....maybe I was too much of a Tmac watcher back in the day but him before Steve Franchise every week every day. Twice on Weekends. I watched Steve franchise dribble down the clock and not pass to Yao. I think the 2004-05 Houston season alone would be worth it. 2-0 winning 2 in Dallas.... Could have had Hakeem, Harden and Tmac....Lowry. We pick 8 players.
I'll take penny hardaway for now since I know for sure I will have him on team and can't decide if I want my 4th all star being a backup 5 or space it out amongst my starters

barely anyone pays attention to backups, but imo, the best two starters you could pick - that i can think of - aren't all stars. this team is going to go fo fo fo
Well I have 3 starters I'm looking at. 2 are no problem but one made the all star game one year. Meanwhile I have a dominant backup C available but at a position of most strength. Meanwhile I have a very competent defensive center without an all star appearance. I realized much more than before after doing research just how overly stacked their center position has been in correlation with other positions.
you could try to trade the backup for somebody else's all star at a different position, though im not exactly sure how trades work in this draft yet
Yes, he gave all he got in one season, saw that Kobe was championship caliber and bolted the next season. So all the love from Tinman is a moot point.
