I don't think you should get extra credit simply for drafting dudes that are retired

I think it's far more likely that all three will be a flash in the pan than eventual top 25.

I'd be shocked if either AD or Harden ever gets close to the Hall of Fame. Westbrook might. . . but he's going to have to win something besides a single MVP to get there.

You're in for a rude awakening. Barring injuries, all three will make the HOF.

Davis did a lot of that because his team sucked. Barkley didn't need to shoulder the same load as he had Kevin Johnson, Dan Majerle and others to score.

So Barkely efficiency should have been much better since he had good teamates and help? Plus better spacing and less attention on him. Teams just focused on AD since his team had no one else.

I don't think you should get extra credit for drafting dudes that might be top-25 all-time when their careers are over.

We're talking about right now not about the future.
 
Has anyone acknowledged the fact that Addy has a really bad bench compared to mine? My 6th and 7th best players are better than his starting SF. I feel like I'm repeating myself here with that statement.

Remind me to draft both of them next year. Then I won't even have to worry who I draft to play SF.

Yes, drafting a better team would help. Good to know that PG and PG are also unimportant.

Edit: In all fairness this was really tough. Also you're tied. Stop being petty lol.

Part of it is that guys who are currently playing will be looked upon as worse than HOF guts, just because their career is over. If Barkley and AD are both playing today, I think AD is the better player. Idgaf whether one is a HOF player or not. Hell, Barkley at 29 wasn't a HOF player, so by your logic, we should ignore that he is now.

The exact opposite is happening. Players playing now are getting more respect than the retired players.

And? Mashburn is his 5th man, who cares?

You mentioned earlier that you would have Pippen help on AD and Shaq, or even Harden/Westbrook. You have a problem there. Addy's team is full of really good passers. Mashburn hit 40% from 3 at his best. So yeah, Pippen can help, but he's leaving a good shooter wide open. And if he stays, Shaq and AD feast inside. I just don't see you winning.

If you knew who my bench players were your bench would be handling and measuring their balls right now.
