Thanks for the tag @David Hume . In the redraft, I'll stick with my previous pick: Giannis Antetokounmpo ($54,126,450)

Personally I'd keep the rules that we started with (although I agree that 225 would've been a more interesting number to work with). Maybe a compromise could be incorporating an apron system? 290 is the hard cap, 260 is the second apron threshold, and 225 is the first apron threshold. Then do a...

My next pick will be someone I drafted in the all-time draft: Jaren Jackson Jr ($35,000,000) I just like the versatility of a big man who stretches the floor, scores, and defends.

Looks like @Miggs is up next

Thanks for the tag. I'll take: Giannis Antetokounmpo ($54,126,450) I would have loved to start off with less of a cap hit, but I felt like passing on a top 5 player in the first round would come back to bite me. I also love that Giannis is a two-way player.

Team 6 is great (all the teams at this point are great, of course). But I just favor the balance of defense and offense on the other two teams. It feels like team 6 is leaning heavily on Bill Russell to carry the defense.

Obviously we always remember Kirilenko's defense, but he has some of my favorite assist highlights of all time too.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can we vote for our own team if we think it would be one of the best?

If y'all still have space, I'm in

Also Paul George, which is how they got SGA. That trade kinda mirrors what happened with the Mitchell trade for Lauri, but while Lauri blossomed into an all-star, SGA blossomed into an MVP-caliber player.

"book long" lmao Thought you wanted to talk about OKC as a blueprint like the rest of us and not just repeat how much you hate Keyonte over and over.

So you didn't even read my post I guess? Giddey was there 3 years. Tre Mann was there 2.5 years (it's right there in the part you quoted). Poku was there freaking 5 years. And Dillon Jones was someone they traded 5 2nd round picks for and then, yes, decided to move him along after a year...

Who are all these first-rounders (meaning guaranteed contracts) that OKC abandoned before year 3. Let's go back a decade and look at first round picks that the Thunder didn't hold onto. Josh Huestis? 3 years. Cameron Payne? 3 years. Terrance Ferguson? 3 years. Darius Bazley? 5 years. Josh...

OKC traded for SGA. And the Pacers traded for Siakam and Haliburton.

With my last pick, I want a glue guy. Someone to lift other people up, cheer from the bench, and fill in when his number is called. I'll take: Shane Battier - F He is one of the few Twyman-Stokes award winners (because players often win multiple years) so you know he's a great teammate. He can...

I just see it as fluid so I didn't bother, but you're right Billups would fill the PG role more often.

@Coach Ellis is up next

Horry was literally going to be my next pick, haha. Good thing I have some other glue guys I can take with my last pick. But with my penultimate pick, I'll take: Allan Houston - SG With these last couple slots, I'm aiming less for overall talent and more for specific roles. I want a dead-eye...

After trading for SGA, the Thunder had 3 losing seasons, and 2 of those were quite bad losing seasons. This was their 5th season after trading for their eventual star. 5 seasons is an eternity in the NBA: Lauri's contract would be up by then. Maybe if the Jazz seem like possible contenders, he'd...

Didn't realize Hayes had so many accolades. My 10th pick will be: Chauncey Billups - G I've always liked him since that Pistons championship team. Defense, shooting, leadership. Depth Chart PG Tyrese Haliburton / Allen Iverson SG John Havlicek / Chauncey Billups SF LeBron James / Grant Hill...
