[Jayrod]

Oh, eff it.  My work can suffer...I'm in.

 

[Yo Mama]

Willing to go with the majority on injuries. Maybe the best way to handle is to assume no more injuries but players like Jamal Murray and Colin Sexton are out for the year?

I like this idea. Draft the players with their current health and abilities with an eye towards how they’ll perform in the playoffs this year on our new teams. 
 

For example, someone currently out for 4-6 weeks can be assumed to be back by the end of the season and ready to go for our competition. No additional injuries assumed beyond their current prognosis.

Ok we'll go with this unless someone wants to throw a fit about it.

Draft the players with their current health and abilities ...

This implies to me that guys who haven't laced them up all season are essentially a no-go? If so, I'm in favor.

 

[scoobus]

Who's up?

 

[scoobus]

Oh didn't realize Frosty had an updated list in first post, how many we going for?

24 gets us to WIS...

I vote we get one more for 20 and roll with it....that's 200 players.  Enough that we'll have to dig but not so many that we are drafting irrelevant guys.

Agreed.

 

[Frostillicus]

Agreed.

I'll leave it open until the end of tomorrow.  Then I'll do one of those random order things to get a draft order. 

 

[dunfee555]

If there's still room for one more, I'll jump in. 

 

[Jayrod]

If there's still room for one more, I'll jump in. 

@Frostillicus

Let's get this praty started.

You're in.

 

[Frostillicus]

@Frostillicus

Let's get this praty started.

Don't boss me.

 

[Jayrod]

Don't boss me.

Don't make me make you my ##### in this draft (again).

 

[Frostillicus]

Don't make me make you my ##### in this draft (again).

Well you're out.

 

[Frostillicus]

Gonna leave this open for a bit longer just to make sure we didn't miss anybody. Draft order coming **soon**!!!!!!

 

[Frostillicus]

Alright it's been 4 hours with no other interest, so here we go.

 

[Frostillicus]

Draft Order

 

[Frostillicus]

Yes you can trade draft picks.

I never get a good draft slot in any of these basketball drafts.   Right in the middle - BORING!

Love the video, dislike the results.

15 more your style?

 

[scoobus]

@DJackson10

Not gunna lie, nervous about this for a full draft...

Prove me wrong!

 

[Yo Mama]

15 more your style?

MORE BORING!!

 

[wikkidpissah]

not complaining, but the reversal looks a lot less right for 20 than it do for 12

 

[scoobus]

Sounds like someone wants to trade out of #2.

 

[wikkidpissah]

not at all. but i dont think i'd  do this for $$ now.

 

[Frostillicus]

Too late!

 

[Frostillicus]

I'm going to try really hard to use any enforced clock. Let's all be responsible adults here. 

 

[Gr00vus]

Just saw this. I don't know #### about the NBA anymore so I was out regardless. Just wanted to wish you all luck. Except @scoobus.

 

[Instinctive]

4, interesting. I'm certain to be pleased with my options, which is nice. 

Clarifying: this is a one season go, yeah? Not a dynasty?

 

[Frostillicus]

Understandable, but I still think it's necessary in basketball. Look at the MVP odds (not the end all be all, but a good start). There are just three players at better than 10-1, and another four better than 20-1. That's it. Like, 7 possible MVPs (and I pick eight. Neat). Plus, since we are going to do some kind of voting, the teams with those 7 players (again, neat) are going to automatically get more cred from teh voters just for those names. 

But if you like, I'll trade you #8 for #2.

One season only. Players out for the year (Jamal Murray, Colin Sexton) are ineligible. All others are fine (Ben Simmons).

The top half of this draft has a MASSIVE advantage. If we did a round reversal every round I’m still not sure it would even out.

But that’s the nature of the NBA, it is what it is.

Seems Kawhi would be out. Or else you a dude coming off of knee surgery with zero games played

Similar for Ben Simmons, different reason.

 

[Frostillicus]

Kawhi out?

I'm going to say yes. 

 

[Frostillicus]

You know what, Simmons is out too. You have to have played at least 1 minute in the NBA this year, and can't have been ruled out for the season already. 

I DECLARE IT SO.

Dang, was hoping someone would waste a pick on him.

 

[Frostillicus]

I take it back, I really like the 8th spot.

to reward Uncle Flatbrain in any fashion for selfish pig####ness would greatly diminish this exercise.

If we're doing a "No COVID World":

On my board, Irving blew out his knee 10/25/2021 in the second half against the Wizards.

If someone drops out, I'd love to participate as an avowed current-NBA hater, and consistent drinker.  Give me any spot, I care not.

Also, waiting with breath that is quite baited for the DJax 1.1 pick and Hippling of 15 posts.
