Great conversation with the boys below. Unfortunately it took a bit to get this up but enjoy. Thank you Lasagna and tears of failure stooolfan and @hf
1. think the first one is obvious. What do you think about this draft
Brian - I don’t have any picks so I don’t think about the draft. I mean it does have the admiral which Drob is one of my fav players so, if I did have a low lotto pick I’d be shooting for him. I glanced at it and the class looks deep.
Stool - It’s very deep. I seem to always be competing during these deep drafts and get shit when I tank LOL
Eddy - Draft looks amazing the top 5-6 look like studs
2. Give me your top 5 in order
Brian - Drob
Stool - don’t have picks so haven’t deep looked into it. But I think the top is obvious
Eddy -
Drob
Pippin
Miller
Kukoc
KJ
3. I tried to get as many cheap assets as I Could to reset and I failed. Was it the right move to try or should I have just tanked harder?
Brian - probably tanked harder. Who knew the West would be randomly good this year and you would have to have 42 wins. I think if your team is close and you get something nice day 1 of FA, you reset any chance you can get though, so it wasn’t a mistake to try.
Stool - I think the reset was the right call, so many tankers hard tk get a good pick
Eddy - No I told you from the beginning to tank hard. Being mediocre isn't worth giving up a shot at DRob
(welp that blew up in my face)
4. Most teams going for a ring are loaded top to bottom. What position is least important to be a star to win
Brian - It depends, you can get by without almost any position if the other four are well staffed. Right now my PF is my weak spot. Utah was making it with Bigs and a sus PG/SG combo.
Stool - I’ve always found success with my Walton Bobby combo and a legit pg
Eddy - Not sure. I think there's a lot of wings so you can get by with mediocre ones. Also PGs are always gonna have volume so if you get one that can score efficiently you can get by with a random pg.
5. Is James worthy a max player? Asking for a friend
Brian - No, but someone will prol max his ass. Maybe he goes to the next level with a +15?
Stool - max his ass
Eddy - Not at all. Cedric Maxwell version 2.
6. Who takes the title this year?
Brian - The top four in the West, any of them can make it to the finals. Mavs were a much better team last year, but still good. Utah, Lakers, Warriors are all tough teams and Dallas is just 1- 4 against them this season. Over in the East, Bucks are my fav to go to the show but it could just as easily be the Hawks or the Magic
Stool - Me duhhhh. Prob magic
Eddy - The Grizzlies.
7. Best pick from last draft?
Brian - Nate McMillian. Andy got Nate at 12 and he probably should have gone in the 6 to 8 range.
Stool - My pick I traded to Detroit (Brad) but I had to win
Eddy - Ron Tarpley
8. Worst pick?
Brian - Panagiotis Fasoulas. No idea if he is any good or not, just his name sounds like a horrible STD
Stool - not sure I didn’t have a pick last draft
Eddy - the guy the blazers drafted. He sucks
9. What types of trades make you hesitate on pulling the trigger
Brian - Any that come with an explanation of why it’s an awesome deal for me. I don’t trade just to trade, is sorta the long and short of it. I’ve started sourcing my trades instead of trade blocks, unless I am ready to just move people for the tank.
Stool - I should of moved English for Bill but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to move English
Eddy - I get attached to my youth so it's hard for me to trade them. But normally those trades like the Laimbeer one I did is hard for me to pull the trigger.
10. Do you normally eat breakfast? I ask because I worked home today and had the time to make avocado on English muffin with eggs and sausage. If you do eat it what’s your go to!
Brian - Normal day, yes. If it’s non stop to start the day, then no. If I’m being good it’s a banana and some Greek yogurt with blueberries. If I’m being my normal fat bastard self, it’s a breakfast burrito. If I forgot to bring stuff with me to work, it’s a bacon egg and cheese biscuit from Bojangles
Stool - Never I usually grab a mt dew and go arrest some bad guys on drugs. But in Mexico been eating well. Full disclosure hammered by the pool answering these
Eddy - Not a breakfast guy because I usually wake up at 2 am for work and don't want to make anything at that time.
