By the way guys, if you know you aren't going to be around pm me your pick and I'll post it for you. Its not like I can steal your pick since I just went and everyone has to draft before I go again. It'll greatly speed things up.

[Flik]

BTW, I decided against who I was originally taking, hence why Jarrett Allen makes no sense to any of those.

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520
Jamal Murray - 3,499,800
Russell Westbrook - 35,654,150
Jarrett Allen - 2,034,120
Jaren Jackson Jr - 5,915,040
Balance - 53,537,630

[Gridlockd]

Carmelo Anthony ($1,512,601)

[Chosun]

Tobias Harris ($14,800,000)

[Chosun]

Dutch takes Brandon Ingram

[Gert]

Jonathan Isaac ($4,969,080)

[O.G.]

Kevin Knox, $3,739,920

[Harley Quinn]

Lauri Markkanen ($4,536,120)
Buddy Hield ($3,833,760)

[O.G.]

Klay Thompson, $18,988,725

[Krankor]

He got taken in round 3.

[Krankor]

Gert's officially been on the clock for an hour.

[Chosun]

Gert PM’d me his pick - we’ll proceed with the draft and O.G. can pick anytime he gets back online.

Gert picks Joel Embiid ($25,267,450)

[Dutchy]

De’Aaron Fox ($5,470,920)

[Chosun]

John Wall ($19,169,800)

[Gridlockd]

Jaylen Brown ($5,169,960)

[O.G.]

Kyrie Irving, $20,099,188

[Krankor]

Flik's over his time. So I'm going to keep this thing moving.

Jimmy Butler
Kris Dunn

[Harley Quinn]

For anybody who hasn't seen it, the first post has a Yahoo league link now

[Flik]

Sorry guys, was busy with a thing and didn't think I would get picked. Surprised Grid didn't go yet.

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520
Jamal Murray - 3,499,800
Russell Westbrook - 35,654,150
Jarrett Allen - 2,034,120
Jaren Jackson Jr - 5,915,040
Mohamed Bamba - 4,865,040
Miles Bridges - 3,206,640
Balance - 61,609,310

Also fucking hell. I've still got 6 players to go and yet, I've got less 40m to work with. Yikes.

Signed up as Vin Baker 4 GM in the yahoo league

[Gert]

Haha only 18 million for me. I am really interested to see how this league works. Like you obviously want to win every league you play in but I want to see how the people right around the number versus those going over and taking the hit score. I also like trying to figure out the caliber of player I can afford the rest of the way.

[Gridlockd]

Draymond Green ($17,469,565)

[Flik]

Entire post is @Gert

I think everyone's probably going to end up over by the end of it. There's too much talent to be had, and not enough teams to leave players on the sidelines. It is going to be a measure of by what percentage you are not over by that'll make or break us for the first year.

Though, I see you decided to throw caution to the wind and say "fuck it" with only that much left. Wouldn't be surprised if you added another high end contract to your list.

I sort of know our tax limit, did the math while thinking about adding Westbrook. I just am trying not to reach it before I attempt another high paying move. Also, why do that when I can keep plucking low cost, good performance guys. The more of those I add, the less I need to worry about the tax. Though I'm probably going to go over there. There isn't going to be enough contracts that I can nab that will keep my costs in the 38-39m range.

Yeah the thing is I love the strategy but am probably not smart enough at the math to really figure out what the right way to play the back end of the draft is. My only real regret is taking Kawhi over Middleton since it's a $10 million dollar difference, but I like the fact that if Kawhi is a Top 5 player he may still be worth the extra money.

[Flik]

If Kawhi works out well, it should be a good contract. Though yeah, the Middleton contract might've been a better one to have.

I don't really think what I'm doing is a strategy, so much as just a way to try getting things done is all. If it was a true strategy, I would've done a lot more planning than this.

[Chosun]

Caris LeVert ($1,702,800)

[Dutchy]

Dwight Howard ($5,337,000)

[Krankor]

OG should be on the clock now.

[Chosun]

Just waiting on Gert and OG to join the Yahoo league.

[Krankor]

That's the time limit for OG.

I got Harley's next two picks for him. He's taking,
Elfrid Payton ($2,700,000)
Rudy Gobert ($22,741,573)

Since Gert and OG are over time limits that should put Dutchy officially on the clock.

Gert & OG will have two picks coming to them when they resurface.



Also some housekeeping from some omitted stuff in the first post:

Dollar amounts for my last two picks were,
Jimmy Butler ($20,445, 779)
Kris Dunn ($4,221,000)

Flik's round 6 pick was,
Mohamed Bamba ($4,865,040)

[Chosun]

That's the time limit for OG.

Thanks, appreciate your help.

[Chosun]

Dutchy is taking Jeremy Lamb ($7,488,372)

I'm taking Cedi Osman ($2,775,000)

[Gert]

Malik Monk ($3,447,480)

Bam Adebayo ($2,955,840)

[Gridlockd]

Brook Lopez ($3,382,000)

[Flik]

Meh. Fuck it.

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520
Jamal Murray - 3,499,800
Russell Westbrook - 35,654,150
Jarrett Allen - 2,034,120
Jaren Jackson Jr - 5,915,040
Mohamed Bamba - 4,865,040
Miles Bridges - 3,206,640
Kevin Durant - 30,000,000
Balance - 91,609,310

[Krankor]

About time someone took him.

Jusuf Nurkic $11,111,111
Domatas Sabonis $2,659,800

[Flik]

I just couldn't sit back and watch him languish there.

Ben Simmons - 6,434,520 - 3220.85
Jamal Murray - 3,499,800 - 2346.60
Russell Westbrook - 35,654,150 - 3912.20
Jarrett Allen - 2,034,120 - 1958.15
Jaren Jackson Jr - 5,915,040 - 1787.95
Mohamed Bamba - 4,865,040 - 1611.70
Miles Bridges - 3,206,640 - 904.10
Kevin Durant - 30,000,000 - 3236.50
JaVale McGee - 1,512,601 - 1587.40
Balance - 93,121,911 - 979.31/w

Can't take on another huge contract, but I think I can squeeze in enough contracts to make this work. Or I turn around and trade Durant to someone who wants Durant.

BTW, Chosun, can you change SG to G? Think that's what you meant, right?

[Krankor]

It's bothering my OCD as well. Lol

[Gridlockd]

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson ($2,470,357)

[O.G.]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, $3,375,360

[Dutchy]

Nikola Vucevic ($12,750,000)

[Krankor]

OG on the clock

[Krankor]

FYI, I have Harley's picks again. So I'll be posting them in an hour and 15 minutes when OG times out.

[Krankor]

Harley's picks

Grayson Allen ($2,074,320)
Kyle O'Quinn ($4,449,000)

That puts Dutchy on the clock.

[Dutchy]

Josh Jackson PHX ($6,041,520)

[Chosun]

Derrick White ($1,667,160)

Ricky Rubio ($14,975,000)

Am I up again? Saw myself on the list, but not earlier. Sorry for any confusion.
