I want to do this, but since the team I'd normally pick is already gone I'll just take whoever the last team chosen is. And I do have PMs.

(so probably the kings)

hello, i am generally managing something called the "memphis grizzleys". I assume they are a basketball team fueled entirely by barbecue and blues music and will plan my draft accordingly.

god bless.

Can't wait to lowball my way through the superstars and then late in the game offer up $170 for Kyle Lowry or something.

For some weirdass reason my PMs are not working right now so I am going to send you an email. I will make sure you know it's me.

I'm very glad that no players that I'm in love with are on today's list because today is basically an exercise in guessing if people in this group are going to overbid or underbid. And also what constitutes an overbid or an underbid.

on the bright side I'd never heard of Bottom 5 NBA Player Patricio Garino so I'm learning things today.

The Dallas Mavericks (Drunk Canuck) draft Demetrius Jackson for $10.

fun fact: since he played like, 20 minutes all year, Demetrius Jackson is really really highly ranked in advanced stats that control for minutes played. He was #2 in PER according to Baskeball-Reference.com.

edit: I think I bid like, $3 entirely because of low sample sizes.

yeah, the worst thing about underbidding is missing out on a guy you might want. the worst thing about overbidding is not having any money and having Nik Stauskas and Udonis Haslem on your roster.

8 players for $64 is really a bargain if you think about it, he could fill out the roster for a total of $56 more and then pocket the rest of the money. Highly profitable strategy

this makes me incredibly excited to see just how much a genuine all-star like Blake Griffin is gonna go for.

# ¿ Jul 6, 2017 04:10

DC Murderverse: Nov 10, 2016; "Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

Turner is right on the edge of being a top 25-30 player so it makes sense that at least one out of 30 people is gonna highly value him

still better than $10 Stauskas

My hot prediction is that Blake goes for less

I straight up did not bid on him, which is probably stupid (there's literally no harm in bidding $1 on an all-star on the off chance that 29 other people have simultaneous strokes or something).

I just PMed you, DD. Sorry I've been moving and ignored my calendar alert today. Doesn't look like I missed much though in terms of players, although I was hoping to bid $86 for Myles (not really).

are you telling me you weren't planning on cornering the market on Bad Point Guards and Rookies?

so far the closest I've come to winning a bid is being $5 away from Joe Ingles

I'm not optimistic for today.

honestly you made out like a drat bandit today. I might be underrating good bench players/role players in my bidding process.

# ¿ Jul 6, 2017 04:54

DC Murderverse: Nov 10, 2016; "Tell that to Zod's snapped neck!"

I honestly think we might not have any need for a Day 20 at this rate. If only one or two guys go undrafted each day we might have trouble getting to 27. (assuming one guy today goes undrafted)

# ¿ Jul 6, 2017 04:58

That actually seems like a reasonable price.

Why the gently caress aren't all of you overbidding? Stop being reasonable!

You know what's egregious? Having no players. You let Pato Garino walk away and no matter what you do you'll never be able to take that back.

actually the biggest mistake I made was not bidding a dollar and getting in on the Johnny O'Bryant Sweepstakes

A good GM realizes there's going to be bad players on his team, and strives to bid as little as possible for them (but still make bids on them). If you don't bid on bad players, you're team will only have about 7 guys on it.

you literally cannot end up with less than 15 players and at a certain point all bad players are going to be roughly the same so

like, in the terms we're talking here, unless you're measuring by age and possibility of not sucking, what's the difference between Raul Neto, Trey Burke, Demetrius Jackson and Briante Weber?
