True, but it’s what’s in the chest that matters lol. Quality > quantity, no offense (:

Kudos for almost getting that over the finish line. That would be a nasty squad

Same reason I didn’t get it done. Very true.

Got the best deals I could. True Sharone deal was a big fat L but bigs are inflated and raptors needed a win

Agreed. Think he's what jabba referred to as "high risk high reward" if I recall correctly.

To be fair I had Baron as B- B- B- B- C B

And then people complained about rating inflation.

Damned if you do damned if you don’t

Yeah he was probably the only one that I didn’t expect at 8…

I think Lakers went with the safe choice. But I don’t think he will be the second best player in the draft.

Agreed. Didn’t think Brand would go 2nd. I preferred Maggette, but 2nd pick was tricky tbh. Odom, Manu, Rip, Artest, etc., could all become better; it’s a tough draft. I’m glad I don’t have this problem this year tbh lol.

I don't think rating inflation is going to be fixed in the drafts. It can't be, and it would negatively effect everyone with picks moving forward.

A solution for inflation is beyond drafts. So you do you.
