This is fantasy NBA GM'ing. There's no room for friends here.There's just too many opponents and you can't rag on every team without it becoming a bad look for you.

You're fired.I'd like offer my services as GM to help improve this team. 1st drop Livingston, Gibson, Gortat, and Nick Papagiorgio. 2nd fire Blatt. 3rd add Tyler Zeller, Cody Zeller, Ben Hansborough, and Tyler Hansborough. 4th Hire Tom Crean. 5th win every game
The assignment was to build a team people would most like to be a fan of. Players like Andrew Wiggins, Ben Simmons, and JJ Reddick are great players, they each have an elite NBA talent. But a lot of people on here wouldn't want to be a fan because of bias towards the players while they were in college.I think Gonzo has a top 3 team. I think next time we need to word it "which team is the best" though.
The criteria is slightly different every year. I like changing things up. Just saying the "best team" is too broad. Last year it was who has the best chance to win now and over the next 5 years. Slightly different, but more of an emphasis on winning.Yea I agree, I meant the next time we do this draft we should be assigned to build the best team not which would you rather be a fan of.
Things can still change. But if the current voting holds I think we seed as follows (don't get too hung up on seeding if teams are tied in the voting then there's no objective way to differentiate between the two).So it's looking like Gonzo vs catsfan for a play in. How are we going to decide the other match ups?
It doesn't matter to me either. I just felt it wouldn't have been the best if we randomly got paired up (or the 2 least got getters when it's all done).Sounds good to me, if I'm tied with JBHolmesFan I don't care to take the 2 seed so there's no debate.
I would say let's start everyone at the same time. Maybe run the play-in poll tomorrow, and start round 1 on Monday.After this poll closes I'll start a new one between gonzo and catsfan. Should we start the other match ups then too besides the 1 vs 8 since we'll know what they're going to be?

I like the salary idea. A guy like Isaiah Thomas is so much more valuable in real life because he's only making $7 million each of the next 2 years. Player contracts are vital in the NBA. It's hard to do it on here though.I think next time we should get 8-12 posters who will stick and do this with a salary cap/salaries. Would be fun.

The part of the criteria that was REALLY important to me was the 5 year time span. By their mid 30's, even most stars have sharply declined in their abilities and that directly influences how fun they are to watch. That's how I see it at least. We have lots of guys drafted that either won't be playing in 5 years or will be a shadow of themselves. That's why I have a relatively young and proven coach and none of my players are over 28.The criteria is slightly different every year. I like changing things up.

Hypothetically speaking, if I felt a team had a chance to beat my team, I'd vote against that team.
Hypothetically speaking. Hypothetically.
Hypothetically it would be better to take that approach in a knock out round.Hypothetically speaking, if I felt a team had a chance to beat my team, I'd vote against that team.

I voted for the 2 rosters that I would enjoy the least. Yours was not one of them.
Hypothetically speaking, if you were wearing a tinfoil hat you might want to adjust it.
Hmmm......... in a poll for least likable team (basically):
I am shocked, SHOCKED!
- 0 votes - Ukcats1988 (3 former UK players), JBHolmesFan (2)
- 2 votes - Aike (4), Gossie21 (3), BigBlueFanGA (3)
- 3 votes - Rupp's runt (1)
- 7 votes - Cats192 (0)
- 12 votes - Gonzocat90 (0)
- 13 votes - Catsfan3523 (0)
It was a bold strategy for some teams to avoid UK players, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off.Hmmm......... in a poll for least likable team (basically):

Not so much an explicit strategy as a refusal to draft summer league standouts over real championship level rotation players.
Hey man, it's a five year projection. Maybe your bench of Redick, Smith, and Dragic can win some kind of senior league in 2021.
Don't know about everyone else, but I would watch it. Love a good game of HORSE.
Tomorrow? You can do the honors if you'd prefer.@GonzoCat90 when are you wanting to get the poll started?
Tomorrow is fine. No its fine, you can do it. I was just wondering when you were wanting to start it up.Tomorrow? You can do the honors if you'd prefer.
You all gonna run the poll through Sunday night or Monday morning?
I would say final-4 and title rounds should be 2 days.
Maybe just one day for the first round?
