My team is looking a whole lot better after last night. :D

I got the best player in the world! So glad Haras took Curry with #1, we all know who the best player in the world is when it comes down to it. It's totally not fair and a lot of luck that I got LeBron with the #2 pick, but you can't deny just having him gives my squad a chance at the title every year.

Plus, I've got shooters and defenders all around him. Hell, even my center (Al Horford) shot 34.4% from 3 land this season. This is basically the dream team around LeBron - shooters and defenders. He can drive and kick for days and has all the space he needs on offense to do what he does best - go to the hole.

Mike Conley | Patty Mills
Khris Middleton | Rodney Hood | Iman Shumpert
LeBron James | Trevor Ariza
Kevin Love | Amir Johnson
Al Horford | Bismack Biyombo | Jahlil Okafor

3. ThatAlex:
Quick analysis: How to build around Lebron: Shooters, shooters, shooters and defense. That is exactly what Alex did. He got a bunch of 3 and D type players along with a couple guys who can do a little more like Mike Conley who I think will flourish with players who can actually allow driving lanes. My only concern is interior toughness. Kevin Love is having a really rough finals series and questions are coming up with just how much does he really fit with Lebron. He doesn’t provide much else besides being a stretch 4 with Lebron and that is an issue with a second round pick. Al Horford paired with Kevin Love sounds like a really soft interior. Though I think Biyombo is overrated drastically, he is the perfect fit for this team as he fills a huge need for them. Let’s not overlook Jahlil Okafor as the last guy who probably won’t play on this team, but there is a chance he becomes a really good player in the future (likely he won’t become a star in the 3 year span).
Strength: Lebron, 3 point shooting, spacing, front court offense
Weakness: Rebounding, interior defense
Biggest Need: A tough big man with some offensive competence. Zach Randolph is available?
Best Pick: John Wall. 26th pick… You serious?
Worst Pick: Kevin Love. This finals has put a hurting on Love’s value and chemistry with Bron
Riskiest Pick: Bismack Biyombo'

5. Voyaging:
Quick Analysis: The Clippers with depth. Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and Hassan Whiteside is essentially a worse version of the Clippers big 3. It worries me that the Clippers haven’t won in a 30 team league. However, there is a lot more depth on this team and I really like the Robin Lopez Tristan Thompson picks for backups. Whiteside is a guy you don’t want to give too many minutes to so having this depth can allow these players to play with a ton of energy and then get their needed rest. My biggest concern of this team will be the 2-guard position. I love Kidd-Gilchrist but I don’t think he fits this team well, KCP will be decent, I don’t think Jrue Holiday is someone you want playing the two let alone starting and then I believe Bradley Beal is very overrated. He can shoot decent, but provides nothing else.
Strength: Bigs
Weakness: SG, ‘Clippers’
Biggest Need: SG
Best Pick: Tristan Thompson/Jae Crowder
Worst Pick: Bradley Beal
Riskiest Pick: Rajon Rondo (for the sake of not saying Beal again)


Thanks for your analysis!

Though the real Clippers big 3 is way better than the big 3 of any teams in this fantasy draft so I'll take it.

I disagree. I would say Paul griffin Jordan are better than all these teams big threes except:

Pinecones: durant Aldridge Jordan
Alex: lebron Conley and either horford or love
Tualumni: DMC klay and wall... Or wade.

I did like your team. It was pretty tough because every team has talent to decide a ranking. I'd say 5 (4 if you wanna exclude my own team because bias) means your team is pretty damn good.

Looking to trade for a SG.

Chris Paul is available (or someone else if he isn't elite SG).

Well I'm interested in McCollum and PG13, though ofc not CP3 for McCollum straight up. So either Some 1-for-1 trade with whoever you''re interested in or CP3 + someone for one of them and a player better than my someone to balance the trade.

Lmk who of mine you're interested in besides Cp3.


Bradley Beal, Jrue Holiday, and Rondo also all available for trade.
