What a great time to be alive. Hour half train ride each way into manhattan allowed me to ask questions and post the response on the way home. Enjoy this RT featuring Jayda beastly and mike
mike - It’s a nice little change to the league. Has already increased the value of mid to late firsts, even 2nds!
2. What is the difference in trade value mid season (not during draft) for a later pick now? I assume it doesn’t change much but has some use
3. I really like where we landed with 1 physical and 1 skill attribute. What would you have liked to see if different
4. What a draft! It flew by pretty quickly. What did you think about the top 5.
5. Paul was picked higher but Who will have a better career. Chris Paul with Sargo, Melo and Bogut…. Or Deron with Lums and Livingston? Actually make a case it will be lums. Just try your best
6. Spurs won the title and Jeff McGinnis reigns supreme. Did the spurs winning surprise you?
7. Onto this year. Cy is back and our friend chipper is taking it on. What does he need to do to succeed.
8. Who’s the favorite this year to win it all. Give me east and west and champ
9. Will CC ever trade spreewell or Play Kittles? How impressive is it they are still on original teams (whoops I missed the retirement of this great)
10. Spence talked about simming at a cafe(venmo the man for a croissant). What’s your cafe go to
1. G league baby! This makes me real excited. How about you? Thoughts?
Jayda – It doesnt make me exicted. I think it makes the league better, but I am worried about inflation with this so we will see how it goes.
beastly – Yes I guess, got Korolev thanks to lums guys with build like him havent panned out this version yet but he maybe the change with the teens TC, I wanted to pick my Filipino brother Andray Blatche but its whatever.
2. What is the difference in trade value mid season (not during draft) for a later pick now? I assume it doesn’t change much but has some use
Jayda – I dont think it changes value until people see the draft. If the draft seems deep the value of picks will go up. I think during draft will be the highest value for non-lotto picks.
beastly – I assume it doesn’t change much but has some use
Not much difference imho, late picks have the same value but the mid teens pick increased value I guess. Before late lotto picks have value based on the off chance they jumped, now I guess mediocre teams can pawn their pick to get more win now players I guess. mike - It definitely increases value. To be able to +6 and potentially get an extra AC is nice!
3. I really like where we landed with 1 physical and 1 skill attribute. What would you have liked to see if different
Jayda – I think this is plenty. I think one plus 3 wouldve been the move but I will take 2 of them.
beastly – Allows for multiple Dleague players when traded I think the rule isnt clear yet as im probably trading Karolev after he explodes in TC to get win now players.
mike - 3 questions on the G League!? Lmao im fine with it. Anything more would be overkill. I like the skill/physical boost.
4. What a draft! It flew by pretty quickly. What did you think about the top 5.
Jayda – The top 5 were always gonna be the top 5 imo. I think Granger might end up the 2nd best all-around player from this draft. Bogut will be DPOTY probably with the Warriors bias.
beastly – I guess its whatever I could make a case that any of the 2-4 picks could be picked higher or lower they were similarly valued prospects imho.
mike - Played out perfectly for me. Getting CP3 is huge. Josh really wasn’t a fit for us, so to land a defensive and rebounding big in Bogut is juicy. Very happy with the top 2. After that, Granger was the right pick at 4 imo and Deron, despite having Livingston was correct. Bynum is going to be a stud though.
5. Paul was picked higher but Who will have a better career. Chris Paul with Sargo, Melo and Bogut…. Or Deron with Lums and Livingston? Actually make a case it will be lums. Just try your best
Jayda – UMMMMM Lumley made a mistake picking another PG. he doesnt trade so what is he going to do? Anyways its obviously CP3. He couldve went to any GM and hed have a better career.
beastly – It's obviously sargo tbh, but he'll get bored again when the next goat draft come through and trade for picks. I think the Josh Smith trade is a very big win for him, I like this deal for him a lot especially since Smoove was not +15ed. Lums is a good dude he'll have a nice player.
mike - I can’t try and I don’t want to try. It’ll be CP3. No question. Deron should be very good though.
6. Spurs won the title and Jeff McGinnis reigns supreme. Did the spurs winning surprise you?
Jayda – Nothing in the playoffs surprises me. Its a crap shoot best teams dont always win. His team was very good just think the Nets were the best team.
beastly – Nah last year was wide open with Spencer injuring every ONE of my players every sim. Sad times for steve vedda though I think its karma for him being the biggest troll in fbb history.
mike - Not really. I liked their squad. Big fan of AK as I keep trying to trade for him. He’d be perfect at SF next to Melo. Man! Trade his ass to me!
7. Onto this year. Cy is back and our friend chipper is taking it on. What does he need to do to succeed.
Jayda – He needs a friend trade. Joe Johnson re-signing would be step one. Then trading Sofo for an elite big would be the next step. He probably wont do that though.
beastly – Should have taken my deal for Al Jeff tbh, bur guess thats life. Al Jeff should be elite just like last edition. Joe Johnson looks Okay but nothing groundbreaking imho. He could always trade Sofo though and can make the .500 even if JJ dont re-sign.
mike - Re sign Joe Johnson and add a few more pieces. If Joe leaves, he’s toast. Idk why chipper dealt for Joe this early when he expired.
8. Who’s the favorite this year to win it all. Give me east and west and champ
Jayda – give me the Pacers out East and the Spurs out west. Nobody will overtake them since Nuggets want to rebuild with 30 PPG lebron on his rookie contract.
beastly – Suns and Celtics. Suns winning it all. Just need a better PG than Matt Maloney and Spencer not to kill every player every sim. Nets or Cavs can take East I guess too
mike - Suns if they can add depth. Like that squad. I’ll pick the Celtics out East. Gil is so elite.
9. Will CC ever trade spreewell or Play Kittles? How impressive is it they are still on original teams (whoops I missed the retirement of this great)
Jayda – Spreewell retired I am pretty sure. Kittles will not be moved. He wont think he is getting enough value and hold onto him till he retires or loses him in FA.
beastly – Spree retire uhm so I have one possible answer? Okay I have a different one, neither, Play is gonna keep Kittles til the end. He wants to win deals, which GMs should always have in mind when trying to trade. But I doubt he get a shiny prospect for him with matching salary. Maybe to Hawks for re-signed JJ i guess?
mike - Well didn’t Spre retire? I think so. Play probably deals Kittle this year but it’s too late! Should have been mine years ago! Smh
10. Spence talked about simming at a cafe(venmo the man for a croissant). What’s your cafe go to
Jayda – I drink Americano's black. I prefer them iced, but in the winter obviously go with the hot drink. I love the taste of coffee/espresso so cream and sugar ruin it for me.
beastly – Ive been doing 3 in 1 coftee but heard it has a ton of sugar. Ive been loving matcha lately too and caramel machiatto. Always preferred iced though.
mike - Im boring and simple. Just give me a black coffee and a poppy seed bagel baby!
