I thought about taking Moses over Kareem for a second...

...and I thought about taking Kareem over Bird, which GMs building a team would do.

 

[Nosferatu]

500 has been PM'd

I thought about taking Kareem over Magic. I can build a team around Magic though and he is so versatile.

Absolutely the right call. Best floor general to ever lace 'em up.

 

[Ritzarmy]

I thought about taking Pistol Pete and I did.

You should start Magic at Center...

TF takes the Iceman over J.

IMO, Iceman, J or Moses could all be switched around in any order but I'd have a very tough time not taking Moses.

J and Moses were the top two guys on my board. That was a great era for big men, Moses was the most dominant center outside of KAJ, but I figured I had a better chance of getting a quality big man later than a guy like an in his prime Doc. Tough call, Moses was awesome

Magic isn't the automatic Mock win that MJ is....but he's damn close IMO

Hoped Moses would have made it my way...

I think outside one of the top 3 picks, where you are picking is a great spot. Back to back top 10 spots is sweet

Yeah... Just not sure which 2... Sent Ritz my 2 guys but I hope it doesn't cost me the 1 other guy I want...

You can always trade up....I think

Never really works out... I changed 1 of my guys... I think I can still find a big end of round 3... I hope at least...

Ritz has my picks and my phone is about to die... As Arnold would say

"I'll be back"
