STARTERS
PG - Magic Johnson - $12
SG - George Gervin - $12
SF - Elgin Baylor - $11
PF - Dennis Rodman - $2
PF/C - Dave Cowens - $7

BENCH
PG - Steve Kerr - $0
SG - Manu Ginobili - $2
SF/PF - Josh Smith - $0
PF/C - Roy Tarpley - $0
C - James Donaldson - $1

MONEY REMAINING - $0

Magic vs Penny.....no way to spin this. Huge mismatch
Gervin vs Richmond....edge Gervin. No question
Rodman vs LBJ...Rodman gives him fits
Baylor vs Unseld...Baylor, will guard Unseld on D
Cowens vs Kareem... Will get double team help from Magic or Baylor

Magic gets everyone the ball where they want it and abuses Penny. Unseld, Caldwell Jones, Michael Cooper, TLance has so many non factors on offense, doubles on KAJ will always be available, and I have 3 shot blockers on the bench

VS

TLANCE

STARTERS
PG/SG - Penny Hardaway - $4
SG - Mitch Richmond - $6
SF - LeBron James - $12
PF - Wes Unseld - $5
C - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - $19

BENCH
PG/SG - Fat Lever - $2
SG - Michael Cooper - $0
SG/SF - Dale Ellis - $1
SG/SF - Jalen Rose - $0
PF/C - Caldwell Jones - $1

MONEY REMAINING - $0

-LBJ vs. Baylor- LBJ shuts him down (relatively speaking) no driving lanes available and LeBron has the size and athleticism to guard him.
-Unseld vs Rodman- Unseld can help, but his main job is to keep Rodman off the boards. As one of the best rebounders ever, he can do it. Also, I think he crushes Baylor on the Oboards because of his size advantage, and since Baylor will be used to help.
-Richmond on Gervin- Gervin may have a 1 on 1 edge, but Gervin can't space the floor and Richmond is one of the best shooters ever. Richmond will have plenty of help on D
-Penny vs Magic- Magic had the edge, but Penny has the size to guard him with help. If not, I can sub defense with Cooper or Lever, or offense with Ellis or Rose. Lots of options
-Kareem vs Cowens- Cowens can defend, but he is too small to guard Kareem. Besides, nobody can stop the sky hook.

Defensively, UK has some individual matchup advantages, but with no shooting in his starting lineup, spacing will be terrible. My bigs can help and everybody can have 1 foot in the paint when Magic, Baylor or Gervin attack. It is really hard to play offense when the D only has to guard out to 18 feet. Offensively, he had no rim protectors in the starting unit. LeBron and Kareem will eat inside and Wes Pounds the glass.

UK votes for himself. He is out right now working out and probably lifting a station wagon.

Lack of spacing on offense is my biggest basketball pet peeve so my vote will have to go to the TLancer. Individually UK's talent is probably better but I'm not so sure about the fit.

UK in a very close game. Hate voting for a cowgirl over a Redskin. Lose LB Junior Galette today for season and I voted for the rival :gaah:

Going tlance. Agree that his team fits better than UKs. And I mean Lebron and KAJ isn't too bad for talent.

It comes down to spacing and low post scoring. Richmond creates the spacing and Kareem has a huge mismatch.

Seriously?? I was just voting with who I thought had the advantage. Both were great teams and top 4 teams in this draft but I just felt some pieces didnt fit.

Honestly, I would have voted for UK if he wouldnt have made those changes. Dwight gave him a post presence and he was dominant in his prime even though he didnt have the best post moves. Mcadoo as a sixth man is pretty nice.

Yeah. I still would have sided with my team before, but I am biased. UK had the better bench before the moves, I think mine was better after.
