Huh? I drafted John Collins? You acquired #18 in exchange for #29 and #30 in this trade. My mistake! I had that in my original write-up too, not sure how I dropped the ball on that one. So does this mean i get the 3rd place now?

PS. As an aside to this writeup, and to spice things up a bit because Billy King is always so quick to criticize others , the woeful Donovan Mitchell trade involving Billy King made me go back and check his drafting history. Sorry Billy King it's not pretty viewing: 2015Trade: Jabari Parker OUT <-> #4 Justise Winslow and #5 Emmanuel Mudiay IN #18 Justin Anderson #28 Cliff Alexander #35 Dakari Johnson #36 Rakeem Christmas #46 Jonathan Holmes 2016Two Trades: (1, 2): #2 Brandon Ingram OUT <-> #11 Denzel Valentine, #14 Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, #17 Guerschon Yabusele, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and UTA 2018 1st (#8 Collin Sexton) IN #15 Georgios Papagiannis #24 Deyonta Davis #31 Ivica Zubac #37 Diamond Stone #53 Josh Adams 2017#1 Markelle Fultz #4 Jayson Tatum Trade: Zach LaVine OUT <-> #8 Zach Collins IN (Donovan Mitchell, John Collins to MEM) #32 Isaiah Hartenstein #50 Alpha Kaba uh you know that rhj is better than ingram by himself then add pick #8 to that (would've been better because who the fuck trades for marvin williams and shit when tanking) both tatum and collins were great picks. i didnt trade donovan mitchell i trade that pick that was like 5 picks later that became him. lmao i had one bad year where i passed on kristaps

Ivica Zubac is pretty good too. Billy isn't the worst drafter. He's just had high picks in shitty draft classes.

Second Place for 2018 Executive of the Year goes to... James Kay!! Charlotte HornetsWow, I'm surprised James only took 2nd place this year. I thought he would be the winner for sure after the KD trade.

WOW WOW WOW. What a surprise. I was hoping to be named as a runner-up but I never really thought I can win this year's award. It is truly an honor! Thank you Ian Noble! It is a pleasure reading Ian's write-ups about the league and EOTY awards every year but to read your name on it and be awarded as the executive of the year is another feeling! No words can express how happy excited I was when I saw my name. Mabuhay ang D5!
