As the owner of the Wizards pick next year, I say it's not a good thing too see as it may lead to advantages for Washington going into the off-season  Congrats though. Wizards have 9 players under contract for next off-season with the 2nd best player being rated 74 and a considerable amount of cap space spent. I can assure you that your chances are still solid.  |

The 5th pick in the 2015 D5 Draft will go to:  5. New York Knicks - This means only one team in the Top 3 lost out and moved down! Will it be the Grizz, Celtics or TWolves?! Find out tomorrow! |

Justice Winslow will probably be the should've been #1 overall pick when looking back at the draft in 5 years. |

If there is any organization more deserving of a top 3 pick, it is the Wiz. T-Mac really made them grab their ankles this off-season.
excited to see who got bounced between Walt, Ian, and Jeremiah!!!
I think Okafor should be the consensus number 1 in here and in the NBA. Sure, you may have to wait a bit for him to develop, but you're a rebuilding team for a reason. And, just look at GSW and Dwight. They are dominating one of, if not the, toughest ever sim league conferences. (My sim league experience is 2 years, but I imagine the conferences back then weren't like our Western Conference).
I could also see KAT, but I feel like with Okafor you get some resemblance of an offensive and defensive game, where as KAT HAS a defensive game, but could take a lot longer, if ever, to develop on the offensive end. Feel me?

I'm just happy I am at least a Top 4 pick still. I was ready for this whole thing to go down hill. Early this season I had the #1 pick in Orlando's, then it fell to #2 when the grizz went epic-tank-mode, and then ended up 3rd at the end. I was ready to drop to #6 so I'm glad I'll be top 4!

Yes, I thought Magic would finish the season with a better record especially after the trades that we made and the rating updates. Cavs would have finished below Orlando if it wasn't for the Green Brothers. But like I said before, some teams that were tanking did not make enough to surpass Magic. There are 2 examples that come to my mind right now. There was a time when we were planning to do a 3-ways with Cavs in which Hanamichi was willing to sacrifice a 2nd to make Magic better. Logically, I started looking for teams that would also benefit from our situation. One of the teams that I contacted was Knicks asking for Sanders and he said no. Like 1 month later, Sanders was placed in the injury list with Knicks getting nothing in return. At that time and for that month, I am sure Sanders could have been a decent starter for Orlando and Knicks would have improved their chances of tanking. Considering Sanders' mental illness, I think it is safe to assume that he had 0 value to every team but Magic and making us better was for his best interest. I also remember Hawks refusing to send us Ray Allen because he had a better suitor. Later on, he traded Allen for Sessions and 2 days later, he released Sessions. I was like WTF! I also had talks with Pelicans and we had a deal in place for Brandon Bass using Cavs' 2nd but he preferred to trade him to Bucks. In that case however, it was almost trade deadline and it was hard to believe that Pelicans could end up worse that us so they had no use in making us better. I see Magic ending up 28th as a big disappointment but like I said, I think other GMs should be disappointed as well. |

Yes, but you refused to accept the fact that Teague was 5 times as expensive as those 2.  There was no way, we would damage our future just to preserve our short-term dignity. |

I still have a very high chance of getting the #1-3 picks. The only thing that changes for me based on where I land is who I'm going to be receiving trade offers from.

Logically, expensive things are good. A Mercedes is more expensive than a Toyota and it is, in most cases, considered better than a Toyota. Therefore, if one player is 5 times expensive as 2 players, that one player is 2.5 times more expensive than one player. Thus, meaning that one player is 2 and a half times better than one player, and 5 times better than both players combined!!! Also, this isn't really me throwing shade at Gosling but the Magic didn't seem to care to win until you came along. I don't know what you said or what you did, but you definitely changed his thinking. |

The 4th pick in the 2015 D5 Draft will go to:  4. Boston Celtics - Which means I have been the only team in the Top 3, in two years running, to get shafted by the lottery and move out of the Top 3 both years. In fact if anyone ever accuses me of cheating, observe the fact that against the odds in 2014 I moved down from 1st and 2nd spots to 3rd and 4th and in 2015 I moved down from 2nd to 4th, and was the *only* team to experience this bad luck. On top of that I was involved in 3 tie-breakers this year and lost all of them (12.5% chance of that happening). FML! |

Having the most ruined team is horrible. ^^ The team you adopted was ruined, but you got to make it your own. You didn't pick up someones controller and play the 4th quarter with a 20 point lead, you know? Also, you want to see a team in ruins? Look at what Jeremiah inherited. And then consider he had his pick between like 4 other teams. And I quote "I want to play on All-Madden". The dude who had the Grizzlies last nearly intentionally destroyed a team. Not a very good team to begin with, but destroyed it none the less. The Wiz, before T-Mac came, was a solid rebuilding team. He then believed he had enough assets to flip to make a push, spoiler alert: he didn't. Then he bailed before FA, the most crucial time in a team building process and left you with a shit sammich. But you're doing a good job Kareem!! Hang in there, you'll get better. Especially with a top 2 pick now. |

It wasn't like you had a 87.5% chance of winning them all. Its like flipping a coin over and over. Sure, the more times you get heads in a row, the more likely you are to get tails. But it's still 50-50 each time. Statistics man, crazy thing. |
