I think it's worth mentioning that this year there were more candidates than I've ever had before, so here's some shoutouts: New Orleans Pelicans - Brian ScalabrineStarted planning for the Off Season early by trading away Collison to show committment to Brandon Knight. Made something of all those hundreds of picks he has by trading quantity for quality and acquiring Andrew Wiggins. Has a terrifyingly good young team with a core of Andre Drummond, Gordon Hayward, Andrew Wiggins, Brandon Knight. It was so tough not to include Brian, but I had to make a cut somewhere. Minnesota Timberwolves - Walt FrazierPicked up Jae Crowder for fluff. Has begun to solidify himself as a contender, even in the West, by pairing Blake Griffin with guys like Eric Bledsoe and co. Bad: traded away Norman Powell, heh Toronto Raptors - Bryan ColangeloNot sure what I did with all my links for Bryan, but he's obviously built a really great team. Brought Kyle Lowry back to Toronto a few years back - I think that was you Bryan? Pursued Al Horford to the ends of the Earth this year and signed Draymond Green back when he was semi-underrated.

Appreciated. I thought my drafting might have somewhat of an effect, and thought that Blake Griffin trade would push me higher. Oh well, just some wanker's opinion!

For real though, everyone here has done great. I think if you're in Ian's list here, the rest is splitting hairs sometimes and personal opinion /preference.

Glad to even be considered. I don't think my team is fully formed yet but I think we're on the right path to emulating the teams at the top here

Thanks Boss! I traded Ibaka in his prime but on a 1 year deal for Lowry, got DeMar back in free agency, tried any type of deal for Al Horford and somehow got green so dirt cheap lol. Hopefully I can make the next step!
