I thought people overpaid last year, but this year was crazy. To put in perspective, last year I got Derrick Rose for $31, who ended up winning the MVP(and was already an all-star prior). This year, Kyrie Irving goes for $30.

Yeah, I PLANNED to wait and save money for my targets, but didn't want to get to the point where I was stuck with a lot of money and a bunch of mediocre players avlb

That's always my plan. I usually get a couple star players for around $40, then spend $25 or less on everyone else. But with how many teams we have and the fact that there was less talent available due to the keeper aspect, it was a lot harder to wait. I started looking at who was left and it was pretty grim. So I ended up paying a lot more for guys like Nene and Iggy then I otherwise would've.
I still like the overall talent of my roster. Have to look a little further to see how they fit together stats wise. PG definitely thinned out quick though. Hopefully Jack breaks out as the starter this year.

After scanning through everyone's rosters, I don't feel nearly as bad as I did. WTF were some of you guys thinking or were you guys purposely trying to hand me the championship
Ty went for 40+. I think McGee was in the 20s or so.
That is pretty fair for both, but damn I can only blame myself.
I kept trying to figure out how to make it bypass me after all of my money was spent, but couldn't figure it out. I had to start hitting pass every time, so to those of you that were forced to wait, wait, and wait some more because I wasn't there until the end, I apologize.
It still sucks that it made me spend 126 on Lebroni when he was on my team and on it for 76 bucks
edit: 35 is a bit for him, but he has double double potential and he does get a lot of blocks. I would have had him for a dollar.
I have no front court at all really, but I do have some decent guards, no real assist guy though, which sucks. Basically, I am toast, but I will play the waiver wire and do what I can. What really sucks is that there are hardly any pf's worth snagging on the waiver wire and I don't really have one that has double double potential.

It is. But everyone goes to waivers after the draft for a day, so everyone gets a fair shot. All those will be processed Saturday morning and then everyone left becomes a free agent. You'll have time to make moves before the season starts on Sunday.
