I traded most of my assets to go all in on this draft (my original roster was in a rebuilding phase to begin with). I can't tell if it was a hilariously dumb move or not but I'm gonna have a blast seeing how it pans out.

Thoughts on my draft strategy or any particular thoughts on players drafted are more than welcome!
Wow! That has to be the youngest team in fantasy basketball history! What a great core of young guys! I think it will take 2 or 3 seasons to develop but when they do you are going to be a championship contender.
My personal favorites: Ja, Clarke, Herro, Claxton, Gafford.
If Dan had this team we would definitely have to call 911! LOL!

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING TO ME? DOESN'T ANYONE WANT TO WIN NOW???
Agreed. I think you should write an article on Net Present Value of dynastry draft stocks.
Given player value as a proxy for potential cashflows from future drafts over coming years, the current value should equal to the the sum of NPV of future season value. Long winded maths based story short - after about 3-4 years potential value is worthless. So folks should target the 0-4 year horizon over the 3-7 year horizon.
We can’t even convince Dan to join a dynasty league.
Haha, truthfully, I'm surprised more people don't go ALL IN to win now, lose for a year or two and then quit. Feels like human nature is being defied annually in Dynasty formats.
People who do that tend to kill leagues pretty quickly. I think we're also at a point where everybody worries about load management a lot more so young players are more appealing for H2H.
I definitely went super youth in both these leagues (I should be more competitive in my other two) but I'm all in on getting a high draft pick during these next two drafts and I think my team will be really solid, more so the second roster I posted than the first. Zion fell to me at 13, then I got MitchRob at 28 and went from there.
Dynasty Leagues are the best leagues of all because at the core of them are players that approach the challenge with pride, honor, and respect for the competition and gamesmanship for the long haul. I have been a Dynasty League since 1980!! My sophomore year in high school! My buddy and I started it and 39 years later we are still going strong! My first 3 picks (only 6 team league) were Moses Malone, Larry Bird and Dr.J!!
Coach, you sir, are an old man. Hahaha
Age is just mind over matter and if you don't mind it doesn't matter!
Hahaha, you're the best kind of weirdo.
How many championships have you won on your oldskool Dynasty league Coach? Did anyone manage a three-peat?
I have won it 10 times (the second most wins is 6) but denied 3 different times trying for a three-peat
My buddy and arch enemy won 3 in a row 95, 96, 97 (I refer to that time as my dark period)
