Surprise! We recorded Ashes Mega-Pod Pt. II

[LeBronto]

It's been a long day after I went unprepared to see The Substance and left the theater badly needing to touch some grass, but Ashes hit me up late tonight and we decided to finish the job.

We broke down the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 drafts - pretty much every great player, bust, sleeper and weird stip.

Topics Include:

2001
-Tony Parker and who Ashes would have taken first
-Why were all of Jefferson/Richardson/Johnson kinda shitty?
-Mehmet Okur, the rise of stretch bigs, and why you shouldn't play your PF/C's on the wing
-Did you know? Jason and Jarron Collins actually got their stip

2002
-Yao is amazing
-Why Amare wasn't amazing
-The sleeper that never panned out (it's Kareem Rush, lol)
-This draft sucked ass

2003
-LeBron and the banana boat fellas
-A very abridged recounting of the Darko saga
-Boris Diaw is redeemed (maybe)
-Some guys who popped in one of the deeper drafts ever

2004
-Why Shaun Livingston probably should have gone first
-Jameer's amazing TCs
-I guess Delonte West could have been a starter
-A few legit sleepers that never hit!



Some interesting tidbits and amazing info from the Sim God as you would expect.

Some films that are 83 minutes long: The Little Mermaid, the animated Disney Robin Hood

Did Woo hit his pod limit on week 1 of the season? That’s impressive

I didn’t think about this but I might have lol

I propose the Woo Rule:
Jwoo and only Jwoo is allowed unlimited content per season.

Reasoning: he’s an RP billionaire who legit has more RP than is ever usable. Also to keep Jwoo sane.

I’m actually the poorest I’ve ever been right now after spending 6400 on camps!

The proposal I would suggest is instead of it being 5 articles and 5 pods it should just be 10 pieces of content total. It’s less restrictive and works to the same effect without disincentivizing people to produce

Delonte West was a Blazers draft pick - stop with the stolen valor

Jayant!! I’m the one who gave him Jarron Collins to complete the Collins bros stip. I then asked if anything triggered once they were paired and he said no and tried to use that against me in future trade negotiations

I thought ashes posted publicly that it wasn't triggered? that was my memory anyway

this one made me sad reminiscing about messing up Josh Smiths camps, preventing him from becoming AK-lite, and breaking up the Eddie Eddy combo. At least I camped Tony Allen right

fuck i loved Kareem Rush
