    I think it's actually closer than the normal draft.
    in a normal draft, you have LeBron+smaller pieces vs. lets say Tony Parker/ZBO (i'm looking at last all-nba draft). In this draft, you would have essentially
    LeBron+smaller pieces+lets say David Robinson vs. Tony Parker+ZBO+Hakeem.
    So if anything, it becomes more fair.

    i think if we do all-time, we will have all-timers based on conferences too. If a guy played in both conferences, he belongs in the conferences where he was an All Star more times.

    To keep it simple, we'll use the current conference structure. For instance, the Pacers and the Bulls were in the Western conference at one point, but we'll assume they are East teams. And the Rockets were in the East once, but we'll assume they are West team.

    Really? You really think this conference thing is a good idea? Doesn't it seem unfair to not have everybody picking from the same pool of players edited especially when the west is considered stronger?

    what do you mean? that the West all-time is stronger? not really.

    If we do current players based on conferences, and all-time without conferences, then we clearly punish one of the conferences. One conference would get MJ, Magic, Hakeem, etc. And the other conference would be left with B-tier all timers. Not fair at all.
    If we do it that way, then I can tell you right now which conference will win. The one that picks first.

    I think people's main issue with the all time is someone getting lebron with their franchise player. Let's just say in this draft lebron only has one arm. Think that makes things fair.

    I personally prefer the current right now (though i won't mind the all-time idea either, i think it's a fun idea).

    But i think people are really mistaken LeBron and unfairness. Think about it. Teams are exactly the same, nothing changes, except non-LeBron teams get a Jordan or a Hakeem, and LeBron's team gets a lesser hall of famer.
    LeBron's advantage is reduced, not increased.
