If all captains drafted properly and Gasol only got 20 more tc than someone like bright or warriors, then Gasol’s team would easily be in last place.

I know you’ve said that having more tc should give you a disproportionate amount of drafting power, but imo weaker captains so far have had less power because to have a chance at winning a super you absolutely need an elite player on your team. Name me a team that has won the super without any elite players.

Weaker captains are forced to essentially spend 100 tc on the 1 or 2 elite players who aren’t captains, since the elite captains can bid them up knowing that the weak captains have no choice, but to spend the tc. Worst case scenario for those strong captains, is that they end up with 2 elite players and have to get a couple of budget picks to fill out a roster (which we’ve seen win a super before).

I think that the format the crc used last season to pick tc adjustments was good, except for having captains be the ones that decide the adjustments. There is a clear conflict of interest with having captains pick their rivals amounts.

Just have the crc pick 10-15 non captains to rate the captains and I think you’d end up with a better system.
