Harlan Hott here. Monika's Neeks in Five paid at least seven dollars for every player. A whole roster. What a vulgar display of planning.

Dwayne paid thirty-nine for Austin Reaves. Embiid, Clingan and Rollins cost eleven each. Reaves cost more than the whole trio. Boss Tags? The tags were certainly bossing somebody around.

Port Hoops put one hundred eighty into six players and got Vucevic for two. The last veteran slept beside the checkout gum.

Antonis paid one hundred thirty-one for Maxey, Amen and Haliburton. Paul George, Porzingis and Poeltl cost six combined. Deluxe entree. Free bread basket.

Nicholas spent one hundred fifteen on Trae, Sengun and Booker. Apparently hitting the bid button three times counts as diversification.

Kevin bought Wembanyama for seventy-five and Myles Turner for one. Tune Squad left ten unused. Please spend the merch budget before leaving the venue.

Keep the receipt. I intend to be unbearable.

An audio adaptation of the October 11 draft Gazette. One AI host performs the five fictional writer styles. Draft figures, the first waiver pickup and the dated preseason estimates use the written edition's checked sources. Keeper examples assume the same $200 budget and thirteen slots next year. Roasts are opinion.
