Firstly, 1 - you are using 2024 points value for the future pick, even though the points are worth significantly less - but you are using this as a guide for whats "fair" from a points value so you don't even know how to use the 2 indexes correctly.
Dude i was using the calculator as guide so don't stress over trivialities Strawman. I was quoting a poster if you'd been following the thread where he/she said we may need to give 6 and 10 for 2 which i disagreed on. It wasn't my ridiculous trade i was actually juicing it up on what he quoted. You seem to have a personal vendetta against me or suffer poorly in following discussions. Either way I'm glad I'm living rent free inside your Head. lol
Secondly - Everyone knows that the top picks in this draft are fairly even, so it comes down to pick preference (an intangible that you can't get from any points index). So as some of us have said before the "pick premium" if you want to use the index, will be much smaller than getting into the top 25 (which you called disgusting because again you only look at points instead of the intangible of the actual players available).
This is nonsense bc historically it's proven to be false so i don't believe you. People pretty well say this every year, yet a poster earlier put up how the early picks are rarely even. Again you missed that post.. Stick to the topic as the disgusting trade was a massive differential and the reality is we gave them equivalent to 20 and 24 for 20 in return. Stop the nonsense and stop dribbling rubbish everywhere . You need to follow the conversation and stick to what's being discussed. That trade has been done to death now and we lost out on it.
You need to cut the personal attacks out and debate amicably as this isn't a points scoring competition.
No personal vendetta, I just like to call out idiocy when I see it.
So on the 2nd point, you are saying its idiocy to say that players in the top 6 are fairly even, and then theres a group of players that are even after that, and essentially saying that there aren't clear standouts way above the others that you pay massive premiums for, despite the fact that every single draft commentator (who is employed by the industry) says exactly the same thing. If you compare our Brisbane trade with others that got into that next group (top 6, then next 20-25) then you'd see the "premium" paid was lineal and wasn't out of expectation of what others were paying for upgrades, but ignore everything else if it makes you feel better.
Sorry, we'd better ignore all those things like player ratings, player abilities and just cede to the overlords of the points index.
Note, that pretty much everyone on this thread thinks you are wrong, maybe look in the mirror and realise when you've got something wrong.
