How the order works

  1. Picks 1–6 go to the six teams currently outside the playoff places, ordered by Max PF (MPF): the lowest possible-points total picks first. Max PF is the best lineup each team could have started every week.
  2. Picks 7–12 go to the playoff teams. Final order is decided by the playoffs: the champion picks 12th, runner-up 11th, third 10th, and so on. Until then they're shown by projected seed, with the 6th seed at 7 and the top seed at 12.
  3. Playoff places use the league format: top 5 records, then the highest points-for among the rest.
  4. Gold cells are traded picks; the avatar shows the manager who now owns it, and the lime line marks where the playoff teams start.
