The rookies are a disappointment.  I did not check the potential on anybody except Pressley and he did not live up to what I thought.  I am excited to go through the growing pains of this young team.  With the poor training camp, a few veterans, Zach Profit, have a shot at a starting job.  I was going to go with an all-rookie lineup, but that no longer is in my best interest.

I do not see a whole lot I like.  Sorry

Buehler is older than I would like.

thanks

I am willing to trade Laporte with the acquistion of Clark Kellogg.  Laporte will not be given away but offers will be entertained.  I will also seek out some trades involving Laporte. If I do not contact you and you are interested, contact me.  I am looking for a good small forward in return.

Lakers Trade:
100 GM points

Hawks Trade:
Danny Schayes

I agree

I got my number one player at 20.  Thor Gross may have no offensive game but he can play defense and handle the ball.  With his height he can play three positions for me.

I would like to package these to move up a little further.  I want to get to 15 or under.  So if one of you 5 teams are interested, just give me a message.

Happy to get Worthy.  I really didn't want to go with a PG in this draft, but they were obviously the BPA's, so I bought the  potential of a few non-pg's to see if any of them were worth it.  I don't expect James to be a stud, but I do think he'll develop into a solid starter.

That being said, I was hoping one of Pressley/Kellog would fall.

So the old boss likes my first two picks?   Phillips was really a guy I am hoping can be a good defensive role player on the wing.  I did not need a PG and Cunningham was somebody I wanted but I think small forward was a bigger concern for me than center.  I might have been able to make a move and trade up from 20 and 21 to get Phillips and take Cunningham now, but I am happy with my draft so far.

It's already well documented that i've traded only Clark Kellogg for Tom Chambers. And i would do that 66 times again and again. I need size.

Actually the picks I got in your deal did help me get the pick that got me Paul Pressey.  He is a very good guard along with a good back-up power forward who could start on most teams in the league is not too bad for Chambers.  He might be good one day but right now he is not great.

I am thrilled to get Pressey and Kellogg.  I feel that Pressey and Kellogg are the second and third best players in this draft but beause of need Kellogg was 5th on my list.  Pressey will fill my large void at the SG spot.  I am very excited.

Lakers agree.  I am trying to surround Don with as much talent as I can.  With the 4,5,8 picks I should get 3 very solid young guys.

I am happy with my picks, I would have wanted a little more lotto luck and landed Cummings, please don't fine me like MJ got fined for his comments on Durant.  All this talk about my chances for getting a better tahn 10/6 player with the 5th pick, well Chambers was top 5.  I just hope to get any position other than PF, althougth I will go with BPA, which will probably be a PF.
