Interesting, very interesting, and Blazers once more....

Something is wrong with my draft shit under GM actions, only last few pick options of 2nd round show up so ive sent you my guy for #1 pick to your inbox.

I am fully expecting to take as long to rebuild as the Kings  :bods:

Glad to see that the Nuggets pick did not make a quantum leap up the order (sorry Bulls).

jesus.  calm down.  it'll be fixed today :)

And can I just say:
fuck

LOL. Im calm, just letting you know, i sent my pick trough PM anyway so it doesnt matter.

No, it does matter.  Don't send picks through PM.  Keep them all in one place so there's no possibility there's a mistake.

draft lists have been re-set and now start at 0.  Please place in your lists there, do not PM them.

You can also now view this current years draftees true potential.

Unbelievable.  In a 3 stud draft I land the 4th pick.  Worst of all, the 4th best player looks like an exact clone of my lottery pick from last year.

Do I reach, go for BPA, or trade the pick?  Hm...

wow... im loving my 3rd pick... with hakeem, jordan and barkley...you would never go wrong... :) 

Hopefully Hakeem doesnt turn Sam Bowie for Portland.


Anyway, this connection is so slow i dont have patience to answer all PMs, so ill just respond to everyone here, thank you for your interest but i wont be trading my pick this time.

so your taking hakeem? so its jordan or barkley for me :) still awesome :)

Business secret :p

What else could i do :p

Trailblazers Draft C Hakeem Olajuwon
Lakers Draft C Sam Bowie (CPU)
Heat Draft SG Michael Jordan
Pistons Draft PF Charles Barkley
Hornets Draft PG John Stockton (CPU)

Well, if I were to guess, I'd think that Derek has a new best-friend.

Lots of good an solid picks. hornets had some real luck. cpu drafted a good pg at 5 for them. that is possible bpa and greatest need  :bash:

Sam Bowie at #2... yikes!

Good for me though! Thorpe and Fleming are still on the board so either way I fill a need at #7  :cheers:

Is Alvin Robertson the All-star who played for the Spurs and had two career quadruple-double?

Sam Bowie!  Sam Bowie!  Oh happy day!  Does FBB know about bball history?  How ironic that the top 3 played out EXACTLY like in real life.  Sam Bowie over Michael Jordan.  The Lakers will probably be regretting that one in SSBA about as long as the Blazers did in real life.  But, the Lakers have Clark Kellogg and Paul Pressey, so who needs Michael.

I was furious when the draft order came out.  I almost traded the pick out of frustration.  I then resigned myself to to taking Stockton, and letting him and Demler fight it out in TC.

Now I've got Sir Charles.

I mean, who knows if a 6'5" PF can work in this league, but hot damn.  I'm giddy like a school girl.

I think the Hornets might have lucked out the most.  I was going to take Stockton 4th.  But Stockton's the exact perfect fit on that team.  A potential superstar AND the position of most need.  While I got the talent I needed, I'm still a long way's away.  Hornets might have been that one piece away.  It'll be nice having the rivalry with them revived, even though they'll probably pound me into oblivion for a good few years.

that's bullshit, getting MJ at #3. Honestly, how can the cpu screw the Lakers that bad. He would have been PERFECT for a new GM to get a headstart, maybe build around him or trade him for lots of assets.

Now the Lakers are going nowhere fast, and finding a GM for the keeps for them will be a tough assignment

Yeah, I honestly don't know.  'Jay' posted in the GM waiting list last week.  I've sent him two e-mails since then, and he hasn't gotten back to me.  I would have preferred for the GM who's going to be taking over the Lakers to have the opportunity to make the draft pick, but I wanted to give Jay a chance at the team since he expressed interest.

People really got lucky.

lol bods and i were in trade discussions for the 4th pick and after he decided to keep the pick we both said the comp will prolly screw up and he will get one of the big 3.

Tell me about it.

hahaha sam bowie over mj? history repeats itself... :D welcome to miami your airness

Ok.. You can now post the part two. Michael Jordan for Larry Nance. I checked it and it works capwise.

The most ironic part may not happen for a year or two...when Bowie developes into an SSBA all-star and Jordan becomes just another SG.

Ok.. if thats the case.. Then Part Three of the deal shall unfold.. Hahaa

oh fuck. I really screwed up. I didn't realize that the draft was starting. My cousin is visiting me and I really couldn't get on the net yesterday. The computer really saved my ass.

wow, I really lucked out (just checked his pot.)

Yeah.  When I thought I was going to end up with him at 4, I bought his pot too.  He'll be great.

I'm totally disgusted and pissed off.

and I'm ashamed (but not ashamed enough to trade him or anything  :tup:)

This isn't sounding good for the east at all. I had better make even more of a push now, because in about two seasons, the Hornets are easily gonna be what we all fear  :bods:

yes

I am fearing the Hornets also, they are going to be amazing in the near future.

I have to say that I'm surprised at how well rebuilding has gone for me. I've only relied on two of my own picks for the rebuilding effort, which is nice to be able to say since I have quite a bit of talent besides the guys I took with those picks. Obviously being very lucky had a lot to do with my success too.

LOL at the sig.

which avatar ?

he meant my sig memorializing his joy at the CPU's idiocy  :)

picks 5-10 are done.

Bulls Draft PF Kevin Willis with pick #6 of round 1.
Rockets Draft PF Otis Thorpe with pick #7 of round 1.
76ers Draft PF Sam Perkins with pick #8 of round 1.
Suns Draft SF Jerome Kersey with pick #9 of round 1.
Timberwolves Draft SG Vern Fleming with pick #10 of round 1.

next up 11-20.

I really like the Bulls front line, big and Corzine and Willis should compliment each other nicely.

picks 11-20 are done.

Bulls Draft C Tim Mccormick with pick #11 of round 1.
Hornets Draft C Johnny Newcomb with pick #12 of round 1.
Knicks Draft SG Alvin Robertson with pick #13 of round 1.
Clippers Draft C Isaac Cann with pick #14 of round 1. (CPU)
Suns Draft C Terrell Wu with pick #15 of round 1.
Nuggets Draft C Edward Borgmann with pick #16 of round 1.
Heat Draft PG Tristan Benoit with pick #17 of round 1.
Grizzlies Draft C Mel Turpin with pick #18 of round 1.
Hawks Draft SF Brent Bibby with pick #19 of round 1.
Bucks Draft SF David Chamberlain with pick #20 of round 1.

next picks 21-29.

damn :(

i hear that

Pretty happy with Newcomb. He doesn't fit a position of need really, but after Robertson, I felt that he was the most ready to contribute out of anyone left in the draft. I checked his potential and it's pretty good. I don't see him developing into a superstar or anything, but it looks like he could be a solid rotation player, if not develop into more if I get lucky.

I'm pretty happy with Otis Thorpe.

He is ready to come in str8 away and contribute. Although his potential could be dissapointing he has A- inside scoring. Even with C potential that is unlikely to drop below B+ in TC. I think even with bad potential he could be useful for a few years!

My frontcourt stunk last year. Hopefully Corzine/Willis with McCormick backing them up will be less stinky.

I was hoping to get one of Wu, Borgman, Newcomb or McCormick, as I think they're all fair prospects, and I REALLY needed a C.  Wu looks like, if his potential is true (and this one I didn't scout), he could be a good defender while being capable offensively.  He'll likely never be a rebounding force, but with Chuck, Kersey and Blackman all being + rebounders at their position, that was the last of my concerns.

Figured it would be too tough to get one of the Cs that went ahead, but happy with Borgmann. Gives me legit size at the C position, something I have lacked.

tell me.

the biggest guy on my roster currently is my SG. will be a hard season ahead ...

nice cpu pick again

Um...knicks did submit a draft sheet (I just checked.  Luckily, it was the guy who the CPU selected anyway, heh)

sorry my bad. wrong line. cpu pick was clippers not knicks.

 :lol2:

your SG is 6´11. you are returning 4 of your 5 starters and almost all of your key backups. only pavel left who is easy to replace with the mle.
start complaining if you have real problems.  :moon:

Jazz Draft C Michael Cage with pick #21 of round 1.
Magic Draft PF Bill Daly with pick #22 of round 1.
Lakers Draft PG Jay Humphries with pick #23 of round 1. (CPU)
Nuggets Draft SG Chris Avery with pick #24 of round 1.
Raptors Draft SF Chase Cheaney with pick #25 of round 1. (CPU)
Celtics Draft C Evan Hunt with pick #26 of round 1.
Mavericks Draft PF Morgan Harvey with pick #27 of round 1.
Warriors Draft C Isaiah Delk with pick #28 of round 1.
Heat Draft SF Dylan Santiago with pick #29 of round 1.

i love my 29th pick...Dylan Santiago 6'10" SF with average ratings...he has D pot though..but i guess his age can make up for it... he's only 18... question....can players in FBB grow an inch or two? :D

well, too bad Cage went earlier, but since he was the only big name big man left on the board that came expected
:-(

Have to settle for a C project called Hunt (considered Morgan Harvey too, but that D handling scared me over the little better offense, and all the other bigger C's have even less potential), not that anyone picked that late will see minutes anyway. Man, the draft sucks down here ...

I was real happy to pick up Cage with my pick. I liked his potential and I think it was a nice addition as 3rd big guy back who can play both forward and center. Glad I was able to pick him up this low considering I was the League-runner up

you scout potential for picks in the 20ies?
cool ...

man, i rather keep my cash for buying and extending useless 2nd rounders and hope some pan out.

he uses all his money on every guy in the draft...

got my first choice at 24, I like that - hope his POT is decent

now my favorite part of the draft.  The mad swap/sell of 2nd round picks.

where tom dances chacha...

Got a mountain of a man in Isaiah Delk (7'4", 280 lbs).
Here is to hoping his potential is wrong   :cheers:

Thank you for the new signature.

Well, with the 1st one, you are the leader :)

Always a pleasure... lol

Tom you just passed a guy with 100 pot. :bods:

arghhhhhhhh.

On the other side, i rather try my luck and hope one of the "B" pots in my list is true than hoping to find that one A among 30 true D's.


To say it in Ivan's words: all guys picked past #20 won't play a COMBINED 1000 minutes next season on decent teams ...

And ...
C'MON YODA, LET THE SPIRIT BE WITH YOU !

 :rrofl:

tom dances very well  :cheers:

sec

Pistons Draft PG Edgar Artest with pick #1 of round 2.
Lakers Draft C Adrian Turkoglu with pick #2 of round 2. (cpu)
Trailblazers Draft SG Ivan Colliton with pick #3 of round 2. (cpu)
Celtics Draft SF Tony Campbell with pick #4 of round 2.
Bulls Draft PG Renato Gaines with pick #5 of round 2.
Supersonics Draft SF Edgar Hinkle with pick #6 of round 2.
Wizards Draft SG Rick Carlisle with pick #7 of round 2. (cpu)
Rockets Draft C Aaron Smith with pick #8 of round 2.
Raptors Draft PG Corey Hiscock with pick #9 of round 2. (cpu)
Nuggets Draft SF Dustin LaFrentz with pick #10 of round 2.

pistons also almost had a cpu but i found a list for pick number 34 that i used for their own pick  :lol:

Er... he put it at 34 because he made an offer to my pick via PM. I didn't see it until just now.  :bash:

damn, ive said SEC,  i entered my list 11 minutes before you posted picks but well its ok, i had that guy as nr.5 on list anyway so its fine.

glad i got my #1 target, Campbell. He was a 20+ppg scorer in the NBA and if his offensive qualities carry over (combined with already B defense) he could be a nice backup one day.

Actually I thought about grabbing a PG too, but the available guys were hardly impact guys anytime soon and PGs you can easily get in FA (just look at Trump for min or the SSBA finals MVP for little more)

my 2nd can go for free, just post it i agree

Was really hoping to land either Colliton or Hiscock with that pick, but I figured it to be a very long shot they would both be skipped for 9 picks. Hopefully Lafrentz has some potential because he has a lot of C+ attributes.

Hiscock? That's a real name? You've got to be shitting me...

 :lmao:

I got to have this guy.... :rrofl:

Sound like Carry Hiscock. :lmao:

This has to be bods' new sig!

done and done

 :lol:

im pretty sure that guy will be steal of this draft. I wanted him but i was late few mins with sending my list.

Timberwolves Draft PF Vincent Roosma with pick #11 of round 2. (CPU)
Clippers Draft PF Dylan Del Negro with pick #12 of round 2. (CPU)
Kings Draft PG Dylan Kim with pick #13 of round 2. (CPU)
Spurs Draft SF Brent Mutombo with pick #14 of round 2.
Spurs Draft SG Mateen Terpening with pick #15 of round 2.
Knicks Draft SF Jeffrey Johnston with pick #16 of round 2. (CPU)
Heat Draft PG Pedro Fleisher with pick #17 of round 2.
Grizzlies Draft PG Nigel Reid with pick #18 of round 2. (CPU)
Hawks Draft PG Devin Durrant with pick #19 of round 2.
Bucks Draft SG Kris Friedman with pick #20 of round 2.

Devin Durrant?  :lmao:

He was a real player

and borderline related to (how he calls him) "Grandnephew Kevin" (who ironically will only be born in 4.5 years from now).
In reality those two are not relatives of course (the missing "R" alone tells you so much), so their closest relation is that Kevin's granny and Devin's ma both know the same pope ...

Jazz Draft SG Dan Howard with pick #21 of round 2.
Heat Draft PF Wyatt Nystrom with pick #22 of round 2.
Cavs Draft PF Carlos Lucas with pick #23 of round 2. (CPU)
Supersonics Draft C Cameron Morgenweck with pick #24 of round 2.
Celtics Draft PF Paul Bender with pick #25 of round 2. (CPU)
Spurs Draft SF Jeremy Radejevic with pick #26 of round 2.
Pacers Draft SG Brent Lopez with pick #27 of round 2.
Mavericks Draft PG Hector Declercq with pick #28 of round 2.
Warriors Draft SG Bryce Ripken with pick #29 of round 2.

Draft is done. Great to see that even so late we had only 2 CPU picks.

i just took the heaviest A potential player available...he wont be a star or a role player... but i find him cute  :lmao:

hmm... he reminds me of you... LOL

well, since i intended to cut this pick right away, there was little use sending a list

now let's move onto FA
