NBA ReDraft Chat Thread

My point was that I was going to take Brook Lopez with my 2nd pick, but you took him before I could, so I ended up settling for Rondo.

[Flynnatic10]

never mind then.

[yrtb]

wahhh Dirk was my next pick

 

I was hoping people would disregard him due to his age

 

I guess I'd rather have Iggy though

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

I picked James Harden. Probably a little bit of a reach, but he can hit the outside shot, which is what I need next to Tyreke and Al. Tyreke's also the primary ballhandler for my team (though not technically a point guard), so Harden plays beside him in the backcourt. He's a nice player, but his numbers in OKC might not be too great as long as he's competing with Durant and co. for shots and with Sefalosha for playing time.

[yrtb]

Interesting pick, I think it was a reach though, the fact that he has a time share is because he is not good enough on the defensive end of the floor, and he is a bit of a one dimensional player. I think you might have been able to get him in the 6th or 7th round personally

[italstallianion]

Yeah, since Flynnatic had 2 picks and then Jacoby picks again, I'd pretty much guarantee that Harden would have been available for Jacoby's next pick.

[Flynnatic10]

i know it was early for gordon but he has a huge upside.

I don't think so. I was going to draft those two same players if they happened to make it back to me.

[italstallianion]

I'm just glad that Flynnatic didn't pick who I was gunning for. (I'm not ripping on his picks, but I thought he was going to pick who I'm planning on taking)

now all i need is a SF.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Once again someone took the person I was going to get. I was aiming for Noah. I don't think my next pick is going to make it back to me. I really hope it does.

[italstallianion]

I thought about Noah, but he had a few strikes against him. (Being that he was from UF, ugly as hell, and a bit of a pansy, but that's associated with him being from UF.)

Noah will be pretty damn good soon, your loss

[yrtb]

Damn it ital, I was planning on taking Griffin, nice pick. I think he ends up ROY

[italstallianion]

Phew, that makes me feel better. I was thinking about taking him before Dirk, and I knew that neither would make it to my 5th pick. I guess I took them in the right order if I was somehow able to get them both. Granted, my 5th pick is going to be tough because it'll determine where I put Dirk and Blake.

[boston22407]

i wanted blake u bitch!

[italstallianion]

Not to mention the fact that Griffin's $5.3 million salary makes Dirk's $17.3 million a lot more tolerable.

[yrtb]

A common misconception some people have is that your first 5 picks have to be 5 starters. I often pick my 6 or 7 before picking my final starting guy.

[italstallianion]

True, it does depend on value (if Dirk was still available at round 5 and I had a PF) it would be wiser to take Dirk than to take the person who would have been my 5th starter. It depends on value per pick. I just wanted flexibility so I can determine my lineup after I have the players.

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

Picked Batum because a) he's just 21 and has plenty of room for improvement, he's a 40% three point shooter, which I need, c) he's a good defender, which I also need. For clarification my three wing players are Tyreke, Harden, and Batum, with Tyreke playing the D-Wade role.

[Jasonbay44]

I'm honestly not a big fan of Jennings game at this point in his career due to his low FG%, but I think in 3 years he has the potential to be a star. Plus, he's really cheap.

[YanksHater213]

So far, I realy like my team. I don;t have the stars, but I have a good squad, who would probably play well together as a team. The scorer, the do it all PG, the defensive center, etc.

 

Depending on who his next pick is, I think Kilo has the best team. If he makes the right pick next, his top 5 would be unreal.

[TheKilo]

Thanks dude. I had the feeling Wallace was taken and didn't see the chart until it was too late. There's so many directions I can go in with the next pick but I'm actually leaning towards my 6th man instead of the SG. Lots of talent still available.

[Jasonbay44]

I really like the Collison pick, I was debating between him and Jennings..

 

Anyway, what do you guys think of Nash pick? I know hes pretty old (36), but he has shown no signs of slowing down and I think in 3 years he could still be a productive player.

[WhiskeyBreath]

Thanks. After I made my last 2 picks I had Collison and Jennings as targets. Glad I got one.

 

I really like the Nash pick, especially because you coupled him with a young PG. Best passer and shooter in the league.

[TheKilo]

What's Nash's salary this season?

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

According to Hoopshype 10,310,938 not to bad.

[yrtb]

Nash was a solid pick, especially with the young developing PG in Jennings

 

I took another center, you can never have enough good big men, and Gasol is going to be a stud in 3 years (and better than his brother). His salary is under 4 million, which is huge for me since Yao makes almost 18 million this year

[TheKilo]

Let's not go nuts, now. You could make the case Gasol is the best big in the game right now, over Bosh et al
