Who is beaubois? I've never heard that name before

 

 

That's because he doesn't play in Cleveland.

[Flynnatic10]

on another note, i think we should cut youkers time if we havent already.

[italstallianion]

That isn't my decision, but I agree with that. At this point, since he still has picks to makeup in this league and in the NFL league, I think that we should automatically skip him until he makes up his picks. Again, in this league that's ytrb's call.

[TheKilo]

Let me just say I love my team. I think my backups could win 40 games in the league.

In the NBA or in this league?

I think mine is pretty f***ing sweet too.

[italstallianion]

I think that my team should sue Adrian Peterson for the right to be called "All Day"

In the NBA

aside from the jeffries pick, i really like boston22407's team.

[YanksHater213]

I love Kilo's Reddick pick, but I personally don't really think it fits the 2nd unit that he's been crafting all that well.

[yrtb]

Oh, I've been skipping youker since he missed a pick, well in my head I have anyways, sorry for not making it clear

 

After we're done drafting, everyone can send me their power rankings and we'll have playoffs

[Flynnatic10]

an interesting thing is i dont have a TRUE PF on my team. Noah is only PF because Boozer is out.

[yrtb]

GITC, you want to trade me some cap? I'll give you a pick upgrade

 

You still have 25 million left and I can't imagine how you will use that much for your last 2 picks

[TheKilo]

I love Kilo's Reddick pick' date=' but I personally don't really think it fits the 2nd unit that he's been crafting all that well.[/quote']

 

I still have two picks and a decent amount of cap room. I've got a few more tricks up my sleeve.

 

Just think of Reddick/Morrow as 1a and 1b as my shooting guards. Morrow can shoulder the load but Reddick can come off the bench and spell him for 18-24 mins a game.

 

I love the way my frontcourt looks, Gasol/Horford/Ilgauskas can rotate between C and PF and then I've got guys like Carl Landry and David West who can give me versatility if I need to go a little smaller against other teams.

 

My PG duo should be the best in the league by the end of this year. Wall is a generational talent and Felton is a very underrated PG in this league...very durable and will lead my second unit.

[yrtb]

While Wall is an incredible talent, I still don't think he's earned having his name up with CP3 and D-Will. I would still take CP3/Holiday over Wall/Felton to be honest...

 

I like your PF/C rotation though

[TheKilo]

I agree, that's why I said by the end of this year. Felton will get more exposure playing with Amare in NY and Wall will only get better as the year goes on.

[italstallianion]

I agree with Ytrb, I'd rather have CP-Thrizzle and Holiday over Wall and Felton. Granted, the money part is another argument.

[yrtb]

Honestly, even with the cap implication I would take CP3 and Holiday over Wall and Felton

 

The only situation where I feel someone would have a better PG duo is if they Have D-Will and Nash with another budding star. I think that jbay44 challenges me at the point guard position, but then again Nash will be really old 3 years from now, so who knows. I think Holiday will be a top 15 PG for sure 3 years in the future also, and he'll probably only get 10 points a game anyways if he has CP3 on his team

[TheKilo]

Took Al Harrington with my last pick. Found it interesting a guy who can score like he does was available so late in the draft - but he helps round out my "scorers" quite nicely. A veteran presence to help my youngish team along doesn't hurt either.

[yrtb]

I think Harrington is a solid player and I good pick

 

I'm psyched about getting Scola this late. He's a greater scorer and rebounder, and someone who Favors can learn from.

I'm really surprised Scola was still available. I would have taken him a couple picks ago but I thought he was already gone.

 

Nice pick.

[yrtb]

Yeah, so was I, its weird that he has dominated so much this year even with Yao back. Draft is almost over now, then we can do power rankings

[italstallianion]

I knew he was available, I just didn't want to spend that much money, and I had enough PF's.

[Cocos Disciples]

If I've gone over the cap, can I take a player so bad that he would have to pay me to play?

[yrtb]

If I've gone over the cap' date=' can I take a player so bad that he would have to pay me to play?[/quote']

 

Honestly, the 12th player on a team gets so little playing time that he doesn't matter.

 

How much over the cap are you? You could try to work out a trade with another team to get you under

 

All team MUST be under the cap though before power rankings

[italstallianion]

I figured that you'd get DQ'ed if you go over cap (unless you find a trade partner and trade away someone to get under cap)

 

Either that or you guys can pay the remaining players the difference in salary. Or, we can kick you in the nuts to make it even.

 

Btw, who are you going to take Coco, Julio Lugo?

[yrtb]

JacobyEllsbury is about 40 million under the cap, and flynnatic is already done and has 20 million left, maybe contact one of them for a trade to get you under.

 

Worst case scenario is we choose somebody to kick off your team (it won't be one of your top 3 or 4 guys, but probably a pretty good player making a lot of money)

 

Another option is to pick Julio Lugo and make him your starting point guard, that would be fair

[TheKilo]

I love the power rankings idea, so I'm going to steal it for the NFL draft too.

[TheKilo]

Draft a young, fundamentally sound C to split time with Big Z as my backup center? A guy who I had on my radar 5+ rounds ago but was still available? A guy many feel could be a starting center in the league today if not for Dwight Howard?

 

Sign me up.

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

f***! That was my pick Kilo you totally screwed me up.
