So, what do we all think of the Leandro Barbosa pick? I can't wait to laugh in glee as Al Jefferson attempts to keep up with the fast break.</p>

Yeah, but he's a good shooter so he can take advantage of double teams in the halfcourt.

You definitely need some more mobile players now, though.

Barbosa seemed perfect for my team, though. I was worried that a team based around Jefferson and Oden would be too slow, so Barbosa seemed to be the perfect way to turn that around. Plus, like you said, he's a deadeye shooter that'll make teams pay if they double off of him. </p>

Oden's in terrible shape. He will be gasping for air after three minutes if you try to run.</p>

Yea, it was funny when he could only play 15 mpg @ Ohio State last year.</p>

</p>

Haha. You aren't going to use Oden that way. </p>

He's going to play down low in the post!</p>

He's young and spry, so he shouldn't be lagging, but his value isn't in the running game (obviously).</p>

Remember, Shaq was an awesome ballhandler as a kid. He ran the court and led the break like a guard.</p>

Whats being atheltic have to do with his horrid conditioning? </p>
 
Oden also has a bad problem with fouls.</p>

In summer league he fouled out with 10 fouls!</p>

He really has to improve on that.</p>
 
Why was my trade disallowed? Just because I'm more active in trades than some doesn't mean I should be penalized for it. Everyone else is free to make trades too.
 
Barbosa is a great third guard. I wouldn't trust him to be my starter, though. Obviously, with my team, I targetted him in the fourth round, but I figured he wouldn't last until then.</p>

He doesn't really fit your team, but I guess he's a good value pick if you can spin him into a more traditional point. </p>

It was a ridiculous trade and makes a mockery out of the entire process.</p>

If you have any further questions about it, take it to PM</p>
