GK6 is like the Rod Thorn of this GM Draft, making lopsided trade after lopsided trade.</p>

is that all you do is try to get people to do incredibly stupid trades? because that'd actually be a great strategy. </p>

Thoughts on Brad Miller?</p>

I'm willing to listen to offers on TJ Ford. </p>
 
I think Miller fits your team well and is solid at this point, if he can stay healthy and out of a wheelchair.</p>

He was the top C on my list, but I was hoping he would fall to the end of the next round. Nice pick.</p>

</p>

You WOULD say that.</p>

</p>

Luckily you're a basketball dunce.</p>
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GrandKenyon6)</div><div class='quotemain'>Jameer Nelson was a terrible selection.</div></p>

Yeah you basketball dunce! Obviously a team designed with chuckers that won't pass the ball to Yao is a good team. Learn that!</p>

</p>
 
Jameer Nelson is the worst player in the NBA at making a post entry feed. He's a decent shooter though. With Delonte already on board it makes the selection somewhat acceptable, but there were way better players available.
 
That just means there is a better chance of someone slipping into round 10

</p>

Don't worry about my team, worry about yours.</p>

Pairing Jameer & Delonte is awesome.</p>

Delonte & Jameer can both play either guard position. Both know how to play with each and how to win (I mean, they did alright at college, if I remember, right?). Delonte can handle the PG role in the halfcourt to feed the post, and Jameer can even be a SG in the offense, getting plenty of looks off of kick outs. Same goes with Delonte. Instead of having 1 guy capable of averaging 8 assists, both of my guard can spread the floor by hitting outside shots, both can handle the rock, and both are capable of at least 5 assists per game. </p>

</p>

It actually makes me feel better about my pick when someone like BG7 doesn't like it.</p>

Trade to announce</p>

Confirmed over AIM</p>

Utah trades Jameer Nelson and Pick #312 to the Lakers for #117 & #135</p>
 
In seeing how the draft is going, if Celtics King still wants to agree to the deal with GK6, I'll let it go otherwise, I'll approve the trade with giantsfan if he accepts it via post or pm
 
For the record I was drawing a distinction between people fishing for lopsided trades that favor themselves and people that offer up lopsided trades that favor the other party as well as a distinction between trades of just picks and trades for players.
 
Damn. i was hoping that either C.Bell or Mobley would have dropped to me with the way draft has been going.
 
There is a player on the board I was considering taking with my second round pick.</p>

I've got three guys in mind for my next pick, so I'm praying one is still available, cause I got a round+ to go.</p>
 
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (GMJigga)</div><div class='quotemain'>Thoughts on Foye?</div></p>

</p>

Foye will be pretty good, but that just seems like too much youth to put around Kobe if you want to win a title.</p>

</p>
 
The way I see it, the youth I've put around Kobe is established talent (The rookie, Yi, has not played yet, but his skill set is known), and not potential guys like Sean Williams, Saer Scene, Cedric Simmons, et al. The veteran post player is also a ring holder. I like the way it shapes up.

Rasheed Wallace ~= Lamar Odom</p>

The rest of your team is way, way young, just like the real Lakers. So there's no reason to believe Kobe wouldn't demand a trade from your team. Seriously, it's eerily similar to the real Lakers. </p>

He should demand a trade to the S2 GM Draft's Grizzles!</p>

"False analogy. Argument by anaology is often of the weakest strategies and is highly vulnerable to attack. A false analogy entails erroneously suggesting that two people, situations, or issues are analogoues or comparable in certain ways...In order for an analogy to work, it must match up in all significant areas with whatever it is being compared to; otherwise, it produces a kind of false coherence that is at best lazy thinking and at worst downright misleading"</p>

</p>

So you're saying my group of young talent is the same as what the lakers have? Saying all young players are alike is what the above paragraph mentions: lazy thinking. Look at the actual players you're trying to analyze instead of making broad generalizations. </p>
