I believe so. I just PMed ghoti, but he should have picked between 4:40 and 10:40. </p>

 

[zєяσ]

I loved it how i was not pmed when it was my turn. Oh well, at least I got the player i wanted anyways.</p>

</p>

</p>

So how does my team look so far? </p>

 

[GrandKenyon6]

Stuckey is a good complement to Hinrich and Howard IMO.

 

[zєяσ]

Thabo huh? BG7 is going to be pming you offers soon....

Kobe is going to HATE playing my team, with Simmons, Battier and Thabo all bodying him up. Too bad he's on a lottery team...</p>

Still listening to offers for Rondo. There's a player I'm targeting, so as long as that player available, I'm willing to trade Rondo for relatively cheap.</p>

 

[Petey]

Kobe has requested a trade to the Grizzles.</p>

-Petey</p>

 

[zєяσ]

Nah. To the Knicks silly.

</p> you kiddin me? he wants to play alongside his favorite player, etan thomas.

 

[GrandKenyon6]

I was hoping for one of Cassell, Oberto, or Carroll to fall to me, but Stuckey is the kind of scoring combo guard that complements the rest of my players and fits my team well.

 

[Денг Гордон]

Did someone really take Thabo this early? Wow. </p>

You might want to move him to small forward too, because he won't be able to do much as a shooting guard.</p>

 

[pegs]

I'm very surprised Bonzi dropped this far. he could start on some teams in the nba.

 

[ly_yng]

Bonzi's a nutjob.</p>

Boobie!</p>

Did you guys PM jfizzle? I'm trying to get a deal done with him...</p>

 

[GrandKenyon6]

I'm not surprised Bonzi dropped. He's talented sure, but he's a complete wacko. It's more likely that he never plays than contributes anything.

 

[Dark Defender]

Yeah, I PM'ed him after I made my pick.

 

[pegs]

yeah, but everyone's seen how well he did with rick adelman. who knows, maybe that magic will happen again.</p>

although, it is very, very possible it was a contract year-type performance that season.</p>

And...i think Bonzi unfairly gets a bad rep at times. So what if he couldn't coexist with JVG as a coach? not too many players can.</p>

 

[Денг Гордон]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (L)</div><div class='quotemain'>Thabo huh? BG7 is going to be pming you offers soon....</div></p>

I like Gordon, Nocioni, Tyrus (hated him originally, wanted Aldridge), Deng, Gray and Noah.</p>

Mixed feelings about Duhon/Hinrich/Smith.</p>

Not a big fan at all of Wallace, Curry, and Thabo.</p>

</p>

 

[Arrpy]

Where's JfizzleRaider too? I wanna make my pick lol

 

[ghoti]

I took Lowry for two reasons.</p>

1. I love him and I want him on my team.</p>

2. He's too small to start in the NBA, but I can't think of a better guy to back up Chris Paul for the next decade. </p>

 

[Денг Гордон]

Ghoti, you jerk....I mean....Lowry isn't a good pick, you should probably just trade him for a 10th rounder.

 

[ghoti]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (peg182)</div><div class='quotemain'>I'm very surprised Bonzi dropped this far. he could start on some teams in the nba.</div></p>

Basketball players are people.</p>

I wouldn't take Bonzi if the draft were 25 rounds.</p>

</p>

 

[ly_yng]

sonofab**** again.</p>

I was about to trade Rondo for Lowry.</p>

Ah well, Rondo's not THAT bad...</p>

Why didn't you just take Lowry?</p>

Did you forget about him?</p>

</p>

Just now? Well, I was hoping to do a Rondo-Cassell tag team at PG, with Barbosa coming off the bench for like 30 mpg, but then Cassell got taken. Then I figured that Lowry was a better pure point guard than Rondo, but having Leandro, Rondo and Lowry in one backcourt was too crowded, and there wouldn't be enough minutes to go around. So that's why I wanted to do a swap, because I think Rondo and Lowry are about equal prospects at PG, but I didn't want them getting in each other's way (like Conley and Lowry are going to). </p>

Now I'm not sure what I'm going to do.</p>

 

[Arrpy]

How much time does JfizzleRaider have left?

 

[GMJ]

I actually just talked to kobe and he said (I quote): "I bleed blue and gold"

 

[lukewarmplay]

Lowry is awesome- that's two great picks in a row, Ghoti.
