I don't like Ben Wallace. If this were 2 years ago you would have been golden. I like Antonio Daniels but you took him a round too early and left a MUCH better PG on the board.

edit: I am a complete failure, and thought Barbosa was still on the board. LOL
 
Jason Kidd

Hedo Turkoglu/Andres Nocioni
Al Harrington
Tim Duncan

Turk, Noc and Jay are on the block.
 
Noc was a great pick, surprised he dropped as far as he did.

PM me dude...everyone is up for grabs :D
 
Hey guys I PMed ZAE and cpaw to help me edit the selections page to include the trades as I haven't perfected how to link it properly :(

Sorry, but it will be changed shortly.
 
My guys don't miss much:
Dampier 64.3%
Brewer 55.8%
Garnett 53.9%
Collison 50.2%
Iverson 45.8%
Howard 45.5%

I had Dampier in last year's GM Draft along with Iverson and Boozer.

I figure Brewer is a very good complement to Iverson in the backcourt. My team doesn't need a traditional PG, just someone who can get the ball across half court and into the hands of one of my three scorers. You can run a lot of offense through Garnett, who's a great passer. Iverson gets a whopping 7+ APG from the wing.

I figure with Iverson jacking up shots at will, the rest of my guys better be fairly efficient when they get their chances.
 
Misread your meaning. I thought you meant those guys would have to play zone on defense.

Naw, I was saying I think a zone defense could give them a lot of trouble. No real long range threats.

There's more than one way to defeat a zone. Shooting over it is one way, but good ball movement is another, and ability to penetrate and collapse the zone is another.

Considering my top 3 players are good for 20 FTA per game, I would say the ability to find seams in the zone is there. Garnett would be dangerous in the high or low post, while my other 2 bigs are going to force a zone to stay packed in the lane enough that Brewer, Iverson, and Howard aren't going to have to shoot 3's to shoot over it.
 
You're gonna need someone to shoot, regardless.

Dampier and Collison aren't going to force anything to stay packed.

If a zone defense was able to shut down Team USA, which is very talented, what do you think it would do to a lesser talented team? Ball movement only goes so far. If you penetrate and collapse the zone, what do you plan on doing? Driving into the heart of the zone? Drive and kick? Kick it to who? There's no consistent long range threat.

The FTA will most likely be down since Garnett and Iverson both can't dominate the ball in the half court at the same time.

then my thoughts are you have tons of unproven talent that could be dynamite in Mayo and Rose, someone who needs a leader in Smith and someone who does well with a pass first PG in Martin who seems to be slowly improving after a lot of injuries.

I think Rose can become a good distributor, but adding a veteran back up will be a priority and adding someone who doesn't have to be a star, but has credibility as a winner to the team to lead the youth.

If you're building for the future, you have 3 potential all-stars.. very niiice.
