Yeah that

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I wish BasX would have picked a player, this sucks.

I think he's an excellent player.

I'm comparing him to -say - Kevin Durant, and I think he doesn't come out so well.
</div>

Why not? One has spectacular defense with pretty good (and largely untapped) offense, and the other has spectacular offense with apparently decent (and improving) defense.
</div>

I think we've seen the ceiling for Prince. Let's be realistic about the difference between these players.

Prince doesn't have anywhere near the skills or the potential of Durant. Not even close. These are not comparable players. Would you trade Durant for Prince? C'mon.
</div>

Hmm- I realize I'm in the (tiny, tiny) minority here, but I've always thought Prince has terrific offensive potential. I've always wanted the Pistons to feature him more- I may be remembering this wrong, but when Rip was out early last year, he exploded, then Rip came back and he found his once-again subdued place in the offense. I can't really compare them fairly, though, since I've seen Durant far far less (if at all?) And I didn't realize he was 28- I also thought he was about 25.

 

[ace]

I also aways thought Prince was younger. I thought he was 25.

 

[#1_War_Poet_ForLife]

Dammit, I had a trade in place with Bassy.

 

[lukewarmplay]

So who gets Basx's team?

 

[jtballa2o1]

Is anyone interested in Redd for a upcoming pick or something??

 

[J_Ray]

Yeah guys, so I'm going camping and won't be home until Sunday night, how big of a list should I send to an admin?

Before you leave, count how many picks there are until your 4th rounder.

Make your list that long and include one or two extra just in case.

 

[GrandKenyon6]

Yawn.

 

[cpawfan]

I'll take BasX's team

Good. Pick.

That was a lame-o move, but at least you aren't saddled with a player you don't want.

 

[cpawfan]

I'm now taking offers for KG

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (cpawfan @ Jul 31 2008, 02:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm now taking offers for KG</div>

I'll give you Nick Van Exel, Kenny Satterfield and my 13th round pick.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Went with Ray Allen, figured a good shooter would fill nicely with Duncan

You have a win now team, and Allen has proven he can win now.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (cpawfan @ Jul 31 2008, 02:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>I'm now taking offers for KG</div>

I'll give you Al Jefferson, Theo Ratliff, Ryan Gomes, Gerald Green and Bassy Telfair.

And a pick.

 

[pegs]

I'm looking to trade picks, cause I'm bored.

 

[cpawfan]

Since I'm stuck with KG, I figured I'd pair another crazy dude with him.

Toronto Barneys
C:
PF: KG
SF: Artest
SG:
PG:

I bet Rod Thorn used to play fantasy baseball, but got kicked out of all his leagues for being the guy every year proposes inane trades to everyone until the dumbest owner in the league finally caves.

 

[Lavalamp]

Well I want out, I thought this would be fun, but it turns out it`s just long. If someone takes the reigns of this thing and make it happen on 1 or 2 days, and make it like a 10 minute per draft pick limit kind of thing then sure.

Maybe Kid Chocolate, Chingy, King Shake or Accelerate would still want in, they wanted in before.

Make your damn pick already

 

[pegs]

Wow, does nobody really have the patience for this? I've never seen this much complaining and giving up. I don't have a pick until the 4th round now, and I don't mind waiting at all.

That is an entirely different type of draft.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

I know man all I hear is whining or "oh god it takes too long"

This draft is meant to take a long time, thats how it was last year and we got through it just fine.

If anyone else wants to drop out they should just say now instead of waiting till their damn pick

 

[ghoti]

Were the rules in Swahili during the signups?

Just pick when it's your turn and stop complaining you bunch of babies!

You don't have to sit by your computer until it's your pick!

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (fiElDy @ Jul 31 2008, 04:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Make your damn pick already</div>
Well when someone steps in they would probably rather make the pick themselves than have the guy I choose.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (cpawfan @ Jul 31 2008, 04:14 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>That is an entirely different type of draft.</div>
Yep. I'm just saying I would totally be up for the one that doesn't take 40+ days.

 

[Dark Defender]

Lavalamp's pick will be skipped until his replacement is found.

 

[lukewarmplay]

I don't think Artest would have gotten past me.
