The Spurs have had a lot of stopgap bigs like Rasho, Elson and Oberto who are solid but are just there to fill a very simple role.

Mahinmi is 21 and very athletic and has been learning from Tim Duncan for two years. He has to be the future for the Spurs.

Duncan could stay at an elite level for a few more years if he continues to reduce his minutes and takes a very conservative approach. If he is forced to play too many minutes because no one steps up, he will take a precipitous Jason Kidd-like plummet. He's showing a lot of signs of aging quickly just like Kidd was. The difference is that the Nets foolishly ignored it, never addressed it and lived in denial and the Spurs have recognized the issue and made it a priority to lighten Duncan's load.

I had a dream last night that someone picked a metal lobster-thing or something. But it was already picked.
 
I have a strong feeling he is still "Dreaming" my friend DW.... If you know what I mean. ;)
 
Yinets I don't know what you were trying to accomplish by posting a list of three players on the selection thread. I understand that you may be frustrated due to us coming down on you because you keep picking taken people, but that fault isn't on the people calling you on it, but rather yourself for not thoroughly checking.

Now to digress a bit, but in the 2nd draft, I really do appreciate you sending me a PM, for every round up til this past 7th round, of a list of like 15 people that you would like, but there are some problems with this.

1) Like half of your picks are on that list are usually taken already, however your top 3 picks usually aren't but the other 12 are....
2) If you have the time to PM me every round, why couldn't you just check the forums once a week or twice a week....doesn't hurt
3) Integrity: This reflects poorly on me, because even I would understand any of the blame, but all these PMs to me makes it feel like I'm doing this draft for you, and to be honest there are other posters in the forum, like some people who signed up for the 2nd draft, but didn't get to be in the first one, who are consistent with picking and are usually on time, who probably are more dedicated to this.

I'm not trying to put you down, but all of this IS true. I'm still your Shanghainese friend Dai Lo. (unless you are younger than me..)
 
Dragic was a good pick. He has a chance to play good minutes on an excellent team.
 
draft is almost over!!! i think we set a record with 2 picks today
 
I'm surprised at some of the people still out there to be picked...it's pretty cool, but probably has to do with the skipped picks too..
 
Real currently has 3 skipped picks, but I see him posting in those political threads all the time.
 
Alright guys, my team is finally complete.

Los Angeles Lakers

PG- Derek Fisher / Eddie House / Gabe Pruitt
SG- Dwayne Wade / Tony Allen
SF- Jamario Moon / Matt Barnes
PF- Lamar Odom / Juwan Howard
C- Tyson Chandler / Francisco Elson / Patrick O'Bryant
 
I gave pegs until 8AM because noone edited the selections page while I was gone, therefore I don't think people knew ly_yng had his pick skipped due to outstanding picks, and since I or any other mod wasnt here to check that and PM pegs, his time was starting without him even knowing. His time would've been up in 30mins...but due to the lack of communication (I apologize) I give him til morning...fair enough?
