Because his pick didn't go on the clock after 10 PM? That's what the rules state: "Anyone that goes on the clock after 10:00 pm EST will get until 8:00 am EST the next morning to pick."

His pick went on the clock at 8:28 PM.
</div>

I thought we agreed that ZAE had worded that improperly
</div>

Then why the hell hasn't it been fixed!?1?!?

(btw, I never read anything about it being worded improperly)

Ha.

[pegs]

Is there a certain amount of time in which you can't trade a player?




CelticKing and ly_ying, check your PMs!!

 

[cpawfan]

I took one of the best utility players to start my bench in Diaw

C:
PF: KG
SF: Artest
SG: SJax
PG: Stuckey

Bench: Diaw

Are you going for the All-Attitude Problem team? Because I really don't see how Stuckey fits.

Seriously though, Jax is going to shoot Diaw for eating his doughnuts.

Stuckey is young enough that he can be tutored in the ways of team psycho

 

[dino33]

ARg dammit I wanted Diaw to fill in the remaining roster spot and PF.

 

[CelticKing]

Ok guys thought a lot about this and decided to go with a proven winner in Derek Fisher, who has not missed that many games to injuries for the past 3 years.

So starting five at the moment, is PG: Derek Fisher, SG: Dwayne Wade, SF: Lamar Odom, PF: Zach Randolph, CE: Tyson Chandler.

Might move Zach to the bench, if a guy I want is still available until my next pick.

I like your lineup better with randolph in the bench.

Same here.


I'm open to trade offers for picks. (want to move up)

 

[Kid Chocolate]

Move Randolph to the bench and never play him, ever, and you have a better team.

 

[jtballa2o1]

aaaah idk who to pick -__-

I'll bench him and keep him in case an injury happens.

 

[dino33]

I think Fisher dropped... I would pick him over a lot of other PGs

If we are drafting for a team to win NOW

I believe one Mr. Foyle is available.

 

[danxcr]

hmm there are still a lot of good players out there

</div>

i going to select him with my other pick.

 

[jtballa2o1]

haha

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

should've been

1: Adonal Foyle
2: Vince Carter

then this draft wouldve been legit.

 

[jtballa2o1]

ok guys I toke Mcdyess, and traded my 6th and 9th for Zach Randolph and a 10th. But before you bash me I made the pick of Mcdyess for defensive purposes so now I can put a front court of Mcdyess and Troy Murphy and still be productive if something happens to Zach. Makes sense right??

 

[jerseycarter15]

jtballa201 what a horrible trade.

 

[DynastYWarrioR6]

anyone notice that this is moving REALLY quickly

please explain really Zach is productive and I almost got insurance if it doesn't work out in a front court of Troy and mcdyess

nah man i was kidding good trade

 

[Kid Chocolate]

Well drafting McDyess for defensive purposes is a failure in itself. At this point, McDyess is a jump-shooter, who NEEDS to be assisted on his jumpshots. Basically he's a standalone guy who can hit an open jumpshot. But he's damn good at hitting those jump shots. With his knee issues, he should be playing about 20 MPG only.

Randolph is terrible. We all know this.


jtballa2o1: 171, 250

celticking: Randolph (112), 292

That trade is just mind boggling all around. Trading for Zach Randolph is horrible, and CK had to eat crow on his mistake and make a bad trade based upon where Randolph was picked. Moving down 59 now to move up 42 later. CK sort of screwed himself by picking Zach, but at least was able to get something for him.

ok 1st of all mcydess just doesn't sit around and take jumpers getting him for defense is a good idea actually, he averaged close to 9 rebounds per game last year and almost 1 block so hes still somewhat effective now the big deal with Zach ok well he never contributed to winning but he could always get benched on my team in a worst case scanrio and I could still compete and be effective. I dont get it either KC and maybe like 1 or 2 other guys on here hate Zach and now everyone does??

Everyone's been hating on Z-Bo, forever. Seriously. If you're going to bring up defense, never bring up blocking and rebounding. You'll just look silly.
