<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (DynastYWarrioR6 @ Aug 13 2008, 01:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>*sigh* whats times are posted on each persons picks? Because when I posted kk30's pick it was at 9:17. And I can't base it on the time that I see it cause I'm on the West Coast and I may not have seen it when it was posted. Then I have to adjust to East Coast. As of right now, because of cpaw's trip and ZAE's madden rush, I'm running both drafts.

My guess is the mistake that the 9:17 time was central on the forum where I assumed it was Eastern on accident, don't know why it was only this time.

I do appreciate it if you get off my ass about it. I mean I'm glad you aren't cussing at me about it, I really am, but when there is a time discrepancy you merely have to point it out, not add any colorful commentary afterwards.

I'll change it right now for you.</div>

I could be a lot nastier, take it for what it is.
We can all tell time (well after recent developments, I'm not so sure about that). When updating the selection thread, don't rush it, think it through and hopefully then you'll get it right.

KK picked at 10:17 PM EST. Cpaw should get until 8 AM EST.


Seriously guys? Again? C'mon.</div>

I believe its because Ly_yng picked (he was skipped), I was skipped, made my pick after the fact, and so kk already had a running clock before I picked. So he picked when he was skipped too.
</div>

That may have been the case, but the time posted still would have been wrong.
 
Got Matt Barnes with my pick.
 
Soooooooooo...anyone wanna do a trade? I'm starting to get bored.
 
I'm confused, why did GrandKenyon6 make 2 picks? In the Selection thread it shows he only had 1 pick and that was after J_Ray.

EDIT- ah, I see they just made a trade, my bad.

I didn't know this either, so I had no idea it was my pick, until Zae just told me. A PM would have been nice. Thanks GK6!
 
GK6 picked at 2:16 PM EST.

Apparently I was skipped almost 6 hours before I went on the clock!
 
guys I"m sorry but I just picked a 14.9 pt shooting guard who is only 23 years old and I got him in the mid-seventh round

I was well aware he was still on the board. Just didn't want him.

not to mention his ppg is inflated because he was on the TWolves.

</div>

he comes off the bench and averages 26 minutes a game, and averages basically 15 pts. Hes numbers are really not inflated because he shoots and at 45%. It's not like he shoots 20 shots a game and makes 6, hes a good shooter. You can't say his numbers are inflated because hes on a bad team.

Hes also very young and hes coming off my bench. He shoots 40.7% from three = assassin
 
Btw KC, nice pick. I was hoping that he would drop one more round and use him as a young backup center. But nice pick.

I'm not saying hes a bad scorer, he just wouldn't score 15 ppg or whatever on more than 2/3rd of the rest of the teams in the league.

Either way I'm not denying he's a good scorer, he just doesn't do much of anything else.
 
ZAE I know you saw Ricky Davis from the list I sent you but even though hes a good player hes declining. He was basically the go to guy for a horrible team last year. He averaged 36 minutes and only scored 13 points per game. Hes a guy who should of had numbers inflated for being on a bad team.

Hes also viewed as more of a poison than a solution as you can see by the best contract he could received was a one year $2.3 million from the clippers with an option for a second year.

I would of taken him if Mccants wasn't still there but I just went with a younger player who is improving rather than declining

Still getting him this late and having him come of the bench makes him a great pick

Yeah, I'm not a fan of Davis but he can score and that is something that I need off the bench, I was looking at taking him in the 5th round until I noticed Salmons was available. I understand he can be a poison, and I agree with it but the situation will be different off the bench.
 
How will it be different off the bench? Ricky Davis will whine and bitch about how he should be playing more disrupting chemistry. If anything Davis should be on a team where he starts.

first off no team will ever win with Ricky Davis starting and second hes still going to get minutes if you look at ZAE's team. IMO Salmons and Davis will both get about 25-30 minutes a game and it gives ZAE flexibility with the lineup since he can now give RJ a breather. I didn't like ZAE's team with Salmons starting but now he has a solid player who will split time with him which makes his team better

Did I say Davis's team would win if he starts? No. I don't like the pick because he will disrupt chemistry anyway you look at it. And if you start Salmons over him he still will bitch and complain that he is the better player.
 
Davis just signed with the Clippers and hes not expected to start and hes not complaining yet. I'm just saying nobody really cares if they start or not just that they get the minutes and on ZAE's team he'll get them. He should get up to 30 a night and it might increase even more if he outplays Salmons.

I don't really like Davis either but do I think hes better than quite a few of the guys drafted in front of him YES.

Does he disrupt chemistry? Yes but he has been kind of quiet over the past few years and hes talented so sometimes you just take talent over attitude and hope he likes the situation.

In real life what the Clippers did is really smart because if he becomes too much of a problem they're just waive him. Not that big of an impact on their cap.
 
The starting positions aren't set in stone yet. If he doesn't get a starting spot, watch him complain.

answer me this, when is Ricky Davis on winning teams?
 
He won't complain

And although clearly he's never been a coach's favorite anywhere he's been, hes also never had any run ins with the law or anything that bad. He gets a bad rap but mostly his attitude problems were from his younger days.

He's declining in explosiveness though and he might be wearing down and hes also not a good defender, but it was a good pick for ZAE thats all I'm going to say. Hes not a winner and that could be a problem but is it really his fault hes been on some awful teams.

I never really had anything agaisnt Ricky Davis and I was close to picking him myself. ZAE's team is still worse than mine lol and ZAE I'm done arguing for you
