I knew it. Roy is a beast. Versatile guard. Not injury prone or a bad
locker room influence. A good leader.

Actually he does have injury concerns. Nonetheless a good pick

 

Ghoti, why wouldn't you consider taking Duncan or Pierce? Age-related?

 

There is gonna be a separate order for the 2nd Draft, right?

Yes. I guess we are going to have to start advertising it a little more so we can fill it up. I'll make a thread about it tomorrow.

One of the reasons I wouldn't take Duncan besides age is his style of play. It would only mesh well with a hand full of players, the Spurs realized this and got the right guys around him and it would be much harder to do that in a GM draft.

I disagree. His first championship team and last championship team were almost completely different. On both teams he was the best player.

 

Im willing to part with my 5th and 6th or even 7th round picks to trade up for another second round pick.

PM me if anybody is interested

 

Talk about waiting a LONG time........

It hasn't even been 2 days...

 

2 days to pick 1 player is a very long time.

 

If you don't like it, don't join. It's completely idiotic to complain about a SUMMER ACTIVITY taking too long.

Roy went further down than where I would have taken him.

#2) Minnesota Timberwolves - jerseycarter15 - Vince Carter
#7) Milwaukee Bucks - kk30 - Amare Stoudemire (probably would have taken him ahead of Roy)
#15) New Jersey Nets - ZAE - Chris Bosh
#16) Cleveland Cavaliers - dino33 - Steve Nash
#17) Oklahoma City - User01 - Monta Ellis
#18) Indiana Pacers - logik15 - Shawn Marion
#19) Phoenix Suns - syc514 - Elton Brand (probably would have taken him ahead of Roy)
#20) Dallas Mavericks - yinets1860 - Tracy McGrady

Those are the players I would have taken Roy before.

 

It was a coin flip between Williams and Nowitzki, but at the end of the day, Dirk is still an MVP caliber player and a big man who is easier to build a team around. The future won't be as bright, but the team will be better off in the short run.

 

I thought we were building a team to win a championship NOW... not for the future. That is why I picked Nash.. who is really old.

 

Greg Oden isn't a stretch for a guy who had surgery and still hasn't played a nba game yet Ghoti??

 

Yeah, ghoti, you sorta puzzled me on that one. Seems like a guy you'd want on your "caution" list, right? He hasn't even played in an NBA game yet. I don't see how he's a 1st rounder at all.

 

Damn you, ghoti.

I'd like to move down from this pick, so PM me with offers.

 

Greg Oden was the right pick at that spot, no question. This guy is going to be a franchise center. He's not going to win you a championship right now though.

Maybe we can work something out.

I think you blew it! I'm surprised because I know how much you like Deron.

 

I dont see oden making an impact right now to win a championship, he is def a pick for the future.. but not if we are going to vote for a championship with the teams we currently have
