    they probably wouldn't believe you, or you would just make the pick and then work on a trade.

    Dead serious, I was thinking of doing that. I don't think we're against it - isn't that what teams do in the NBA?

    Think Chicago - they wanted Tyrus, had a pick ahead of Portland. Portland wanted LaMarcus, so Chi picked him and had Portland pick Tyrus so they could trade LaMarcus to Portland for Tyrus and get something else from them. Is that how it worked out?

    lol yea I know, but I was at a friend`s place and I knew I was 2 picks away when I left but I once I got there I totally didn`t think of checking or anything.

    As well, I kind of thought I traded the pick away before I left, but the deal fell through.

    I`m still willing to trade my 1st round pick if anyone isn`t picking again till the mid-late 2nd round, and wants to get a top 30 player instead of a top 60 player.

    lol yep. I've always liked what he brings, a tough rebounder and gets position and even finds teammates for a good number of open looks.

    I`m also guessing it wasn`t danxcr`s pick.

    nice pick, i like the idea of starting the team with a big man as well unless you get to land someone in the class of bron, paul, kobe etc

    Not one of my favorites, but he's a pretty good pickup.
