    I'm willing to listen to offers for my 2nd round pick or 3rd round pick.

    And can we have a thread like last year where we can peer evaluate other teams?

I think he is a great offensive player, and yeah his defense sucks, but he can drain the long ball. People didn't like my team last year because of Arenas, Redd etc. So I knew the same people voting wouldn't think of voting for a team with Redd on it unless the other starters were amazing.</div>
    im pretty screwed then

    What matters is what you think, not what potential voters might think.

    well I think I'm gonna get a huge steal in Jal_n Rose, who is better than Lebron, it's too bad the voters won't recognize this truth. :*(

    Seriously guys. Please stop talking about un-drafted prospects, even if they make a good joke, so to speak. And I'm not talking about Jalen Rose.

    I think he's an excellent player.

    I'm comparing him to -say - Kevin Durant, and I think he doesn't come out so well.

    Why not? One has spectacular defense with pretty good (and largely untapped) offense, and the other has spectacular offense with apparently decent (and improving) defense.

    Well I almost annoyed about your blatant disregard towards Jalen Rose. [​IMG]

    understandable. I'm contemplating it myself just due to the time it involves.

    At least make a pick to speed up the drafting, until we find another member that will take the team.

    I think we've seen the ceiling for Prince. Let's be realistic about the difference between these players.

    Prince doesn't have anywhere near the skills or the potential of Durant. Not even close. These are not comparable players. Would you trade Durant for Prince? C'mon.

    I was actually thinking of taking Durant with my pick, and I think he should have gone late 1st round, to be truthful. He's that good.

    Thats why I traded down. I dont think Prince was worth it where I was going to
    pick him originally. Both players are young too.

    I really don't want to do this -- [​IMG] but why didn't you just pick someone other than Prince so you would have a better team?

    Your extra 9th rounder won't really have much of an effect.

    Well, not exactly.

    Prince is 28. Durant is 19.

    So you waited until it was your pick and like 8 hours had passed to come in here and just "i'm out"?

    wonderful!

    Shit.... I had to catch up with thread today.. [​IMG] I woke up at 5 in the morning to go run some errands and got home like around 2:30ish (pm) and took a nap and put my alarm for 5:30pm and apparently It didnt go off because I just woke up and its 1:15am... great. bTW Im not going back to bed im not even tired...it is going to be a long day tomorrow. Anyway I was looking to trade down yesterday to pick up Bynum,Martin and a few others but I see that they are gone and it sucks.. Moving on, Im trying to move down in the 3rd round... if anyone wants to swap picks my 3rd & 4th pick (87 & 94 I believe) for your 3rd and 4th ( Early 3rd round pick please) that would be great. [​IMG]
    Hit me up.
