You have to work with what you've got.</p>

Ben Gordon and Kevin Durant are a good young duo that can compete now and for the future. Both are a little weak defensively (but I don't think either is a liability, just average), and now you have to just put the role players around them that allow them to be great. Both have a killer instinct lacking in most players in the league (Arenas/Kobe also have this gene), and having two guys with the same gene on the same team is deadly. </p>

 

Terrible trade for BG7. You might have been able to get Gordon @ 50.

I didn't even notice he had 43. That definately makes it even worse. Even if he didn't get Gordon (who he obviously targeted), there are players who are at around the same level. But, there's no doubt that he probably would have gotten him at 43, but basically threw away the chance to build any substance or depth on his team. Just awful.</p>

Last year I got Ben Gordon @ 75, fwiw.</p>

</p>

Damn, really wanted Camby. Nice pick CelticKing.

 

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Denny Crane)</div><div class='quotemain'>

Gordon was a > 20PPG scorer vs. like 16.6 last year. He's going to move up.</p>

MMMmmmmmmaaybe I would have taken him, so BG7 had to move up ahead of me if he really wanted him.</p>

</p>

</div></p>

</p>

Maybe, BUT, he had another pick ahead of you where he could have stayed and taken him.</p>

Thanks. He's a beast. </p>

 

This is only me second draft league. Good way to kill time.

 

Damn, I was gonna pick Billups....</p>

Nice pick L.</p>

 

ghoti! pick! i hate this waiting.

 

I still got a long wait before my pick...

 

I'm open to trading this pick.</p>

I'm looking for a lower pick in this round and an additional 3rd round pick (for a lower round pick).</p>

If anyone's interested, PM me. I still have a couple of hours left.</p>

C'mon it's not that late!</p>

Nobody wants any of the players left?</p>

I'll trade you Yao Ming for all of your picks.

 

any one wanna check out my picks, make a trade, i'm up for it. all my picks are up for grabs, just give me a good trade.

 

Hooray! I've been targeting 3 players, and they're all still on the board.

 

I'm just hoping that ______ FOYLE getting waived hurts his value and he slips to me in round 3.

 

I wonder if Elton Brand is going to be picked up at all.

 

He should be.
