    You are a GM. Your job is to draft the best team. If you draft a team that's only good by 2007 standards you are going to get fired.
    </div>

    yeah, but pretty much all that I've been in have been ignored after the voting. Until we want to laugh at ZAE. I'm not saying that's the right way, but its just the way that I was expecting, I guess.

    I won the voting drafting exactly like this. And I didn't even care or try!

    Like I said, just draft a team you are happy with. It's supposed to be fun. Don't worry about who you "should" take.

    I didn't really want anyone in the top 5 other than Dwight, so if he didn't drop to me, I was definitely going to trade my pick in favor of a later pick so that I'd get a player I do like...instead of having to draft Kobe, or someone like that who I didn't want.

    No way Vince got passed 2.

    You can't go wrong with James, Paul, or Howard (those all sound like first names).

    I would have taken Roy at 17, and if I really wanted Monta, traded into the early second.

    Well, I figured James and Bryant were 1st-2nd. And then I was hoping 3rd would be Paul, so I could get Dwight. But if Paul fell to me, I might have considered him..or, I simply would have traded for a 1st and a 2nd (for my 1st and maybe my 4th).

    With a top 5 pick, I really wanted Dwight though.

    Six hours is fine, leave it alone.

    We've done this 3 or 4 years straight and we always finish in a month. If you think that's too much time, go watch an NBA game, oh wait.

    I'm back for anyone interested in my pick. I'm not 100% sold on moving down, but if the deal is right I'll do it.
