    Well it would be swapping a better first rounder and not as good 2nd rounder for a not as good 1st rounder and a better 2nd rounder.

    Not just swapping first rounder for first rounder.

    I don't think I can afford the #1 overall pick lol without giving up to much.

After he picks we'll go to the normal 6 hour pick limit.

    What do you guys think the night pick limit should be? Anyone that goes on the clock after 10:00 pm will get until 8:00 am the next morning to pick?</div>

    Is this stuff Eastern time? I sure as hell know I'm not gonna wake up @ 5 in the morning if I don't know it's my pick. Is there a system where we can leave a list of players with someone to make our pick?
    </div>

    You can PM me with a list if you don't think you'll be around. I'm not participating in this draft.

    I understood that, but consider that value drops off progressively (and sometimes precipitously) in each round, so that scenario wouldn't be worth it for someone with a better first round pick. So, for instance, I'd be happy to do that type of trade with you in exchange for trading places in the 4th. [​IMG]

    <u>Charlotte Bobcats</u> - ghoti

    Picked in August, 2005.

    There's a few misses in there, but I think I could swing a deal for a decent PG. [​IMG]
    </div>

    wow, my favorite team (only one I can remember) is kinda similar. And by similar I mean our points suck and we had 3 beastly bigs. Mine was Marcus/Manu/Hedo(or Mike Miller, I think it was one of the two)/David West/Kaman with Aldridge off of the bench. I'll bow to your superiority, though.

    wow at ZAE, that actually kind of hurt me. The best player on that team is probably Bonzi.

    oh man

    Who the hell was my first round pick? I think I was really trade happy that year and ended up getting robbed in all of them.

    That was my team last year (forgot who my 3rd PF was) but I don't think I did too bad looking back. I'd still kill Real's team 9 times out of 10. [​IMG]

    Did someone tell you this was a competition to pick the players you think are likely out of league in 2 years? I'm actually seriously thinking that you are playing really poorly just to keep others happy, because I don't think it's possible to assemble that team while trying.

    ok I found another one of ZAE's, and it actually isn't bad.

    MoWill/Jaric/Gibson
    Bonzi/Korver
    Kirilenko/Outlaw
    KMart/Walker/Blatche
    Camby/Ely

    And picked in the 10th, 11th, and 12th rounds were Outlaw, Blatche, and Gibson. So there, you aren't always terrible.

    I think for this your power forwards could beat the rest of your team in a game of 3-on-9.
