the only issue with AI that I have is he is too short to defend 2s and shouldn't really play the point. He can be very good, but its hard to put the right guard around him.
Plus, I'm not too worried about giving up so much. With the way the draft is going, I think it's very likely that the players I want fall to me.

If a superstar is available at pick 38, you take him. </div> I think AI is very popular with both the fans and the media. His toughness and tenacity has completely overtaken his earlier immaturity and his image has changed a lot over the years. His shooting percentage, on the other hand, is something that's harder to live with. </div> He shot 46% last season and was 3rd in the league in scoring. 7+ APG and 2 SPG, too. </div> Yep. He's good. I'm curious to see what the rest of GK6's team will look like.
Ace, look at my trade and look at yours. You got hosed. Why would you want to move down that far for an extra 9th round pick?

Why did you have so much trouble finding a player that fits with Brandon Roy? He's such a versatile guy. There are a lot of great options available!

Alright, picked Chandler, had at least 4 other guys I was thinking about but need to get the PF/C position cleared early, especially with Chandler still being available. Just talked to Wade, he's very happy, already in the gym working out, getting ready for the season.

Now explain yours where you get a 2nd and 3rd rounder for basically trading 2nd and 8th. Look at them over and tell me which one is more fair.
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ace @ Jul 30 2008, 02:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Tyson Chandler was going to be one of my choices too.</div> Yeah, I'm going to kick myself for not picking someone else, who was very high on my list, (still are but will be picked in the next few picks I bet), but Chandler is still a great pick to be paired with Wade.
