    CK had Wade ahead of KG anyway on the list he sent me.

    I don't get the Wade pick all that much. But I guess it's a pretty good pick. Idk, I wouldn't pick him myself

    I want another 1st round pick [​IMG]

    Wade was the guy I had in mind with the injury question. I figured that would be the only way he had a chance to last to me.

    You were hoping Wade would fall to you?

    Nah, I'm playing this entirely by ear. And I got small ears.

    Hey, if you get in this and want Portland, we can switch team names, FYI. I'm not married to the Blazers.

    If Duncan made it to my pick, I probably would have passed.

    Luke, LeBron isn't a "SF". He's a freak superstar who can play all five positions. Right now he's mostly a PG, but when he fills out I can see him finishing as a PF. In any event, the dropoff between him and everyone is enough to justify picking him first.

    You would have to be brain dead to take KG over Dwight Howard. The only real debate is whether he should be first or second.

    I'm pretty much accepted the fact my team will be worse than last year.

    I'm going to Giants Stadium tonight so I might not be around. I'd send ZAE my list but I think he's going too.

    I have two lists. Players I'd take if available and players that for various reasons I woudn't draft. Duncan is on that second list.

    would you have taken Amare where I took him?

    Amare is so good offensively and so bad defensively he is very difficult for me to rank in a draft like this. I will say that he is not on my "do not draft" list even though his long term health worries me.

    Wade went higher than I thought he would and lower than he should have. Great pick.

    Curious. What's your beef with Duncan? Do you have similar issues with KG? (i.e., age, or injuries) Because at this point, I'm more worried about Wade's future health than Duncan's.

    Yeah I wanted Kobe first, then LeBron (which is stupid to think they would fall that low), then Howard, and if I had the 4th pick my choice would have been either Chris Paul or Wade.
