The bet is: When rosters are announced, will a new Rocket be ranked ahead of Langhi at SF? CriscoKidd's side says Yes (because SF is a glaring weakness and this draft is loaded with them), and heypartner's side says No (the Frontline will be beefed up first, and Walt, Langhi and the 3 guard rotation can handle the SF weakness for now). Just like football...picking a Derrick Chievous does not win the bet for the Crisco side; he must beat out Langhi THIS YEAR, or we must acquire an NBA vet to beat out Langhi. Otherwise, we couldn't consummate the bet on Oct 31st. The Winners get to rename the Losers' monikers. We will do pair match-ups so that everyone has exclusive naming rights over someone else. As previously promised to get more people in the bet, if I lose then all winners get a piece of my ass; ie. naming rights for a month. Bold names means agreed upon match-ups. <pre><font face="courier"> <u>Crisco's side</u> <u>HP's Side</u> Achebe - 3723 SmeggySmegg - 2988 Francis3 - 3502 HOOP-T - 2449 Haven - 1926 Behad - 2366 moestavern19 - 1657 DaDakota - 2314 4chuckie - 1232 Band Geek Mobster - 2083 SpaceCity - 950 Puedlfor - 1667 rocketsfan34 - 882 Heath2000 - 1170 Joe Joe - 816 Rocketsbooster - 1129 Vengeance - 797 verse - 929 Scarface - 560 Summer Song Giver - 896 Thanos - 559 RichRocket - 778 No Worries - 557 Hydra - 728 Valio! - 492 Castor - 521 rocketsauce - 475 P1S2 - 343 Turbo - 298 RocketBall - 308 Colby - 293 fatty fat fat - 217 franchise_3 - 288 Darryle Ward - 160 OT - 286 RocketKid - 158 Kim - 271 Silent J - 147 bigboymummu - 258 Since75 - 113 Rocket Guard - 165 Lord Tree - 158 SuperS32 - 113 Onepaks - 32 Wink3Cat5 - 63 Kimble14 - 11 floyd - 48 UofTOrange - 52 oeilpere - 512 </pre></font> You have until very soon to join the bet. It is looking like my side has 2 to 1 odds, meaning each of us gets to change 2 of you, should we win!! [This message has been edited by heypartner (edited June 25, 2001).]
I'm game...and due to my belief that our frontline is weak, I think that we'll emphasize that area 1st. ------------------ Vice-president of the Jason Collier Police
I assume that, upon renaming, one starts again with 0 posts? ------------------ blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah

Alright, I'm gonna side with oelipere and CriscoKidd on this one. Put me down for us getting a shiny new SF ------------------ blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
HP-Hewlett Packard I have to go with upgrading our small forward postion. Similar to two drafts ago when point guards were abundant, this draft is oozing with small forwards. Breakdown Probable/Possible non-small forwards that will be drafted in the top 13 Curry, Richardson, Diop, Wood, Tinsley, Brown, Chandler(do not really know whether high schoolers will play sf, pf or c), maybe Bradley, maybe Murphy Probable/Possible small forwards that will be drafted in top 13 Radman, Battier, Johnson, Gasol(I guess he is a sf), White(tweener), Jefferson, Griffen There are too many good small forwards. The big guys will go early(top 7) and late in the first round(20-29). ------------------ Fuggetabout it
heypartner: fine, I'll join on criscokidd's side. I want you to answer this question though: what happens if there's both a new sf and a new PF? Is it a tie? ------------------ Lacking inspiration at the moment...
I bet a new SF will be ahead of Langhi. Even if the Rocks trade one of the picks to move up to get Jop, their second pick will be a SF. Worst case, TMo with the 23rd pick will move ahead of Langhi. ------------------

haven, The bet has nothing to do with PF/Cs, although it is a reason why my side thinks you will lose. The bet is the first sentence in the openning post. There are NO ties. Your new SF has to beat out Langhi in camp. Just like in football. Picking a new SF in the draft isn't enough. Picking Derrick Chievous doesn't win!!! Isn't this a pretty simple bet? You guys say we need a new SF starter. My side says that Rudy doesn't work that way; Rudy may want an immediate SF starter, but he won't get it, because of the PF/C weaknesses.

out me with Crisco!!! ------------------ The fun just never ends for them! Jump on the Wizards banwagon and be the only one with season tickets:http://www.washingtonwizards.com/
by "new" sf, do you mean a rookie or just someone new to the team? ------------------ "The difference in this (tied) series has been Dikembe Mutombo" - Bill Walton
ah! I see now..acquiring an NBA vet counts as "new" ------------------ "The difference in this (tied) series has been Dikembe Mutombo" - Bill Walton
Valio! I just clarified that in the opening post. REMEMBER, Derrick Chievous does not win the bet. And Radman will not beat out Langhi by opening day you fools!!! I need some more people on my side. Rudy will not move Radman ahead of Langhi on opening day!! Join me!!
