    Umm Red Nation since when has this become a dictatorship you can't take CP3 from me and you can't take KD from torque.:)

    And about the injury thing i say let the injuries go as long as we know what kind of player they are because Lamarcus aldrigde was injured late and someone has already picked him up but andrew bogut has been injured for a while.

    I think if the player has shown he is healthy now, then there is no reason to hold him out. Just my opinion.

    Keep in mind, these rules only have merit here. Once we get into the voting, the general public will not take this into consideration. Last year's winning team featured Caron Butler as a third option. Butler was taken very late in the draft because of the rules, but it made no difference when voting was open. He was simply known as the all star caliber forward from the very beginning of last season.

    Aldridge played 55 games. That exceeds requirement of half the games. No bogut. he was out all season. If you can get a majority to agree, then the I will let injuries go. So far, 4 people say that injuries should matter (I got some emails from a couple people)

    You said Mbenga, he said odom! You went against my command. Now pay the price. Basketball reasons. [​IMG]

    That's the thing. He was taken late because of injuries but was considered an all star in voting. Is that okay? Should we allow it? It wasn't fair in that draft because we thought he was injured. If we don't draft players that are injured, it avoids controversy. I'm open to anything, though. It doesn't really matter to me. WHatever the majority here says is what we will do.

    Fair enough. I suppose there isn't enough evidence throughout the year on someone like Gordon or Lopez, to give an accurate reading on to begin with. Maybe it's best to keep the rule in place. The only thing that bothers me is that someone who is clearly injured now, like Rubio, is available. But we have to draw the line somewhere. You've convinced me. I say the 1/2 season rule should apply. No matter what it isn't going to be completely fair. At the very least, player values are going to significantly rise and drop during the upcoming playoffs anyway.
