I have come to a decision that I think is a fair compromise. DBC and others argue that because we started with the original rosters, he should go to Washington. However, there are also several who say that he should go in a lottry, since the game has changed drastically since the start. The decision I've come to is that Michael Jordan will go into the common draft pool. It doesn't automatically give him to the Wizards, so that rule is upheld, but Washington can still grab him cause they have the top pick. This will also set a future precedent for all returning players-- they will go into the common draft pool. By the way, I still need the next player protected from the following teams: Phoenix San Antonio Miami Boston If I do not receive lists from these teams tonight by 10 or so, I will protect their next best player in my estimation for them. By the way, I am protecting Etan Thomas for this round. Tomorrow, after we are completely finished with this, I will pick two players from each team. You will then choose which one of those goes into the common draft pool. The deadline for that decision will be Tuesday. We will probably hold the draft next weekend, or sometime near then. What I do need, however, is THIS: Everyone below please post the picks you own for this year's draft. If you cannot remember all of them, just post what you remember and/or know you have. I will sort out all confusion over any unclaimed picks or picks claimed by more than one team later. Just post a list like this: Houston Rockets 1st Round Picks-- Rockets 2nd Round Picks- None Try and get this draft stuff done asap...
Hawks: 1st Round: 3rd (did heath ever confirm? if not, #6 and I still have Battie for the common pool. Not really sure about this) and 76ers (don't know what #) 2nd Round: Hawks
very good decision Cat. I'm really glad DBC won the lotto now, for there is no real controversey. my picks - Kings 2nd rounder my 2nd rounder
I gave up my 1st rounder for Chris Gatling , But I Think I have 2 or 3 second rounders from trades , 1 second rounder is from The Hornets , I cant remember anything else .
First Round:Wizards Second Round:Wizards Could the league have some pre-draft sims with Mj so he can get a stat line? You'll rue the day ya crossed me Cuttino.
Sorry rimmy - I did not confirm. I could not decide if I wanted to risk getting a much worse player at #6 So you have #6, and I have #3. Sixers: 1st round: Magic (#3), Sixers (#24?) 2nd round: Magic (#30)
See now, I don't understand how this works. It doesn't matter what happens in the real NBA. Thats what the sim is about right? Rice was traded to Houston, so should Cat get him? Joe Smith resigned with the Wolves, should I get him? Brand was traded to the Clips, should SCF get him? Now, I have no problem with his being placed in the common draft(As I consider it fair) Just wondering why he would automatically be given to DBC.
Well the 2nd deadline has now gone and these were the protections. Now wait for The Cat's selections for each team. Mavs Benjamin Rockets E.Thomas Jazz Kukoc Wolves Sabonis Bucks Smith Sixers Robinson Blazers Dream Spurs R.Davis Celtics Jackson Knicks Ostertag Pacers Delk Nets Wesley Grizzlies J.Johnson Kings J.Jackson Suns Horry Sonics Outlaw Clippers Amaechi Lakers Rogers Heat B.Knight Bulls B.Miller Pistons Murphy Wizards White Nuggets Cook Raptors Rogers Hawks Billups Cavs A.Jones Hornets Nailon Magic Hassell Warriors Cisse For the Rockets we will have to find another solution as The Cat can not select for himself. His remaining roster is: Russell, Fisher, Hunter, Curry and Massenburg. We has a short discussion in the chat and decided that Russell should be one of the two, but had a hard time deciding over who should be the other. We thought it should be one of these two: *G Derek Fisher - about 4.5 pts, 2 asst in 12 min *C Stephen Hunter - about 4.3 pts, 3 reb in 14 min If Cat can list their full statline that might help us decide. Everybody come with your input. We will let the majority of the GMs with an opinion decide within the next few days. Take into account that they are playing diferent positions when you judge the stats. *) The stats are what Cat could remember in the chat. Of course if you feel Curry or Massenburg should go you could also voice that opinion.
I think it should be Fisher. He seems to be the more valuable player of the two. He was fairly productive in a backup PG role when he was on my team. Fisher.
Hunter and Fisher produce similar numbers, Hunter is younger than Fisher and has more upside than Fisher. I think it should be Hunter instead of Fisher...
