NBA Eastern Conference Draft : CHAT

[Ritzarmy]

Oops 500 should have went for add/drops. I saw last pick was milk and didn't realize he picked first in draft. I'll text 500.

 

[Ritzarmy]

No add/drops for 500 he says

 

[Nosferatu]

Because he was the last to draft

EDIT... Nevermind you fingered it out...

 

[Nosferatu]

No drops for me...

 

[femurov]

I want to drop Guy Rodgers and add Baron Davis.

 

[femurov]

You need a starting lineup from everybody?

 

[UK Cowboy]

Believe it or not, I did not make that up!

This is one link, I came across an article that made the same comparison.

I stand corrected Sir, but both of those cats combined aren't LBJ...

I think my team fits pretty well together also. Elite interior defense in the first group. Zo has the skills to face up and play high/low with Moses while Archibald makes plays. Allen and George are great catch and shoot players.

In the second unit, the defense is anchored by gritty guys like Laimbeer, Van Lier and Heinsohn. Van Lier, Johnson and McGinnis are all outstanding playmakers with good mid range games, and Heinsohn and Laimbeer can spread the defense with outside shooting.

Lastly, while my team's strength is definitely the bigs, we are versatile enough to play any style.

Damn how did you get such a stacked team

LOL.

Seriously though, I think I had some pretty good values fall to me in rounds 8-10 with Dandridge, Van Lier and Heinsohn.

You going to change your avatar to KC instead of RG3. Yours is still 100% better then my avatar.

I like your team. I might have liked a 4 that could play away from the basket more to go with Allen, as I think having Zo and Moses together in the post would limit spacing, but the trade off is that you have excellent post defense on the other end. Overall, a very nice job

Yeah. That was the downside to the trade for me. McGinnis can do that if needed though. I could stagger the minutes of Zo and Malone to minimize their time together. Laimbeer and Zo would give great spacing as would McGinnis with either.

Still though, Zo had a nice midrange jumper, so I think Zo and Malone would work okay. Could run pick and roll with Zo as a role replace guy spotting up and Allen and George in the corners. That would be tough to guard.

Without the trade, I would have had Grant in that spot and then drafted Willis as a backup center. With that group I would have had good defense, but no shot blocking. Also, trading for Lainbeer allowed me to draft Heinsohn, who was best available IMO.

 

[Nosferatu]

I don't think I wanna list starters and bench as I don't want people simply voting based on starters.

 

[Nosferatu]

So nobody has a drop & Pick-up???
