NBA Eastern Conference Draft : CHAT

[UK Cowboy]

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

I think the bench is huge in this. Most NBA teams play 9 guys big minutes, some play 10 guys double figures. I know my starters might change depending on the matchup

What I meant is I wanna list teams in the playoffs as I have them in the team thread. I think people have a tendency to just vote on the starting 5 and not give much thought to the bench. But i'll do whatever everyone wants...

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

Yes I want to pick up Laimbeer since I dropped him for a bag of peanuts

I think if you go that route it's fine, but each team will need the chance to state how they would play the team they are matching up with

That's easier said than done, most of the fellas aren't going to be able to post something as soon as I post the games and people are just gonna vote as soon as the games are posted.

That is quite an impressive group. I am little disappointed that You couldn't work Darko in there somewhere though

 

[Shanemansj13]

We supposed to post our teams?

I don't think so. Think how nos has it listed in Team Thread is how it's going to be going into matchups

Funny thing is, if you took all those scrubs with an in his prime MJ and a sidekick like Peja, put them in today's NBA with the current no rules, and they'd be legit Title contenders.
Would probably start Traylor for Bennett, but yeah, without hand checking, MJ would score every time he touched the ball, and Peja would spread the floor. The other 3 would simply need to rebound, play some D and hit shots with no one in their zip code

@Nosferatu,

Can you please credit Heinsohn as being SF/PF?

I will use him more as a wing shooter in the second unit.

 

[Nosferatu]

I'm gonna post the playoffs.

Not a fan how the lineups are posted... Some guys have said what they wanted but it's a little questionable where some guys will play... I do my best but a few switches here and there and I might change my vote on a few of those matchups...

I was thinking I don't want people only voting on the starting 5 which happens quite a bit...

I understand and I get it... But it's hard to really say what people want to do with what they picked... UK for example, he wanted to start Wallace in this thread... IMO Smits or Oneal may have been a better option vs a tall fade away shooter like Ewing... That was probably the biggest reason I voted against him... Some other things in other matches, I guess there's no perfect way but IMO just posting 10 players and saying vote is too open to interpretation... But maybe that's good...
