Official Build-a-Team 1.0: Trade/Discussion (2 Hr Picks) P3

[Saint Nicolas]

I only did top 10. I had you about the 12-15 range. I don't trust Carmelo as the number one option. It's a competitive playoff team, but I don't think it's a top 10. The bench is really good as are your big men, pretty much 2-3 deep everywhere, but it's just the fact that I don't trust Melo as a top player. I could be wrong though!

It's not "Denver syndrome" it is "Rondo syndrome"...

As in people still don't see a guy who can almost average a triple double in the playoffs as a superstar. Jason Kidd puts up similar numbers years ago and is considered one of the greatest PG's of all time.

The fact that Rondo isn't viewed as the #1 PG in the league blows my mind. It's simply because they guy doesn't put up huge scoring numbers.

Rondo is EASILY a top 10 player in the NBA - not just in terms of fantasy or B-a-T.

No problem, I was kind of kidding, but I thought there was a chance you happened to use my rankings to look at the rosters instead of the team display thread. I definitely disagree with a lot of your opinions and I feel that I have a top team, but I appreciate that you actually took the time to do a ranking.

Why don't you think Melo is a top player?

Well I definitely feel that your team is not similar to Denver. I personally have Rondo as the 10th best player in the league, I feel that Pau is definitely in the top 20, and I'd take EG over anyone on Denver except Iggy.

I also don't feel Rondo's the best PG in the league. I'd definitely take Chris Paul and Derrick Rose above him.

Not sure why my Sixers are getting disrespected. Would've figured I was a lock for top 10. I call foul play.

I'd take a 100% healthy Rose over him...but we are a long time away from even seeing if that is possible.

By taking Paul, you are basically saying you value scoring more than passing. Rondo is a better defender & passer than Paul - granted, not by much - but he is. I'll take Rondo over Paul...Paul is definitely #2 though.

Pretty spot on list.. I think the gap between Wade, Rondo, and Kobe is all pretty minimal though. Those guys could be swapped around

So when is a final decision being made? If we are averaging together the results from all three judgements - I believe I would take the crown... finishing 2nd, 3rd, & 4th in each ranking.

Not for nothing but I got 2 1st place votes from the Gen Board, Warriors got 1 from Gen Board and 1 from me.

Just sayin'

There was something on the general board?

[FFBlitzace]

I went looking for it after reading that but couldn't find anything. What exactly was on the gen board?

[WillyJakkz]

^^ I posted this Monday I believe, asking for judging help cause it woulda been brutally disappointing to have had the BaT end like the way it was and is heading:

Eastern Magic, Lin, and the Celtics team (among others) got some love, too.

So are we just leaving this up to the imagination?
