PG: John Wall/Allen Iverson
SG: Tyreke Evans/Tracy McGrady
SF: Ron Artest/Terrence Williams
PF: David Lee
C: Marcus Camby/Jermaine O'Neal


that has to be the most dysfunctional team ever assembled. makes the 2000 jailblazers look like the curry family reunion. you sure you dont want to trade david lee for zach randolph?

The dysfunctional part will be solved with my next pick.

I thought about taking Randolph (another player I like) but I figured I needed at least one model citizen on the team.

2nd round guy: Marcus Thornton

Does Corey Maggette count as a Journeyman? Orl/LAC/GSW/MIL this season?

With my next pick, I select Gregg Popovich as my coach. Air Force veteran, brilliant basketball mind, and he doesn't take crap. Perfect coach for my dysfunctional lineup.

Walt,the word on the first post is "playED for 4 teams",so on principle Maggs shouldnt count,but considering how much you missed,I'll personally let this slide,well this is just my opinion,let's hear what everyone says.

Welcome back Walt, I don't think he would count because he hasn't played for the 4th team yet. But you may want to wait for another answer.

hmm, I ask because someone took Beasley as a Beast of the Least, which to me was for the worst team from both conferences last season, but I don't really care.

I'll take Larry Brown as my other pick.

Wait, Beasley got taken in Beast of the Least? Everything in this draft is supposed to be based on what the player did up until this point. Hence the birthday limit on 35+, journeyman was supposed to be 4 teams before this year, no playoffs is 4 years before this one, etc. So Beasley needs a new category and I don't think Maggs counts as journeyman either.

The problem is that the past tense is so clear in the Journeyman description,while BOTL says NJN or MIN player,it must have confused some of the drafters.

Also,I will be gone the whole next day looking for my public exam results,both my picks will be made by Slam,cheers

i interpreted journeyman as having already played for 4 teams. i interpreted beast of least as current nets/wolves player. i had beasley on my list of players for that category. its not like beasley is a difference maker anyway. i also had their rookies on my list - favors and the dude from syracuse.

Someone put my Hedo under Euro, when I said to put him under Journeyman (SAC, SAS, ORL, TOR)



With my next pick, I'm taking the king of cool, and I can;t believe two other coaches were selected before him, Phil Jackson.

Owner: amcoolio
Coach: Phil Jackson

PG: Devin Harris / Darren Collison
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Paul Pierce / Hedo Turkoglu
PF: Kevin Garnett / Paul Millsap
C: Derrick Favors / Troy Murphy

This has champsionship team written all over it, and I picked 10th out of 12!
