I still think it was a huge mistake to let go of DeAndre Liggins, who is playing really good for Cleveland right now. Best Magic player ever taken in the second round!!

Whoa, now, I know it was technically a draft night trade for his rights, but one of my recent picks has to disagree...

Hah, true. Then Liggins is the best 2nd round pick after The Polish Hammer!

Did i miss something on Dwight? Why dsg liked it? :/

I was SO CLOSE to offering pick 166 for pick 167 in our BG-Ibaka trade, just to see it say:

My hate for him is slowly fading! No one else feels the same yet!?

Hopefully Jabari has a Breakout year

[HoraceGrant]

I think jabari definitely could, especially with Middleton out. If he could hit some threes he'd be awesome.

Banking on his huge 2nd half last season and Middleton's absence. Not to mention that he can nego for max.

I have a solar charger as well as a 22000MA bank in addition to a 7200MA aftermarket extended battery I am going to put into the phone. I could go a week easily.

what the hell? why didnt Skin announce he is interested in trading Ibaka? I assumed he took him so high to hold on to him so I didnt even bother sending a proposal.
I think I would offer a better package...hell I think it would be a bidding war.

imo bad GM move ... unless he got what he wanted all along

well ship has sailed

[BadMofoPimp]

I made my 2 picks and both were Pistons in the last year of their respective contracts. Otherwise, I may have used one of the picks to take another solid player that is surprisingly still on the board. Emailed UrAverage.

Sorry Snoop. I was still in the early stages of my team's formation when I took Ibaka, so I based that pick off of BPA and fandom. As the draft continued, my strengths started to come to light and I realized that Blake was a better fit for my team than Ibaka was. So there was really no shopping necessary. I just knew what I wanted. It looks like you got a good team but I'm actually not sold that Ibaka was good for your team with the way you're shaping up so far. Plus, I don't see a player that you have that would've made the same sense for me that Blake did. I probably could've used you to drive up the bidding war in terms of squeezing better picks out of dsg (knowing full well that I wasn't going to deal with you, but just to put pressure on dsg), but sometimes that creates bad mojo and dsg and I have been making deals throughout the draft. Our text conversation throughout the draft is pretty interesting. lol

Hopefully this storm doesn't slow us down too much.

Hopefully this storm doesn't slow us down too much.

Isn't there some law in physics that says if we go any slower we would be moving backwards in time?

So how do ya'll feel about your drafts so far?
