Do my eyes deceive that a player has yet to be drafted

I'm wit' you on that, I'm not trading at all, I'm drafting exactly who I have an idea of who fits my team mold and who I expect or at least the type of player I want at certain positions and PRAY they're there lol but man...

Never tip your hand!

Doc is who I initially was gonna build my team around btw, ultimately came down to jumpshooting percentage/ ability being the deciding factor.

Seriously this is really gonna be a problem if we only do 3 picks a day we are gonna be here till Christmas this needs to go faster

^ Agree w you also, 6hrs to keep peeps interest is a long time when they have yet to draft one single player but I understand why it's a 6hr limit.

4hrs probably woulda been more ideal for this type of game.

lol yea I know I screwed up there bigtime. Definitely understand the KD choice...like you said its who you wanted for your team, not who you thought could get most return in a trade. I would like to play in one where that wasn't a part of it...especially in an all time draft where you should be picking your personal dream team.

Btw everyone..my pick was made like 20 mins ago..emailed the next dude already. Took just under 2 hrs because I was trying to nab a different player in a trade with this pick.

I didn't think it would happen but I was praying he would fall to 35. He would be great with Hakeem.

Yeah, I thought he would have lasted a few spots longer.

It'll be interesting to see how SOUL builds around Pippen. That one season without Jordan proved he can be a franchise type player.

There were a couple of people i considered there, but as for the position, i liked pippen the best as he could defend and he is an all around offensive player and i figured in 4 more picks i'd have somebody of comparable skill (or they may drop to me)

Grinditout · Post #351 » by **Grinditout** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:03 am

I'm seeing another Kobe situation developing.

CoolKids · Post #352 » by **CoolKids** » Thu Jul 18, 2013 3:07 am

I wanted pippen to last to 21

I was thinking he'd go anywhere between 20-25.

Nice Zeke pick by the way.

Yea true...I got the guy I originally planned on until my last final decision on Dr J.

For people with upcoming picks that dont want to be skipped, be sure to leave it with someone.
