Yea, I think it'd be fun if people gave their top 5 or top 10 teams so far. We did that last year & we got some GREAT debates out of it.

Knicks...

Your frontcourt is great. Chris Bosh is still one of the best PFs in the game, IMO. Unfortunately, he's playing 3rd fiddle down in South Beach and isn't being used correctly (jump shooter on catch-and-shoots...really KG would fit better than Bosh). He's really a good player in the post whether it's a turnaround or hook; or even beating a man with his quickness...he's at his best in the post. Add in Andrew Bogut, potentiall the most underrated player, and ou have quite the frontcourt. Problem with Bogut is he's always injured, otherwise he would of been a top 20 pick. All about the health with him.

Like most in this game, you had to choose where your strengths and weakness are. You chose your frontcourt to be the strength so your backcourt isn't too strong. Average is the word that comes to mind. All the players all 10-14 PPG in the league, but they do fit nicely. Conley and Dudley are good three point shooters cancelling out ET's lack of a jumper. Conley isn't a terrific passer, but having ET eases that flaw. Dudley doesn't need the ball, compared to ET who does. So you really did have a nice fit. Obviously, though the only problem is you won't have that go-to scorer. Could Ben Gordon be that? Tough to say. He showed he could do it in Chicago, but he seems to have lost a step from his Bulls days. Never saw Gerald Green circa 2011/2012 play to give much of an opinion, but he's athletic as **** and can shoot the three.

Lastly, you have a good defensive team. Conley isn't too bad. ET and Dudley are above-average. I think Bosh is better than given credit for, and Bogut is very good too. So even though you won't score too much, you'll at least be able to d-up.

JMO, but from the past BTGs, you're really improving. You put together a solid team, even though you were stuck with a later pick.

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate your opinion. I know I lack a go to scorer so i tried to make sure i got good defenders and a deep bench lol...

After reading your thoughts on my team i looked down to see your team and i gotta say, the team you built matches up perfectly with mine but you have a major piece that I lack and thats a legit go to scorer. Melo gives you an advantage over mine as of right now depending on your starting 2 and your bench. If you want me to take a more detailed look at your team just let me know

Would love to hear feedback on the Lake Show and/or Celts

Tgo is Green someone who might be available?

Yes, he is

[Numb3rs]

I'm open to moving Ross, Budinger and I've got a pick at the start of the 8th round. Interested in any of those?

[tgo2223]

Let me think about it for a bit

Like what you've done with the Celtics, while they lack a legitimate "star" you've still done a good job putting some nice pieces together. Really like Dragic as a point guard, and Matthews and Bayless nice, however you might need to add a few more defensive pieces, they are the Celtics after all.

Not quite sold on your Lakers yet though. While overall they are probably a better team, just not sold on how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. Really like the Pierce and Westbrook combo, hometown guys too, and while Boozer completes the "big three" I'm just not sure about Brown and Seraphin. Probably need to add a bit more perimeter shooting to that line-up, I think teams would be happy to camp in the paint and let Westbrook and Pierce chuck threes. I'm a supporter of Thad but believe he is purely a PF. Potential to be a really good team, just needs a few tweaks in my opinion.

I really didn't want to give up much so it's probably not going to be worth your time...

Im considering Chase+ the pick if thats what your willing to part with. I just wanna see if one of my two guys fall to where the pick is...

But if u have another deal on the table dont let me hold you up

No prob. This can always be revisited later if your still interested

[CinciSixersFan]

The Lakers are looking to move up here, would move Thad Young here for a pick and a starting SG with range. We went bpa all draft but as recently pointed out do have some pieces that could be adjusted

Sixers Fixer and Atlanta what about your pick this round, Lee for Young and a 10th? Young could start on your team and add youth and athleticism

Interesting article about one of the guys from the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference and team fit;

[Semaj]

Yep.

[moefro44]

i had my eye on this guy for a little bit and i'm glad i can pick him now, i feel its good value. i need a spark off my bench so i am going to take G Jordan Crawford.
