Be The GM 3.0: Write Ups Due Sunday (7/15/12)

[The Sixer Fixer]

SixerFixer...

No to 1 & 2. I think #3 would be okay.

Thanks, but I don't get why #2 is a no. A guy like Montijunas (sorry for name dropping), who is said to come over next year, can't be drafted, but we can draft a guy who has currently declared for the draft, but can still pull his name out and go back to college.

I get why international free agents like AK-47 can't be added since they don't really have an NBA team, but guys with NBA rights held should be eligible IMO if we can pick guys in this draft even though they have even less link to the NBA at this point.

That also means we could draft guys like Joel Freeland & Fran Vasquez...two guys I've never seen play basketball.

Yeah, but those aren't the types of guys I'm talking about. I'm talking about legitimate guys who are supposed to be in the NBA next year. I think there's only 2-4 guys at most. I think most know who they are. I wouldn't expect anyone to want guys like Vazquez since they may never be in the NBA and even if he does, he's likely yo be a scrub.

If that's the position we are taking, I will assume we can't draft the guys I'm referring to then.

Is there an up to date list of picks? This topic is getting to be long to follow. Love it, just hard to follow.

PhilasFinest - San Antonio Spurs is up. He has until 8:09 PM EST.

On deck...
23. JordanMars - Detroit Pistons
24. The Sixer Fixer - Atlanta Hawks (from Magic) *6* -
25. 76ciology - Chicago Bulls -
26. Dilbert719 - Washington Wizards
27. The Sixer Fixer - Golden state Warriors

I think those are all correct. The player selection is updated up to Bogut.

Sorry, I meant a list of taken players.

[Mahorn at the 4]

Ok, page 1. Will this be the updated draft board?

[PhilasFinest]

San Antonio Spurs will select,

F/G-Andre Iguodala

[The Sixer Fixer]

And there he goes. People drafted all the guys they wouldn't deal Andre for ahead if him. Gay, Ellis, Jefferson, Deng, Gasol, etc.

[KrazySixersD]

FINALLY I CAN SAY IT!!!!

all you people saying hell no to all these iguodala trades.... look at this ....

gay, granger, deng, al jefferson, ellis ALL TAKEN BEFORE AND SOME WAY BEFORE IGUODALA

absolutely hilarious to me

some of you dont want to trade him for anyone in this league...... yet when it comes to drafting players and building a team... all of those guys go ahead of him.... priceless

my pick came down to deng vs iggy. i took deng because a he's a yr younger, better shooter, and a bigger body. I would gladly trade iggy for deng, so i am not one of those "pple"

Haha yea I know. I thought the same thing.
I'm far from an iggy lover, but at 59, he's good value IMO. Him and Blake griffin will certainly make us an exciting team to watch in transition.

[mybestfiend]

Lol yep. Completely agreed.

[KrazySixersD]

can everyone put their players in their sig?

[shadester76]

LOL, I was trying to trade up for Iggy.

[ponder719]

Yeah, I wanted Iggy in the second, and am one who wouldn't trade him for those guys, but I've only picked Rose for the Wiz, and Iggy's not better than him. (And I'm doing something different with the Pacers he won't fit.)

[shadester76]

Anyone with a late 2nd looking to trade down?

[KrazySixersD]

its still funny regardless... obviously its not everyone opiinions... but its a large majority...

al jefferson went WAY before iggy, yet most on here are against that... not me ...

same with granger and gay and ellis... only deng was close to iggy

should tell us that when we arent being pulled as much by our favoritism for our players how we really rate him...

[moefro44]

About the whole Iguodala thing, all of the other players that you guys mentioned were picked in the 2nd round because none of them are go to guys on their team. If we traded for any of them than it would be a lateral move and not make us better. You create a void by filling one if you trade Iguodala for one of them, which is why I think a lot of us wouldn't trade him for one of them. I understand you're not going to get a superstar for him, but making a lateral move doesn't really help us.

Plus, all the other guys you mentioned may be better fits for people's teams then Iggy. The person that picked Jefferson already had Durant, so that's not a good fit for Iggy. The person that picked Ellis had Rondo and you could say that Iggy would be a good pick there, but that would mean you're first two picks aren't necessarily scoring threats. Those are just a few examples, but that's my opinion.

[mybestfiend]

JordanMars, you're up. You have until 8:50 EST.

[The Sixer Fixer]

How much time in between picks right now? I think the 1st page says 6 hours. Didn't we reduce that?

[mybestfiend]

3 hours.

[The Sixer Fixer]

Thanks - just want to make sure I don't jump the gun if JordanMars doesn't pick on time.

[76erStu]

i picked Deng 4 hours ago...the front page needs to be updated.
