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

[Koponen]

Did Tension miss his second pick?

Nah, he traded it to The Sixer Fixer a little while ago. I'm editing it on the first page atm.

Gotcha. I'll make my pick whenever I can. I guess once Sixer Fixer and yours are up, or is there a time I should be mindful of? The overnight thing is a bit confusing.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how the overnight picking works right now. I'm thinking we can all discuss that later on today when the majority is online, and figure out the specifics on that matter. But yea man, feel free to make your pick whenever you're ready, after I'm done selecting mine. I guess we can push the time limit for your pick to 12 PM EST, although it shouldn't take you that long to make your selection lol.

With the 62nd pick in the 2012 Be The GM Draft, the Charlotte Bobcats (myself) select...



6'6" 205 lbs. - Manu Ginobili

[Koponen]

Very good pick, Trend. Was looking at Manu hard in this spot. But I'm happy because I get the man I was looking for:

The Trailblazers would like to welcome JRUUUUUE HOLLIDAY to Portland. His consistency from deep (underrated in our opinion), ability to draw defenders in the lane, and Cali-cool swagger will compliment Dwight nicely. 



I'm driving from Philly to North Carolina today (shoot me), so I can't haggle too much, but I'm interested in trading back up using my 4th and 5th. Any takers?

[KrazySixersD]

Just got up, about the Iggy thing: Yeah I was waiting on him to get drafted too. I picked Jefferson though, because I thought a big guy is best to draft asap. More good wing players out there than centers.

Makes sense. Wasn't trying to give anyone a hard time over it. I just found it funny how it worked out like that.

but doesnt this apply to REAL LIFE BBALL not just drafting of a team bball??

if this is true, which i agree with you that it is... then it applies to the SIXERS just as much as it applies to all of you building your teams

[Semaj]

Thanks broseph. Veddy happy that he fell to me this late.

Definitely looking forward to seeing the Jruth/D12 pick-n-roll. Gonna be an absolute killer.

I'm ghost for the morning. I'll be back on at around 1-2 PM to edit future picks/trades.

[KrazySixersD]

so tension is back up right?

[Semaj]

Yea, I'm going to give him until the afternoon to make his pick though. Pretty much everyone is sleep right now.

[mybestfiend]

I'd like to move down a bit into the mid 3rd. I have 3 guys that I'm targeting, and 3 picks before me. If they all go (which I honestly doubt they will, but just in case) I'll listen to trade offers.

[NBD23]

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

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"

Mine was Iggy vs Gay but the thing is money doesnt come into play with what we are doing here.

[NBD23]

3-7, 6-24 and 8-24 for 3-29, 5-29 and 6-2? I'd do that.

Sounds interesting but let me sit on that for a bit.

Still interested in this trade?

Sorry man I gotta pass. All of my specific targets are gone.

[mybestfiend]

Sorry man I gotta pass. All of my specific targets are gone.

That's fine, I don't feel comfortable trading down that far anymore anyway haha.

haha I guess that worked out for everyone. I have to come up with a new game plan now

[Tension]

Cant pass this one up, with my next pick i draft Tyreke Evans to fill out my backcourt. Injuries have plagued him but he still posted some good numbers last season. And as a 6'6 pg with a good all around game, hell have plenty of time to improve, his jumper specifically at age 22

[mybestfiend]

Dilbert, Mahorn, and then me.

Edit: At least one of my 3 guys will still be at my pick, but I'll still listen to offers for my 3rd. I'd like to move down into the middle of the round, something like my 3-7 and 7-7 for a mid 3rd and a 6th.

Great value with that pick. I was really hoping he would somehow slip through the cracks so I could grab him with me next pick

[ponder719]

tgo, I was sorely tempted to take Evans with my pick, had he not just gone, and force him in at SG, so I'm not sure he'd have made it through me anyway.

I do, however, have someone who was on my list, that I really like in this slot.

With the fifth pick in the third round of the All-Player Draft, the Washington Wizards select DeAndre Jordan, C, formerly of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Toronto Raptors are on the clock.

[NBD23]

Would either the owner of Surge Ibaka or JaVale McGee have any interest in making a trade?

[SavageBel]

Damn, Holiday gone. Lowry and Holiday gone.
Still two PG's I really like, hope they fall to me.

[PhilasFinest]

Mahorn at he 4 is on the clock, right? Until 1:00 pm est
