We'll see. It's probably about 50/50 that Granville Waiters will get to me in 3 picks.

[TMACFORMVP]

If he's there, I'll definitely make sure to select him for you.

The Titans proudly select SF Tracy McGrady. T-Mac is a great perimeter, mid-range shooter, an amazing finisher, impressive ball handler, a decent defender and an outstanding team player to play in the back court with Steve Nash and Vince Carter. Vince Carter and T-Mac were thought to be the MJ-Scottie of the time they were together in Toronto Raptors. With the starters like the following,

PG - Steve Nash
SG - Vince Carter
SF - Tracy McGrady
PF - Charles Barkley
Cc - Tim Duncan

this team will be running the entire time with flashy dunks and amazing post up moves and a very competitive game overall. This team has only one attitude and that is to "Never Back Down". Everyone on the team knows who the Franchise is and everyone is there to win rather than care about the flashlight or super-stardom.

[TMACFORMVP]

McGrady was already selected.

[CellarDoor]

It's not difficult to find who was already selected, as such, we will continue picking at worst to the end of this round.

Well, I'll be available a few more hours but I was gonna try to PM you my picks just in case but it says I'm not authorized to send PM's. Why the heck would that be? I'm not sure if I've ever even sent a PM before.

^Users have never been able to PM other users, and for the moment you cant PM mods either.

If you haven't gotten another way to contact TMac, you can send your picks to me at

The Titans apologize for picking Tracy McGrady who we were not aware of being picked already. However, the Titans are more than happy to select SF Grant Hill from the years 1995-96 / 1996-97 / 1997-98. he almost averaged a double double each year and was very close to averaging triple doubles in the mentioned years.

t_mac_1123@hotmail.com just in case.

[Snakebites]

One pick in the last 8 hours.

Thats depressing.

[BIRDMAN BIRDMAN]

Sorry for the lack of time, had been busy today.

We proudly select Dwight Howard.

Him and CP3 along with the mentoring of Bill Russell will make him 10x better than he is now.

[vct33]

I'll take one of the best passing bigs in the history of the game, Chris Webber.

Let's speed this up...

[TMACFORMVP]

Auto picking for Warspite, as other posters have told me to do so, Warspite selects. .




Nate Thurmond

Figured there were no real SF's that had as much value as Thurmond this late in the 5th round. He's an all time great defender, and an all time great rebounder. He was the one whom both Kareem and Wilt mentioned as the toughest defender they've ever played against. With a big man rotation with the the likes of Moses/KG and Thurmond, there's no team that can claim as much inside defensive and rebounding dominance as Warspite's team.

He can change the pick if he'd like, apologize if this is not the pick.

[TMACFORMVP]

Selecting for BlackIce, they are pleased to select. . .



Dave Cowens!!

A terrific fit next to Hakeem and Hondo in the frontcourt. He was a C during his playing days, but in today's modern era, he'd be a PF, and had the quickness to defend the quicker PF's, and the strength to defend the bigger players. He was a scrapper, a hustler, an awesome defender, and had a very good mid-range shot. He's proven next to Hondo as a championship combo, and with Cowens upfront, it sets up BlackIce's team as one of the top defensive frontlines in the league.

PG - Kevin Johnson
SG - Mitch Richmond
SF - John Havlicek
PF - Dave Cowens
Cc - Hakeem Olajuwon

[TMACFORMVP]

With our own selection in the 2009 All-Time Draft, the Houston Rockets select . .



Elvin Hayes!!!

The "Big E," one of the greatest PF's to have ever played the game. Some point out the inefficiencies in his game, but people forget that once Hayes was traded to the Bullets and moved to his more natural PF position, all those critics "he's not a champion," or he's "inefficient," was proven wrong. On the Bullets, Hayes was not only arguably the best player on a championship team, but his efficiency sky rocketed, as he had one season over 50% from the floor, and two others over 45%, including one season near 49%. A huge improvement from earlier in his career when he was hovering around 41-42%. He's a proven elite defender, making All-NBA defensive teams throughout his career, and an elite shot-blocker, in all three seasons well over 2 blocks per game, one season being near 3 per game. His ability to play in the post, or hit his patented turn around mid-range jumper is a perfect fit on the inside with David Robinson. With both of them in the paint, we have two both sides of the floor players that can dominate on both ends.
