Worst decision you've ever made?
Mine comes from this past draft. In the 10th round, OJ Mayo was still on the board and I drafted Jameer Nelson. Anything as bad?
btw, this can be from the draft, trade or waivers.

-Take Gilbert Arenas in the 2nd round, even though I knew he wont be back until mid December. Should be able to get him in 4th round as well.
-Need a center. Take Darko Milicic insteadl of Marc Gasol. I think I made that up by taking Udonis Haslem in the last round. He just got his center eligibility today. Making the pick even sweeter.

Re: Worst decision you've ever made?
I suppose it'd be not adding certain players off waivers during the season. Last year I really regretted taking KG #1 overall. It's hard to complain about a terrible decision in the late round of drafts, it's really a crapshoot at that point.

Check out Jameer's performance last night. In 35 minutes played, he was 6-12 from the field (1-4 from 3-point land) and 3-3 from the line.
16 PTS 4 REB 9 AST 2 STL 3 TO.
That better than his first few games. I know Mayo's scoring, especially his 3-point touch, is outstanding for a rookie. I don't think taking Jameer over Mayo is a huge bad move, Mayo is in a tough Western conference and is in for a long season with Memphis.
For worst decision, I guess that would be dropping Ben Gordon a couple of years ago because he lost his starting job. Imagine my surprise when his production went up coming off the bench for the Bulls.

Re: Worst decision you've ever made?
ok i just really like kg beacuse i think he's a more consistent player than amare and he can put up more steals and blocks, but i dont know, i think it was a bad decision. also nash over dwight?? dropping rudy fernandez for milsap?? i can make a case for every one, but right now it's looking like pretty bad decisions.

I pretty much have Roger Mason Jr. replacing Nelson which isn't impressive at all.

Re: Worst decision you've ever made?
Last year, when i pick gasol in the first round. i almost forget that decision. Also, you have to add i picked Kevin durant, i was expecting something more from him.
this year? well, i could say i risk a bit with the monta ellis pick, he fell really late in my draft and i took him, i can wait till december but im not sure how he'll play

Taking Granger over KG in the first round.

Sike, that's working out great.
But seriously, taking Devin Harris in the 4th Round hasn't yielded the returns I was hoping for. It's early, though.
And I think I took Kirilenko in the 2nd Round the year his production dropped off a cliff...whatever year that was.
Okafor has burned me a couple times, both through trades and the draft.

some_rand, how come you didn't return to the raptors realgm league from last season. i remember that cp3 pick--it was a steal.
One great pick I made was two seasons ago: I drafted Deron Williams in the last round and we know the rest of the story.
But I want to focus on the terrible decisions that we've made!

CP3 at 20..................same league in which Jason Kidd went #1 overall.
I won't leech who the GM was............unless he comes here and admits it himself.

Re: Worst decision you've ever made?
I made my pre-draft list last season when I accidentally put Marc Gasol instead of Pau Gasol. Not to mention it was during the 3rd round
