Summer Fun- free-for-all, make your final picks now

[Thaliontil]

that has to be the most dysfunctional team ever assembled. makes the 2000 jailblazers look like the curry family reunion. you sure you dont want to trade david lee for zach randolph?

The dysfunctional part will be solved with my next pick.

Are you thinking in picking a cop to be your coach ?

[Takuya Kimura]

Jaruff is skipped,ball teacher can pick now.

[fatlever]

[Walt Cronkite]

2nd round guy: Marcus Thornton

Does Corey Maggette count as a Journeyman? Orl/LAC/GSW/MIL this season?

[Jaruff]

With my next pick, I select Gregg Popovich as my coach. Air Force veteran, brilliant basketball mind, and he doesn't take crap. Perfect coach for my dysfunctional lineup.

[Takuya Kimura]

Walt,the word on the first post is "playED for 4 teams",so on principle Maggs shouldnt count,but considering how much you missed,I'll personally let this slide,well this is just my opinion,let's hear what everyone says.

[ball teacher]

Welcome back Walt, I don't think he would count because he hasn't played for the 4th team yet. But you may want to wait for another answer.

[Walt Cronkite]

hmm, I ask because someone took Beasley as a Beast of the Least, which to me was for the worst team from both conferences last season, but I don't really care.

I'll take Larry Brown as my other pick.

[Paydro70]

Wait, Beasley got taken in Beast of the Least? Everything in this draft is supposed to be based on what the player did up until this point. Hence the birthday limit on 35+, journeyman was supposed to be 4 teams before this year, no playoffs is 4 years before this one, etc. So Beasley needs a new category and I don't think Maggs counts as journeyman either.

[Takuya Kimura]

The problem is that the past tense is so clear in the Journeyman description,while BOTL says NJN or MIN player,it must have confused some of the drafters.

Also,I will be gone the whole next day looking for my public exam results,both my picks will be made by Slam,cheers

[fatlever]

i interpreted journeyman as having already played for 4 teams. i interpreted beast of least as current nets/wolves player. i had beasley on my list of players for that category. its not like beasley is a difference maker anyway. i also had their rookies on my list - favors and the dude from syracuse.

[amcoolio]

Someone put my Hedo under Euro, when I said to put him under Journeyman (SAC, SAS, ORL, TOR)



With my next pick, I'm taking the king of cool, and I can;t believe two other coaches were selected before him, Phil Jackson.

Owner: amcoolio
Coach: Phil Jackson

PG: Devin Harris / Darren Collison
SG: Joe Johnson
SF: Paul Pierce / Hedo Turkoglu
PF: Kevin Garnett / Paul Millsap
C: Derrick Favors / Troy Murphy

This has champsionship team written all over it, and I picked 10th out of 12!

[BigSlam]

I'm going to move Josh Smith from my Non All Star Cat into my Non Euro (never played NCAA Ball) cat.

Then with my Non All Star selection, I will be taking Greg Oden.

Team Slam
PG: Kidd - Jose
SG: Crawf – Carter
SF: Crash – JRich
PF: Smoove – Landry
C: B.Lopez – Oden

[fatlever]

wait... WHAT!!! is that legal?

[fatlever]

i'm taking wesley matthews with my 2009 2nd round or undrafted selection.

[BigSlam]

wait... WHAT!!! is that legal?

Smith is a Non Euro who hasn't played NCAA ball - so sure, why not?!?!



Or do you mean that selecting Oden in one cat is not legal because thanks to his internet pics we all know he should be in one cat and his schlong should be in a cat all of it's own?

[Fred Williamson]

sorry coolio, but this is the team to beat:

Deron Williams/
Stephen Jackson/OJ Mayo
Danny Granger/Danilo Gallinari
Lamar Odom/Ben Wallace
Chris Kaman/Brenden Haywood

[Stun704]

Since coaches are being picked now i'ma pick the best one available... Mike Krzyzewski


Stun704
Knucklehead (Been arrested)
European (No NCAA ball)
Non-European International (No NCAA ball) - Goran Dragic
Former College Senior- Shane Battier
Allstar - Rajon Rondo
Non-Allstar - Kevin Martin
Drafted 2010 Rookie - Paul George
2nd rd/Undrafted 2009/10 Draft
White American - Robin Lopez
35+ - Shaq O'Neal
Journeyman
No known/visible tattoos - Al Jefferson
Beast of the Least - Michael Beasley
Never Been to Playoffs
Over/Undersized
Coach - Mike Krzyzewski
NBA Cheerleader/Wife/Girlfriend of NBA player

IMO this is the squad to beat
Coach - Mike Krzyzewski

Rajon Rondo/Grogan Dragic
Kevin Martin/
Shane Battier/Paul George
Al Jefferson/Michael Beasley
Robin Lopez/Shaq Oneal

a team with a balanced attack, and with no clear superstar (except rondo which is the PG) that can share the ball, but if need be has a player in the starting lineup that can go for 40, (kevin martin)... and has a 2 lock down defender that can shutdown the opponents best swing man... and has 2 Big men that can guards the likes of Andrew Bogut, and Dwight Howard one on one, without getting into foul trouble, Al Jef & Shaq... and also has legit post threats.. that can go 20 and 10.

[ball teacher]

Smith is a Non Euro who hasn't played NCAA ball - so sure, why not?!?!

Slam, it has to be a non European INTERNATIONAL with no college. So the player could be from Africa, China, Canada etc. but not America. Josh Smith is from Atlanta Georgia with a southern accent and all!
