I might be interested in offering up my 5th but it's not quite mid. I'd want to expand the trade to 3 pick swap. This would be contingent the guy I really want is off the board at 5.


Keep me posted Blu, you've got the email addy now.

First I want to say thanks to the group of guys who made their picks (or emailed them to the appropriate individuals to make picks on their behalf) for keeping the ball rolling and stringing of a good number in a row. This is how you GM and how you give the draft some continuity! Great job fellas.

Secondly, If anyone is interested in trading down out of an upcoming spot please email me asap lifeillz@gmail.com because their is a specific player that I am targeting.

Additionally, I was really hoping Mo Williams dropped to me and I'm disappointed that I will not have him on my team to share the PG duties with Ricky Rubio. I felt Williams was the perfect veteran PG who'd be willing to sacrifice for the greater good of the team and come off the bench as a jumpshooting combo guard (offsetting Rubio's inconsistent jumper) while getting starters minutes backing up the PG/SG spots. My heart is broken.

Thanks in advance

Haha my bad, bro. I needed a PG and I felt he was perfect because he can play off the ball. I had a few options at PG, and at SF but decided to hold off there because it's very deep, but I went with my gut. Looking at my team though, my starting backcourt or JJ and Mo both played terribly in the playoffs last year lol and my PF/C combo of Al Jefferson and Troy Murphy is unproven in the playoffs. I'm definitely going to need some strong vets...if you are really interested in Mo though, I'd be wiling to listen to trade offers...not saying I would definitely do anything, but you never know.

There is a guy still on the board that I'm kind of surprised is still there. I was seriously considering this person, but I ended up going in a different direction.

Maybe he'll be there the next time I pick. :lol: Yeah right...

He is an excellent pick for you because in the backcourt teaming up with JJ he doesn't have to handle the rock as much with JJ beign such a ball-dominant SG and as you say he can play off the ball really allowing him to stroke that jumper. However, you are right...you will need a strong veteran bench to give you some playoff grittiness and enhance your clutch-factor.

Miami has a 4th pick (115th overall) up for trade to move up in the same round. We can package that with a 5th or 6th depending on what the second piece is.

It'll alert my phone and I can get to a computer to make my pick. I'd email someone my pick now but there's still too many picks to go and I can't be sure.


Did anyone email blind_ and let him know his pick is on the clock?

I'm very excited that me and my comrad LeBron2NY2010 got the two guys we wanted!

Flynn has the best combination of current ability, talent, and upside for a point guard. It's why we wanted him over Baron Davis, Andre Miller, and Mo Williams.

Lewis may be expensive, but not only was he the best offensive talent available at SF, but his shooting and height at the 3 spot was the best compliment to Boozer and Gasol down low.

The four players among our roster currently amount to $41.6 million, which isn't bad so far. Luxury tax for this year is set at $70.3 million, which me may manage to work under, unless certain players come up in the draft that we just can't turn down.

Flynn's recent injury may slow his speed down, and he may not be ready for Training Camp 100%.
