[Build A Team 4.0] Discussion Thread

Attention:

105. Memphis Grizzlies -
106. Utah Jazz -
107. Milwaukee Bucks -
108. Denver Nuggets -
109. Phoenix Suns -
110. Boston Celtics -

The Sacramento Kings select 112 in the draft, and are actively looking to leapfrog the Spurs, and move up at least 1 slot. My aim is xxakiakixx and email is xxakiakixx@aim.com

Shoot me an offer... I'm sure we can work something out.

Why are you so dead set on leapfrogging bish? Too much back and forth (in chat?) and now you know who he wants and he knows who you want...and it happens to be the same guy?

Nope... Haven't spoken to bish. Look at the positions we both have filled, and look at the positions we both need. I don't want to give it away... but I think you get the picture.

And Memphis, Utah and Milwaukee can't trade with you to help you move up. The first two already picked and the Bucks can't trade the pick (and the commissioner's office will look into any trades between the two teams after the fact for the player picked...ie...no picking for the other guy and then trading him later...that also counts as trading the pick that is on the board).

Just in case.

Oh I think I have an idea who you guys are both after (I got the same hole).

Well, I was just quoting a previous post.... My post still applies to the Nuggets, Suns, and C's...

I'm really liking NYSOM's roster right now. Very good defensive team.

[NYStateofMind]

Come on NYSOM...pick already.

Damn tough crowd, a WHOLE hour and a half went by! I've waited much longer than that for most of the picks in this thing. Besides, I would have had it right away if it weren't for my phone dying:

God damnit I'm sitting on the beach in Southampton watching over the draft all day and right when it gets to my pick my phone dies. Just my luck. I forced my group to hurry back so I could get back in the loop. Sorry guys. Just got back.

NYSOM you're doing a much better job with Garnett and Gasol than I did. Now I know I gave up way too much to get Garnett in the 1st round.

[Th3TrueDynesty]

Thanks for making my pick 2k2. I wasn't going to be able to get to a computer in time.

AYOKNICK! Before you make your pick, Miami has an offer for you. What is your email address?

[I am Ra]

Evan Turner is available for a big man.

Thanks man! I'm trying to get quality players on both sides of the ball that can compete now.

Not just saying this to be reciprocal, I'm definitely a fan of the shape of your team so far. I was gonna say this before but figured I'd wait to see how your fourth pick came out. That's gonna be a big pick in helping shape the identity of that squad. Keep up the good work, man!

NYSOM you're doing a much better job with Garnett and Gasol than I did. Now I know I gave up way too much to get Garnett in the 1st round.

Thanks, blind. Looking through the last BAT draft, I was wondering what you traded to get him. I think the only difference is I wasn't looking for him, I just felt he was the BPA at 47 and was happy he fell to me in the second. But your taking him in the first of the last BAT definitely helped make the decision easier, so thanks for that! This time around I think you're doing a fine job. Your front court is absolutely dirty this BAT and you've got two quality, high bball IQ guys in the backcourt too. Good luck the rest of the way!

I'm working on a 4 teamer Blockbuster. Let's really change this B.A.T. into something bananas by completing a 4 team trade. I need you and Mags to be willing to include a latter pick(anywhere from 11-13) to potentially make this worthwhile...

Teams involved

Bobcats
Mavericks
Thunder
Knicks

I'll listen. PM me.

Hornets looking to deal for a Center.

[NYStateofMind]

Just want to remind everyone about the existence of the Google Doc Spreadsheet. blind_ has said that it started glitching towards the end of the last BAT, but right now it's functioning just fine. It's a good way to keep track of everyone's rosters and salaries.

Here's the link once again: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key ... 7-YL#gid=0

Remember, anyone can edit it, but let me know if there's a mistake for your team that you'd prefer me to fix. Hope this helps!

This team is completely different from my previous Build A Team, team. Last time I went with a veteran defensive team, completely ignoring that the coach matters. I was torn between three players, but at the end I chose Wes Johnson. With Z-Bo and Wes, I have two players that will be able to space the floor for Oden and Rose. I wasn't sold on my team after the first two picks, but I like the direction I'm headed in now. I have a defensive presence up front, some low post scorers, a top 5 point guard, and a small forward that should at the very least be as good as Shawn Marion in his prime.
