[Rich2Hassan]

I was clicking refresh like it was an Ebay auction about to end.

As soon as mags released it...BAM!!!

Me too. My original staff before you and Magz took first dibs was Ewing & Budenholzer.

I got Budenholzer. Im confused.

How Do we do salaries btw? Minimum for all?

[ctorres]

As far as I know, magnumt picked up Patrick Ewing the player, who was recently signed by the Knicks. I see no specification on Patrick Ewing the assistant coach.

[moocow007]

Guys that have been selected multiple times and who the original "picker" was:

Patrick Ewing - mags
Tim Grgurich (there's a 'h') - moocow
Mike Budenholzer - IamRa

Guys that were already taken in the 1st 13 rounds (but selected here):

Willie Warren
---

Anyone who picked the 3 assistants above that were not first, would suggest you repick asap.

GallosOurFuture - Willie Warren was selected already in the 13th round...pick someone else if you want.

Could be but his first 3 guys are all players and he didn't include the "Jr" so...

I hit refresh like 30 times. I thought maybe Magz would open it at 9:55AM.

[I am Ra]

Yes you got Budenholzer.

Cool.

And do you know what the salaries of these players are?

[magnumt]

@Ra: Staff Salaries don`t count

@Moo: I know right. I was doing it all from my phone. Ewing will be the PERFECT mentor for my Bigs, especially a fellow Hoya in Greg Monroe. Eddie Jordan will be perfect since he know`s Lawrence Franks Princeton Motion Offense to the "T" .

I sent you a PM. Or to be on the safe side, should I send one to The other two mods as well?

[magnumt]

@Smoke: Yes

[magnumt]

On my phone still, but yes u can take him Smoke (that`s what my `Yes` above meant).

@Ra: I`ll let U know later when back near a PC.

HEAT additions...

Players:

Tim Thomas - provides the team with a veteran shooter who can play both forward positions. Not the same player he was athletically but has become an extremely good deep threat. If not on the IL, he will be looked upon to expand the floor and hit 3's as a situational player. Resigned with the Mavericks to a veteran minimum contract (the first time in a long time where he doesn't carry a real big contract).

Marquis Daniels - a tough, strong, athletic and versatile veteran guard that has had success in the NBA, can defend multiple positions and be relied upon to provide some offense off the bench if he's not on the IL. Defense, versatility and toughness will be areas we look for Daniels to contribute in. But in case of an injury to other players in the rotation (especially starters), Daniels has shown he can play and produce in major minutes in the NBA. Resigned to an extremely reasonable 2 year $2.5 million contract.

Sherron Collins - undrafted but recently signed a 2 year non-guaranteed contract (the best kind) as an undrafted free agent. A super tough and extremely high IQ floor general. Worked extremely hard on his conditioning over the summer and showed up at combines and workouts with a much talked about "6 pack abs". A great floor general for the Kansas Jayhawks, Collins is a winner, a guy with great confidence in his ability and plenty of physical strength and fight to make up for his lack of height and elite ahtleticism. Also an extremely good 3 point shooter for his position. Ended Summer League play on a tear with a 32 point game where he shot 7-11 from NBA 3 point range. A 4 year college player who played under one of the best programs in college basketball, Collins has a chance to work his way into the rotation and gives the Heat another ball handler if the need arises as well as a potential potent backup at the point down the road (with Arroyo only signed through this season).

Assistant Coaches:

Terry Porter - a former NBA head coach and one of the toughest players of his generation, Porter will be the top assistant coach for the Heat. His no nonsense personality will add an element to the team, setting the ground work for toughness and defensive focus for a team that is obviously offensively potent.

Tim Grgurich - Widely credited with being perhaps the best assistant in the NBA in working with young players to get them ready for the NBA grind, Grgurich's task will be taking on the many young talents the Heat has (George, Ebanks, Mahinmi, Aldridge, Ibaka, Bayless and Collins) and working with them to make sure that their physicality, conditioning and focus are NBA ready. For guys like Paul George, Devin Ebanks and Ian Mahinmi especially, we expect Grgurich to do wonders for them and allow them to contribute significantly in the Heat's title aspirations.

[Im Coming Home]

Wizards:
Sergio Rodriguez - 3rd string point guard, on the IR.
Paulo Prestes - IR
Rodney Carney - IR

Asst. Coaches
Hakeen Olajuwon - Big man coach
Tyrone Corbin

Thoughts?

[TheBluest]

I'm happy to get my IR guys as I feel they for one can crack a 10 man rotation for sure but more importantly......


Petro = 24yrs
Summer = 22yrs
Eyenga = 21yrs


I stayed YOUNG MONEY. Sorry for editing my post. I left out my TEAM name and some punctuation(like I normally do lol) in my original post.

Yeah I saw that too. They should get first dibs since they put in the work for this though.
