Be The GM 3.0: Write Ups Due Sunday (7/15/12)

[ponder719]

BRoy isn't eligible. The only players eligible for the draft are the draft class of 2012 and players who were on an NBA roster for at least one game this season. Former NBA players who spent this past season active in other leagues (looking at AI and Marbury types) aren't. Players drafted by NBA teams who have yet to come over (think Fran Vazquez here) are ineligible. BRoy, being retired, would certainly not be eligible.

[MasterP3]

With the 30th pick of the 11th round the Cleveland Cavaliers select...
Ryan Gomes


A solid SF imo, the Clippers don't let him play enough.

So Al Harrington is available for trades.
I would like scenarios like Harrington + one of my C's for a good C.
Or Jeff Teague + one of my C's or Al Harrington for a better PG.
Any interests.

I still high on Jrue!!!

[NBD23]

Let me get Jordan Hamilton and Johnny Flynn

[Semaj]

I'm going to start the clock at 5:00 PM since I don't think the new time limit was in play while I was asleep.

ALL PICKS WILL HAVE A 1 HOUR TIME LIMIT THROUGHOUT THE REST OF ROUND 12.

[mybestfiend]

Sweet, I'll get a pick in tonight.

[mybestfiend]

Since TSF and KSD have both missed picks, I am on the clock at 5, correct?

[mybestfiend]

With the 6th pick in the 12th round, the Orlando Magic select...



Evan Fournier, SG.

Fournier has shown a lot of potential in France and has the size to play the 3 if need be. He's a good late-round flier.

[ZarcMumoff]

Just to let you know Trend, my 28 pick in round 10 should be Derek Fisher.

[ZarcMumoff]

Might I also add, I f'n love my team. I really liked my team in the 3rd-5th rounds, but really feel like I filled out my bench perfectly. Terry, Hill, Collison, Fisher...those are guys I'm really happy with & moe than comfortable with ifone of my starters gets injured.

My apologies to those I didn't give my review on...just didn't have the time, currently.

[ZarcMumoff]

Also, we're gonna have to get some judges for this thing. We'll end up doing the poster poll, but I do want to find judges who are totally impartial. Will ask the Liberty Ballers guys, and a ton of other guys too.

[The Sixer Fixer]

The Altanta Hawks select two players with my missed picks (I assume we can have more than 12 players? - If not, just drop the second pick below). Sorry for the late picks!

Pick 11.7 - Reggie Williams - SG/SF - instant offense

Pick 12.4 - Bernard James - 27 yr old rookie out of Florida St. - defensive specialist

[SavageBel]

Hey guys, very sorry but as I said before this started: I'm leaving for Florence in the morning and won't be able to get on the internet till sundag at the earliest. If he would still be on the board I'd select Scalabrine with my 12 (29) pick as a good luck charm.

Yeah I really would have loved to follow the judging and team write-ups up close, but I just won't be able to go on the internet in the next few days.

[moefro44]

Could someone give an opinion on my team? I really want to know what other people think.

[phifans]

OKC Thunders selects Renardo Sidny and Henry Sims

[JrueMatic11]

Im guessing i missed my pick..

Brooklyn Nets final pick will be
PG Earl Watson

[ExplosionsInDaSky]

Could someone give an opinion on my team? I really want to know what other people think.

For what it's worth i'll give my input on your team,
It all starts with Anthony Davis and Noah... That will probably be the best defensive frontcourt in the NBA in a couple of years if they can stay healthy... I loved Davis and would have grabbed him with my second round pick had he been there. My only concern is where the points will come from in the frontcourt. Noah can score a little bit but Davis is very raw. Nonetheless that is a hell of a dynamic duo right away. Absolutely love that frontcourt now and for the future. Dejuan Blair off the bench brings toughness and rebounding...Plays with a chip on his shoulder and I love that. Amundson is another good hustle player as well.

James Jones and Josh Howard as your small forwards leaves a little to be desired... I have no doubt that Jones will stretch the floor for you but he doesn't do much else. Josh Howard is still a decent player but he's nowhere near who he was during his Dallas days. You really needed a scorer there.

Jordan Crawford and Iman Shumpert is a nice guard duo. Crawford reminds me of an explosive Aaron Mckie and I love Shumperts athletic ability (provided he can stay healthy). I think your shooting guards are a little underrated in my opinion. Crawford especially because the kid brings it every night on both ends. Both are very good defenders as well... Nice job picking them up.

In order for your team to score more than 85 points a night I think Brandon Jennings is going to have to be someone that shoots a ton of shots every night. I think he's capable of being a 30 ppg scorer but where do the assists come from? Who facilitates on your team? CJ Watson will give scoring off the bench as well but how effective will he be with Jennings playing close to 40 minutes a night? I really think Jennings makes or break your team and a lot of outcomes will be determined by how Jennings did on the floor that night.

Defensively I like your team, think it has a shot at being an elite defensive team. Brandon Jennings is an all star in the making and the frontcourt is shutdown lockdown rebounding B-ball savvy future all star as well.

Overall this team reminds me a lot of our own 2001 Sixer team, with Jennings being your Iverson, Crawford being your Mckie and so forth... A lot of nice complimentary pieces on your team but still a work in progress. Of course if Jennings can elevate his game to the level that Iverson was at then I think your team is contending in a couple years. Right now i'd say you are a playoff team already..Especially with that killer frontcourt.

I wont grade you but overall I really like what you did.... Good stuff man.

[moefro44]

Thanks for that man!

[Koponen]

Still looking to package Jrue Holiday or Isaiah Thomas with another starter for an upgrade. I'm open to any and all offers for them, though.

[CinciSixersFan]

So what picks are up and who is on the clock?

[shadester76]

LA Clippers select G John Jenkins out of Vanderbilt.
