BAT 8.0 TRADE DISCUSSION (DRAFT STARTED IN OTHER THREAD)

[br7knicks]

according to list, 150 and 151 are owned by clippers. they don't get 12 hours correct? they get 6 hours to make both picks, right?

to that, 152 is then on the click, which is owned by the knicks

After 150, the picks are every 4 hours right?

Can I suggest time stoppage during night time. Like 12-7 the clock can be is frozen?

156 is on the block

i agree. we should take a vote and see what the majority of the GM's want.



i'm going mud wrestling/volleyball.

i may not have internet service for a while. does anyone know if the clippers are around to make their pick? i believe they're on the clock now

[LJ4pointplay]

4 hours is good.. Omer Asik remains on the block btw..

br7 u got seraphin last draft too. He is a good young player I just don't know if he is the right player for your squard. You got a lot of offensive weapons i just think you lack defense.

[mpharris36]

also br u can send me your picks. I will be aroound and don't have a pick in the next 20.

Thoughts on my Isaiah thomas pick? Im sure ill get the "you shoulda drafted eddy curry" response...But i felt that Thomas was the best fit for my team.

I needed a quick guard who can score in transition. I kinda have a slower team without Thomas, i needed some speed. Not only that, Isiah is also a pretty good player and point guard. Hes mature, and has leadership skills.

averaged 15 5.4 3 1 spg as a starter. Shot 40% from 3 and 48% from the field in 33 games starting. Preetty damn impressive. I watched a few of his games and i was really impressed by him as a player and as a man.

Should i have gone with a vet? I honestly dont think so, if this was real life, i would have made the same choice for my Starting PG.

you have a very win-nowish look to your team. You are putting a lot of pressure on isiah thomas to become a really good PG.

he showed a lot of potential last year but that should be an interesting transition from a terrible kings team for a team like yours that should be competing in the playoffs.

this is already slow enough and you want to only 17 hours per day to draft?

156 is on the block... doesnt hesitate to offer...

I mean if you're ready to pick during the night time you can. It's similar to how we actually started the draft, when people were making picks sunday but the clock didn't actually start until 12PM the following monday.

[mpharris36]

kneega also can't say i agree with the trade u made. I thought splitter made a great fit with your team. Good pick and role big with harden.

if you know you are on deck or in the hole that is why you just gotta email you pick to someone else. There is only a small window for your pick to actually get skipped if you check right before you go to bed and right when u wake up

It was a tuff decision bro... I cant argue your opinion. I just felt the opportunity to get my depth back (including what 156 will bring) was more of a need...

And yes 156 is on the clock...

Fair enough, although I do remember implementing something like this during 7.0

But perhaps it was during the later rounds when everyone only had 2 hours to pick.

yeah but if you look at it then why did you make the trade with me?

it was basically

156 and 233

for

171 and 193

if you look at it like that

when it gets 2 hrs per pick i would totally agree. maybe 12-6 window where you can pick but there is on running clock.

2 hours your pick got get skipped 2-3 times

right now i don't see it as an issue

sure mp, you can look at it that way... However, I made a mistake in trading depth for a very good player that if you think about it wasnt needed as much as the depth was. And sometimes you make a trade and then unexpected thing shappen in the draft and you have to make a gear change. That's life... You think I wanted to take Chalmers at 130? I didn't but they way some of these picks went there was a strong chance that he would have been taken... Dealing/trading/ etc can't be made in a vaccum mp...
