BAT 8.0 TRADE DISCUSSION (DRAFT IN OTHER THREAD) PART II

[br7knicks]

Wow i completely forgot about udrih. Would have taken him

lol i wanted Lopez

[LJ4pointplay]

Yeah pretty much right. I just realized that for the most part I built my team exactly like the Jazz would.

Fury, if you get concerned about your depth, Joe Johnson and plenty of depth available for Chris Paul..

[br7knicks]

with 263 OTC, and me having 264, i'm still looking to move 264 down with 324/334 for 2 picks between 275-295ish

[Knicksfan20]

PG-Mike Conley, Jr./Luke Ridnour
SG-Jeremy Lamb/ Vince Carter
SF-Wilson Chandler/ Corey Brewer
PF-Antawn Jamison/ Dejuan Blair
C-Dwight Howard/


Very good defensive starting lineup. I like Conley, hes an underated pg in my eyes and i was targeting him with my 3rd pick. He and Jeremy Lamb are a nice defensive back court. And both of them can hit the 3. Im a fan of Chandler, good mid range shooter, streaky 3pt shooter...good finisher. Good defender and shot blocker. Antawn is the perfect PF next to Dwight, really wish nobody mentioned how bad u needed one cuz i was targeting Antawn with my 190th pick.

Dwight is Dwight but has an injury concern. DPOY and dominant rebounder/finisher.

I like Luke off the bench, hes another shooter and a good play making pg. Pass first pg. Vince is a nice 6th man, and another shooter. Brewer had a decent year with Nuggets last season and he gives you an athleteic defender off the bench. Blair's a solid player, hes undersized bu the makes up for it with bulk/strength/hustle. Nice F off the bench.

You made 2 mistakes by drafting Lamb and Blair way to early. You could have had an even better squad which COULD have cost you a championship. You have a real lack of size up front. Blair and Antawn cant play center, and with Dwight not 100% recovered and probably wont be til next season, your going to have some issues with that.

I stlil think your a top 3 team in the east. Im glad im not in the east , because there are some tough teams in that conference. Good job recovering from 2 rookie blunders.

[br7knicks]

if i can't get a trade for 264, after i make the pick i wouldn't mind some critique

Not THAT concerned

[CANiLIVE]

Thanks man, I will probably get a back up c that has a ton of energy off the bench with my next few picks, there's not that many 4's that can hit the 3, I almost picked one that is still on the board glad I waited might pick him up with the last pick.

[WillyJakkz]

Rubio/Young/Kirilenko/Boozer/Kaman

This team reminds me of a blend of the old and new school Jazz (explanation):

Obviously Rubio is in his 2nd year and is not Stockton BUT he reminds me of Stockton in the sense that he's a pass 1st PG who'll defend minus the excellent shooting or hard/ illegal screens (lol) set by Stockton, nevertheless he seems to be on course to be one of the better pass 1st PG's in the League regardless of ACL injury, Nick Young is the shooter in the mold of Jeff Hornacek but definitely lacks the IQ of Hornacek but somewhat makes up for it w/ his athleticism, Kirlenko of course is Jazz Kirlenko, playmaker/ defender, Boozer is Boozer who'll be right at home w/ a PnR PG, while Kaman is a decent post defender/ scorer.

Bench mob is decent imo, no real complaints.

Here's the deficiency w/ your team besides not having that go to scorer, it's your coach Stan Van Gundy who has never been a PnR coach, he's strictly been 4 out 1 in and that just is not a good match w/ your team.


Overall good perennial playoff team who lacks a go to guy that would never win it all, basically just like the earlier Jazz teams.

Trade offers being considered.

Come on...let's keep this thing moving!!! Pick ya bastards, pick!!!!

we dont wanna ya wanker

[CoolKids]

Thanks Willy.

Denver Nuggets
Westbrook/Hinrich
JR SMith
Melo
Ibaka
Okafor/Oden

Wow a lot of talent. This team has a ton of offensive fire power with Melo Jr Westbrook and even Ibaka to an extent. I really like that it also has Ibaka and Okafor who should make points in the paint very hard to come by. Still kind of hard to evaluate with so many picks left. I might start hinrich at SG depending on who you fill the roster out with because I really dont like JR and Westbrook being on the floor together too often. JR is best served coming off the bench as the go to guy. Also I feel like Oden is a wasted roster spot/pick. The guy cant stay on the court regardless of the trainng staff. Im not concerned about him being worse as a player due to injuries but rather that he wont ever play again.

[Knicksfan20]

I could use a critique as well I also owe somone one, i forget who. I thikn Grinditout right?

Thanks coolkids!

I feel you and definitely respect all opinions, especially concerning Oden, I just got him cause as stated, not one single C left on the board has his upsde regardless of his injury history and please believe, this BaT has a 5 YEAR WINDOW, so I fully intend to use that time frame, even if it takes 2 more years (Okafor expires 2014) of Greg rehabbing w/ trainer Steve Hess and NOT PLAYING ONE SINGLE MINUTE if that's what it'd take to get Greg as even a 20min backup C for the rest of his career (which would hopefully be in Denver) but ultimately I would indeed like for him to replace Meka in 2 yrs.

Also believe me, behind the scenes I've been working the "phones" diligently w/ damn near every GM trying to switch this team around cause basically I have the OKC Thunder and I would like to show I could build something totally different.

jason smith wasn't picked was he?

by ur definition of Fair westbrook for Jennings would be considered fair or thats atleast wat i got from that BEYOND horrible offer.

[br7knicks]

i'm liking my team




i'm good for a critique now.

i was initially going to go with a pf/c i drafted much earlier last BAT, but i forgot about Smith. glad he fell this far.

[WillyJakkz]

Looking at some of these rosters I see a lotta "Mr. Scrooge" GM's.

This is what some GM's have spent:


Others have spent:


Blueninja's Payroll:


Start spendin' that money you cheap bastards!
