BaTATAS 1.0: DISCUSSION THREAD 1 - LOCK PLEASE!!!

[Skin]

Was hoping I could make my picks tonight, but I see that's not going to happen

I've been in tons of these kinds of drafts. It's my experience that if you shorten the time limit, people pay attention more and the pace goes smoother. At this rate, it's basically one pick a day if you're lucky.

So considering we have technically gone through 33 picks in just over 35 hours, I'd say we are looking pretty good.

...and I'd say you're right about that! It's just the nature of these things to seem like they are taking a long time as we wait. But this has been going smoothly.

[Skin]

I would send a list, but i'm here all day and i check the draft in intervals of every hour or two.

I wish you would check in more often so I can gaze at your avy more!

I could entertain the idea of moving down. I wouldn't want to move down far though.

Had the draft thread not been open early for the guys who wanted to make their who were ready and didn't wanna wait this would not be going quite the same, 33 picks in 35 hrs isn't quite exact.

I can understand though not sending in a list to a direct competitor as it may give them ideas as well.

Also I started pick Dirk.just to block him from pairing with Tim but I'm of the belief Tim would be more dangerous at PF though he is quite a dangerous C as is.

Thought he definitely woulda been picked up by the Shaq team though if not w Timmy.

That's why I said "technically"...since the clock didn't start until we'd at 8am.

Regardless, this is moving along nicely.

Unless you have two picks that are close together...I don't see how sending a list can give an advantage. Just be aware of who you are sending the list to. Find the person that wouldn't be a threat and send then a list of a couple people.

Lol way to be a douche man you said you wanted a third and 4th round pick that is what I proposed maybe you should be a little more specific instead of being a jerk

really bro. ur telling me the offer u sent was actually good to me from my view. yes u technically offered wat i wanted but Look at how Low ur picks are. the Difference in talent from 39 to 60 is Much bigger than from 61 to 93.

I am really am not gonna get into this again with another person I offered what you asked I am sorry you didn't like it I assumed that is wat u were looking to do but there was little need to call me out but I am done good luck with your draft

[Coaster80]

Jason Kidd was on my shortlist..

Good pick LBP.

Thanks man. I wanted to get a PG that would know how to get the ball to Hakeem in the right spots. You could argue that Jason is the best at that.

I also love the defense and the consistency over such a LONG period of time.

That is what you asked for though. You'd be moving from almost the start 3rd to the last of the 3rd, in exchange for moving from last in the 4th to 1st in the 4th and that's the gist of what you are asking to do. It could work depending on what players you are targeting.

Really hoping I can get my pick today.

OTC

[SOUL]

EArl should be picking shortly but I am off to bed. I don't have lists from anyone so it looks like we may have another skip to start the morning paired with a flurry of quick picks to start the day.

Be ready. Send a list.
