That moment when you receive multiple trade offers for your player after he was bashed in the discussion thread. :lol:

I have remi's board, but he told me he was trading the pick, so I don't wanna make his pick and sabotage him if he dealt it. He hasn't responded to me on twitter

Goodnight all. I tried to stay up but my eyes are closing. Hopefully my guy will drop and I can take him tomorrow.

This is frowned upon in BAT

This thing gets very boring without me here.

Maybe I should pick on JustCame for having that 2nd best player from 16.0 picked in the 80s

Why the hell people are this desperate for making trades? Especially on the clock, just pick, I dont get it, are we trying to find the best trade that ever made?

Fan of what essentially became that Ryno for Marvin WIlliams deal between Remi and br7 for both teams...

Ryno is going to be a great spreading that floor in the catch and shoot while Westbrook is in attack mode. And I really like the forward pairing with Harrison Barnes, who can also guard opposing PF's when needed and at the end of ball games in the defense/offense substitutions.

For br7...I wasn't a fan of the Ryno selection. I like Ryno and what he brings to the table. He's got an elite skillset, which is very important in this competition and today's NBA in general. BUT...in a division that features LeBron/Melo/HBarnes, Ryno would have been game-planned against and abused defensively. Marvin Williams provides much of the same catch and shoot ability, spacing the floor for CP3/Howard...but he can also defend the position. There are a TON of solid 4's in the Eastern Conference...not just LeBron/Melo/HBarnes...you have guys like AD, Durant who will get time there, Love, Randle and a few others I'm forgeting off the top of my head. In my opinion it was the better play for br7...so kudos for getting it done.

Yet he still won. You better put some respek JustCame's name. Dude is still the reigning champ.

I appreciate how much in-depth logical analysis you're putting into this.

Appreciate it brother...

I want everyone to understand that I will be taking everything into consideration while I begin the judging process. Part of that is actively participating in the discussion and picks thread to see what the GM is thinking as he forms his/her squad. Knowing who was available at the time of selection, seeing who the eventual selection becomes, why one traded out or traded up to acquire that pick, gives me solid insight and a one up as to already knowing the process and direction behind these rosters before I have to even read the "pimp" posts.

Also, I judge every player according to strengths and weaknesses they possess, and while there is always bias towards certain styles or certain players, I understand that every player (no matter what the "consensus" is in many situations) can contribute when in the right situation surrounded by the right types of players / complimentary talents / and personalities.

So just come to me with a finalized roster that is clean...but most importantly, one with an identity.
