Wouldn't be a BAT if Mecca didn't say he hated me at least once throughout the draft :lol:

J/K but I feel your pain, I've lost out on a couple guys already

I picked Kemba at 29 because I knew AmazingJason wouldn't pick both Embiid/Gobert, yet pooch cuts the line on me and I lose out.
Round 3, I work like a mad man for to move up, and Smash jumps me one pick before I'm up.

Me and Pooch when we set the plans in motion:

I miss old BAT. Don't like the last few which is why I've been away from discussion thread for the most part, unless I'm about to make a pick - even then I don't stick around long.

But I think I may come back and watch now lol. For the most part it's boring bickering. I wish I could set a bookmark on this thread so that, when it finally gets interesting instead of the earlier, boring bickering, I'd get a notification.

Clippers don't have 286 to trade...that trade doesn't work as is.

Also please PM me any trades. It's pretty difficult going through the discussion thread when I'm at work to keep the picks thread updated without getting an email saying I have a PM.

Nice recovery from Mecca...Dieng is pretty solid and the more reliable option, although Noel may have a little more upside if he can ever stay healthy and get consistent minutes

I saved him. If you knew the player he was thinking about instead.

Deing > Noel

INCOMPLETE TRADE

CLIPPERS GET SKIPPED AS PUNISHMENT

Wait he can make a trade with Mecca now

:eek2:

IllmaticHandler · Post #111 » by **IllmaticHandler** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 4:49 pm

I say let the trade go thru. Its prob just a typo. Send the correct pick.

Dieng was at least a tier above any other 5 left and was debating beforehand about making the risky pick vs. making the logical pick. Ill definitely kept me level headed.

Smash3 · Post #113 » by **Smash3** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 4:50 pm

It was supposed to be 289

He has a better offer on the table now

Post #115 » by **mpharris36** » Mon Jan 23, 2017 4:52 pm

it was probably 289 instead of 286...simple typo. I agree with ill keep the draft moving.

but I don't see how hard it is to PM bish the trades. Gotta follow the rules.

Pretty sure he told us to post the trades ourselves in order to keep the draft rolling though

I think Russel is great value and upside for this stage, but I don't like the idea of two young really young guys on a team I want contending -- that said, I'd love to hear offers for one of Russel or Towns to balance out ages.

(Wilson Chandler was my #1 choice for that pick by a mile BTW, good job to whoever snatched him)

I would love Ibaka

Not sure I see a fit because I'm going for a little more experience but feel free to make an offer

maybe continue to make picks but the picks thread is just for picks I believe not to announce trades. There have been 20 teams making deals first one to post in the thread. Just agree send you pic to the guy picking for you and then complete the trade after. I thought that was always how it was suppose to be done. Been doing it for the last 10 BAT's

Getting rid of on the clock trades would alleviate another issue.
