Simmons was excellent value for you once again, and LeBron would love him. I would've taken him at 217.

Yeah, I love LeVert. I wanted to get a secondary playmaker with Kemba and when I couldn't get Batum, I thought Livingston/LeVert can play the same role.

How are you going to sidestep:

We have two franchise players. We have a team of competitors, this is a no rat zone.


You have jack sh*y bro.

I'm sorry. You know I love ya, but just a week ago Lowery was leading the Raps to 5 straight losses (landing them BEHIND the Celtics now :o ), and let's be real that team is now in Derozan's hands. The Pacers are BARELY hanging on to a Playoff spot thanks to your almighty "Franchise" player Paul George ( :rofl: ), and the rest of your team is currently non-existent. ;)

--Mags


These short dry spells don´t matter, at the end of the day you can´t spell beast without Lowry and George 8-)


Doesn't matter?! :crazy:

First you said the 4th Quarter doesn't matter, now dry spells don't?! :-?

Not paying attention to those things is how you:

- Lose Home Court
- Miss the Playoffs
- Get traded

Actually Lowey & George spell overrated. :dontknow:

I had LeVert atop my board for my last two picks for quite a while, right ahead of Ennis. But then I remembered Frazier so had to take him first. And then still couldn't decide, as I was targeting LeVert as a late pick from the beginning. But finally due to defense and 3pt% this year, I had to go for Ennis. http://bkref.com/tiny/dUcAb

I love LeVert though. Have him in a fantasy league. Picked him up at the beginning of the year when injured.

I was waiting for him to come back to play from the injury to see how he would play. Always like players that can do a little of everything.

Wanted a perimeter defender so think Simmons fits in really well on my bench.

I was terrified you were going to take him bro. I was trying to trade up right above you to snatch him after I saw you were a fan in the general board. :lol:

Ennis was also a really solid pick though. Fits your identity. Tough as nails team.

Yeah, LeVert's really smooth. I figure LeVert/Livingston can be in the game at almost all times to play the Batum role in terms of keeping the ball moving, making smart plays. He had no business dropping in the draft like he did. Kid was a stud in Michigan.

Well you can get some to...everyone can :lol: ...Good thing my list is long. Make my next picks even funner. I actually have a player that I wanted more than both, but I don't think I will wait till next round.

Funny, when I saw that thread on the GB, I was like "Damnit! Someone is going to take him before I can now!" I kept thinking by the time the judging starts he will have improved also. He's a stud.

KT1214 will tell you that was THE MAIN guy I wanted the Knicks to get a pick for in the draft last year. Also Levert only started to shine in Jan. HE was doing nothing when you drafted him.
