Pick 2: Draft Order (order for Coaches round posted on pg 204)

[indeedproceed]

Anyone have a completed round 1 draft board handy? That's been like..filled out?

[Rondo2287]

Not really the player I wanted to pick but the other guy is a bit too expensive.

Dallas Mavericks select DeAndre Jordan

Let the run on big men begin!

[slamtheking]

Im very interested to see how todays draft goes.  I have alot of value still left on the board, but usually this is where picks start surprising me.  Will be interesting to see how salaries continue to effect things here.

Yep.

I look at my list and so want to jump back up into this but history teaches me that I can wait. 

(It of course helps that I have already filled certain spots we are likely to see a run of today)

I definitely think salary considerations will play a big part in this going forward.  there's someone still on the board who's talent should have had him picked already but has a killer contract.  There's at least 4-5 others that I would expect to go in this round based on talent but their contracts may keep them on the sidelines.

I think I know who you're talking about, and I'm wondering if that guy's contract is SO bad that he won't end up getting picked.

I was wondering the dame thing.  it would take either someone clearing a lot of cap room or a team with a lot of excess salary to start with.

Only tough thing is that they have 51.6 million of a 70.3 salary cap tied up in 4 players.  Got some work to do to fill out the roster with less than 20 mill

[Celtic Fan Forever]

I'm not understanding the hate for Hickson. His defense is improving, his rebounding is phenomenal, and he's shooting at a high % with a PER over 20. What's there not to like?
Plus he's cheap.

I think that is fine. Around $50 million is what your top four guys should be earning.

In the real nba I agree, here we have already seen cheap productive guys go early.  I think the last rounds will be filled with alot of 3 Million dollar contracts.

Cavs take Ryan Anderson.

And idly Im gonna wonder if he was crushed by a horse or something, because otherwise how is this guy still around?
