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

[Edgar]

Gustavo Ayon

ty Hobbsy

I liked Gustavo in New Orleans but he seems to have regressed in Orlando.  Of course, so has the franchise, so maybe that explains some of it.

Well playing next to Big Al is a lot better than playing next to BBD
and Rose is somehow better than Jameer so I see good things for the guy
other than that he will be wonder in locker room

[Atzar]

TRADE

Portland trades Thabo Sefolosha, Maurice Harkless, Jeremy Lamb, Marreese Speights, and Ramon Sessions

Washington trades Joe Johnson, Nate Robinson, Jae Crowder, Earl Clark, and Ronny Turiaf

Even though Portland got the biggest name in the trade, I don't like it for them.  I think Thabo is the type of guy that helps win titles.

I think Lillard/Johnson/Batum/Aldridge/Valanciunas is a heck of a core.

On my end, Sefolosha is a very nice player, and both Sessions and Speights are nice off the bench.  I'm also very high on Moe Harkless, who I compare to Paul George.  Lamb could stand to eat a few meals at McDonald's, but he should develop into a sweet shooter who can play well off the ball.

Also, Johnson's contract would have hurt my team well into the future, so getting out from underneath it will help a lot in the long-term.

Clever

[jgod213]

I'll take A.J. Price

[Lucky17]

We'd asked Atzar about Joe a couple rounds ago, and presented a similar package. We decided we both enjoyed building up teams thus far, and both wanted to explore making a big trade and building a second one as a fun exercise.

Adding Joe to the starting lineup makes this a much more potent offense. A second facilitator and scorer next to Lillard will take a lot of pressure off the rookie PG.

We still have good depth, and a couple young and promising players. Have one more draft pick, but only about $2.3 million left. I'd like to move Jordan Hill and/or JRich to open up more, if anyone is game.

I think I'm up.  The Rockets take the rookie Mike Scott and his $.5 salary if he's available.
