2016 CB Draft: Discussion thread

[The Walker Wiggle]

Thoughts on the trade?

Let's see who's available at 2.16. But my first impression, solid deal.

[Rondo2287]

Hard to believe melo is only two years older than horford

My favorite thing about that trade is that you got the 4th round pick. You lose the 3rd rounder but you can still round out your team well.

IDK...that drop from 3.16 to 4.30 is huge.  Probably more than the value gained jumping from 2.16 to 2.1.  I guess the crux of the matter is how Melo is actually viewed.  If we're actually basing his value on his production and affect on the game, it's a bad trade.  But if his value is being based on his subjective value, which is probably a bit higher due to his name still carrying a certain cache, than it is probably a good deal.

I think Carmelo is still pretty solid.  A clear top 20 player TODAY.  Melo has been stuck on a crappy team the last 2-3 years thats in transition with a bad coach and questionable management.  In the right situation i think he is a very very valuable piece.

I still have interest in moving up, but I'm starting to feel better about one of my guys falling to 24.

Millsap and Gasol is going to be a monster frontcourt to try and defend.  Woof

I was working on deals since 7am for that pick unfortunately my asking price was too much.

Kevin Love

Good pick, I was debating between him and Melo at 1

Thanks Rondo.

KLove is a top 10 player when he's not playing with LeBron.

It will be easier to comment too when we start to draft enough players for a Rosters Thread.

I had him ranked #30 per my super secret statistical model.

Per that model you potentially lost 0.20 pts in total score, which would be roughly the equivalent of a full win share.

But subjectively, having a second "go-to" scorer might very well overcome that difference.

Like I said yesterday, I'm using this draft as one big science experiment.

I have the 2nd pick in the 3rd round, looking to move back to a later pick in round 3 and pick up an additional pick if anyone is interested.
