Celtics leapfrogged Warriors, Heat, and Lakers; favorites to land Damian Lillard:

I'd rather have D Gafford than I Stewart.

Gafford is a decent starter to high level backup. Stewart is just a bench player. Too small to start at center. Not skilled enough to play PF full time. Above average bench player but that is his ceiling.
I would as well, though the Detroit trade drops way more salary this year so gets the team closer to out of tax.

That one was

Stewart, Reed, Sasser

for

Simons, Tillman, Walsh


Stewart worse than Gafford, but I do like Sasser and Reed better than Hardy and Martin (at least collectively) and the savings is better.

But those are the type of trades I think Simons is going to bring without draft picks.  I just don't think he has much value.  Now maybe during the season his value increases or teams decide they want to trade future salary for the expiring contract, but over the summer I think that is where we are.  So maybe it just isn't worth making the trade now, but the 4 and 5 rotation is just so bad, I don't see the point of keeping White and/or Brown, if you aren't going to try to win with them.

I like Sasser too. Good player. Two way player. Good defense. Good outside shooter on offense. He will be a good role player in the league.

I propose we begin next Tuesday, 7/22.

From Tuesday-Friday, we draft from 10:15-11:45am ET and pick one player a day with 10 minutes allotted per pick. Then the following week, we draft the same days at the same times but do 5 minutes per pick and draft 2 players a day. We?d have completed teams of 12 as of Friday, August 1st.

I think 5 minutes per pick in the 2nd week is easier than 2 a days.

If this is agreeable, I will put together a rules thread, determine the draft lottery order, and add a few notes and recos about the sim element. Eligible seasons are from 04-05 and onward.

Why didn?t the Bucks just trade Lillard for Beal?

They needed to open cap space for Myles Turner.

VJ is nasty. Philly made the right call.

That play where he made the driving layup from the top of the key, literally going so fast he was out of bounds past the goal and further out of bounds than any player, and then sprinted all the way back and was the first back to break up a layup the other way...

There aren't many players in the NBA that move like that. I agree. He's special.

That was the play that sparked my comment.  :laugh:

He?s going to be fun to watch.
Forget who asked, but when I had a proposed trade before the draft with Philly including #3, George, and McCain for Brown, I said I thought he was the real deal and why I would have been willing to make that trade.  Obviously summer league isn't a real gauge of things, but VJ definitely has a chance to be a star in this league.
