Utah will take offers on Joe Dumars. We are very happey with Joe being our sixth man but see we could get great value in a trade for him if other teams want to use him to round out their rosters. PM me with offers. All will receive a TP.

well through 7 rounds I really like the team makeup

Coach - Jerry Sloan
PG - John Stockton 94-95
SG - Raja Bell 05-06 or 06-07 & Joe Johnson 04-05
SF - Lebron James 09-10
PF - Dennis Rodman 91-92
C/PF - Chris Bosh 09-10 & Kevin Willis 91-92

One superstar (Lebron), good solid all around HOF level players like Bosh and Stockton, a lock down defender (bell) contrasted with a pure scorer (johnson) at SG, the greatest defender/rebounder in the draft (rodman), and another solid rebounder with size (willis also happened to be a solid scorer the year I chose).  Picking late in the coach's round I'm ecstatic Jerry Sloan fell to me, I guess the lack of titles killed him.

I have some guys in mind for the next few rounds, which if I pick up I think will add nice solid depth to the roster.

WARNING

Before this endeavor goes any farther I just want to say that personal messages to Panelists soliciting votes during this game is strictly prohibited. I am not saying that this has or has not occurred only that it will not be tolerated.

The Panelists volunteered their time to objectively judge this draft AFTER it has been completed and to provide commentary during the game. Please respect their privacy and keep all questions of them public in one of the three threads provide to discuss the draft.

Each owner will be given a chance to present their team and to field questions from the Panelists, if they have any of you, prior to voting for Draft Awards. The Panelists will present their votes to me and I will then, for transparency's sake, PM back the results for the awards with how each Panelist voted to all the Panelists before announcing the Award results.

So please, let's keep this fun and respect the opinions and privacy of the Panelists.

Thank You

Gentleman,

First off let me say what a thoroughly enjoyable two weeks it has been doing the 1st Annual CB Historical Darft with you. Everyone who participated was great and did a fantastic job.

So now, back to business.

First, I still need Drucci and GaBerkowitz to mke their final selections so that I can post them and so I can start the finalization process of the draft. Once their picks are in there will be a schedule from here on out. This is how it will go:

Time of last pick - Tuesday May 25th 6:00PM EST: Trading period. Teams are allowed to discuss trades and make them. Amount of players in the trades does not matter. I would like to suggest something that occurred in another draft. First three teams to make a three way trade will receive 5 TPs per team for the successful completion of the trade. First four teams to make a four team trade will receive 10 TPs for the successful completion of the trade.

Tuesday May 25th 9:00PM EST: All final rosters with playing year of each player must be posted in the CB Historical Draft - Team Rosters/Panelists Comments Thread:

Failure to comply will render that team ineligible to be awarded awards

Wednesday May 26th 6:00PM EST: The following team must have their team presentation posted in the CB Historical Draft - Team Rosters/Panelists Comments Thread:

Indiana
Portland
Boston
New Jersey
Utah

http://forums.celticsblog.com/index.php?topic=37447.0 where they will be reviewed by the Panelists and the Panelists will post questions to the owners about their team.

Unlike past drafts you may have been associated with only the Panelists or non-participants of the draft may ask questions. Team owners can not ask other team owners questions. Please do not ask someone who is a non-participant to ask questions for you, This is against the spirit of this draft.

Panelists or non participants I do ask that when questioning a team after they have posted their presentation star your post with the team's name in bold red font. It will make it easier for owners to sort through the posts and see which posts are addressed to them.

Wednesday May 26th 6:00PM - Monday May 31th 9:00PM EST: Panelists ask questions and get them answered by team onwers.
