The collective bargaining agreement doesn't allow player coaches any more. ;)

Mike Dunleavy

another 20 ppg cannor hurt my team
and defense will be bench job

You can't draft the Clippers coach!  ;)

question though --- as a retired player, could someone draft Mike Dunleavy Sr. if they thought he -- or a guy like Chris Ford --- could add more to the team as a security long range bomber than a guy like Gerald Green.

can we draft retired players -- recently or not?  I imagine that's what might keep the 13/14/15 rounds interesting.

Yes, so long as people remember that they're drafting the player in his current condition, and not during his prime.

Also, remember that just because you draft somebody doesn't mean that they'll agree to a contract.

Bill russell is as good as signed as player/coach

Well not officially, but I think Peter Auerbach Fleiger might be a lame duck coach for me...

They just do that so you can't pay a "player" two salaries.  If one of your 15 players wanted to mentor the team and essentially act as a coach, I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem (as long as there was no additional salary, and presumably, no formal obligations).

You can still have him where he should be though. Just a coach.

Does anyone want to trade a remaining 4th round pick, or a player already drafted this round for a 6th and a 7th?

Love is going to be a heck of a player starting the fast break.  Not a horrible selection.

I wish K-Love the best for his career, but I hope Charlotte has a good training staff.

The heat are very excited to draft Peja Stojakovic

great pick. i think people just forgot about him... definitely a sleeper.

I forgot about him, although I wouldn't have picked him anyways.

Peja had a nice season last year.  Always been a fan, but he had  afew off years.  Nice pick though.
Yup
