I will not recognize any player that is under foreign contract that is picked from 6/7 on.
Well, right. Those players aren't eligible to play immediately. However, if you're working on a team of the future thing, and somebody picks Childress, maybe he's factored in (for the future, not the present.)
If his contract is torn up like every other player in this draft how is he not eligible?
3 things to address next year:
1) clarification on players under foreign contract (I got screwed)
2) Vetoes (we lost a great GM)
3) Players who submitted a no brainer 1st pick (Lakers screwed and we lost a great blogger/GM)
1) one way or another.
2) Do away with it we aren't little kids
3) Just like NFL does it. If the first pick is announced to the "Media" it is exactly that.
As always, i think it should be pointed out that Wdleehi has done a great job on the full balance of the game and another TP for putting it all togehter.
I agree with #1 -- just clarify, this may be an even bigger issue in coming years
#2 --- i agree that we can do away with .... maybe put in a clause that says something about if 2 teams make 2 "questionable deals" the commish has the right to investigate/sanction.... something like that to avoid collusion, which i think is all veto should be used for.
#3 -- I agree with publicly announcing the pick... now if the #1 picker hems and haws to try and up trade value, etc (not that the Lakers did this year) they 're subject to same rules as everyone else, but that would avoid any problems....
ubuntu, y'all!
