[Celtic Fan Forever]

Hey, wdleehi, when can I start the 7th?

Hey, wdleehi, when can I start the 7th?

As long as there are picks not picked, 7 PM.



If the round is complete (no missed picks), go ahead and start, but don;t expect updates and trade approvals.

Rockets select veteran: Michael Finley

Good pick. I got him in like the 8th or 9th round last year.

I needed a sharpshooter and I put stock in a lethal shooter who has championship experience.

Warriors? Heat?

[Gainesville Celtic]

So Magic can pick?


ORLANDO MAGIC select Joakim Noah

hmmm Gainsville going with the Gainsville guy, interesting.

actually he's from New York.... the only true Gainesville guys are Vernon Maxwell and the only other Gainesville Celtic --- Orien Greene

Yeah, but I was thinking University of Florida, which is in Gainsville.

I know CFF --- i'm just one of the few Gainesville natives around so I was just filling in the only 2 guys i know of actually from Gainesville to play in the NBA.  And yes, that Orien is from Gainesville and played for the C's makes me like him a bit more than most 'round here...

I think Noah becomes the 3rd Gator taken thus far after Horford and Mike Miller.  I've got Andrew DeClercq, Donnell Harvey and Anthony Roberson high on my 7th round draft board

The Warriors Select Larry Hughes.

If you look at the stats Larry thrives in an uptempo system and plays poorly in a slow down game. Who plays more up tempo than a Golden State team lead by Steve Nash?

[RebusRankin]

Hughes late in 6th when over 170 players have been taken is good value.

Larry Hughes is an absolute steal. If his contract wasn't so huge in real life people wouldn't be so down on him. He's a definite viable starter.

[GaBerkowitz]

good recent pics include Landry and Hughes.  Both guys  i was looking at with the 30th pic

[Gainesville Celtic]

Larry Hughes is an absolute steal. If his contract wasn't so huge in real life people wouldn't be so down on him. He's a definite viable starter.

agreed, i might have taken him over Noah, but for (a) my need for big man depth and (b) his inability to play alongside Iverson in Philly.... i figured actual experiences like that count even in this make believe world 

[Roy Hobbs]

Portland takes Steve Blake.  Yes, it's a little bit need-based, but he's top ten in assists to turnover, and he's top 20 in assists per minute, so I'm psyched with this pick.

[BigAlTheFuture]

Listening to offers for Yi Jianlian.

[ChampKind]

Listening to offers for Yi Jianlian.

Good luck.

[JSD]

Hornets? Heat?

[indeedproceed]

With the Steve Blake pick, Roy Hobbs should politely be asked to just stop showing off.
