question for edgar:

at the start of every round, you literally beg for a pick in that round, have you ever pulled off a trade to get one?

Does it really matter?  Edgar has taken a great game and made it even more fun with his pleading, his colorful scrolling text, his dangling of Mr. Curry, threats, etc. ;)

TP for you Edgar!

i love his pleading, my question wasn't supposed to be condescending in any way. just simply a question.

So will you be picking after 7pm ET tonight, maestro?  Or waiting out for possible trade offers?

Nm, I see you traded it to the Magic.... GC, will you be making your pick tonight?  Just wondering if I should check in, because I'll make mine as well if you do.

probably not, family issues call me away from the computer & i'm waiting to hear back from 2 GMs about a deal for the 9 (1).... (we agreed to check back before the 9th round, i'm not being coy).

So that also means anyone else who's interested in the #1 pick in the 9th round, you have time to ge in an offer.  As i posted before, The ORLANDO MAGICS are willing to move to the mid-to-late 9th round in exchange for a 10th or 11th round pick (and/or players already drafted).  I'm not looking to move out of the 9th round altogether except for an already drafted player, not named Eddy Curry.

PS. we hate cats (and little yip dogs) so don't bother including in your proposal :)
So just to be clear
U dont want Curry? and Youre not giving me Delonte and 9th for him??
 :-X  ;)


I was just about to hit send when you put that picture of that dog up there and it scared me so much i closed the window.... oh well. :P

But the problem for your team is, the only way Gerald is in the game is if the score is Opposition 130, Heat 63.  At that point, I don't think people will much care how many circus dunks Gerald throws down.

The kid is just lost on the court.  He's so far away from putting everything together that it's scary.

Edgar will trade you Eddy Curry for Gerald and a ninth rounder.

A couple thoughts in defense of Mr Green. He HAS always played on super-young teams. It will be interesting to see how he does playing with vets like Kidd, Dirk, Stack, Terry, Dampier, et al in Dallas.

Can Carlisle "coach him up" it will be up to Green for sure but this really is the best coach and the best situation he's been in. Can he take away enough to go with his remarkable physical talents?

He is still young. This year will be the make or break -- can he steadily improve. Not be a star but improve in all the liitlw things he has problems with right now.

That's in the real Nba. Here I think it was 2-3 rnds early, but I never fault gms for going and getting the guy they really want.

I got a couple disposable cameras.  I'll do it for $25, plus all I can drink. 

It's a fair deal, take it.

Lol...so basically he's paying $70 for you to eat appatizers and take pictures of pretty girls, with the prettiness factor getting more and more negotiable the longer the night extends? Cuz thats what my friends do at weddings when they have disposable cameras

You may want to check around first -- from what I hear, EDDY CURRY is available.

I'm sure all Edgar would cahrge is a 9th round pick.


4G is ridiculous but as someone who has photographed a wedding "professionally" before, its a LOT more stressful than it looks.
