2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Evantime34]

If anyone wants to discuss my team or there team I love to do that via Pm.

Well if we're all defending our teams:

I like my team,  though I wish I didn't make the first trade I made, I kinda choked and I really think it hurt my team

I like the idea of Iggy, Battier and Alridge on defense, very similar to the main parts of Houston's D last year with Iggy and Battier reaking havoc on the wings and Alridge protecting the hoop.

Offensively, I like Alridge in the post, Battier spreading the floor, and Iggy slashing and shooting from the mid range.

That's always the kick in the pants if you make an early trade mistake with a high pick.  No matter how good you draft, you are starting behind everyone.


you have a nice middle three, but haven't addressed the two hardest positions to fill.  Hard to read where a team might end up until one of those spots are filled.

Ya, the harder parts could only be one though, I think Alridge is capable of playing center against most opponents.

Nuggets still shopping the 2 6(3,4) and 2 7s to move up.



Will send two of those picks to jump into the 5th.


(three if the jump is into the 4th with a 9th back)

I like Aldridge as a mid range 4 better. But I do think you can build a team similar to this years Rocket's and make a playoff run.

i like your team so far KC...

[The Walker Wiggle]

As early team analysis begins, I have a thought; during team presentations assign two GMs to each team, possibly from the opposite conference, one to savage the team and one to defend it? An angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, so to speak.

Thoughts?

Second less elegant, but simpler, proposal, the Houston Rockets GM will defend your team from the Roy Hobbs of the world. Will do everything short of posting and re-posting articles about your players' knees.

Well of course you do, its half yours. It'll all prolly fall apart now that you're steering the TWolves.

Pending trade involving the Suns and Flamingos.

Bulls tweet- "We're tickled pink to add Tayshaun to our front court. We made another trade with the Wolves about an hr ago. Minor one, but will be announced soon. Season ticket sales are soaring. Thanks fans".

Haha.  Is there no integrity left in the world?

We'll continue to critique the flawed teams, especially when their GMs repeatedly attack us.  We'll also continue to compliment the teams we do like.

SO SAYS THUMPER!

[wdleehi]

I wonder if anyone wants to offer their services as an attack dog?  (under the table of course.  Don't want other GMs knowing I am the one who unleashed it)



Or I could just send out my evil clown.  It worked so well for the mobsters of Gotham.
