2009 Celticsblog Draft: Draft Thread

[Roy Hobbs]

Roy just end it. You're a flip flopper and I had to point it out, b/c you were trying to mislead in the thread. Just walk away. You're acting silly. You tried to make up a Scola for Miller straight up rumor and I had to call you on it. You seem to have the need to have the last word... Hmm.

I'm fine with ending things.  However, I'm a little puzzled why you're participating in a game where we critique each other's rosters and roster moves, if you don't want your moves critiqued.

I complimented your moves when I've liked them, which was most of the time early on.  I called you a championship contender, and the best team in the central at one point.  I can't remember if it was publicly -- I believe it was -- but I said you were the most successful GM on here early on, in terms of working trades to your advantage.  I was a fan.

Conversely, I've critiqued your decisions when I haven't liked then, which has been recently.  I think you've downgraded your team.  That's my opinion.  You disagree.  Fine.  However, don't suggest I'm posturing when I tell you something in a private conversation.  Why would I posture privately?

Again, though, if you don't want to discuss your team, that's cool.  I'll move on.

No we can discuss my team. As long as we stick to the facts its cool. I'd invite people to rank the Central teams in the appropriate thread. I'd find it a fun read. Right now Gerald Wallace is scheduled to play 48 minutes. That will obviously change.

Okay, cool.  It's no personal vendetta on my part.  Every year, we have two or three GMs who build something great, and then tinker with it.  There's always a debate on whether they improved or not, and I was simply trying to engage you in that debate.

What about those GM's who build something slightly above average, huh Roy? Where's our love? Where's our respect?

Haha.  Your team isn't as mediocre as others are making it out to be.

That's the tough part of this game, though.  There are probably four "win now" teams in each conference that will be praised, and maybe four "team of the future" teams, total, that people will like.  That potentially leaves 18 others GMs, who have invested weeks of their time, out in the cold.

I know last year I bought billboards, send out complementary coffee mugs, radio spots, viral marketing....nothing worked. Phoenix finished 9th, outta the playoffs. I promised myself on that day....never again....never again...

You finished in front of Jsaad, though, right?

That was some crazy voting, there.

I don't remember. I only remember that Houston Rockets team was HORRRIBLE. I mean like Clippers bad.

Hey, we were voted top 4 in the West last year.

Bulls are willing to move George Hill for two players or a player and a pick.

[StartOrien]

From my fake blog:

"Chicago Bulls GM Johnny Rondo and Portland Indana GM Roy Hobbs were seen in a public forum arguing quite extensively. Anonymous sources claim they were arguing over which was the best pick by the presumed 2009-2081 World Champion, Indiana Pacers."

We already have Indiana's own Jim Davis, the creator of 'Garfield,' on a recruiting trip. He's stacked to the brim with hilarious jokes about hating Monday's and lasagna. We expect Rubio to sign by dawn.

Norman Dale is the coach of the CrotoNats, and rumor has it they're looking at Chitwood to be their shooting coach.

Anyone looking to make a trade pm me.
No one on my team is untouchable but I am not in a fire sale!
