Trust me, I know about Wilson Chandler, I also know now you are the one who is going to need to do convincing. I just dont see it.  Especially after you were talking so much about how great Prince was.  Everybody said at the time that you picked Chandler he wasnt a starting SF.

Boxers are still looking to move up into the late 6th exchanging their 7.20 and later picks to do so.

Boxers are still interested in moving into the 8th round using their 9.28.

To compensate I have a bunch of 11ths to negotiate with and apparently one 11th rounder has now had a price set as 4 picks in the lower rounds

Who also happens to have a 7 foot wingspan as well. Chandler is the real deal. Not as good as Prince right now, but much closer to Prince then any big man I could get in round 9 would be to Scola.

I ought to have added that I do like Wilson Chandler and his upside. He could potentially put up some gaudy numbers this season.

Thanks WW. I think he will strive with CP3 at the point. Much better than Marbury or Duhon.

Knicks wanna move Chandler back to shooting guard

[ChampKind]

hey y'all....just an idea --- maybe we should dial it down a notch. This *is* a game.

I say we dial it up several notches to vague threats of bodily harm and borderline racist taunting.  How else are we going to have any fun, you ignorant Hawaiian?  I should punch you in the back of the head.

Miami has 15 minutes to pick and would be willing to take offers for Shaq + 6.10.  PM with offers.  We are looking for young scorers, young big men.

back as in shooting guard is behind sf, not back as in he's played there before

We come to a screeching halt.

Loved Prince. Loved Scola too (as did others). In building a team he was more important. Worry about your own. You have a buncg of outside shooting big men and no shooting guard. You're not even in the mix right now.

Hey man I don't know why you took this so personally, Im just saying I think you significantly weakened your team with the trade.  Everybody loses a trade once and while even you.  Its ok, Im sure you can rebound.

I ought to have added that I do like Wilson Chandler and his upside. He could potentially put up some gaudy numbers this season. I was just eager to come to Prince's "defense."

I like Wilson Chandler a lot too -- had him on my keeper league last year and saw a handfull of games -- but I think this is a classic case of production vs. potential that comes up in this game all the time.

Chandler's weakness right now IMO is consistent effort on both ends of the court (not shocking for a 21 year old).

Prince is a very-good-to-elite defender at the SF position (crafty, long arms, understands how to defend despite not having the body). Chandler is at least a year or 2 away on that end (much closer to being elite on the offensive end).

my 2 cents.

I looked at him. Lot of good picks so far.
