The Pick Two Draft Thread

[Lucky17]

So I think the Suns are shaping up in the southwest!

PG:Mo' Williams
SG:Kevin Martin
SF:Andre Iguodala
PF:Amar'e Stoudamire
 C:Spencer Hawes

Strange as they're in the Pacific.

Where they are probably 3rd best, behind the Kings and the Pigs.

[Roy Hobbs]

Atlanta selects:


Chris Andersen
Gilbert Arenas

If people can draft Oden, Yao, and Rubio, there's no reason Arenas should be left out in the cold.

[Roy Hobbs]

C: Chris Andersen
PF: Josh Smith
SF: Jason Thompson
SG: Joe Johnson
PG: Gilbert Arenas

It's at least an interesting team, that somebody may want to take over.

Except who drafts a felon before they serve their time?

Since this draft isn't being graded, I'm going to sign off on it.  If this were the CB draft, though, this one would be vetoed, without question.

Indiana (Slugger) sends Danny Granger and Roy Hibbert to

Utah (Slamtheking) for Lamar Odom and Utah's 4th round pick.

Ugh. Great trade for utah, awful value for granger.

how come my one sided trade proposals get laughed out of the building?

Please -  firstly Roy Hibbert is a string bean - cannot move my mother out of the low post and has poor lateral movement.  He is not even worth trading for a 7th rounder in my mind.

Danny Granger - this is a bit tougher to justify...

Firstly, he is a good scorer.  However, he isnt all that young (26), is injury prone, and to be honest i dont think he's all that explosive.

He was an all-star last year, but simply due to the fact he was in the east.  I dont think he's really the most valuable on his team.

I think people are looking at his scoring numbers without actually assessing the whole picture.

Lamar Odom to me has just as much value as Danny Granger.  Without him, no way are the Lakers as good.  He is a versatile 3-4 man that can put the ball on the floor, post up his man, is a fantastic passer, can lead the break, can spell your PG of ball-handling duties, and has a hot girlfriend.

I believe these reasons, plus the added value of trading (in effect) Roy Hibbert for a 4th pick, are good reasons.

Comments welcome

Dead on assessment from where I sat Slugger.  Don't know why everyone's screaming it's lopsided.  I wasn't keen on the fouth round and am kicking myself for not going with a lower pick.  kudos for playing that one well.

Arenas finally off the board.

High risk/high reward player. And Atlanta needs all the talent it can muster.

Hey, if Vick can be rehabilitated, so can Gilbert (especially since he'll get some gift of a sentence, and probably won't miss time next season).

[Lucky17]

That Hawks frontcourt is going to be fun to watch. Courtside seats are going to have to come with protective headgear.

If that's so, I have Turk and a 3rd to offer up for that same package.

Yes.


But notice that no team even talked to him until after the jail time.

For the package your were offering you could have had Maggette, Big Al or Kevin Love and a pick.

In all fairness Danny Granger is probably just a small big significant step lower than Kevin Durant.

Lamar Odom is about as good as Rashard Lewis.

Roy Hibbert is on par with...Spencer Hawes? Maybe a little better?

Granger is a top 10 pick in any "build a team" league.

How can you pass that up, Slam?

Roy -- FWIW, i'd switch Smith and Thompson, no way the latter could play SF, but Smith really is more a SF than PF, imo.

[Fafnir]

Lamar Odom is about as good as Rashard Lewis.

He's way way cheaper though.
