CB Historical Draft - 1990's 2000's version: Draft Thread

[Drucci]

The Chicago Bulls select Hubie Brown as their head coach.

I love the way this coach's round is working out. It makes choosing coaches fair. It's a round of the game. It gives owners something to think about and do in the game over the weekend between rounds. Yet it's relaxed without a rush being involved.

BTW, all the choices thus far have been excellent.

REMEMBER

1.) There are two rounds each day

2.) There are only 5 minutes between picks with the exception of between rounds where there is a 20 minute pause

3.) If you can't make it that day provide a very, very complete list to either myself or another owner or a panelist to make your selections for both of your selections that day. Other people do not have the right to make your selection without having a name on a list you provide them.

Thanks for headsup, Nick. I didn't realize the compressed time slots. This actually works out best for me.

I already have a list of about 20 players to still round out my team, and a list of 10 coaches to pick from.

anyone have any thoughts about my starting 5

Seems like a legendary version of the present day Orlando
 Magic. Design on purpose?

well I wasn't going for that at first but then after my 1st two picks it became my design strategy!

Like your frontcourt a lot, riah.  A healthy Danny Manning makes it very formidable.

Gotta say, with the exception of just one or two teams, every team's frontcourt is looking pretty dang tough

Bread & butter rounds are coming up.  Gotta fill out the rosters with solid rotation and complementary pieces.  These are my favorite rounds in these drafts.

When can I pick my coach (ie how long does the person ahead of me have?).

GaBe has 24 hours from the time Drucci chose which was 11:00 AM this morning at whick point you can chose

[nickagneta]

Utah will take offers on Joe Dumars. We are very happey with Joe being our sixth man but see we could get great value in a trade for him if other teams want to use him to round out their rosters. PM me with offers. All will receive a TP.

[nickagneta]

The Memphis Grizzlies(GaBerkowitz) have exceeded their allotted time to choose a coach

They may select their coach at any time

The San Antonio Spurs(RebusRankin) may select their coach at any time

[RebusRankin]

San Antonio selects Mike Krzyzewski as their coach.

[Roy Hobbs]

San Antonio selects Mike Krzyzewski as their coach.

Interesting choice.  I think I would have taken somebody with NBA experience.  Coach K is a great coach, but his only experience dealing with superstar egos is with USA Basketball, meaning he's a bit of an unknown.  There are two coaches in particular who I think are still excellent choices, to the point where gambling is unnecessary.

I'm kind of hoping someone takes my first choice, so I can take my second choice.

Of course if both go, there's always my 3rd choice

(sorry if I'm breaking a rule here Nick...if anyone is seriously considering Tark, I apologize for letting the shark out of the bag...although I did actually sort of seriously consider him because with the amount of talent on these teams should petty much coach themselves)
