Dallas selects: Jerry Sloan as coach

On the bright side you didn't just take Deron Williams last round.

But Im picking a year where they got along

[RebusRankin]

Deron and Sloan. I see chemistry issues.Plus how wll Sloan handle Gervin and his lack of D?

[Roy H.]

I've got to say, there's one coach I'm shocked to see slide.

For his coach, Redz selects Tommy Heinsohn. 

[LarBrd33]

just checked out this thread for the first time out of curiosity to see the draft order.

Kobe 5th?

Kareem 9th?

Wow. 

[Rondo2287]

Deron and Sloan. I see chemistry issues.Plus how wll Sloan handle Gervin and his lack of D?

Gervin played some pretty good D and remember There were no sloan Deron chemistry issues till this year, and I am not picking this year, so it is not relevent to this conversation

[LarBrd33]

I mean really... Kobe 5th?  Maybe I don't get the rules of this game.  No offense to the guy who picked him 5th.  Kobe's a great player... but I'm not even sure in Kobe's best year I would have picked him to build a team around.  In his early  years I would have picked Shaq.  Later years I would have picked Bron. 

In general you gotta pick a dominant big man to start unless it's Jordan.  I can understand picking Larry.  Other than that... I'd go point guard. 

[Bahku]

The Philadelphia Seventy-Sixers are extremely happy, (and shocked to see slide), to select for their coach and core, one of the few other people on the planet, (other than PJ), who can work this chemistry thing without losing the respect and trust of MJ ...







Gregg Popovich .

But look at the entire body of work, LarBrd33.

The owner that drafted Kobe has a fine team, indeed. Ray and Kobe are two prolific scorers, Stockton is one of the best PG's ever, and of course Stockton-to-Malone?

Hard to beat that.

And add Dikembe?

Every owner here did a fine job, in my estimation. One more week to round out the teams, too.

And please don't forget that pick and roll for Stockton and Malone.

Any pick set by Karl Malone is just plain dangerous . I'd rather run into a brick wall.

Gregg Popovich .

That's the guy I was shocked to see fall.  Very few coaches have four rings like Pop does.

I honestly could not believe he was still available. Sixers are very happy.

[StartOrien]

Well, I wiffed on not picking Popovich.

Swap out Kareem for Kobe... replace Dikembe with essentially any allstar shooting guard of the past 30 years... It beats that team
