2011 CB Historical Draft - Draft Thread

[33-00-32]

Feelin the need for Sheed.

I like the pick. There were better shooters left out there, and probably better defenders, but as long as you use one of his early Detroit years..I like this pick.

Together in the same body though?

330032, I don't know how you can call any modern NBA player lazy.  They all have to work harder than any of us would ever dream to make it all the way there.  True, when he became an old man he got lazy in the regular season, but that's so he could save his energy for the playoffs (because let's be honest, he knew he was making them every year).

For some reason I am relating everything to Barkley today, that can't be a good thing.... Sir Charles once said that if Sheed wanted to he could be the best in the game. I have a hard time with people like that. I understand his abilities and his fit on any team I just don't have a lot of respect for him. He finished with 14.6 and 6.7 which are not real spectacular numbers. I would consider him to be somewhere in the top 25 PF to play just not a fan myself.

GF you are being bypassed.

The Lakers can select whenever they want

The Chicago Bulls pull a surprise and select

Kevin Durant

[WeMadeIt17]

What pick are we at?

[GreenFaith1819]

Nick and Roy....maybe we need to bring this out in the main room here?

The Durant pick wasn't my pick to begin with, but I think something is up with the PM'ing going back and forth here.

I will go ahead and make my pick here in a sec.

[nickagneta]

KC is up

GF was bypassed and can select at anytime

Please give KC 5 minutes from my pick's time

Durant was nick's pick.

The question is, do you have a trade with Redz.  I think the situation is that you agreed to the trade, and then found out who Redz was going to take, and decided you might want to back out, because that was the guy you had targeted.

If you're going to back out, make your pick.  If you're going to honor the trade, then it's Redz' pick.

In the interim, I have KC's pick, but will give this the full time to get straightened out.

Kevin Durant

I think he's a great pick, probably won't get nearly the touches he would like, so maybe not the best fit, but not a liability, especially if you're not going to start him.

Kevin Durant

I like the Durant pick.  I would have LOVED another guy for him (who KC is about to pick, once the other mess gets straightened out).

[nickagneta]

KCs pick is due by 1:43:42 at which point it is Rebus' pick which I have and will make for him

Kevin Durant

I like Durant in a role where he could just stand in the corner and pop 3's

[nickagneta]

Make the pick Roy

[nickagneta]

KC has been bypassed

Rebus selects Mitch Richmond

WEMadeIt you are up

KC and GF can select at any time

[Roy H.]

KC selects Grant Hill.

[GreenFaith1819]

With the 4th pick today, the Los Angeles Lakers select:



Big Game James!!

A Finals MVP and one of the quickest SF's out there. The familiarity with Kareem will reap many benefits for both.

He will fill much of the time at SF with KG getting some minutes there as well.

KC selects Grant Hill.

KC just won the award for best pick of the round.
