2011 CB Draft Interest Thread/Team Assignment+Lottery

[mgent]

Only 17 teams so far and people were saying it would be better with 30? We are having trouble getting the necessary 24.

I know he would never have the time but do you know who would great at one of these....Steve Weinman.

It'd suck to be that one team that misses the playoffs.

16 teams, I'm not going to be a GM.

17! -- i didn't read the rules fully that you had to PM IP.

I had only posted in the thread... I guess i thought it worked like this:

In all seriousness, it is a very fun exercise that I'd reccomend highly to anybody who hasn't done before.

Gives you a whole new look on how certain players play, what their skillset allows them, and let's you have (mostly) friendly barroom debates about how players would work together.

There needs to be more alcohol in the CB draft.

In 2009, the first year I played, I remember a team having Allen Iverson, Tracy McGrady and Ricky Davis on the same team and thought to myself....wow, this guy's been doing some serious drinking.

Fake Atlanta Hawks
PG: Jose Calderon/ Iverson /Lowry
SG: Allen Iverson/ McGrady /Davis
SF: Danny Granger/ McGrady/ Wally Sczerbiac
PF: Troy Murphy/Walker / Hunter
 C: Roy Hibbert /Hunter / Gray

Was just looking back and wanted to say that I thought these were the best value picks in each round:

1.17 - Derrick Rose - Lucky drafts the NBA's MVP with the 17th pick. very nice.

2.27 - Zach Randolph - Given the year he had this was tremendous value late, late in the 2nd by Tradetime/celticpride07 though they did trade him.

3.20 - Paul Millsap and 3.28 Tyson Chandler - just great value in this round picking up these guys where they did for action and GC.

4.26 - Wilson Chandler - okay I'm a bit biased here but 15/6 and a much improved defensive game is pretty good for late 4th. If not him then action did it again grabbing Gortat at the top of the round.

5.23 - James Harden - turned into a steal this late in the draft for GaBerkowitz/WeMadeit

6.9 - Wesley Matthews - brilliant pickup for the Champ in the sixth round. Only question is how did KC let him even get to the 6th round?

7.17 - Mike Conley - another awesome pick by Lucky. How often do you get a starting POG who can give you 14/7 while shooting 37% from 3 in the 7th round?

8.1 - Tony Allen - I am an unabashed Tony Allen hater but he had a magnificent year in Memphis and IP got the best value in the round with the first pick in the round

9.6 - Tyler Hansborough - kid showed he could be an NBA player and had a heck of a second half of the 2011 season averaging 15/7 after the All-Star game. Good job dwlefty.

Gotta go more to come later

Somebody liked the Pacers.

3. We are reducing rosters down to  13 due to lack of timely participation during the last day.

4. We are reducing the number of teams down to 24, to ensure participation.

Just did the math on these 2 wrinkles... I know it's kinda moot b/c we're having trouble finding even 24 teams yet (though we do have a whole week still) but...

last few years = 30 teams x 15 players = 450 players

this year's CBD = 24 teams x 13 players = 312 players


In the 30 team draft the 312th player was taken in the middle of the 10th round...

I know participation waned a bit toward the end (even if some of us loved that part of the draft) but lopping off the last 4.5 rounds cuts out a lot of players (too lazy to go look through those rounds from last year.)

How will you steal Marcin Gortat?

6.9 - Wesley Matthews - brilliant pickup for the Champ in the sixth round. Only question is how did KC let him even get to the 6th round?

I think that was fresh off him getting his mega-contract so we had all spent about two weeks bashing the Blazers.

Plus I don't think we realized that Brandon Roy had declined to the point where Wes was the superior player and would get the majority of the SG minutes.

Also, i was going young at that point and lots of people were dogging my team's lack of experience so I went with Courtney Lee because he had been a starter on a finals team as a rookie.

For clarification purposes, last year's draft only had 13 rounds, as well.

I think most people would prefer a full 15-round, 30 team draft.  Unfortunately, there's not interest for that.  Heck, this year IP seems to be having trouble getting 24 interested GMs.

For everyday a new person doesn't sign up I will start a new trade Rondo thread.

Because I'm a HATER who thinks there's a possibility we could improve this team by trading Rondo for other parts.

He'll do it, don't test him.

I'M NOT BLUFFING

I would love to throw my hat in the ring but it just won't work. I have really enjoyed the last couple of CB drafts I have participated in but July is killer for me and for a week of the draft I will be completely (techno wise, no phone, no computer) shut off from the real world. If anyone is looking for a parttime advisor or supporter to butter up the commishes...

If all else fails I'll be here trading doubloons for Bradors with Rebus and giving my 2

[move]

let me know and I'll be there when I can.

Was that Granger trade offer that bad? I kinda liked it, if only for one year.

I'm a Collison guy admittedly.
