2011 CB Draft Interest Thread/Team Assignment+Lottery

[StartOrien]

IMHO
Overseas deals are nothing and theyre written on toilet paper
As long as theres a Season all of them are coming back

 

If they ever leave. I suspect Deron won't.

[Roy H.]

In regards to the 'international players' debate:

Maybe we should create a running list on the draft board of players who IP will deem "international."  Now that Deron has gone overseas we could see a quick trend develope as this draft begins to unfold.

Also, what if someone drafts a guy like zaza pachulia while he's still committed to the hawks, but then one day after he's selected in our CB Draft he commits to playing with Deron overseas?  What if he commits to play in turkey for the entire year? Do we grandfather pachulia into the CB draft as an NBA guy since he was selected prior to his overseas commitment?

I believe this happened with Kleiza a couple years ago, and in the end it was tough luck for the guy who drafted him.  but thats much like the real nba, you sign a deal but you never know whats gonna happen, how the player is going to perform or if he will see the court.

ok well i guess if its a guy like klieza or pachulia you'll still probably be ok, but again this was deron williams.  what if your 2nd or 3rd round pick decides he's signing a sweetheart of a deal in spain but he has to promise to play out the entire year? i mean this is  just conjecture, but it might be something we should be proactive about.


i have the 20th pick in the draft, if my 4th round guy bounces then i have about a .01% chance of winning this thing.

If, say, you draft Deron Williams and his contract guarantees he spends the entire year in Europe, then that's the status he's in on your team.  You still have the rights to a great player, but he won't be playing in the NBA this year.

Speaking of which, I'm voting all the teams tied for 1st (and last) this year, with a cumulative record of 0-0.  It's hard to anoint a "winner" when nobody is likely to play any basketball in the NBA, at least for a long, long time.

But all the stories thus far about DWill's potential Turkish contract (sure to be my fantasy team name next year) says that it would include an out... there is a 0% chance that if a guy like Deron Williams signs overseas it won't have an out.

other guys maybe not but stars like Willimas are a lock to have an out.

When are we drafting? I must have missed that post.

Who will go in the top 5? Will the Kings really draft a darkhorse? Who will drop to 23 so I can get a steal?

Suggestion for IP or any of the other mods who can edit posts:

Might be good to throw the draft times on the first page.

Ive got a mock first round going, but it will be interesting to see who falls.  Cause one or two people always do

I'll have the draft board, with available players list up today.

This year could be super interesting: There's a couple guys this year that I feel like could go anywhere from late first round to the start of the fourth round.

Era changes will do that.

Interesting point. Also, a lot of guys too that would've been surefire 1st rounders (Roy for instance) are now risky business like Tom Cruise.

Roy Hobbs is more like Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire. Except when he's making trades, then he's more like Jay Mohr, no scruples.
