With the 203rd pick in the 2011 CB Draft, the LA Conspiracy select:

Kawhi Leonard, f

[Rondo2287]

Still looking to trade into this round got 10.2 PM if interested

[ChampKind]

Coach pick:



As is tradition.

[TheTruthFot18]

Orlando Magic choose:


Martell Webster

[Who]

I've argued before that he was just that on the Grizzlies.  I'll still argue that he was more important to them than Conley.  He was the leader on a team that upset the team with the best record in basketball.

Being a top 2-3 wing defender in the league is a very solid asset, and every championship team needs a defensive stopper.  I think he could absolutely win a ring as the 3rd best player behind two scorers on a well-rounded team that likes to run.

I don't value TA that highly (top three player on a contender) but you clearly rate him at that level of talent. Fair enough.

For me, I think TA can be that Bruce Bowen type player. A key glue guy, a fourth or fifth best player on a contender.

My view of the Grizzlies:

• Grizzlies core = Z-Bo, M.Gasol and Rudy Gay
  
• Top role players = Battier, TA and Conley in that order but with comparable overall value (little separation between the three).
• Then the rest of the supporting cast.

I didn't think Memphis was a contender without Gay but I do think they are a contender with him in the lineup.

Regarding this trade:

Trade Announced:

Pistons send: James Harden, 9.11
Blazers send: Tony Allen, Jared Dudley

Initially it was Allen and my (at the time) 2 9ths for Harden. Evantime smartly realized that it was undervaluing Harden, so he came back with the 2 for 1, than I asked for the 9.11. Done deal.

Now, I obviously got the more talented player. Harden can simply do more, and in time, might develop into an elite player at the 2. There is a reason he was compared to Brandon Roy. Harden gives me a very potent scoring option off the wing, and a more well-rounded player than Tony Allen.

However, Tony Allen was my Kobe stopper, my LeBron stopper, and my Joe Johnson stopper. He was a critical part of my lineup, and that cannot be too overstated. THat alone should speak how big a piece Tony ALlen can be in the right setting.

The Pistons already have John Wall, DeRozen, Josh Smith, and Okafor. They don't need 17 efficient points out of Harden nearly as much as they need a defensive leader on the perimeter, or as much as they need the championship experience Tony Allen also brings. They also needed the defense a true 3 like Jared Dudley can provide so Smith can move permanently back to his more natural PF position, and Jeff Green can move to the supersub role he should have.

I think when you sub in Delfino to my lineup, both teams got better.

[Gainesville Celtic]

NYK knicks at pick 9.13 select:

Rony Turiaf

[Who]

If they put Jeff Green to the bench it makes their starting 5, Wall/TA/Dudley/Smith/Okafor. That's some great defense with a good 6th man in Green.

Yeah, I think that is the best lineup for Detroit too.

[indeedproceed]

Orlando Magic choose:


Martell Webster

Gonna just slide in there and take my guy huh? Real cool. Real cool.
