'Pick Two' Draft 2012 Team/Keeper Selections

[The Walker Wiggle]

OK, bring on the haters!

Indiana Pacers: Roy Hibbert & PAUL GEORGE

Haven't seen much of him, but what's so great about Paul George that makes everyone say he's a future superstar?

I know that Larry gushes over him.

I'd guess that's good enough for me

So does Simmons. Kid is certainly a keeper, although he's just not ready to draw the defense attention of a first or second option, which is the situation SO has on his hands leaving Granger on the wire. Still fortune favors the bold!

Also note to KCat the Stripe... Last year my Heat team consisted of:

Josh Smith/ Trevor Booker
Lebron James/ Josh Howard
Boris Diaw/ Timofey Mozgov
Dwyane Wade/ Paul George
Jason Terry/ Ty Lawson

Good luck with that.

Danny Granger has a stupid face and I hate him.

Danny Granger has a stupid face and I hate him.

His 38% shooting is killing my fantasy team.

Plus, are the rumors true and George is a 6'10" SG?? Wow.

Need to move him to SF.

One of the worst parts about not following Simmons much is that I always feel obligated to point out that I don't read him anymore and infrequently listen to his podcats if in case I find out I have a similar opinion.

There's two reasons I picked George, one good basketball thought, one not so much -

1. I see this team - built around Hibbert - going in 2 completely different directions, in both cases I thought George is a better fit. And I don't think the talent between the two is SO different that I felt the need to select Granger.

2. I love Paul George's game and I hate Danny Granger's.

RebusRankin takes GOlden State Curry/Lee

Really like this combo, Lee has been great.

Personally, I don't like Lee's game.In my opinion he's not quite good enough offensively where I can look past how abysmal he is on defense. That is unless he's paired with a cast that can hide him.

I have it narrowed down to three teams how much time do I have? Would anyone have interest in a player for picks deal?

No trades at least until all the teams are picked

Fine I won't trade.

Is anyone interested in an under the table non binding hand shake agreement?

[Evantime34]

In any event I select the Atlanta Hawks with Joe Johnson and Josh Smith.

Joe Johnson is on the block.

[Merovech]

Joe Johnson is on the block.

I may be interested in him for Al Jefferson, but I'm not making that trade straight up.

Joe Johnson is on the block.

J.J. is having a great season. I was skeptical of him this summer, as his scoring and efficiency had been creeping down over the last three years. Shows what I know.

How about swapping franchises? My second choice team is still on the board.

[Evantime34]

Joe Johnson is on the block.

I may be interested in him for Al Jefferson, but I'm not making that trade straight up.

I'd also move him for picks... when I am allowed to move him within the rules of the game of course.

Picks I can do.  I won't ask any details now, as I don't want to circumvent the rules, but I will certainly keep that in mind.
