Thought the Derrick Williams pick was dope.

[wdleehi]

Philly trades Butler, 4.28, 5.4
Washington trades Wright, 4.5, 8.5

I don't get this trade.


You move down an entire round (Butler to Wright) to move up 23 spots in the 4th and back 3 rounds from the 5th?

[Who]

Knicks trade: Danilo Gallinari and Tiago Splitter
Jazz Trade: Paul Millsap and 3.12

Good trade for New York. I like Splitter but I wasn't high on his fit there. This will allow them to build a more cohesive unit.

I thought Utah were better off not making this deal. Not because of the talent involved but because I don't think their pieces fit as well together as they did before.

I'll be around for really the rest of the round.

Thoughts on my Beasley pick?

What position are you going to play him at?

He's my first guy off the bench, can come in at the 3 for Dudley or the 4 for Bargs. Or I can take out Bogut, put Bargs at the 5 and play Beasley at the 4. I feel like I have plenty of options for him.

I still have 5.14 so it was kind of a bit easy to let go on 5.4. Players are running out. Felt that high 4 was good enough. Besides, Butler and Wright are pretty close when it comes to their stats. Butler is just a bigger, much known name.

[Lucky17]

PG: Russell Westbrook
SG:
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Luis Scola
C:  Chris Kaman

Will either target a more athletic big or a SG this round.

I'm thinking the frontcourt is much more skilled offensively than the current Thunder, but not nearly as good defensively. Fair assessment?

Yes.


I would go as far as looking to move one of the big men for more a dirty jobs big man.  Let's be honest, both of them are not going to get the touches needed.

I made the Westbrook trade with touches in mind. With a more deferential point guard in Conley, and a very good two-way wing in Iguodala, I think I have more balance in my starting five. Hansbrough brings energy, grit, and rebounding off the bench.

PG: Mike Conley
SG: Andre Iguodala
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Luis Scola/Tyler Hansbrough
C:  Chris Kaman

I have another pick this round. Will probably go with the best wing or big available, I think, although I wouldn't be against packaging it with either Scola or Kaman for an upgrade.

[Atzar]

Thoughts on my Beasley pick?

Still has a chance to be an excellent player.  A gamble, but a good one IMO at that point in the draft.

I think he'll hurt your team a great deal then.

But the back end you are getting killed on.  You allowed the other team to move up a greater distance twice vs. the one move up you have.  And they got the best player in the deal.
