"A list, a list, is on my list /
 A list a list, you shouldln't resist!
A list, a list, send a list to IP before you turn out the liiiiiiiiights"

-hilarious song parody by "Weird" Start Orien, on the importance of sending in lists if you think you'll be away from your computer and have a pick soon.

For realz, this is not Atzar's first rodeo.

I'm going into chat if anyone wants to hear about this great trade I made that I can't get approved until I hear from Roy.

Or discuss any other trades or stuff.

[Lucky17]

I hear its Larry Paul Russell Hobbs.

If you've been paying attention, its 'Kyrie Bogut Hobbs', but he won't be ready until next year at the earliest.

The beauty part is, it works for a boy or a girl.

Atzar, Atzar, number 3,
On the drafting spot I see,
If you can't be here to pick,
Leave a list! leave a list! leave a list!

[StartOrien]

You know the pick will come in with 5 minutes to go, and it will be who everybody wants.

Are we being nice and waiting or are people going to start jumping?

Read it wrong, thought he was late.

HOORAY!

I hope it involves "Pick 12.18."

[Rondo2287]

I see you Atzar

[The Walker Wiggle]

I see you Atzar

Shaking that ass.

[Atzar]

Bit of a reach here, perhaps.

The Hornets select Nicolas Batum.

I think in this game after round 4 picks should be snake

sorry Comish but i had to say it.

Commish was thinking the same thing, and next season it's gonna be modified snake.

Maybe something after four rounds makes sense, like Edgar said.  However, in general the best teams are still going to be the ones who got the best combos up front, with the San Antonio travesty being the exception.  Anything that gives the best teams even more of an advantage seems like a bad idea to me.  I mean, who needs the help more, Miami, LA, and OKC, or Toronto, Washington, and New Orleans?

There's a reason that real sports drafts aren't snake drafts:  the worst teams need the most help, in every round.  I understand my fellow staff members are feeling the bite of picking late, but going to a snake draft just puts the have-nots of the league further into the toilet.

I like this format (non-snake) best. It avoids the top teams from loading up on talent.

Gives teams near the bottom and middle a good chance of catching them through superior depth and balance and that is a very good thing. More opportunities to build a winner in this draft than in a snake one.

I wouldn't change it.
