Good job guys. Now if we could just get an appearance from Atzar or CFF Or Bahku...

[Evantime34]

Has anyone picked dominique jones?

I don't think so.

That's who the atlanta hawks select then. He looked good last night for the mavs.

[Merovech]

After much hemming and hawing, I have finally been convinced that my team would be better off going young  If anyone wants to make offers for Anderson, Carter, Williams, and/or Marion, I'm open to trading them.

[Bahku]

Please forgive my late pick ... life and occupation had some surprises for me today.

Trade:

Knicks trade Patrick Patterson
Jazz trade Chris Andersen

It's a good talent upgrade for you, no doubt.  He's not gonna see much time behind Howard and can't really back up Millsap, but he's definitely a quality rotation player.  (Remember when we could have had him or Patrick O'Bryant, and chose O'Blount?  Yeah, Birdman wouldn't have helped both then and now...)

[Who]

Knicks trade Patrick Patterson
Jazz trade Chris Andersen

Wow, great trade. Important to have a quality backup five who can anchor your defense when Dwight Howard is not on the court. Very valuable reserve. Much more so than Patrick Patterson. Quite a few good backup PFs still on the board who can replace P.Patterson too.

I don't really understand why Utah did this. They were small enough up front already. This just makes them more vulnerable.

I think Utah is "going young", punting on its playoff chances to rebuild a bit.  It's funny, I was just thinking yesterday how in this year's draft, we'd seen more balanced teams, rather than the strictly "win now" or "play for the future" teams we've seen in other years.  That's more like the real NBA.  Since that observation, though, we've seen a couple of teams decide to go the youth route, with first Chicago and now Utah leading the charge.

I understand that nobody wants to be "just" a playoff team, but in my mind there's nothing wrong with a soundly constructed roster with a mix of veterans and youth.

With all due respect there is nothing balanced about the houston rockets


PG: Jose Calderon/Nate Robinson
SG: JR Smith/ Mike Dunleavy
SF: Carmelo Anthony/ Luc Richard Mbah a Moute
PF: Kenyon Martin/ Ed Davis/ Craig Smith
C:  Al Jefferson/ Jeff Foster

All we do is score buckets.

I'd start Mike Dunleavy at the two. Nice team-orientated player to help keep that lineup functioning well. Keeps JR Smith in his super-sub role player. Allows Carmelo and Big Al to eat up more touches and shot-attempts without completely killing the ball-movement.

Maybe rotate Dunleavy with Mbah a Moute as starters when facing teams with talented offensive SGs that you aren't comfortable with Dunleavy defending.
