2012 - CB Draft: "How's My Team Look?"

[Gomesfan]

Monta and Durant won't work IMHO

That's cause we wouldn't give him away to you.... Of course we wouldn't, he a 20 and 6 ppg guy!

What Gomesfan said.

Not speaking of Monta in this case, but I have a feeling that even with some of MY OWN potential trades, GMs here were attempting to pry certain players off of me that some GMs here DIDN'T like...only to hype them up successfully once they were able to pry them away from me.

It's all good, though.

That's it right there. All the teams that where tearing him down where the teams sending me multiple offers for him, for the most part. I am not trading g a guy with his stats for two third string down the bench guys like a Hollins and say Mikkis Moore. No one offered those exact guys but insert Yout own names. All it took was one guy that's respected on here to say one negative thing about him and bam he's a ball hogging guard who's worthless and people expect you take except ridiculous offers that a real gm would stop even dealing with the other.
Monta is a guy who can score and get assists and there a plenty successful teams in the league who have these guys... LeBron.... Westbrook.... Etc.....Didn't the Warriors get a little worse after losing him?

Haha welcome to the CB draft my friend.  There are certain guys who's reps are a bit tarnished here, and there is a lot of gamesmanship that goes on between GMs.

Also, a lot of this is your own doing (and by own i mean you and your co-GM).

You guys flooded these boards over the past few days with pleading solisitations for Monta deals.  At one point i think it was every 3rd or 4th post was from the Knicks asking for offers on Ellis.  I myself got a PM asking if i would make an offer, i replied that it would be too cost prohibitive to try and obtain Monta for me, and i got a response back asking me to just throw anything out there.

Personally i think the Durant/Ellis combo can work, but you guys are going to need to make a compelling arguement to convince the masses.

no need to welcome me to the Draft, it's not my first rodeo!

Guys, will have to apologize for my limited activity in the pressers in advance. I took a few days off last week and am kind of knee deep in it trying to catch up.

I'll do my best to partake in the PM

Here's how I see the battle for the 8th/9th seed in each conference going:

8. Orlando
9. Cleveland

8. Phoenix
9. Oklahoma City

I'm open-minded, though.  Convince me that I'm overlooking something on your team, and I'll adjust my rankings accordingly.

Well, Kevin Love is the best PF in the league. Steve Nash is top 5 at his position. I have arguably the best starting 5 in the league. Not to mention, each player on my team compliments each other very well. I don't there is another team out there that fits together as well as the Phoenix Suns. I believe that my team is a title contender and should be top 3 in the conference.

I don't have you near my top-3, obviously.  That's primarily due to the defense.  I think Nash / Richardson is very weak in the back court, and that's going to expose you.

I do think you're a playoff team and don't see you dropping down.  However, I'm probably not as high as Kevin Love as you are.  Great player, but I don't see him in, say, Dirk's company yet.

[Who]

I have three teams competing for the bottom two spots in the East - New York, Orlando, Cleveland. Not leaning one way or the other right now.

In the West, I also have four teams competing for the final two spots -- GSW, New Orleans, Denver and Oklahoma City. Pretty sure I am going to have New Orleans in there. That leaves three teams. Still leaning towards Golden State as my eight seed.

I think a strong argument could be made that whichever two teams miss out in the West, they'll be stronger than the final two teams who make it into the playoffs in the East.

Okc has a very well functioning starting 5 with players that would work well together. Okc has crazy depth! when injuries occur during the course of a season okc features starting level reserve players that can step right in and the team wouldn't suffer due to the loss of a starter for significant time.

Wait for the ballot.   Both the Celts and Wizards are in my top five in the East.

Lol it seems you're more concerned and interested in my team than even your own.

Sorry, it wouldn't have worked.  Edgar beat you to the "Draft The Best Player In The World" strategy.
