2013 CB Draft : Draft Thread : VOTING ENDS 8:00PM EST TONIGHT

STATEMENT

I have been asked several times about cutting players and signing free agents. I am sorry but that is not something we are doing. If you pick a player that will be playing overseas or is injured, you will have to make do with the other players on your team.

The only team left with a free agent selection is Golden State.

I am owed one pick from Brooklyn and one pick from Washington.

Sorry I missed yesterday the Sixers select Marquis Teague and Jamaal Franklin to round out the roster.

Oops, thought this was the trading block thread.  Oh well.

I could watch this all day.

It's too bad we don't have a Toronto team because that would be perfect for their press conference.

[AB_Celtic]

Willing to talk trades throughout the weekend. Lawson, Horford, and Garnett are staying in Cleveland, though.

Also, before anyone says anything, let's just say Lamar probably won't be hanging around the Cleveland clubhouse.

Too bad.  I'd love to see KG's reaction to Lamar's off-season.

Yeah, the DUI is what I was referring to with my post.

Ouch keeps getting worse. Too bad I've always liked Odom a lot.

I've got a strong suspicion there are going to be quite a few teams that wipe themselves out by Monday making some foolish trade and then are stuck scrambling to make all their new parts fit.

Tends to happen with newer GMs a lot, they hear all the critiques and aren't confident enough in their teams and start trading. Before you know it they have a hot mess and all they did was make teams with more experienced and savy GMs better.

Happens all too often in this game.

Yeah, one of the newer GMs asked me about this.  His worry was that he had a playoff team, but not really a contender, and he was thinking of doing something drastic.

My advice:  even if you're not going to "win", there's a lot of value in getting playoff experience, debating against another GM and trying to convince others about the strengths of your team.  It's a lot of fun, and it's good practice for future drafts.
