Bold pick BDubs..Embiid health scares me but if he healthy, he could be best player in this draft

Agreed.

Yeah,
It was kind of a no brainer for me.  there is a little worry, but long term he's the guy if healthy.  I might have taken him #1 if I had to.  Thankfully since I had #3 & knew he would slip to me I didn't have to do much thinking.  I stash him for a year while he gets right and I bank on a higher pick than I would have had next year.

OK, I'm picking.  Offers just aren't what I'd want....  MMSB selects

MARCUS SMART (Smaahht)

[The Walker Wiggle]

MARCUS SMART (Smaahht)

You'll have to be patient, but I believe in Marcus, like that pick a lot.

I have LB17's pick at #5...

[Gainesville Celtic]

LarryBird17 sent me a list... the next available player on his list is:

Dante Exum

Perhaps he sent you an earlier list... he sent me one last night saying disregard the earlier list (which I never got). So maybe he sent you the first list....

[BDubs]

Which might be the first real bold move of the first round, Juggernauts2 selects. . .


Elfrid Payton

[Gainesville Celtic]

Bdubs/Juggernauts back on the clock until 1pm.

Utah's up

[BDubs]

I'm willing to listen to offers for the #14 pick.  Just remember I have a young team and really have no use for older players.

[The Walker Wiggle]

All Waiver Wire Team:

SG James Anderson (DDodgers) 10.2 pts, 1.5 3s, and 3.7 rb

I was awfully proud of that pick up. I 've been rooting for Anderson since the Rockets drafted him. What I didn't see coming was my #2 two guard signing with Zalgiris Kaunas. *Sigh*

He's available for a song if anybody wants to stash him.

SAME LIST. I'll just wait off stage until the 2nd round...

Wow lot of stuff going on here before a basketball is even bounced...

Just a quick 2-cents:

Unless Jay is absolutely resolute on seeing this deal and his team thru long-term, why not just amend the deal for (as was said by WW) the "good of the league."  Something like swapping out the 1st round pick that Jay is sending out with a 2nd round pick instead. 

I know that would be a tough pill to swallow for Eja, and I normally despise the idea of intervening in deals, but maybe if we allow Jay to keep that pick he'll be more intent on seeing his rebuild thru since it becomes a somewhat more viable path.

I'd  feel better about the deal if we go with this "for the good of the league"  suggestion of changing the first rounder Jay gives up.

I think we all would, but it doesn't seem like EJA is touching that one.

Listen guys i like the trade i am going to see my rebuild thru and to be honest with you a trade should not be nixed because the league does not like it a trade should only be nixed because of collusion and believe me there is no collusion.  I will rebuild my team the way i need to.  I traded away pices in the points league 4 years ago and now my team is in the middle of the pack.  Whatever you guys decide is fine but i want it to be known that i like the trade an i am ok with it.  I am active in the points league and i will be active in this league to those of you who question my attentivness to the league because i didn't make moves a 6 or 7 years ago when this league was started.  I don't tank and i don't cheat.

Meaningless aside but seeing SAME in caps makes me giggle now b/c everytime, for example, that my 2 year old and I wear matching black shoes he yells

SAME!!!

I was furious about this mix up, but you still made me chuckle. Cute kid.

Jay, good to hear from you. You probably read through the posts from yesterday but I think the general consensus was that you vastly overpaid and that that worried folks about the future of your team and your involvement. Don't know that anyone suggested collusion or cheating.

That said there was a suggestion made that Eja deal back that #1 pick, but that's wholly up to him.
