So this is the scenario. The NBA is cutting 14 teams, I'll let you know which ones in a second, the 16 remaining teams are having a dispersal draft of the leftover players from the folded franchises.

I need 15 people to select a team, first come first serve and draft from the remaining players to create the new 15 MAN NBA rosters.


The Sixteen Remaining Teams are:

Atlantic
Boston Celtics - pete's montreux
Miami Heat - Walking Life
New York Knicks - Tian820
Philadelphia 76ers - Sour Patch Kids

Central
Chicago Bulls - emsteez forreal
Detroit Pistons -G.O.A.T
Indiana Pacers - Rizko
Milwaukee Bucks - Bird

Midwest
Dallas Mavericks - BRabbit
Houston Rockets - SoadRules
San Antonio Spurs - Kebab Stall
St. Louis Hawks - Master Durant 24

Pacific
Los Angeles Lakers - NoGunzJustSkillz
Phoenix Suns - Maniak
Portland Trailblazers - LeBron 23
San Fransisco Warriors - Vapid

Teams Cut & Reasons
Atlanta - Just don't deserve good sports teams. (moved back to St. Louis)
Charlotte - It should work, but it doesn't.
Cleveland Cavaliers - Just not quite enough history to make them worth keeping.
Denver Nuggets - Never advanced to the NBA Finals, just can't make the cut.
L.A. Clippers - LOL
Memphis Grizzlies - The francise is still awaiting it's first series win. It's been 15 years, it's a failure.
Minnesota Timberwolves - One conference Finals in 20 years, no thanks.
New Jersey Nets - Rarely a contender, often a bottom feeder.
New Orleans Hornets - Never lost that new team smell.
Oklahoma City Thunder - Would make a great minor league team name. Had they'd stayed in Seattle, they'd have stayed in the 16 over Phoenix.
Orlando Magic - Only room for one team in Florida and Miami has a ring and more current star power.
Sacramento - Haven't Won a Ring since they were in Rochester. Barely even been in contention. Like to keep em', but can't.
Toronto - Never even been to a conference Finals, not enough history
Utah Jazz - Let's be Serious, Utah and Pro Sports.
Washington - Changed their name from Bullets. The toughest cut, but that pissed me off.

[airchibundo507]

"L.A. Clippers - LOL"
:roll: :roll:

[emsteez forreal]

i'll take the bulls.

[SourPatchKids]

76ers please. I wonder where melo will end up.

[Rizko]

Edit: I'll take the Pacers instead.

Will trades be available? Something like "Rondo and the Celtics 1st round pick for Collison and Indiana's 1st round pick" or whatever? Not that I want to do that trade, just the first thing that came to mind.

[MasterDurant24]

Hawks.

[pete's montreux]

Celtics.

And, will the players be in their current state or primes?

[Kebab Stall]

I'll take the Spurs.


Also, f*ck you for getting rid of the Grizzlies.

[AJ2k8]

Is this like a fantasy league?

[soadrules]

Rockets!

Unless a fellow Rockets poster would like in, then I may have to give it up to him, but for now I'll take them.

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

lakers or sixers

[Maniak]

Phoenix Suns.

[Waking_Life]

The Heat

[BRabbiT]

i'm in. i'll take Dallas.

[G.O.A.T]

Edit: I'll take the Pacers instead.

Will trades be available? Something like "Rondo and the Celtics 1st round pick for Collison and Indiana's 1st round pick" or whatever? Not that I want to do that trade, just the first thing that came to mind.

YES, Great Idea.

[Lebron23]

I'll take the Portland Trailblazers.

[pete's montreux]

Ok, I'm a bit confused, and I just read the OP like four times too. We're drafting only players from the teams eliminated?

[Waking_Life]

Ok, I'm a bit confused, and I just read the OP like four times too. We're drafting only players from the teams eliminated?
I was under the initial impression that it would be a sort of integration.. but after reading the OP multiple times, im just confused.

[vapid]

I'll take the Warriors.

[BRabbiT]

Ok, I'm a bit confused, and I just read the OP like four times too. We're drafting only players from the teams eliminated?





yeah, that's what he said.

[soadrules]

Just FYI, my name is soad rules, not Soda. Just so people don't get confused with which poster, though I'm sure there isn't a 'soda' rules around here.

[pete's montreux]

Just FYI, my name is soad rules, not Soda. Just so people don't get confused with which poster, though I'm sure there isn't a 'soda' rules around here.

Shut up, sodarules.

[pete's montreux]

yeah, that's what he said.

OK, but do we have the rosters of the teams we picked? Do the Celtics have Rondo, Pierce, KG, Allen, etc, etc? Or are we starting from scratch and drafting from the eliminated teams? Do we have a 12 man roster and are drafting the 3 remaining to make 15? These are legitimate concerns.

[tian820]

New York Knicks

[BRabbiT]

OK, but do we have the rosters of the teams we picked? Do the Celtics have Rondo, Pierce, KG, Allen, etc, etc? Or are we starting from scratch and drafting from the eliminated teams? Do we have a 12 man roster and are drafting the 3 remaining to make 15? These are legitimate concerns.



he said Dispersal Draft, but it'd be more interesting to start from scratch (imo).

[pete's montreux]

I know It's a dispersal draft, but he didn't say how many each team gets to pick.

[Kebab Stall]

Shut up Pete!

[BRabbiT]

I know It's a dispersal draft, but he didn't say how many each team gets to pick.




how many?

[pete's montreux]

Shut up Pete!

Roger. I do this every time. I'm done until the OP returns. :oldlol:

[soadrules]

Shut up, sodarules.

Yessir =(.

Actually kinda like sodarules, though I'm slowly trying to stop drink it..

[Bird]

I don't mind taking the last team available, the Milwaukee Bucks.

FEAR THE DEER!!

[wTFaMonkey]

good idea

[G.O.A.T]

I'll give everybody a day to look at the players and talk about trading picks and players. From there I'll put Vapid on the clock and we'll start the draft.

We'll go six rounds adding six new players to your teams existing roster. From there sort out a roster and depth chart and post it. We'll decide what to do when we get that far.

Throw the salary cap out the window, each player and each pick is a commodity you can draft or trade.

[Waking_Life]

I think you dont necessarily need to give a day of waiting time. I imagine that as long as the first few picks have sufficient time.. that the rest of us can go over the list and make our own mock list. It would seem prudent given how long drafts tend to be. Just a suggestion..

[vapid]

I will listen to offers for the 1st pick.

[pete's montreux]

No you won't.

[BRabbiT]

I will listen to offers for the 1st pick.






Tyson Chandler & Brendan Haywood for the #1 pick???

[Waking_Life]

Tyson Chandler & Brendan Haywood for the #1 pick???
Udonis Hasslem for the Win.

[vapid]

Tyson Chandler & Brendan Haywood for the #1 pick???
Yea right.

[EroticVanilla]

Udonis Hasslem for the Win.
Your team is going to be ridiculous, with the 9th pick you'll be in line to fill the only real flaw with the Heat. there are 4 centers on that list that are worthy of being picked 9th over-all and I can't see them all get picked before that (5 if you count Dwight, but I assume he'll be a top 3 pick).

[EroticVanilla]

Tyson Chandler & Brendan Haywood for the #1 pick???
LOL at that offer. Vapid can get Dwight who's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> x 1,000 better then Haywood and Chandler combined.

[Waking_Life]

Dont assume that I will be good at this. I enjoy the game but am mediocre at playing it. History has proven so in other drafts. :oldlol:


I did of course pick the Heat for their obvious value. :D

[BRabbiT]

LOL at that offer. Vapid can get Dwight who's >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> x 1,000 better then Haywood and Chandler combined.




fine, I'll throw in Alex Ajinca.

happy???

[Rizko]

Dont assume that I will be good at this. I enjoy the game but am mediocre at playing it. History has proven so in other drafts. :oldlol:


I did of course pick the Heat for their obvious value. :D
If you **** this up you don't even deserve to watch the NBA again. I might make stupid picks in the all-time drafts, but thats because I don't really know enough about old-time players, but in a modern draft I can dominate (as shown by my beastly team in the modern day NBA draft).

I want DWIGHT to form a twin towers with Hibbert :pimp:

[Maniak]

And by twin towers you mean a really nice tower then a quaint office building.

[Rizko]

And by twin towers you mean a really nice tower then a quaint office building.
Basically. Ones the Empire state building and the other is the broken down sandwich shop next door thats about to be foreclosed.

[pete's montreux]

Basically. Ones the Empire state building and the other is the broken down sandwich shop next door thats about to be foreclosed.

Don't be that harsh. One is a billion dollar office building in Dubai while the other is a budding business looking to expand.

[EroticVanilla]

Don't be that harsh. One is a billion dollar office building in Dubai while the other is a budding business looking to expand.
Thats a better analogy. Hibbert and Collison were the main reasons I chose the Pacers (instead of the Bucks, my initial pick).

[soadrules]

Sour Patch Kids or Vapid, interested in anybody on the Rockets?

[Maniak]

The thinking process for my team:

I could be cool and pick the Suns, or I could be gay and not pick the Suns.

[vapid]

So if no one wants to trade I'll pick in a few minutes.

[MasterDurant24]

I'll trade you Joe Johnson for the 1st pick. If you want anything else, let me know.

[EroticVanilla]

I'll trade you Joe Johnson for the 1st pick. If you want anything else, let me know.
Better then Rabbits, but really? Dwight, CP3, D-Will Durant, and Carmelo are all better then JJ.

People are taking Vapid for a ****ing fool

[Maniak]

Vapid, I'll trade you an asian for the first pick.

[BRabbiT]

Better then Rabbits, but really? Dwight, CP3, D-Will Durant, and Carmelo are all better then JJ.

People are taking Vapid for a ****ing fool






i wasn't serious:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[Bird]

The Milwaukee Bucks' first round pick is on the block.

Need a top SF or PF in return.

[pete's montreux]

Vap, Jerry Sichting and a hobbled Pete Maravich for your first 4 picks?

[EroticVanilla]

i wasn't serious:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Calm down Bankshot!!!!!!!!! Just feel like insulting everyone involved in this draft that isn't me. :D

**** you LeBron 23 ad your needlessly wordy posts!

[MasterDurant24]

Better then Rabbits, but really? Dwight, CP3, D-Will Durant, and Carmelo are all better then JJ.

People are taking Vapid for a ****ing fool
But I really want Durant... :cry:

[G.O.A.T]

Vapid,

I'll offer my number three pick plus Tayshaun Prince and Jason Maxiell for the #1

[BRabbiT]

Calm down Bankshot!!!!!!!!! Just feel like insulting everyone involved in this draft that isn't me. :D

**** you LeBron 23 ad your needlessness wordy posts!




:hammerhead: :lol

[EroticVanilla]

But I really want Durant... :cry:
Yea. I hope that Dwight falls to me, but I expect either D-Will or CP3 will be the ones that actually get that far down.

[vapid]

Vapid, I'll trade you an asian for the first pick.
Already have the only asian-american in the league thanks.

I'll keep the pick and take Kevin Durant.

Just in time. Most of the big guns are gone, but Darko's still on the board :rockon:

[tian820]

Probably easiest pick of the draft. Arguably should have gone number 1, fills a huge need and the guy the Knicks actually want in reality lol.

Carmelo Anthony

I think Paul and Howard were undisputed two picks above Anthony though, Howard would've been first, regardless of team if I had first pick.

[Rizko]

Well my prediction held true. So with the 5th pick I'll take Deron Williams:

I think Carmelo's probably a better all-around player than both of them right now though. You can definitely argue that those guys might have been higher picks based on the ability to build around them though. Paul has an argument considering how much he helps his teammates, but Dwight's not as good as Melo IMO.

Dwight's defense and rebounding are hard to come by though, and he still puts up 20 ppg on good efficient against most team. It kinda depends on the type of team you have really, a team with a lot of offense already could benefit from Dwight more then Melo and vice-versa for a good defensive team.

I mean his position is definitely the argument for picking him higher. Big, athletic centers who can affect the game on both sides of the balls aren't particularly easy to come by

[SourPatchKids]

I have a feeling emsteez won't be picking for a while. Should we skip him wait or have someone pick for him?

We'll wait, Maniak won't be on until 3:30 PST tomorrow anyway.

No rush here...it's only six rounds.

If someone goes 24 hours without a pick we'll skip them or find a fan of the team to replace them.

[emsteez forreal]

i'm gonna go with someone i wish the bulls really would have picked up, big al.

[Waking_Life]

So its SodaMan next and then the Bird..

[soadrules]

Where do I post the pick? And how can I see who everybody has taken?

[soadrules]

Nevermind, I skipped a page while browsing.

My pick will be Gerald Wallace. An underrated scorer to go with my front court, and a capable defender who can lock down the opposing wing. I think he compliments the team well and him + Scola will do the dirty work. He can also get easy buckets and when we bring out the small lineup with Chuck Hayes he can run-and-gun with Lowry running the break.

[Waking_Life]

Bird is up..

[Bird]

With the 8th pick in the 2010/2011 ISH OTC SIM Draft the

http://www.sportslogos.net/images/logos/6/225/full/5318.gif

select

http://www.nba.com/media/nets/brook_91809.jpg
Brook Lopez, PF/C, New Jersey.

The Bucks are proud to have a quality 7 footer drop into their laps at pick 8 and will be starting Brook at PF, alongside Aussie import Andrew Bogut.

[Waking_Life]

Waking Life Selects Marc Gasol


http://www.nba.com/media/marc1_627.jpg



Marc Gasol saw his numbers improve across the board last year in his sophomore season for Memphis. Gasol averaged 14.6 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks per game. His 58.1 field goal percentage was one of the best in the league.

Gasol would be the perfect center to plug up the middle and defend for a team that already holds LBJ, Wade, and the mid-jumping Bosh.

[Lebron23]

With the 10th overall pick in the 2010 dispersal draft The Portland Trailblazers selects Kevin Love from UCLA. Love averaged 14 ppg, and 11 rpg in the NBA last season. He's one of the best rebounders in the NBA. Kevin would be the perfect starting PF for the Blazers.

http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MOksDA1nxB4/STgk_YKp0vI/AAAAAAAAABM/ciR60HKxQts/S660/kevin+love.jpg

[Kebab Stall]

Oh shit, I forgot about this. I'll make my selection in due time. Can someone give me a list of all the players that have been selected so far? I can't be arsed to go through 100 posts to find the 10 that I need.

[Kebab Stall]

Since none of you morons decided to update me with a list and I'm too lazy to look through the past few pages, I'm making my selection, if he's already been picked, then fine, give me a PM and let me know's been picked and I will pick someone else, but right now, you're all a bunch of ***** for not helping me out.

My selection is, Tyreke Evans.

If he has been taken then I'll change my selection.

http://www.scubeblog.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/0b7db_nba_g_nene_580.jpg

A legit big-man with a myriad of offensive skills. Our front-line gets tougher and younger. With Rondo setting him up for baskets and defensive minded team, he'll up his defense and want to run. His numbers should jump all around.

Who picked for value and who is picking solely for team needs?

[MasterDurant24]

http://www.wcbias.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/chauncey-billups-denver-detroit.jpg

After the playoff breakdown, this team showed it needs somebody to lead the team, and there's not many better in that aspect than my man Chauncey Billups. He also provides even more outside shooting to a pretty good outside shooting group. I also like a point guard combo of Billups/Bibby.

JJ, Marvin Williams, and Al Horford are on the block.

[Kebab Stall]

Seriously, How did I get Dwight Howard at #3

Far and away the most valuable player in this draft...

The only All-NBA elite Big Man a pre-requisite for 85% of Champions in NBA history.

How did that happen?

I was thinkin' , alright, I'll have my choice between two of these three CP3, Durant and Melo and then somehow Howard falls to me.

If only the Pistons could have a player like him, ahhh soooo nice.

Not to be "that guy", but if were going to actually rate these teams their is a huge advantage to teams like the Heat (not to pick on you Zen, but seriously)

If you were going to rate teams you shouldn't have just given out draft position just based off of the teams record last year, but also looked at how much the roster improved and take that into consideration. An example of this would be the Knicks picking over me, Knicks are obviously the better of the 2 teams, but finished with a worse record so they get good draft position. (again not trying to pick on others, just using it as an example) You also should have done a regular instead of serpentine style draft. Teams like the Warriors need all the help they can get.

[pete's montreux]

Oh wait, I forgot i wanted to keep the pick. Oh well atleast we have a 3 point shooter at last.

Does anybody want Joe Johnson or Mavin Williams?

[pete's montreux]

I checked this goddamn thread from my phone like 12 times today, lay off me. :oldlol:

Well, I wouldn't have done the trade unless the pick was included, too little for what I'm sending. CP3 ain't enough for Rondo and Pierce, that's for damn sure.

If the trade goes through, my next pick stays the same. I can't believe he fell to me given that he's a bonafide superstar, only a few seasons off from nearly two 30 ppg seasons and a slew of game-winners. He may not be 100%, but I'll take a 70% Gilbert Arenas on my team any day of the week.

And by the way, in the OP, you've got the Hawks as a team that's been cut and as the St. Louis Hawks in one of the divisions

[pete's montreux]

Wait, now that I think of it, Gilbert might be better off on the bench. Be the go-to-guy with the second unit. Do work. He'll have the green-light whenever he touches the ball. 24-30 MPG for him would be fine.

Already taken.

[Kebab Stall]

Already taken.
Ahh ****!


I'll go with Zach Randolph, for the same reasons as listed above.

[pete's montreux]

Check the OP to see who's been taken.

I edited my previous post, I'm gonna take Randolph. I do need to find a suitable SF to replace Jefferson, or atleast split the minutes with him, but there's no one worth taking this high yet. Maybe in about round 3 or 4 I can get a decent SF.

[pete's montreux]

Now, that's a cancer! :lol

[BRabbiT]

This draft is gonna be judged based off pure skill and production. Quit trying to change the subject! Gilbert can play damnit!




i'm just killing time til DAL picks again:lol

[Kebab Stall]

Now, that's a cancer! :lol
I'm assuming, we're taking players based on their current play. In which case, Randolph is a great addition. Sure he's not going to do dick for me on the defensive end, but offensively, he's going to fill it up. I just need some defense and a SF now.

[pete's montreux]

Word. Zach had a tremendous season. All-star baby!

The Portland Trailblazers selects 6'4" Marcus Thornton from LSU. Last season he averaged 14.5 ppg, 2.9 rpg off the bench.


By the way Lamarcus Aldridge and Rudy Fernandez are on the trading block.

Spurs depth chart so far,

SG: Manu / Hill / Anderson
PG: Evans / Parker / Hill


Pretty much everyone is available for the right offer.

After all of the shit the OP got for picking Durant...looks like 56% of NBA gm's would have made the same decision :lol

The Milwaukee Bucks, after much deliberation, have decided to stick to their ever burgeoning group of young players and draft

http://clippers.topbuzz.com/albums/eric-gordon/Eric_Gordon_holds_his_Clippers_jersey_with_his_mom _Denise_Gordon_and_cousin_Richard_Bishop.jpg

Eric Gordon, SG, LAC.

With the adept outside shot the Bucks definitely need, Gordon finishes out the starting five of :

PG - Brandon Jennings
SG - Eric Gordon
SF - John Salmons
PF - Brook Lopez
C - Andrew Bogut

(Bench and depth will be revealed later).

Can we have a list of players already taken?

Can we have a list of players already taken?

First post of the thread buddy

[soadrules]

First page - got it.

I'm going to take Joe Johnson. Despite him being trivial in the playoffs he's big time and I think with the focus not being completely on him, he has a chance to shine and be a scorer when needed. Plus, he's a damn good player, a top 5 SG (I think?) and can be used for trade fodder.

Yep yep, I just checked that, and I was in the middle of writing my poster and checking who I wanted for sure so I couldn't reply. My bad about that.

lol And if you caught up with the rest of the thread, you'd see that there's a discrepancy between the listed teams that are taken and those that are available to draft from. The Hawks fall in both lists. Someone owns the Hawks so that team actually isn't available to choose players from. Pick again please

Oh damn, I feel like a complete idiot. Sorry about that once again!

I guess this makes my choice: Chris Kaman. A good backup/starting center in case Yao gets injured and can take the place of Luis Scola to make a big lineup. (Yao + Kaman = slow as hell, but potentially dangerous for any team to go against as they clog up the paint).

And here's my lineup so far:

Aaron Brooks/Kyle Lowry
Kevin Martin/Shane Battier/Courtney Lee
Gerald Wallace/Shane Battier/Chase Bundinger
Luis Scola/Chris Kaman/Chuck Hayes
Yao Ming/Chris Kaman/Brad Miller

You're good now. Emsteez and Rizko coming up

[MasterDurant24]

Chauncey Billups
Joe Johnson
Josh Smith
Andrea Bargnani
Al Horford

Our outside shooting is great, let's not forget Mike Bibby, Jeff Teauge, and Marvin Williams on the bench. Al Horford is up for trade along with Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. I want a post scorer.

[soadrules]

Anyone on the Rockets interest you? (Specifically my pickup in Chris Kaman)

[pete's montreux]

That Hawks bug is going around. :lol

[Kebab Stall]

Anyone on the Rockets interest you? (Specifically my pickup in Chris Kaman)
Battier

[Rizko]

Proposed 3 team trade:
Rip Hamilton for emsteez current pick

and

Danny Granger for Gerald Wallace

Why each team does it:
Rockets- Granger helps spread the floor for Aaron brooks, he's a driver and needs the space to operate in the paint. Also gives you a go to scorer, something I don't think Kevin Martin is suited for.

Bulls- Gives a veteran presence in the back court who also plays really well off the ball, great compliment to Rose.

Pacers- Wallace adds defense and rebounding to my team, Hibbert isn't known as a good rebounder. Wallace also plays off the ball a little better then Granger IMO, he'll be a good compliment to Deron Williams. I also have 2 people that I want to pick with my next pick and this trade will determine which direction I go.

Josh Smith + Bargnani OR Horford

for

John Salmons + Andrew Bogut OR Brook Lopez

Gives you the guaranteed post scorer you want and upgrades me defensively at the 3.

[ZeN]

So who is on the clock?

[EroticVanilla]

So who is on the clock?
Steeze and then me. I would draft right now, but I want some conformation/denying of my trade before I draft.

[Rizko]

**** it. Deal's off. I'll just take Paul Millsap.

[tian820]

My pick?

Speed guy for my system and gotta think he's the best value at this pick:

Devin Harris

Come across that river

[G.O.A.T]

What happened to the Bulls pick? (emsteez forreal)

[G.O.A.T]

Well on we go...

I'll take Antawn Jamison

Sour Patch 76ers on the clock

[tian820]

What happened to the Bulls pick? (emsteez forreal)

It had been more than 12 hours when Rizko made his pick. Maybe someone should PM him or something, but I'm thinking he just forgot

[MasterDurant24]

Josh Smith + Bargnani OR Horford

for

John Salmons + Andrew Bogut OR Brook Lopez

Gives you the guaranteed post scorer you want and upgrades me defensively at the 3.
Um, I'm going to hold out on this one. See if anyone will give me a little better deal. Don't particulary like the amount of defense and rebounding being lost.

[emsteez forreal]

who's left so i can pick?

[SourPatchKids]

rudy gay. but i forgot if i traded my pick away.

[tian820]

rudy gay. but i forgot if i traded my pick away.

He's also been drafted, but you should figure out if this pick is yours or not before picking again

[SourPatchKids]

:( ill wait

[pete's montreux]

I took the deal because of the pick. The pick is the deal-breaker for me. Either you want it or you don't.

[pete's montreux]

Well if he thought he traded his pick away, then it must be mine.

So, that trade is for real.

The Boston Celtics trade Rajon Rondo and Paul Pierce to the Philadelphia 76ers for Chris Paul, Andre Iguodala and their current pick.

With this pick, I choose:

Smith + Bargnani + 4th rd pick

for

Salmons + Bogut + 3rd rd pick

You get to swap picks, move Horford to his natural PF position, upgrade from a scoring, light rebounding Bargnani to a scoring, rebounding, blocking C in bogut.

I get a defensive upgrade at the 3, scoring PF and move Lopez to my C spot.

[tian820]

So now it's Vapid with the back to back?

[emsteez forreal]

how the hell can you know who to pick?

[Bird]

Done deal.

That's what i'm talking 'bout, Milwaukee's and Atlanta's front offices gettin' shit done.
