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

[StartOrien]

Hey, how come no ones talking about our fake league? Did I miss something?

It must be the start of NFL preseason.

Please tell me this is a reference to ESPN SportsCenter last night leading by announcing that the trade was made, and then going through the highlights for Skins-Bills, Steelers-Eagles, and then a look into replacement refs before bringing on Marc Stein to talk about trade with a little more depth

So, if the real life Lakers and Heat were in our draft, would they be the #1 seeds in each conference?

They'd have to be, right?  They'd cruise to the Finals, I assume.

Pretty sick that the Lakers have three first rounders and 4 of the first 39 guys picked.  The Heat aren't far behind with three of the first 35.

For sure the Lakers would. I'd have to assume the Heat would as well, only thing that could stop them would be a tough matchup with bigs like my and KC teams and I think there's one other elite front court out there. 

What's funny is that after my initial shock and depression, my next reaction was 'there's no way way WD, IP and/or Roy would've approved this trade.'

That's when I knew I had a problem

Yeah ORL's "haul" reminds me of teams in CBD that have decided to go for Team of the Future and trade a star for 8 dimes.

Except TOTF are usually better than ORL will be next year. This was a moronic move by them. I honestly think they would have gotten as much or more in return if they'd told DHoward "you're playing 2012-13 for us and can leave as a FA afterwards --- like Steve Nash"

That trade for Howard would have been vetoed in the CB Draft.

If only someone would've come at me with Vucevic, Afflalo, and Harkless...

You act like you didn't turn down Vucevic, Lamb, and Parsons for Howard and Johnson.

More of less what I expected in terms of results.

If eligible for Rio, Kyrie going for SURE. While covering Team USA hearing nothing but raves about him. One of first names on 2016 roster

Good to see Irving getting some respect.

Kyrie Irving is the first rookie since Tim Duncan to average 18.5 points on a TS% of .566 or higher.  He's the first rookie guard to do it since Michael Jordan.

The kid is a stud.  You have no idea.

Hey SO, remember that time we put together a starting 5 in this game and then ESPN did a ranking of all the NBA players and the first guy in our starting 5 on that ranking was at #66? That was awesome.
