ATZARRRRRRR!!!!!!

Thought really long and hard about this, but whatever.

I'm picking Chicago with Luol Deng and Joakim Noah as my cornerstones. I could use that extra 4 million in my cap as well.

Great pick

It was a long hard thinking if I'd go the other way, but defense wins championships so, there.

That picture just cracked me up lol

You better grab a go-to scorer with that duo!

Yeah I have too, or maybe not. I still don't know where my direction would be to be honest. I just thought these two would be giving the team a ton defensively and that's great contributions already.

If you're drafting and you're thinking to yourself "I'd like to draft Dallas so I could build for the future around OJ Mayo" then shoot me a PM

Could you imagine if Derek Rose, Avery Bradley and OJ Mayo were on one team? They'd be dynamite in the future!

Interesting deal.  Brooklyn has the 2nd highest cap but Kobe makes a cool $10 mill more than Deron, so they might feel the squeeze later on.

Yeah, I did pause for a minute because of Kobe's salary, but I believe I still have approximately $40m to spend still.

Rich people problems, you know.

Getting anxious here... Haha

actually, I believe the Nets are 3rd behind Miami

Anybody who hasn't drafted and is love with the T'wolves..shoot me a PM for a trade

Meh, I'd happily pay 10 million more for Kobe than Deron.

Very true, they've got an extra 300k to mess with. 


GS was a team I strongly considered at #8 (along with Houston and Portland).  Nice pickup for wdleehi, though Klay over Lee is a bold move.

[fairweatherfan]

Not naming names but I'm very curious to see how far some of the guys who are underperforming/injured on big contracts will fall.  I think at least a couple will be available awfully late in the game.

[wdleehi]

I will take GS with Curry and Klay Thompson

Great pick. GS fell a while, I think.

That's the team I was referring to earlier. Suprised he took Thompson over Lee

Same. He's having a great season.

Yes he is. 


But I don't see him good enough to eat 12 million right now.  And I think later on, it will be harder to trade him because I think the players we think as equal to him make less money.   


I have the backcourt to build around for 6.2 million.  I have 65.3 million left to use. 

[BigAlTheFuture]

Ill take PHILADELPHIA 76ERS

Two keepers:
ANDREW BYNUM
JRUE HOLIDAY

Nice. If Bynum comes back healthy. This duo can be dangerous in the future.
