Rosters post is updated with the exception of BG's last pick. Any position shufflings you want to make, just let me know.

Can you list DeRozan at SG instead of SF please?

Edit: Thanks, TP

Quick few notes because I am new to things here:

Did my mobile post of my pick get deleted by AB_Celtic to keep things clean?
Am I expected to update my signature to reflect my team?

Obviously this league is as much as I make out of it, but am I expected to be throwing out all these crazy hypothetical trades for future picks? Call me conservative, but I like to know who is on the board before I trade away a pick.

That being said, the Grizz couldn't be happier to welcome Millsap to the team. Here is a very, very well-rounded player who, like Gasol, can act as a floor-spreading big shooting 37% (!!) from 3. Read about the Marc Gasol All-Stars on Grantland. We have the team's namesake and Millsap, a starter for the 2013-14 squad.

That being said, he is tradable if the right offer comes across my inbox.

Yes, I had already made the pick for you.

Am I expected to update my signature to reflect my team?
Some people like to, but it's not a requirement. Your team will be posted in the rosters thread, and you can edit the depth chart from there as well by PM'ing me. But, having your team and your picks in your sig makes it easier for people to talk trades with you.

If you don't want to, you don't have to. Some people like to make trades, some don't. I made almost a dozen in last years pick two, but will likely make only a few this year, if that.

Westbrook - Lawson is quite an interesting tandem...

I mean they are both talented, but kind of a similar mold as a scoring PG. Something has to give here. Who's going to be playing off the ball.

KD?

This seems to imply a little bit of sarcasm, or at least that Who thinks that it is a somewhat unrealistic line-up. I fully disagree. These three on the court together with a big who can throw outlet passes and a 3 that can run and shoot (think ______ as a possible future draft choice) is terrifying. These guys would be like the Suns, but well, better. I fully support this line-up.

Reminder: don't talk about undrafted players.

Still loads and loads of real talent left on the board. I was going to try to trade up and grab another 2nd rounder but I am not sure that is going to be necessary. Probably just continue to take BPA and build from there.

Normally with a full slate of GMs 90 players would be off the board. Now only 60 players are off. We have to draft another round and a half before we get to the point where the normal first round talent is off the board.

Think patience in letting talent drop to you will be the payoff in this draft.

Finally back on a computer. I was delighted to be able to land Batum with my late first! I did not think I would have a shot at him at all.
