Well, that's an awful lot to pay for Anthony Davis and a bucket o' boat trash, but it's fine by me.  Nice trade eja. 

Jayhova I think you're gonna regret trading that 1st, since you're likely to bottom out this year with that roster.  You're looking at at least two seasons in the wilderness without some deals that go in your favor.

Instead of trash I submit to thee "One dollar bills".  I mean he's got some 2nds to build with. Tad bit o youth there.

era I know you're giddy, but I'd encourage you to not respond to every single person's comments. i think that drives up the "volume" and increases the tendency to turn this into a debate, which it's not.

At least 2 people -- you and Jayhovaone -- think the deal is good value. Other folks may or may not agree. Reasonable people can come down on both sides...

well, there's the annual raping of the new GM...good job Eja

I disagree with some of what you say sir, but I will defend to the death thine divine right to say it!

Woah woah woah. This was consensual.  Like not just Ben Rothlisburger consensual either.

in our league, a new GM is like an underage person. I'm not complaining though, it was bound to happen one way or another

Trade Announcement #3


Eja trades:
- Anthony Davis
- 2014 #21 pick
- Eja's 2015 2nd rounder
- Toines Boys 2015 2nd rounder
- Xavier Henry
- James Johnson
- Jordan Farmar.

jayhovaone trades:
- David Lee
- Jeff Teague
- Ty Lawson
- Marc Gasol
- Jayhovaone's 2015 first rounder

GC, has the clock started on this deal? I'm skeptical because Hova's a returning manager who had to be replaced once already. I'm not confident he's going to see this rebuild through. But I'll wait to hear from him before making a decision.

I'm surprised by how often managers make this mistake, dealing their next 1st in the process of gutting their team.

Yes but I'm going to keep it open till Thurs morning since announcing it so late was just a courtesy -- technically it shouldn't have been announced until the trade that netted TBs 2015 2nd went through but I'm being a little flexible.

Like I said before Jay will have wished the 2 month waiting period vote passed when he looks back on this trade.  Happens every year.  Congrats your team consist of Anthony Davis and that's it.

[Gainesville Celtic]

Just a reminder that the league rookie draft will be held on Thursday, Sep. 25. ( from 12 noon to 5 pm E.S.T.)

Please be clear about how the draft works -- if you have any questions please PM me. I have 2 draft lists already and I'd like to have any lists by 11 am so I can have them ready.


From the Constitution:
------------------
II. Rookie Draft
12. The rookie draft will be held in mid-September on the CelticsBlog.com forums. Any GM unable to participate can send the commissioner or a proxy an ordered list of picks to choose from.

13. Teams have 10 minutes to make 1st round picks; 5 minutes to make 2nd round picks.

14. The time listed next to each pick in the draft thread's original post is the time the pick is due. Any GM who fails to post a selection by the deadline and who has not sent the commissioner a sufficient list of preferences will be assigned the highest remaining ranked draft pick based on the results of the actual NBA draft from earlier that summer.

15. Future draft picks may be traded on draft day, but no further than one year into the future. This is also true for trades made after the draft or during the regular season.

16. The period from the Rookie Draft to the League Cut Down Date, usually roughly two weeks before the start of the regular season, is the only time that teams may carry more than 16 players.
