2015 Draft a Franchise (NBA): Discussion.

[SecretAgentMan]

lmao, do you two have to piss him off every time?

It's the only way he Ever picks

[-Truth-]

He was PM'd, had his post quoted, was in the Draft thread and then signed offline. It's difficult to judge intent based on an isolated incident, but not when it becomes a clear pattern. Should we go back to the drawing board on this one?

I'm assuming he's aware he's up but just pondering over his options. It's a bit inconvenient he doesn't give any kind of notification or heads up, however.

Considering he is allowed 24 hours to make a choice. Can't punish someone within the rules

I don't buy it. I can almost guarantee a half-baked excuse in the works.

It's annoying that he always takes so long, but I don't see anything that can be done about it. I find it hard to believe he is purposefully waiting just to frustrate everyone, and even if he is there is still no way to prove intent or do anything about it within the framework of the game.

Agree on most accounts. The only option we'd have would be to reduce the allotted time, but that's not possible with the overseas members and would only punish the other GMs anyway. Unless he puts it in writing that it's deliberate, I don't see a foolproof method of proving the intent neither. I wouldn't find the scenario above difficult to believe, though it's more likely than he simply doesn't care for others involved.

Good pick in Dragic

Solid player who can play both guard spots

[CalvinSmoke]

Nice Dragic pick, I was strongly considering him. Great, exciting player

[NFLfan123]

Nice pick with Derozan

[CalvinSmoke]

Nice pick with Derozan

Thank you, points for presentation?

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

I was struggling between Dragic and Lawson but the decision was made for me

[gabefergy]

Bledsoe and Westbrook. My backcourt is going to destroy.

Tons of athleticism

It's got a good beat, but you can't dance to it. I give it a 35.

[gabefergy]

Tons of athleticism 

That's what I'm going for. Up tempo just like the Suns were this past season. No one can stay in front of either one.

[BALTIMOREFLACCO]

I think we just missed stm

I very much like that combination. Both can defend, score, pass and rebound. Tons of athleticism there. Great pick.

[-Truth-]

I assume we're not taking contracts into account, right? Can we simply assume that every player has a multi-year deal?

I think we are just assuming we get these guys for the forseeable future.

Thank you. I like the combo a lot too.

[NFLfan123]

In terms of Bledsoe and Westbrook, I have one problem. Both are very similar players. Great athletic defenders who love to penetrate on the offensive side of the ball. The reason the quick and speedy Dragic-Bledsoe combo worked so well in Phoenix is because Dragic was a sharp shooter scorer who complemented Bledsoe well. I'm not sure if Westbrook and Bledsoe will mesh well together.

Bledsoe is a very good shooter too though, and it's not like Westbrook can't shoot either. He's not as good a shooter as Dragic but he can bury open 3's. Most importantly there is no way any team can stop them from getting to the hoop.

Depends on who you surround them with but I like it so far

I thought so, and good.

You're not wrong, but I feel like both guys are best with the ball in their hands, which could be tricky. It's certainly a scary combo to go up against.

[allblackraven]

You people are not kidding, plenty nice picks.

[CalvinSmoke]

crap, I didn't think Bledsoe would go already. He was absolutely going to be my next pick. No questions asked

[Inqui]

Back in Auckland and able to use a device that isn't my phone. Time to grab some pictures and make a big board.
