Except he put up even better stats when they left.

I can't even imagine how many points a team like Alex's would put up on BLTJSNY's... 200?

Maggette is not only great value at this point but is such a sick, sick fit on that team that it makes up for Horford. Life if you took Maggette last round, I'd say that would have been fairly reasonable. Having a guy who can slash and finish and get to the line with Kidd is going to make for a pretty crazy offense.

Ya cause God McHale played PF and amazing Parish played center.

He struggled less vs PF's on defense than vs SF's I believe. Plus I don't see how PF's would have an easier time on D vs him, most PF's don't want to leave the paint on D, imagine if they had to guard someone like Bird at the 3pt arc who can also put the ball on the floor.

It's like Dirk but better for you. Dirk also struggles mostly vs SF's than he does vs PF's. And when the opponent puts their SF on u, u coulda used someone like Maggette to go at their PF.

I can match up however I want on defense. Weak picks later on might make me switch it up I've got a flexible unit.

God just stop arguing everything I want to punch you.

Agreed. I think would be much better if everytime someone was injured they were insta-subbed by a clone at the same age. Then there would be no discussion about this at all. Though some players would have gone wayyyyyyy higher obv.

I don't know why you're implying that BLJ's team is bad at defense, because its not. horford doesnt hurt you that much and although mitch isnt a great defender he doesnt hurt you either. kidd is good, and maggette can hold his own. there are weaker defensive teams for sure imo.

well the fact that we changed to reverse snake made having a top pick not much more valuable if at all.

Also I think Thunder Dan is a solid pick with nath's team (obv I'm a bit biased). He gives you a pretty solid shooter who will be a lot better on this team because he is basically the 4th offensive option at this point (i.e. a lot of open 3s) and he just isn't a liability anywhere else.

Bobbo I know it looks wierd with Dirk/Dan at the wings but I think of all teams this is the one that is obv going to need to play matchups a lot so I wouldn't judge it until the drafting is done.

hes pretty much undraftable because you'll get him at 24 already with that career ending injury.

No way. I'd still way rather have a top 10 pick than bottom 10. Like, by a lot.

edit: after not liking it, seeing it in action made me like it, is what i mean

Also Bobbo for a guy who was complimenting a lot of other players for forcing more turnovers than they cause you give no props despite the fact that Majerle had 1.4 steals, .4 blocks and 1.3 TO for his career.

He played the same position as Pippen and came off the bench for him. Nobody ever argues that Pippen is overrated because he played with Jordan, in fact it's the opposite, that Pippen would have been counted as one of the greatest players had he not spent his career with Jordan. Obviously Pippen was a better player than Kukoc but I think the Jordan effect has to be considered pretty much the same for both of them. Kind of like Mchale playing with Bird and Parrish. Anyway his best statistical year was when he finally got to start after Jordan and Pippen were gone.
