it just gets better and better...

Starting at the top and going down, these teams are all just pretty amazing.  Love Malone's, Gary's, Brad's, DH, Hobbit's, Ash, mine:) and yeah snyd I like your team-except for Amare. 

oh yeah, Logain's and All3!   and...well on any given night these teams could all beat eachother.  There are no obvious weak teams.

I see one, maybe two teams that I consider weaker than the rest, mostly because I think they lack enough physical presence. But overall, lots of great teams.

Yeah there are some weaker teams on the boards/defense.  Scary offense though.

I like to believe I have a pretty sound defensive team, given the three multi-year 1st team all defensive players I'm starting. We just don't have range - I was hoping Peja would fall to me.

Hornacek, Horry and Durant hit enough 3s for my taste. I know which way I would go with your last pick, waiting to see where you do go.

i feel dum posted pick on wrong page i will pick andre miller

My favorite PG ever is still on the board.  I feel like a schmuck for not taking him.  Sorry, man.  I still love ya.

snydpie...you are insane.

1.  You get one season, or era of a player.  You do not get a Kidd that can defend and hit the open three.  You do not get the slashing, blazing quick Pistons era Hill with the three point shooting Suns era Hill.

2.  No one has three players that can break down a D, create open shots, and have scorers that can finish all get long...lets see.  why do you need a bunch of guys that are finishers?  A couple are fine.  Role players win championships.  CP3 will kill Kidd.  Moncrief probably have the best chance of hanging with Pistol this side of Jordan and Kobe, but Pistol won't keep up on D.  Bird vs. Worthy....enough said.  McHale vs. whoever is going to be the PF.  McHale holds his own on D and will draw fouls on offense as well as shoot at a very high percentage.  Cowens is the enforcer...he isn't better than Dream and is close talent wise to Ewing, but he is the better rebounder and is tough inside.

3.  You are also talking of put Worthy at PF.  Please do.  This league demands it.

4.  How am I going to defend this team you built?  CP3 is going to steal the ball from Kidd a lot or a whole hell of a lot (depending on which Kidd you use).  Moncrief is going to do much of the same with Pistol.

5.  What is next?  Are you going to draft Bol and tell us he could be a defensive stopper at PF?  Just because you draft them doesn't make them the greatest ever.  You have some D and a lot of offense.  You are a super charged version of early 90's Golden State...congrats.  Now let's quit with the sideshows and get to the main event.

U live in a dream world malone. I'm not even going to comment on your ignorance!

I promised when I took David Thompson that I would take a defensive stopper and a true pg later on. Mookie Blaylock is the guy.

6 time all-defensive team member. 4th alltime in steals per game and 5th in percentage. Not the greatest jump shooter thoughout his career but in total a 34% 3 point shooter who made over 1200 3s in his career. 3 seasons with 199+ 3s at 35.9%+  . Of course, he's a willing passer too with career 30.7% assist and one season over 40%. 29th career in assists.

Blaylock wasn't a defensive stopper but he did get alot of steals

Other than Kidd (who is just totally unstoppable no matter who covers him - LMFAO, I'll beg him to shoot), there aren't too many ultra quick PGs taken so far.  However, I suspect there will be some more in this last round, so I need somebody who can stay between them and the basket.  This guy is easily quick enough to do that, as well as take the rock from them a few times a game.  He can score well (admittedly wish he shot just a tad better), bang a 3 or so a game, rebound (especially for his size), and maybe most importantly, distibute the ball well while rarely turning it over.

                                                                                                               Terrell Brandon

                                                                                           

up to jay and the turnaround now. Haven't caught the schedule yet!

I don't see role players doin much against the talent in this league. CP3? HIS CAREER ISN'T SH!T. Paul doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Kidd at this point in his career. Kidd is one of the greatest PG's ever, Paul had 2 great seasons, WOW lets crown him and hail him King LMFAO! You have no shot blocking ability. Bird defending Worthy and Hill is a severe mismatch. Dream will kill ur front court. Dream will shut down McHale! You only have one great defensive player in Moncrief but that only goes so far in this league where the best players to ever play in the NBA reside! 

Your team is very good. I like the King pick to go with Bird but your team doesn't stand out at all.

If Golden State had players like Kidd, Dream, Ewing, Worthy, Hill, & Amare to play alongside Pistol they would've been unstoppable but they never had this kind of talent! Your G.S.comment is flat out ignorant! 

Ive been following this thread and love the arguments!!  Keep it up!  Snydie you are putting Worthy at PF?  I think that's his natural postion, playing out of position all those years in LA!  Ewing one of the best defesive centers ever??  Absolutely!  Amazing foot speed!

Worthy would mostly only play PF if we needed to press cuz we were down to score quickly to get back in the game. I already have my big 3 so he would only be a 4th option with Hill playin SF helpin out on the boards.

I'm not puttin Worthy at PF but he can play PF if need be. 

Ewing was quicker than almost every legitimate C taken so far in this draft!
