we could argue all day over the ethics of skipping in the first round...but if you look at it...did tarheel or 98 actually get screwed over in terms of missing out on players?

id say no

id have to think tarheel would have picked the obvious best player available...who is somehow still out there(we should all know who this is)....if he logged back in right now he would probably be thrilled to be able to get the guy he would have picked anyway

and 98....i see your point...i really do...but you have to understand that no one did anything wrong here...i bet tarheel would even agree...and thank you again for not being a total baby about it and quitting...and really....did you actually miss out on any players?....i feel like you would have picked payton/duncan anyway had you not been skipped


sooo......why not just give tarheel that obvious undrafted 1st rounder and have gary pick his 2nd round player?....garys a vet who knows what hes doing so i doubt hed make a bad pick here(and really how could you with all the talent still on the board)....if tarheel comes back he probably wont be mad at all with who hes got and we can move on about it...if he doesnt then gary can just fill his slot

I agree with garyman taking the spot.

oh and malone...what does DIAF mean? gotta know

Garyman's two proxy picks are definitely guys that could be taken in the spot. I am quite certain that neither is who you're referring to DH, but like I said, both seem reasonable given the place in the draft, though ultimately if we decide on him taking the spot he can post whomever he wants.

well then gary needs to double-check the available players haha

My golf tournament was rained out, so I am able to check in from the library.

Garyman can have the team.  He will give the team back to tarheel if he returns.

Just to go on the record... I withheld proxies out of respect for tarheel, not 98.  98 can go **** himself.  I believe many of you are starting to see why I've said that the past few years.  The guy is out of control emotionally and needs a reality check.  The only value he brings to this community is his willingness to continue spending lots of money on teams to keep theme leagues going when there's barely enough owners here to fill one.

@dh - 'diaf' means "die in a fire"


I truly hope 'heel is okay - he's been one of my favorite rivals here for a long, long time.

I have Blue's proxy.

How the hell is this guys defense every year but his last under 80?????!!!!!!! Anyway I got Bill Russell. Lookin for offense now.

Proxy for bluenote Chris Paul. I am site mailing next two after Blue
