Hey guys can you please refrain from mentioning undrafted players? Maybe even delete the posts with the undrafted player in question? 

.....does this involve my post? (said player has been drafted by now.) also, what's the problem with that?

That's been an unwritten rule in draft leagues forever.  Maybe it should be a written rule.  Sure, it's easy to go back and look at previous drafts, or do a search of the database, but talking about undrafted players while a draft is active is just bad form.

.....uhhh, i don't get it. any player could be a bad fit depending on the team. a player like ______ is bound to be at the tip of anyone's tongue. if you're in this league, you're bound to be aware of who to pick.

but, ok, then. the dude abides.

Deleted.

Somebody is going to be value picking the rest of the draft after spending a whopping 18 million on his first two players. but......


James Harden,



79 defense,
seriously,
I am speechless.

18 mil... that's all?

Well done so far Thomcat

Oh and I obviously like dh's Rodman/Wade duo, but I don't think the trade to make it happen was worth it.

definitely not worth it....but i wanted to mix it up...see what kind of combo i could get at 11 and 14

i was really hoping an elite big would fall to me...then pair that big with either cp3/curry/stockton

pretty happy with the wade/rodman start tho...can go a lot of different routes based on who falls to me

I'm enjoying the fact I have what I consider two steals in three rebounds. The GOAT in round one, and nailing down Donyell Marshall round three. Combined with a rebound/block/defensive monster Marcus Camby, I'm liking our start. ;-)

Parish was an interesting pick for me. I was set on Kemp, but I was shocked to discover he was no longer available. Cool things about 80-81 Robert Parish: 54.5 eFG%, 32.4 PP48 (wow!), 12.2 OReb%, and 27.1 Usg%. not to mention 91 D. 

It might end up hurting me in the end, but I have a plan to keep overall fouls low. We'll see.

This Marion trade is why we don't name undrafted players. It may still seem silly, but it's these later round guys (especially ones who usually do go early in the second) much more so then 1st rounders.

precisely, someone like me (who btw landed Gilmore in a similar if less marked slide) may be watching that player drop and hoping against hope and then here's Mr Blabbermouth going "hey isn't it funny how 'Mr usually top of the 2nd round' has almost dropped into the 3rd round?" and then 3rd party Mr clueless goes "holy **** I didn't even see that, I'm taking 'Mr usually top of the 2nd round' right now!"

by naming names you're f--king other owners but also and more importantly you could be f--king yourself - the competition has already begun after all

if you don't understand how you're potentially screwing yourself that's on you - just understand that for 50 some seasons we've taken this point to be a matter courtesy

My success is on me. There's no way I can have a greater impact on someone else's team than my own, and there's no way I can win if I don't already know what to do. Either I've put together three above average guys that'll excel in two or three categories, or I'm already done. If you can really dispute the facts of what I just said, best of luck to you.

Also, by helping someone, regardless of who it is, I am being courteous.
