Build an NBA Team: Rosters and Trades (Voting Link on p. 25)

[The Sixth Man]

CellarDoor, I'll probably only allow it for injuries and/or trades. randomhero423's transaction has been approved.

That wasn't a result of the trade though, that was a player he had just drafted five minutes ago. I'm not interested in Alston, so it doesn't matter to me, i'm just looking for clarification.

hero's trade changed his PG situation. I see what you're saying, but I'll allow adds/drops so long as it isn't a blatant attempt to improve SOMEONE ELSE'S team. I'm sure hero wasn't doing that here.

.......

if the team "realized they made a mistake" the guy is still around the same talent wise to their peers.

allowing uneven trades would make gm's have to cut someone. and that's stupid. doesn't make a major diff making uneven trades not allowed.

Possibly, but it's completely unrealistic. the drafting should finish before you're allowed to make cuts and acquisitions.

[The Sixth Man]

The difference with uneven trades is that there's a simple remedy--adding picks. And these aren't NBA rosters, the teams have so much depth that flat out cutting someone without picking someone up adds to the player pool without taking anything away.

I hadn't thought of it that way, though; I suppose uneven trades could be allowed. I'd still have to approve them, though.

Either way it seems to open the door to someone realizing there was someone else they wanted and then taking him despite already making the wrong pick. For instance if I had realized I hadn't drafted a PG yet and had three pfs, so I dropped AK47 to pick up Tony Parker, that shouldn't be an available remedy until all picks have been made.

Agreed with Cellar here

[Sports Arsenal]

I think that everyone had a genreal understanding that there would only be cuts/free agent signing if the player was injured( i.e. Monta Ellis) while still drafting... I think letting others correct their mistakes while drafting is ludacris... Say (Person A) Drafts Elton Brand , leaving Deron Williams available and (Person B) has Chris Paul, so (Person C )knows he will be able to select Deron Williams and makes moves to satisfy his roster with that plan. Well while (Person B) is drafting (Person A) drops Brand and Picks up Deron, that leaves (Person C) screwed... Sorry for the complexity but its true.... that should not be allowed and since we were all under the general understanding it wouldn't, I believe that transaction should be rejected

[The Sixth Man]

It seems like the general consensus is that dropping should only be allowed at this point if a player is injured after being drafted. Although I'm not sure that I agree with this, I'll have to reject randomhero423's transaction. Rafer Alston will once again be replaced by John Salmons.

[CellarDoor]

why not just allow it? i don't see what the big deal would be. if you are dropping someone then that adds a more talented player to the pool, and the team gets their guy. and if the taem is gonna cry about wanting the guy, then they shoulda picked quicker....

And you're missing the point. You shouldn't be able to draft someone, use your current assets to fill another need, then cut and redraft because your needs have shifted because of a deal you made.

bs......

Crawford Udrih and 12th pick

4

West Barbosa and 12th pick

[zong]

Trading West for Crawford is laughable, and I dont need a true point with Kobe on my team, since I'm running a triangle, I need Barbosa more than Udrih.

Also, my 12th Round Pick is the 2nd or 3rd pick of that round, so I have no reason to downgrade.

[randomhero423]

OJ Mayo can be add for a center.

The center needs to be at least solid/willing to defend.

[The Sixth Man]

I will be away from a computer until Sunday morning. Please continue with the draft as usual. If I miss my pick, then those after me can make their selections.

[calderon13]

I am entertaining offers for Peja, Thornton, Hedo, Dunleavy and Horford. Send them in at ar.maks89@hotmail.com

[Sports Arsenal]

Id have a little interest in Horford, and one of the others...

[The Sixth Man]

Is anyone interested in Steve Nash? He's not on the trading block, but I wouldn't be unwilling to trade him if the right offer came my way. I'm sure a lot of your teams would greatly benefit by adding one of the best PGs in the league.

[nba_addict]

can we drop players in the pool and pick-up undrafted players?
