[Larry89]

meh I'm directly in the middle

plus the robinson pick ruined my plans, of tim + drob, probably the best big man duo to ever play the game together

 

[SLAB]

On the Clock:

Kings Faithful
Kings4lyfe32

Just a reminder.
And can a mod change to "Round 2 Underway"

 

[SacKings7]

Have PM's been sent to both? Maybe people forgot about the "2 people on the clock" rule. I know I did.

 

[Kings Faithful]

[Larry89]

[kingsnation]

Ditto.

 

[vikinginferno]

what is the purpose of the 2 people on the clock?

I'm pretty sure it is to speed up the draft a bit. When one of the two people drafts, can another person draft?

 

[kingsnation]

Is it just me or does that guy under Ewing's left arm look like Mark Cuban?

 

[vikinginferno]

Is it just me or does that guy under Ewing's left arm look like Mark Cuban?

Kinda, is it just me or does he and some of the people around him also look 2 dimensional?

 

[kingsnation]

Yeah I agree. I think it must be the angle of the shot?

 

[kingsnation]

But it's kind of funny because if you look at some of the people, they are staring completely away from Ewing.

 

[Larry89]

Well theres some great players left.. hopefully the guy I want is there by the time I get to pick

 

[vikinginferno]

I'm going to ask it again, when one of the two people on the clock makes a selection can the next person after those two pick or does he have to wait for the second person to pick?

 

[SacKings7]

Pretty certain the next person can pick, and that ya don't have to wait for both to pick. That'd kind of defeat the purpose of having 2 people on the clock. And it also puts pressure on people to pay attention to this draft because 24 hours could cost them a couple of players that they may want.

 

[Jespher]

Of course the counter argument for this rule is that it penalizes people for having a life outside the internet...

 

[Warhawk]

True, but the rule was set up prior to the start of the draft. And it is just a mock draft on a message board.....

There is life outside the internet?

 

[Larry89]

gotta love these drafts, the fun begins in the later rounds

 

[kings4lyfe32]

Isiah Thomas (player of course)

[Larry89]

Lizard and Peja are up

 

[kings4lyfe32]

so am I supposed to send a pm to Peja as well?

 

[SacKings7]

so am I supposed to send a pm to Peja as well?

Kings Faithful should've sent a PM to LoungeLizard, so you should only need to send a PM to tradepeja.

Nice pick btw. That stops anybody from grabbing him as a coach

 

[Kings Faithful]

What do you mean I'm supposed to send a PM to LoungeLizard??? Aren't we just supposed to send it to the next guy in line?

 

[vikinginferno]

NOOOOOOO!!! You ruined my whole plan!

 

[SacKings7]

What do you mean I'm supposed to send a PM to LoungeLizard??? Aren't we just supposed to send it to the next guy in line?

I really don't know, I'm just assuming stuff here. Better let SLAB or Jespher answer that one

 

[Bricklayer]

Isiah Thomas (player of course)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isiah_Thomas

I just realized you teamed Isiah Thomas with Karl Malone -- you do realize that Karl once tried to kill the little **** with an intentional flying elbow chop don't you?

As an aside, not really feeling the spoilers on the draft list -- makes it a pain to eyeball who has been taken and not.

 

[vikinginferno]

I really don't know, I'm just assuming stuff here. Better let SLAB or Jespher answer that one

KingsFaithful hasn't even picked yet, so why would he have to send a PM?

 

[kingsnation]

As an aside, not really feeling the spoilers on the draft list -- makes it a pain to eyeball who has been taken and not.

Agreed.

 

[Larry89]

surprisingly theres 1 man that I expeected to go very much higher that hasn;t been taken yet..
