[Aike]

There's one guy most qualified to coach this elite collection of talent I've assembled.

Master of the triangle and ambassador of pace and space.

Owner of a sparkling 39-4* win/loss record.

Luke Theodore Walton.

The rest of you can have your curmudgeons.

 

[UKcats1988]

I need a stretch big, I'll grab Patrick Patterson.

@gossie21 is back up

 

[gossie21]

I need some local (for me) flavor so I need to pick up a Jazz player. He's better than most people realize and I'm just going to say he's a Miss. St. product. He's also another pick from the 2014 class.

I'm taking Rodney Hood.

 

[gossie21]

@JBHolmesfan

 

[JBHolmesfan]

I'll draft one of the few players left that averaged 15ppg, 6apg and 5rpg. He's another spark plug off the bench. Give me Tyreke Evans.

 

[UKcats1988]

@Cats192

 

[Cats192]

Doc Rivers

@GonzoCat90 is up

 

[GonzoCat90]

At just 45 years old, this guy has nearly a decade of experience coaching at the highest level. He's managed superstar rosters like the ones we've assembled here. He's players first but a good strategist. And the only time he's won less than 40 games was when Chris Bosh nearly died and Wade was dinged up.

Even without Bosh, and with an aging Wade, he led the Heat to first place in the conference. Plus he's the Whiteside Whisperer and can handle charismatic GM's.


I'll take Erik Spoelstra.

I'll take Erik Spoelstra.

He also managed to get swept by my coach's team this year .

Charismatic GMs?

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

I'll take Rick Carlisle even though he sucks at dealing with charismatic GM's.

 

[UKcats1988]

@Rupp'sRunt

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

@Rupp'sRunt you're up.

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope

 

[Rupp'sRunt]

Coach that's made his rounds in the NBA and took Orlando to the NBA finals. Stan Van Gundy.

 

[UKcats1988]

@BigBlueFanGA

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

For my final pick, I'll take Harrison Barnes.

 

[Cats192]

Damn.

Value

 

[Aike]

@GonzoCat90 is OTC

 

[BigBlueFanGA]

For not watching 60 seconds of an NBA game in 15 years, I'm pretty happy with my team.

 

[GonzoCat90]

Another guy that made 200 threes while shooting better than 40% beyond the arc.

He's a great athlete. A plus defender. Never ever shys away from the moment, and has proven he can excel either as a starter or off the bench.

Give me JR Smith.

 

[UKcats1988]

@Cats192

 

[Cats192]

Jonas Valanicius (I'm sure I butchered it but I'm on my phone)

Jonas Valanicius (I'm sure I butchered it but I'm on my phone)

Great value pick. I couldn't believe he lasted this long

 

[JBHolmesfan]

I'll take Justice Winslow. He's the only player left that was on one of the All-NBA teams.

 

[gossie21]

I'll take Justice Winslow. He's the only player left that was on one of the All-NBA teams.

Thank you. I have been trying to avoid picking him for the last 2 rounds. Although he's probably the best long term prospect picked in the last 2 rounds.

I've got my pick ready, but I need some time get my post just right. I should have it done soon.

I refused to pick him too.

 

[gossie21]

For my final pick I'm not looking for value. I'm not looking for production. I'm not looking for development. I don't give a damn if he ever plays a minute for my team. I'm just going on pure emotion. My final pick gave our family of fans a series of the greatest moments in sports history. His performance in the 2014 NCAA Tournament was a tour de force. A clinic in clutch play. He is the reason that I lose my ever-loving mind each time one of our dimwitted fans whines about the 2015 Wisconsin game (....why wasn't Booker in the game.... waaaaah). He gave us everything he had and more, and most of our fans can't find a way to appropriately appreciate him (or his brother).

I leave you with the Aaron Harrison collection.

 

[gossie21]

@UKcats1988 pick away.

 

[UKcats1988]

Kent Bazemore.

@Aike is up

 

[Cats192]

Gossie has no shame.

 

[gossie21]

Gossie has no shame.

I get one pick that's just for me. It's not like I took Tyler Ulis in the 7th round or anything.

 

[Cats192]

Legit LOL'd

 

[catsfan3523]

I'm going to go ahead and make my pick since @Aike already has a coach.

The coach I pick for my team is Jason Kidd
