The rules of the draft is to draft the team with who will win the most championships from this point onward. I get to keep them from this day forward until they retire, so age is a factor. I know this is all hypothetical, subjective, etc. But my friends and I just enjoy debating and such. So don't turn this into a shit storm please  So far I had 4/5th pick (snake format). Players age matters and goal is to build team that will win most championships. A chose Lebron (1st overall) B - KD (2) C - Dwight (3) D - Wade (4) / Chris Paul (5) (that's me, drafter D) C - Blake Griffin (6) B - K Love (7) A - Kobe (8) / DRose (9) B - Melo (10) C - Amare (11) D - ?!? / ?!? So it's my turn right now to get 2 back to back picks. I'm seriously having difficulty who to pick. I know friend A has his backcourt set for the next few years (Kobe is good for only maybe 5-6 years which I think I will use as fuel when we compare the teams at the end of the draft). friend B is quite scary, his front court is pretty sick (D12, Amare, Blake) all young and barely even in their prime. I feel player C screwed up, his team can't play defense will get killed on the inside with KLove and Melo. I'm obviously need big men now. I've narrowed my list down to Pau Gasol, Dirk, Bosh, or Al Horrford. I'm leaning towards Pau Gasol and Horford. Both can play defense better than the other two, rebound better. But the big thing is that Bosh is 5 years younger than Gasol, and Dirk is 32 years old. Al Horford is young (24, I think) and stands out as a Center even on a pretty good Hawks team atm. Chime in and give me some feedback. Any players I may possibly missed? Who should I pick? I feel that if friend A will be a advantageous spot if I let either Al Horford, Bosh, or (maybe even) Lamarcus Aldridge get around and he drafts his bigs. friend B and C, have a pretty solid frontcourt, I see them drafting the likes of Russel Westbrook, Rondo, D.will, etc. (I can't draft obviously because it will overlap with my Paul and Dwade). Let me know what you guys think =) | ||

Dirk is to old, and Al isnt on a winning team. Of course Boozer/Noah are contending, and are both relatively young, and winners on the NCAA level, so you may want them. Thanks for the input. I agree with Pau; he can almost do everything and doesn't really rely on his athleticism to achieve it. Which means with age, his IQ/smarts will really shine. I thought about Boozer but he is way too injury prone. The thing with Bosh is that he played for Toronto and put up monster stats. There was nobody else there. But once he becomes the 3rd option, his play/stats dropped significantly (i'm not saying no one's stats will drop going from 1st option to 3rd (which I think will happen to KLove in the future, if he goes to teams with other options but that's another entirely different subject )). It's quite evident right now with the big 3 right now in Miami which is supposed to bring themselves to the promise land.The thing with Horford that is so attractive on my team is that with CP3 and Dwade on my team my big men aren't going to get as many touches (create scoring chances with the ball in hand, like right now with Miami - 3 players from teams where they are option 1 and create facing the basket with ball in hand). It's the intangibles that he offers and also the fact that he creates for himself with post-moves and plays off the ball. In addition, he is already doing great on a already good Hawks team. Am I wrong to think this? Plus if I leave Bosh alone, I feel friend A is going to pick him when it's his turn. His team will be LeBron, DRose, Kobe, and Bosh < I feel that team is pretty bad. They all don't play well off the ball and need the ball in their hands to become truly effective. So not picking Bosh may be a counter strategy??? | ||

Winning is going to have nothing to do with having a good team, it is going to be about getting "lucky" with a bunch of heat/chicago/okc/other roleplayers and having that team going on a Lakers/Spurs tear. For instance, if you drafter in 2000 Derrik Fisher would be worth more than Ray Allen, regardless of their skill. | ||

The real question is where does Troy Murphy go, the Celtics and the Heat both want him, the Blazers are also interested and can use him, the Knicks could always use more size. | ||

Let me know what you guys think =) I think you go with players on a contending team right now. Miami/OKC/Chicago. or bank on the Lakers being good enough this year + the next few. That being said either take superstars with a wide range of talent or "super" role players like Mike Miller that no matter what will always be sought out by a contender. | ||
