Sorry he called him first. We're not going by draft order because then it would be confusing.

Sorry that's BS. Draft order would be far less confusing than a bunch of people shouting their preferences (on a Saturday night, no less, when people should be out socializing). Now you'll have to go through responses and correct people who try to select Riley, Jackson, AJ (assuming pants uses him as coach).

I should get first crack at coach since I had the last pick in the first and last rounds. In which case I'll take Pop.

I'll take Avery Johnson if pants doesn't use him as coach.

I know you were complaining about a 15 round draft, since you picked last in that round too, but whatifsports only uses 12 players, so the last three rounds aren't really relevant.


Also, on the coaching issue....does the coach really matter that much to you?

I just didn't want to have to wait another week and go through the motions of drafting coaches.

But if it matters that much to you, then you can have Popovich.


As if NBA coaches really matter. The NBA is a player's league.

So he stole my coach??? That's really gay bro WIS doesn't factor them in anyway right?

Didn't you only get him based on being the first to shout, "I'll take Popovich!"?

This coach picking thing was a mess, that's why I'm taking Dunleavy.

Does WIS account for that? (I can't figure out how to use that fangled thing.)

I have no idea. I'm just following along. Does it account for fatigue? If not, I'll go with that whole 48 minutes per dude thing.

You gotta give your bench players some playing time. Not even Don Nelson uses a 5 man rotation.

Hey! I only have 4 white players on my 15 man roster. They may get to sit at the front of the bus when travelling but other than that no special treatment.

It does bring up a good question. I used all 12 members of my team because I think I have more depth than most of the teams in here. I also recognize that many teams have a huge superstar on their teams and would be better off just playing their guys 48 minutes. I would think that if WHAT IF doesnt recognize the value of bench players then it makes sense to just play the starters or maybe a 7 man rotation.

Ill have my lineup by 2morrow with my head coach

Rockets (TX9R)

PG- Jason Kidd 32MPG, Norm Van Lier D specialist, Jo Jo White to spell
SG- Paul Westphal 28 MPG, Rolando Blackman D specialist, R Pierce 3pt specialist
SF- Glen Rice 30 MPG, Blackman and Pierce to spell. Reid guards more athletic 3s
PF- Dave Cowens 30 MPG, Otis Thorpe and Ho Grant to split minutes based on situation
C- Moses Malone 35 MPG, Benjamin and Bowie as needed.

Carl Herrera will add moral support.

I wouldn't set minutes in stone, obviously this is about the starters who would get the bulk of the minutes. I would lean on inside out game and likely have Westphal play a lot with the 2s who are a more defensive group since he's a great scorer, Blackman was a good scorer as well.
Basically this team has roles: Kidd runs it through Moses, whoever is at PF is an all time rebounder and good passer. I have excellent outside shooters on the wings to hit shots after Malone is doubled. As a team I think this functions better than 5 all time scorers who need the ball to be succesful, and the basketball IQ is off the charts.

This is very strange. You want Darrell Walker to play more than Steve Nash, Mike Riordan to start over Mitch Richmond?

And you have 5 players not playing at all, instead of just 3.

Yup. Also, Richie Guerin should be playing 10 mpg at sg.

Oh and just because you don't like it, doesn't mean you gotta question it. I'm trying to win this thing as much as the next guy.

You didnt think that just perhaps he was trying to help you???? How many people would actually play Darrell Walker 28 minutes and the back to back MVP Steve Nash just 20? I can see why he would say something. Pretty sensitive about it there Ampy.
