DarthTunick

 

I mean, you're not wrong.

 

His team abbreviation is LAC ...

 

no, i meant oops as in i forgot to tag tom in that post. shaq was very much who i wanted out of what was left.

 

think he was talking to me.

 

oh. also possible. i just said something about most dominant thing. so... eh. anyway, too tired to really parse things well ATM. at least shaq was a no brainer.

11. RX_Sith
12. PRENN

 

Tunick - some LA Lakers player (some season)

 

trimaj, just out of curiosity would you have still drafted shaq if pg hadn't taken kareem?

 

I have my guess on who Tunick will pick, but I'm not positive

 

Yeah, sorry, was talking to tom.

Not that you're very wrong, either. I mean, these are all first round guys, probably.

 

The L.A. Courtsiders select:






Earvin "Magic" Johnson, '86-'87.

there's like two people i'd have taken over shaq without having to think about it, and that's michael and wilt (only because of sim love really). bird would be tempting or lebron thinking about it a bit more. but... shaq was pretty damn near unstoppable that season. one of the highest pers ever other than those two and lebron? not to mention the sheer mass he has that makes him nearly unstoppable in the post? i'd imagine he'd give even kareem a run for his money in a head to head. sure, maybe kareem can shoot better, but he isn't getting through shaq terribly easily at all.

 

Yeah, yeah, that irony is know, is obvious.

 

yeah, i think you can make an argument for either guy. i was just curious.

 

I think Bird is the weakest move right now, but I guess he was a bit overshadowed on my team last time.

 

understandable. who'd you take between them?

 

I'd agree. Bird is the worst pick so far. And when Larry Bird is the worst pick, people are doing something right

 

kareem was going to be my pick if he was still there.

 

I was hoping Kareem would end up with me, too, but I'm rather pleased that I was able to pick Magic to lead my squad.

 

i almost went with magic... but decided i like shaq better. and i can't say i blame you tom, at all.

 

I was planning on taking Durant actually before I volunteered to do this.
