Raven,
BTW - notice that 3 coaches that went for "potential" and ignored Hayes last year all got fired - Whiz (Cain), Thibault (Dabo) and Trudi (Barrett, Novasel.
If Alexander falls that far, I hope the Dream pick her over Bentley. We don't really need her, but she'd be the best of the rest. |
Oooh, I think I've posted that a few times haven't I? "Potential gets you fired." |
So, we're saying three coaches got fired for not drafting a backup guard who shot 39% from the field and 30% beyond five feet?

I guess not. I didn't realize she was that bad. But looks like you hit on the reason MM got fired.

I thought she played better down the stretch, especially when McCoughtry wasn't with the team. Maybe some other Dream fans can attest to this because it seems she started very slow to begin the season._________________

Actually, she did. I'm not really knocking Hayes. I just think sometimes people on this board give her and Riquana Williams a little too much credit. They exceeded expectations, but it's not like every GM made a major bad decision by not taking them. Some of those GMs didn't need a guard. Others weren't sure if they'd fit the team's system. I think Hayes benefited from ending up on the right team with the right system. Good for her and good for Atlanta, but it doesn't mean everyone else screwed-up.

I'm starting to warm to the fact Skylar in Chicago and EDD in Tulsa could be ok for the league.
Skylar is from South Bend, so she would be a hit in Chitown, and EDD by herself could make the Shock worth watching and putting on TV. Shock could handle the loss of the 6-11 drama queen perfectly by getting EDD.
Bottom line is, I don't think there is a bad outcome. I think the W could very much benefit, either way.

Trade idea
#4 and #17 to Conn
For Kara Lawson and Kalana Greene
or #4 and #17 for Lawson and #11
Donavan can draft a post at #4 and a back up to new starting PG Montgomery at #17
and Thiabault gets some of his old players back and a quality PG to help his transition in Washington. good idea/bad idea? If lopsided which way?

Opinion poll.
Just curious what the board thinks.
You are the GM of your team (and when I say your team I don't mean the team you root for, but the imaginary team that you are the GM of, I want the poll to be as objective as possible), please rank these players in the order you would pick them. 1. being the player you would pick if all were available, 2 being the player you would pick if all but the player you picked at 1 were available and so on down the line.
Bentley, Clarendon, Faris, Mathies, Rodgers.
Thanks in advance for your participation.

Enjoyable read. His second round picks are very creative. I disagree with many but still fun to see. Greene is more than 'green' - I think overseas for a couple of years may make her usable but who knows. And don't think Big Bill will take another small PG. I think he could take K. Williams there if he wants a PG. Very interesting that Corwin has Moore dropping that far. While I'm not nearly so hot on her as many on here, I don't think she goes that far down.
Can't wait for it all to happen, then we can chew and re-chew...
