Monday - Dec 4th

Well, the first hiccup of the rookie draft appears to be manifesting itself today. Today we were supposed to learn who MBB was taking with the #2 pick. Unfortunately, I have not heard from Bobby today. I have emailed him 3 times reminding him about his pick. No response. I was hoping to keep the momentum rolling with his pick today....oh well. What can we do?

The one thing we need to do is develop a future plan for just such an event.

What if the JBL team fails to make their pick? Do they forfeit the pick? I don't think that's the best option. I think the JBL team that fails to make a pick by midnight should get the highest remaining pick from the NBA draft order. In today's case, if this rule was in place, MBB would get Derrick Williams because he is the highest remaining rookie. We'll need to vote on this for the 2012 rookie draft.

The other big news of the day was Seoul releasing Chuck Hayes and Kevin Garnett. Hayes is a free agent and it's unknown where he might land. He's a great role player but Woo is thinking he'll be available at Auction. And then there's KG. A year older. And $23 bucks. Woo is thinking that's his max salary so he's throwing him back. KG is a great 3rd or 4th forward now but playing a compressed schedule could be hard on the old man. Seoul is hoping to get him for cheaper at Auction. We'll see how that works out as French Lick must be excited to see another Celtic back in the pool.

And where are the drops from Juan de Fuca? Several other JBL owners are wondering how long it will be before they release Kenyon Martin. They do know he's in China right now? I guess they will wait and see if he can get out of his contract before dropping him. Remember, JBL teams can still drop players right up to December 17th (24 hours before the Auction).

So - fingers cross boys. Hopefully on Tuesday, Dec 6th, we'll get Bob's #2 pick and then I can launch into my #3 pick. I'm still torn as to what to do with my pick. I have not settled on my guy just yet as I'm waiting to see what Bob does at #2. Also, another JBL team contacted me about moving up. If I fall in a love with a guy and I think can get him a couple spots lower - I may think about moving down. We'll see...but I need MBB to make their move first. Come on Bobby - make your pick!!
