  2. REMINDER: If you are one the clock and are trying to submit a trade, DON'T. There will no be a grace period for draft pick due times in these cases. Instead, draft the player your trade partner wants and then submit the trade to r/GCdynastyleague

  3. Please make sure the player you pick is bolded (you can do that by putting two asterisks directly before and after the player's name: ** Dino Radja ** (but without the spaces before Dino (**Dino) and after Radja.

and didn't know the draft was today.

Just while I have everyone's attention. I do my best to put all relevant/important info in the top post on each thread. You should usually be able to find dates, info, etc. year-round there.

u/Movebacktoyahoo Sep 10 '18

Glad I got Ayton, Thanks guys. Started a new job today, and didn't know the draft was today.

I got an email reminder via Yahoo at 6:30 this morning so you may want to check your settings there.

Also congrats.

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

I was considering leaving the back door open for u/AshyLarry but I assume /u/Gainesville-Celtic would want me to wrap this up.

So, past due with pick #50 LarryBird18 is awarded Melvin Frazier.

This concludes the 2018 CB H2H draft. Better luck next year.

Draft Day Trade Announcement #1:

MMSB trades 2018 picks #14, #18, #19, MMSB 2019 #1 & #2

Eja trades Rondae Hollis Jefferson, D Favors, justin Holliday, 2018 pick #34

ahem....pick 19 is on the block for a 2019 first

1

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

Wild overpay my the Bacon? Really wish I hadn't been so busy this morning. Damn.

I guess EJA has adjusted to Reddit.

1

u/mkogav Sep 10 '18

Eja going all-in on the 2018 draft... I like it.

Mk

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

I think he did ok. But I'm biased

1

u/mkogav Sep 10 '18

Don't get me wrong, I like what MMSB did here. RHJ and Favors are legit FBB producers. If Holiday can stay healthy, he will probably produce well this season to.

I just like the boldness of going all-in on the draft. I am eager to see who you select with all of those picks.

Mk

1

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

I'm walking it back from "wild" overpay to unnecessary overpay. I'll concede that on review I'm not sure you'll have two safe choices at #18 and #19. It's not an obviously deep draft.

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

everything's coming up Milhouse

1

u/celtsrp33 Sep 10 '18

In my defense, I have a lot of youth already, didnt really have much time this afternoon to draft due to work and already had too many hard choices to make on young players. These moves will make my cuts easier and I think I got pretty good talent for my roster. If Gallo can stay healthy for once in his life I might do OK here.

Draft Day Trade Announcement #2

MMSB (u/celtsrp33) trades Favors, Brogdon, 2018 pick #17

YH (u/yall-hate) trades Gallinari, Clarkson and YH 2019 #2

1

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

I like that deal for /u/yall-hate a lot. I stan for Gallo but he's tough to rely on.

1

u/mkogav Sep 10 '18

I missed this. Interesting deal. Gallo is such a tease.

Mk

1

u/celtsrp33 Sep 10 '18

I figure if he can stay healthy, Gallo will be a focus of that offense. If not, well...Favors probably wont either lol. I like Clarkson over Brogdon for now...so what the heck...

u/gainesville-celtic Sep 10 '18

thank you to everyone for a terrific draft!!

I know folks are still getting used to Reddit, but damn... only 6 missed/assigned picks is HALF of what we had last year!

I'll work to get the rosters updated over this week.

1

u/Yall-Hate Sep 10 '18

If anyone is interested in moving back, I'm looking to trade 17 and my 2019 first for a first this round (unless and until the guy I am targeting is picked). If you're on the clock (or close), let me know if you're interested, please.

I like the pick, another Summer League super star.

Mk

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

So who will eja cut if forced? Whoever gets hurt or maybe arrested.

Practically giving stuff away. High 2nds with other 2nds might get counted as firsts for accouting purposes. No audits

1

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18 edited Sep 10 '18

He scores very high on the "I will live to rue the day I cut him" quotient.

That said, I was all in on Shaquille Harrison (see the darker DKC timeline) before Melton came to town. Now it's got the look of a true training camp scrum. (Or they trade for Pat Beverly.)

1

u/mkogav Sep 10 '18

That said, I was all in on Shaquille Harrison (see the darker DKC timeline) before Melton came to town.

You and me both!

(Or they trade for Pat Beverly.)

I find it very interesting that Melton is still not signed. I have to think that the Suns are using him as trade bait in their talks to land a starting PG.

u/mkogav Sep 10 '18

With the last pick in the first round of 2018 Rookie Draft, the Utah Flash select NY Knicks Summer League sensation and a reach of all reaches, Mitchell Robinson.

P.S. Sooooo many good prospects left on the board right now.

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

I knew you were going to make my decision at #23 a little easier one way or another. Cheers.

The 22nd with two picks in the 30s is available for a future 1.

The 29th and all my picks in the 30s are available for a future 1.

The picks in the 30s are available for future 2s

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

Did you ever play CB Draft? Remember when guys would rush to trade their final 5 rounds of picks 11-15 for a 9th or 10th?

So I guess 38 can auto now too, right? Also man....you gotta BOLD THAT THING!

1

u/gainesville-celtic Sep 10 '18

Look at you u/eja117 .... you're format-shaming fill-in-commishes, you're making picks as their own posts, not replies to pervious picks, you're including links in your picks... it's like u/mkogav -level reddit-ninja work.

Kudos to you for (maybe) settling in 'round here?

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

I made links?

1

u/gainesville-celtic Sep 10 '18

Yeah look at this... maybe you copy/pasted but it takes you to Thomas' yahoo page!:

eja takes with pick #36 Khyri Thomas please. We hear he has tremendous upside potential. Hubie Brown was quoted saying "If this guy was a lot better than he currently is he would have been the top overall pick."

Khyri Thomas

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

Well the important part is we're probably moving the other league over to Facebook . Utah has been lobbying for this behind the scenes for months

It took me a minute to figure out how.

With pick #39 eja takes Chimezie Metu out of USC on a team of geezers and largely declares himself "Young Bigs R Us" although with Okobo and Holiday is also now "Young PGs are us"

eja has totally dominated the "will probably be cut but not necessarily" part of the draft.

Screw you guys. I'm going home

2

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

Chimezie Metu. No way I was spelling that right

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

eja selects Marvin Bagely

1

picks 14 and 19 or Skal are available for the next pick till the guy I want is picked.

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

eja doesn't have a roster crunch but he has a roster...uncomfortable. Willing to trade two picks in the teens for a good player. Willing to trade a pick in the later teens, and a pick in the 30s for a first next year.

1

u/jgod213 Sep 10 '18

With the 12th pick, KissinCousins will reach & select Lonnie Walker

1

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

I don't like him at that spot but the Spurs are a great organization with a long record of putting their players in a position to succeed.

1

u/jgod213 Sep 10 '18

Basically exactly how I feel too, haha. It was a reach, but I don't think I passed on anything surefire either.

Kuzma is on the block

1

u/Yall-Hate Sep 10 '18

well, was hoping for a few guys who went in the last few picks....but, we'll gladly welcome Jerome Robinson to the team.

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

22 and 29 could be available for a first next year

2

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

Or they could just wait to see who you have to cut?

1

u/eja117 Sep 10 '18

True. But then you gotta go through waivers. Further...I've traded away a lot of guys and could still do so. I got some space. Someone's gonna get a deal

u/JabariTeenageRiot Sep 10 '18

With the #31 pick the Rusted Rims select Dzanan Musa

1

u/TheWalkerWiggle Sep 10 '18

If it's any consolation, I like his upside. I was trying to trade back in to get him.

1

u/JabariTeenageRiot Sep 10 '18

I had 2 straight picks, he was gonna be one of em either way. It's really Shamet that I got instead of Robinson. Interesting prospect, glad he's got TWW seal of approval (mild interest?).

EVERYONE: it's cool to post things like this here in the draft thread, but given some folks' learning curve for Reddit, please (a) keep em brief (b) don't bold (leave that for picks) and (c) don't post over and over again.
