We've done it before... time to do it again.

Here are the rules:

Post in this thread with the name of the team you want to "GM." No trading of picks or players is allowed, your job is just to draft, not reshape your entire roster. Once the mock draft starts, you will be expected to make your pick in a timely fashion. That means you have 6 hours to make a pick between the hours of 8am and 8pm ET (5am and 5pm PT). The clock will stop outside of those hours. On weekends, the clock time is doubled to 12 hours. You are obviously encouraged to pick faster than that, but if you fail to make your pick in your clock window, I will make it for you... and you don't want that!

DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE AND LAZY WITH YOUR PICKS!! Am I clear about that? If you keep us waiting and cause this process to lock up, the community will heap as much negative rep upon you as we can.

We are a little late getting to this this year so I really hope we have all the teams selected in just a couple days. I want to start the draft on Monday, perhaps sooner. We are only 2 weeks from the NBA doing the real thing and we need to get ours done first!!

For the next 3 days the first poster to claim a team will get that team. If we have not filled up the roster of GMs by Friday at midnight, I will open it up to allow folks to claim a 2nd or even 3rd team to GM... but I hope we will not have to do that. For now, sign up for one team. It should be a team you know fairly well so you can comment on the pick and why you made it as well as explain how it fits into your team's roster and future plans. We will pick both the first and second rounds of the draft (I hope).

OUR MOCK DRAFT WILL START AS SOON AS WE HAVE ALL THE GM SPOTS FILLED!! It is my hope we will begin on Monday, June 16th. That will give us 10 days to complete our mock before the NBA holds their actual draft. So long as we don't have a lot of lazy folks slow to get in picks, we should make it without too much trouble.

Here is the draft order. I will update this list as people pick teams so you can always look and see which teams are available to claim:

First Round:
1. Cleveland Cavaliers

As always, I will get the ball rolling by taking the GM job for my hometown Atlanta Hawks, owners of the 15th and 43rd picks.

Thanks for setting this up again, Jason. I was looking forward to it, not least because I need to atone for my egregious error in picking (albeit not #1 overall) Anthony Bennett last year. I think I picked him around 6 or 7 last year. Still, not good.

This year, I'm gonna GM the Utah Jazz.

Li_Duke
06-11-2014, 01:52 PM
I'll take the phoenix suns.

(We may need 2 GMs for Philadelphia).

pfrduke

Philly!

Duvall
06-11-2014, 01:59 PM
I'll take Orlando.

Da Bulls for me, please!

JasonEvans
06-11-2014, 02:04 PM
Philly!

I'm glad someone who is always on line took this team. The Sixers seemingly have every third pick in the draft!!

Henderson
06-11-2014, 02:06 PM
Since the Trailblazers have no picks (and LaRue Martin isn't on the board anyway), I'll take the Celtics at #6 and #17.

roywhite
06-11-2014, 02:09 PM
I'll take the Memphis Grizzlies

theschwartz
06-11-2014, 02:16 PM
I'll go with my hometown Lakers por favor. Time to turn this team around!

BlueDevilBrowns
06-11-2014, 02:30 PM
I'll take the Cavaliers, please!

Turk
06-11-2014, 02:35 PM
Ah nuts, pfrduke beat me to the Sixers.

Will go with the other team that was bleeding for Embiid, sorry for Jabari, and riggin' for Wiggins.

I'll take the Bucks if still available.

FerryFor50
06-11-2014, 02:40 PM
I'll take Minnesota

Ichabod Drain

I'll take the Sac Kings with their one lottery pick.

...I need to atone for my egregious error in picking (albeit not #1 overall) Anthony Bennett last year. I think I picked him around 6 or 7 last year. Still, not good.

At the opposite end of things, I won last year's DBR Mock Draft by picking the eventual Rookie of the Year, Michael Carter-Williams, but for the New Orleans Pelicans. There's no draft pick for Unibrow Nation this year, but I'll stay in division as the mock GM for the San Antonio Spurs. They select #30, 58, and 60.

Spoiler alert: I'm totally drafting Johnny Manziel at #60. Can he play basketball? Don't care. Bringin' him back to Texas. Pop'll coach him up.

well damn it. May I have the Clippers?

I will take the Detroit Pistons if you still need GM for their second round pick

roywhite
06-11-2014, 08:29 PM

Do I detect a certain lack of enthusiasm for the Sterlings....errr, Clippers there, Newt? Good of you to take this for the team.

Commissioner Evans, the 1st round looks full; shall we get going soon?

NCDBlueDevilsTC78
06-11-2014, 08:34 PM
Or I can take the Dallas Mavericks for both second round picks. I will trade either the Pistons or Mavericks for the Clippers if no one wants the Clippers.

awhom111
06-11-2014, 08:43 PM
I will take the Pacers then.

We may go so fast that international players withdraw from the draft after we pick them.

Well I am mad (but will get over it, sigh) that MattMan swooped in and ended my 2 year run as the Charlotte GM :), but forgave him and moved on. I'm no fan of either Sterling, but somebody had to take them and JJ needs a good GM. :p

I'm good. I will keep the Clips.

Lots of changes have obviously been made this off season in Charlotte, if you haven't noticed. Apparently the franchise needed a new mock GM for the 2014 DBR Mock Draft:)

So Mavs and Wizards are all that's left?

kAzE
06-12-2014, 04:24 AM
SIGN ME UP FOR THE WARRIORS! Oh wait . . .

I guess I'll take the Mavs. Yo BluDevilBrowns, how about Dirk for the #1 pick? How can you pass that up?

nocilla
06-12-2014, 08:31 AM
I'll take the Knicks, Nets, Warriors, Trailblazers, Pelicans, and Wizards. I know that is a lot of teams to handle but I am up to it.

I'm intrigued, but then I don't have a need for an elite big wing forward, seeing as I have the legendary Anthony Bennett already.
