45th annual DBR Mock Draft - 2016 -- PICK TEAMS HERE!!

[JasonEvans]

Your friendly DBR Mock Draft Commish here. SIGNUP TIME IS UPON US!!

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, one of the commissioners 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.

For the next 4 days the first poster to claim a team will get that team. If we have not filled up the roster of GMs by Monday 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!! I expect we will begin on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, if not sooner. The NBA Draft is scheduled for Thursday June 23rd. We WILL GET OUR MOCK DONE before the NBA draft has begun! 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:

-Jason "Hurry up! The best teams will be taken quickly!" Evans

[JasonEvans]

I got the Hawks.

Whoever takes Boston better be on line CONSTANTLY because they pick every third pick or something like that.

[pfrduke]

I'm continuing my mock GM-ship of the Sixers.

[gurufrisbee]

Phoenix please

[ChillinDuke]

I'll mock the Knicks.

- Chillin

[SilkyJ]

I got the Dubs!

-Silky

[Edouble]

I will take the mighty Lakers.

[NashvilleDevil]

Ill take the Celtics

[johnb]

I'll take Sacramento.

The Knicks were already taken, and the Nets draft is liable to be fairly weak.

[ChillinDuke]

I'll take Sacramento.

The Knicks were already taken, and the Nets draft is liable to be fairly weak.

The Knicks are available, I'm just mocking them.

Although, you're in the same boat either way.

- Chillin

[CDu]

Bulls please!

[kAzE]

Bucks please

[brevity]

The real New Orleans Pelicans will probably trade their lottery pick, because that's what they do, so I'm already ahead by mock-drafting for them.

[DukeTrinity11]

I"ll mock the Pistons!! :)

[mattman91]

Toronto, eh.

[Reddevil]

The Denver Nuggets if you please.

[duke4ever19]

I'm continuing my mock GM-ship of the Sixers.

Please don't trade Okafor, good Sir.

Edit: Nevermind, that's not in the rules. I wonder if I can convince the Colangalo boys of the same rule :)

[flyingdutchdevil]

Minnesota please

[NSDukeFan]

Orlando please. (The city not Woolridge)

[Furniture]

I'll test the waters.
Milwaukee...eeeck!

[FerryFor50]

Jazz

[CDu]

I'll test the waters.
Milwaukee...eeeck!

Milwaukee already off the board.

[luburch]

I'll take the Pacers!

[JNort]

I'll take em

[kAzE]

Whoever takes Boston better be on line CONSTANTLY because they pick every third pick or something like that.

Jeez . . . 7 picks, 5 in the 2nd round. Who wants to do 5 write ups on 2nd round prospects? Good luck NashvilleDevil!

[jacone21]

I'll take Memphis. Looking forward to a steal at 57.

[NashvilleDevil]

Jeez . . . 7 picks, 5 in the 2nd round. Who wants to do 5 write ups on 2nd round prospects? Good luck NashvilleDevil!

I'll be at the beach next week, I'll have plenty of time.

[theschwartz]

Since my Lakers are already taken, I'll take the Clippers, just as I've jumped on their bandwagon the last couple seasons.

[Skitzle]

I'll mock the Knicks.

- Chillin

I was going to take the kicks!!! :)

Nicely done! As a reward for volunteering, I will waive the trade restriction and allow you to deal the Cavs picks to another GM if you want ;)

All the first round teams are taken. We only have Houston (2 2nd round picks), Dallas, and Brooklyn left. So, seeing as we are pretty far along...

WE ARE GOING TO START THE DRAFT RIGHT NOW!!

Obviously, I will not be too strict about enforcing the clock over the weekend because everyone thought we were not going to start until Monday or Tuesday, but if you are on the clock and able to make your pick, go for it! There will be a separate thread for picks.

Meanwhile, we still need 3 GMs to handle Houston, Dallas, and Brooklyn. Post in this thread if you want one of those teams.

-Jason "thanks to everyone for jumping on this so quickly!" Evans

Houston.

Thanks as always for conducting the mock draft, Jason & Mods.

[tfk53]

Oh well, late to the party again... missed this yesterday.

Will take Dallas and their single second round pick. It will keep the workload for me at a minimum!

[awhom111]

I will take the Nets.

I also will keep score and compare our draft to the real thing as I have done for the past few years.

SilkyJ managed to come in and steal our Warriors before I could, but I guess I got them last year, so I am happy to let someone else take a shot.
