Mock Expansion Draft Game

[Stressboy]

Does anyone want to play? The rules are that you try to pick which players will get drafted during the expansion draft. You get 1 point for each correct pick and -1/2 a point for each unused pick. By this I mean if you say they will pick 29 guys and they only pick 15, then you get a -7 for overguessing so much. I am open to suggestions on scoring adjustments, but I think that is pretty simple.

Below is the list of unprotected players minus the lakers and the pistons:

ATLANTA: Alan Henderson, F-C, 6-9, 31.


BOSTON: Chucky Atkins, G, 5-11, 29. Ernest Brown*, C, 7-0, 25; Brandon Hunter, F, 6-7, 23; Jumaine Jones, F, 6-8, 25; Michael Stewart, F, 6-10, 29.

CLEVELAND: Ruben Boumtje Boumtje*, C, 7-0, 26; Jason Kapono, F, 6-8, 23; Ira Newble, F, 6-7, 29; Kevin Ollie, G, 6-2, 31.


DALLAS: Tariq Abdul-Wahad, F-G, 6-6, 29; Tony Delk, G, 6-2, 30; Danny Fortson, C-F, 6-8, 28; Antoine Walker, F, 6-9, 27.

SAN ANTONIO: Matt Carroll, G, 6-6, 23; Malik Rose, F, 6-7, 29; Charlie Ward, G, 6-2, 33.


SEATTLE: Calvin Booth, C, 6-11, 28; Jerome James, C, 7-1, 28; Richie Frahm*, G, 6-5, 26; Vitaly Potapenko C-F, 6-10, 29.


UTAH: Curtis Borchardt, C, 7-0, 23; Aleksandar Pavlovic, F, 6-7, 20.


WASHINGTON: Lonny Baxter*, F, 6-8, 25; Juan Dixon, G, 6-3, 25; Christian Laettner, F-C, 6-11, 34; Jerry Stackhouse, G-F, 6-6, 29.


Stressboy's things to think about:

With Utah and Atlanta sitting with 30 mil in cap space each, it is quite possible that one of them or both will be the dumping ground for 1 year deals such as Jerome James, Jahiadi White, Laettner, Kittles, or evan Walker. It is quite possible that there will be a lot big contracts picked if these teams work in tandem with Charolette. One hint that this might already be happening is the unprotected list by Utah, they only had to unprotect 1 player and Pavlovic is not someone to give up on right away so he might be going to the bobcats to make some high dollar vetrans go to Utah. Players like Lorenzen Wright and Kerry Kittles, could end up in Utah for Pavlovic and one of their 3 picks. All that being said, it is also quite possible that they won't worry about any of that and just pick the best team for themselves.

So let the mocks begin.

I just checked in, remeber the rules only 1 person can be picked off of each team, they can pick a total of 29 but must pick at least 14.

u2sarajevo, you have two guys off of the same team, Stepania and Q. Woods, you might want to edit that.

JayC, I think you have two guys picked off of Memphis.

Dwight Howard

[mavsman55]

Don't they have a #3 draft pick? That should factor into the game somewhere.

[Stressboy]

Mavsman55 that is a great idea.

OK everyone in the event of a tiebreaker, the person getting the bobcats 1st regular draft pick correct will be the winner. This does not mean the #4, but whoever their first pick is no matter of draft order. If this still ends in a tie, then I will flip a coin. Make sure you update your post with your tie breaker pick.

To clarify: If they draft Livingston and trade him to Orlando for Okafur, Livingston is the first pick of the franchise.

Jumaine Jones SF

Ruben B Boumtje C
Jeff Trepagnier SG
J.R. Bremer SG/PG
Lorenzen Wright C - Will be Traded for Pick to Utah or through Atlanta to a third team
Loren Woods C

Tamar Slay SF
Qyntel Woods SF
Juan Dixon SG/PG
Gerald Wallace SG/SF
Antoine Walker PF - Gets moved to Utah with Wright for 2 of their 3 picks
DeShawn StevensonSG
Keyon Dooling PG
Courtney Alexander SG


First pick for Franchise = Gordon if officially they have the #4 Howard if they Officially have the #2. Sorry to hedge the bet, but since I don't know the rules on if the trade becomes final now or at the time of the draft. If at time of draft then Gordon, because someone will move up to 3 to get Livingston. If it is final before the draft then they will get Howard at #2.

Crazy things have allready started. Let's hope that Dirk and Shaq are both Mavericks after all is said and done.

I'm just going to be really disappointed if none of this crazy stuff goes down.
