Well, at the time I said "tommorrow", I meant today.

I just wanted to say, there is one currently active player that I'm quite surprised hasn't been taken yet.

I'd say go ahead. Had he sent someone his pick, I'm sure it would have gotten posted by now.

[i]Bad Case of Loving You[/i] plays, and the Love Doctors make their way to the ring, to a nice pop. COLE Tag team titles on the line next! Let's go to Michael Buffer! BUFFER [i]The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the OAOAST World tag team championship! Making their way to the ring, the challengers, at a total combined weight of 436 pounds...Dr. Max Anderson and Dr. Steven Pigley...THE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVE DOCTORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!![/i] COLE Big opportunity for the Love Doctors, not often you'll see these guys in a position to win the tag team titles, but here they are! The Docs climb into the ring, and remove their coats, as [i]Shine[/i] by Collective Soul plays, and Team Heyross makes their way out, getting a big pop. COLE Let's go back to the ring! BUFFER [i]Their opponents...at a total combined weight of 485 pounds...they are the OAOAST World tag team champions...Charlie Moss and Quentin Benjamin...TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYRRRRRRRROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!![/i] COLE Should be a very exciting matchup here, very similar styles, as both teams can wrestle on the mat and take to the air! Team Heyross poses with their belts, then hand them to the referee, who raises them up and calls for the bell. *DING DING DING* Benjamin starts off with Pigley, and the two tie up. Benjamin backs Pigley into the ropes, then the two roll on the ropes into a corner, where Benjamin ends up on top, then breaks clean at the behest of the referee. Pigley moves in again, and the two tie up again, with Pigley grabbng a side headlock. Benjamin backs Pigley into the ropes, and shoves him across. Benjamin drops down, then leapfrogs Pigley, but puts his head down, and Pigley delivers a kick! COLE Mistake there by Quentin Benjamin, putting his head down! Pigley attempts a scoop slam, but Benjamin slips behind, and attempts a reverse sunset, which Pigley blocks by hooking the ropes. Pigley then charges Benjamin, who leapfrogs him, then drops down, then leapfrogs again, before catching Pigley with a high dropkick! COLE Nice dropkick, as the action fast and furious so far in this one! Benjamin covers... 1... 2... Kickout! Benjamin wrings the arm of Pigley, but Pigley reverses. Benjamin reverses back, and tags in Moss. Team Heyross whips Pigley into the ropes, and catch him with a double hiptoss! They then catch Anderson with the same move! The Docs roll out and regroup briefly, then Anderson tags in to face Moss. COACH Now it's Moss against Dr. Max Anderson! Moss and Anderson circle the ring, then move in to tie up, but Anderson delivers a foot to the gut, then hammers on the back of Moss. He picks up Moss and whips him across, but Moss comes back with a sunset flip attempt! COLE Moss going for a pinfall here! Anderson attempts to punch Moss, but Moss moves, and Anderson's hand strikes the mat! Moss then comes from behind, and executes a German suplex! 1... 2... Kickout! Moss picks up Anderson, and executes a side headlock. Anderson backs him into the ropes, where he blind tags Pigley. He shoves Moss across, then drops down, and Moss comes back right into a spinning wheel kick from Pigley! COACH Whoa, nice move there from the Docs! COLE A big move, as the challengers look to have taken control here! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Pigley hammers away on Moss, then whips him into the ropes, and catches him with a flying back elbow! Cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Anderson tags back in, and delivers some rights before whipping Moss across, and catching him with an ANDERSON SPINEBUSTER~! COLE Could that be the move? 1... 2... Kickout! Pigley tags back in, and sets up a suplex...but Moss reverses to a small package! 1... 2... Kickout! COLE And Pigley almost got caught right there! Pigley recovers and delivers right hands, then executes a Northern Lights suplex! 1... 2... Kickout! Anderson tags back in, and climbs to the top rope. COLE And Dr. Max Anderson perhaps looking to perform a little shock therapy! Anderson gets his balance, and comes off for the SHOCK THERAPY~!!!!!11111...but Moss rolls out of the way! COLE But nobody home! COACH Moss should make a tag right here! Moss slowly crawls over to his corner, and makes the tag! COLE And there's the tag! Tags were made on both sides, as Benjamin gets the better of a slugfest with Pigley, then whips him across, and catches him with a spinning wheel kick! Cover... 1... 2... Anderson tries to save with an elbow, but Benjamin moves, and Pigley takes the move! COLE He elbowed his own partner! Team Heyross catches Anderson with a double superkick, then wait on the dazed Pigley, and floor him with the DOUBLE GOOZLE~!!! COLE And Team Heyross is setting it up! Moss picks up Pigley, and sets him on his shoulders as Benjamin climbs to the top, for the SUPER ROCKER DROPPER~!!!!!11111 COLE Put it in the books! 1... 2... 3!!! *DING DING DING* BUFFER [i]The winners of the match...and STILL OAOAST World tag team champions...TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMM HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYRRRRRRRROSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!![/i] COLE Very impressive win for Team Heyross, as they prepare to defend against Thunderkid and Reject at School's Out!

Thanks, I'll have the match sometime tommorrow.

Requesting a team for a Team Heyross title defense.

All-rookie teams. Interestingly enough, despite Durant winning the ROTY, Horford was the only unanimous choice. 1st team Al Horford, Atlanta Kevin Durant, Seattle Luis Scola, Houston Al Thornton, LA Clippers Jeff Green, Seattle 2nd team Jamario Moon, Toronto Juan Carlos Navarro, Memphis Thaddeus Young, Philadelphia Rodney Stuckey, Detroit Carl Landry, Houston

Yeah, I didn't consider the quaifying offer thing. But I think that was just with Pietrus, I'm pretty sure Barnes was unrestricted. I understand what you're trying to say about the front office, but Barnes and Pietrus have been pretty minimal contributers to that team, and I wouldn't put much stock into what those two feel entitled to, when you're comparing them to what Baron Davis has done for the Warriors.

Matt Barnes made $3 million this year, and Pietrus made $3,474,770. Those are hardly "lowball" offers for those two guys.

That is obviously fake. Come on you guys.

Dikembe Mutombo, C Career averages of 9.9 points, 10.4 rebounds (12,326, 17th all-time), 2.8 blocks (7th all-time, 3,278 total blocks, 2nd all-time), .518 FG% 2-time rebounding champion (2000-01) 3-time blocked shots leader (1994-96) 4-time Defensive Player of the Year All-NBA 2nd team (2001) All-NBA 3rd team (1998, 2002) 6-time All Defense (3x 1st team) 8-time All-Star

I was considering Sabonis in the later rounds, as well. I have a good idea of the type of team I'm building, and I thought he would be a great fit. Oh well.

Well, there goes my sleeper pick. Nice one. Steve Nash, PG 15th all-time in assists with 6,787 (should be top 10 next year), 3-time league leader in assists ('05-'07), Career averages of 14.2 points, 7.9 assists per game (11th all-time) .897 career FT%, 3rd all-time .431 career 3PT%, 5th all-time 2-time NBA Most Valuable Player 6-time All-NBA (3x first team) 6-time All-Star

I'm here now so if naiwf's pick comes in we can get this thing moving.

Pat Riley, obv.

My loader spring is broken on my NES, too. I took the top off of the system and put a 5-pound free weight on top to hold the game in place.

Mullin may have still been on the board at 56. I would have gone with Havlicek and Cousy there.

This is the first time since 1993 that all four home teams started 2-0 in the second round.

20% does seem like a lot for a tip. I've never eaten anywhere that nice, of course, but in my experience tips have always been between 10-15 percent. I suppose there's a chance that this is a dramatization. I just saw it on HoopsHype and thought it was funny, so I posted it.

LeBron James: bad tipper.

Billy Knight has resigned from the Hawks. Long live Mike Woodson!
