Normally I'd be all for it, but Colin & I have some great synergy... Our draft has been stellar and I wouldn't want to leave our "ownership group", but then again I speak solely for myself...If it is the decision of the league I (or Colin) can oversee ngc7's team until he is ready to return, but ultimately my loyalty lies within the squad we've drafted.Not to sound cheesy, but this has been a lot of fun and I'm semi-attached to the group we've got.

Woooooooooo! That is all

The Colin & Devon Show starting 5PG - Steph CurrySG - Kevin MartinSF - Nicholas BatumPF - A'Mare StoudemireC - DeAndre Jordan

We need to have some way to do a running draft board and have each person post the round 's selections in their pick...

Anyone let Sultan know he's on the clock? Lets keep these picks rollin!

With regards to DeAndre we feel we are getting a guy who is only 23years old, and in that "true center" mold. We intend to pair him with A'Mare whom we feel both in the games and in practice will only serve to make DeAndre a better player.Nice pick on Jennings, my fellow co-owner and I had him & Gerald Wallace high on our draft board.What is the process on trades?Is it a PM thing, is there a commish role? Just wondering...

This may be a bit early but the run on Young Bigs has forced our hand... Coin & I select DEANDRE JORDAN to be our 5 and will be teaming him up A'Mare, Steph Curry, & Kevin Martin

Can I get a recap list b4 posting the next pick, please?

That's all coming my friend, we've got some ideas...

Thank You sir, we were surprised to find the NBA's 9th leading scorer still on the board and are very happy to have him...6'7", 90% from the FT, 39% from 3, 23.5ppg, we'll take it!

As Co-Owner with Colin we proudly select and welcome KEVIN MARTIN to our squad!

Keep those picks rollin'; I'm dying over here!

Damn... LOVE the Ibaka pick

I promise to be a willing-participant and nothing like the ASG d-bags... I see a lot of talent still left on the board and am excited to be able to take part!

I'm down to co-own if anyone would like a draft partner... Just FYI had I gotten in I would've selected Kevin Love and he went at #22...

I know it's the 2nd round already, but I'd love to sneak in a pick if at all possible... I'm aware that I'd have no true star, but I can build a team with all the talent that is still out there.

Make's ya kinda sick to your stomach there, eh? Dirk wants a Ring, desperately, and he's a German icon so he'll never "need" money ever again, but to take $16m LESS than you could demand in order to win a ring, that's a TRUE PRO. How much money does one person really need? I know that we live in a greed-driven Uber capitalistic society, but damn... I applaud Dirk on this one.

a LOT of overpaid, underproducing, underwhelming players in this list... Rashard lewis is the 2nd highest paid guy in the eague? Didn't Sund sign him to that GOD-AWFUL contract? #'s 2, 5-9, 16-19, 24 & 25 are in some way/shape/form "stealing money"... These bloated salaries make me angry that I'm having to BUST MY A$$ to make 70k/year... Grumble, Grumble, Grumble.... 1. Kobe Bryant - Los Angeles Lakers $24.8 million 2. Rashard Lewis - Orlando Magic / Washington Wizards $20.5 million 3. Kevin Garnett - Boston Celtics $18.8 million 4. Tim Duncan - San Antonio Spurs $18.7 million 5. Michael Redd - Milwaukee Bucks $18.3 million 6. Pau Gasol - Los Angeles Lakers $17.8 million –. Andrei Kirilenko - Utah Jazz $17.8 million 8. Gilbert Arenas - Washington Wizards / Orlando Magic $17.7 million 9. Yao Ming - Houston Rockets $17.6 million 10. Zach Randolph - Memphis Grizzlies $17.4 million 11. Vince Carter - Orlando Magic / Phoenix Suns $17.3 million –. Dirk Nowitzki - Dallas Mavericks $17.3 million 13. Carmelo Anthony - Denver Nuggets / New York Knicks $17.1 million 14. Amare Stoudemire - New York Knicks $16.8 million 15. Dwight Howard - Orlando Magic $16.5 million 16. Joe Johnson - Atlanta Hawks $16.3 million 17. Kenyon Martin - Denver Nuggets $16.0 million –. Elton Brand - Philadelphia 76ers $16.0 million 19. Predrag Stojakovic - New Orleans Hornets / Dallas Mavericks $15.3 million 20. Chris Paul - New Orleans Hornets $14.9 million –. Deron Williams - Utah Jazz $14.9 million 22. LeBron James - Miami Heat $14.5 million –. Chris Bosh - Miami Heat $14.5 million 24. Jason Richardson - Phoenix Suns / Orlando Magic $14.4 million 25. Carlos Boozer - Chicago Bulls $14.0 million

I disagree... As somebody who went to a TON of Padres' games when I was growing up the team actually IMPROVED under Moores' ownership and they got a sparkling new stadium; PETCO is freaking BEAUTIFUL when it comes to new stadium builds and very "fan-friendly"... You've got to understand that San Diego is NOT Los Angeles (even though remotely close in proximity); it's a beautiful area but lacks the pulling power of it's big brother up the 5. I think Moores' has actually done well in an environment that doesn't necessarily foster high attendance #'s (generally older demographic, high # of Immigrant populations, not really a sports town, etc) Where he went wrong is in personnel decisions; one key one in particular. Someone, anyone, tell me why Tony Gwynn isn't managing the Padres'?

Sund is a "yes-man" for a bunch of DIP$HIT "owners"... I said it, yeah, F*CK THE ASG... I'm tired of our city getting the shaft by these A$$CLOWNS and nobody saying $hit about it. I would personally spit in Gearon's & Levenson's face if given the opportunity. Those A$$Holes personify evil and incompetence.

F*Ck the A-S-G, I hope all of them have permanent painful rectal itch...

An increased role for Marvin means a decreased total in the "W" column... He's garbage, plain and simple; at this point he's stealing money.

Everything you said has merit but it is all HYPOTHETICAL and quite frankly I'm tired of constant "5-Year Plans"... "If we get a superstar", "If we realize our potential", etc... When does the "if" game STOP?

The moves haven't been awful... okay: 1. Marvin Williams makes $8+ million dollars a year and will for the next 3 years, why?... 2. Joe Johnson makes $5 million more/season than Dwayne Wade, $6 million more than LeBron and will for the next 5 seasons, why? 3. You watched as they traded away an over-paid broken down Mike Bibby/JC2/Mo Williams/and our 1st rounder for a run-of-the mill average NBA PG in Hinrich and a bench scrub (Hilton "Lane Violation" Armstrong); awful trade. 4. You were witness to last seasons' DEBACLE of a 2nd round; worst in NBA history defeat margin, and the subsequent "Search High & Low then turn around" coaching search; bad decision to hire Mike Woodson's right hand & THEN give him no wiggle room (2-yr. deal/ least $ of any HC). 5. The ASG has RAISED ticket prices EVERY SEASON since they took over "ownership"; Why? 6. Etan Thomas, Jason Collins, the selling of the draft pick acquired in Damion James / JC2 trade, all HORRIBLE personnel moves. 7. Josh Childress being drafted ahead of Luol Deng and then flipping the bird to the ASG in going to Greece; i know he sucks now, but that was a low I thought we wouldn't see again. Thankfully Memphis put in a low-ball offer a few seasons back for Josh Smith otherwise he would've walked, and yeah, we've re-signed Al Horford, but we have a whopping SEVEN players under contract for next year and are WELL OVER the projected salary cap... I don't think I'm overreacting at all, I'm a season ticket holder that is seriously FED THE F*CK UP!

I wrote this to illicit the feelings of all of you to whom I've spoken with in the chatrooms and sat with at games... This group of A$$CLOWN$ are a disgrace to the city of Atlanta, and YES, I do blame David "The Mafia Boss" Stern. David Stern is as corrupt as they come; his lack-of-handling the situation with Belkin & The Idiotic 7 is deplorable... Nothing is going to change if we, the TRUE Hawks/Thrashers/ Atlanta sports' fans don't unite against this treachery we know as the ASG. Speak up, I plan to email all of these idiots collectively as I have a friend that works in corporate for them. I want them to know what we really think!
