Durant is only 27 years old and barring injury he is prepared to dominate for the next three years IMO. This would be similar to the Jordan led Bulls getting a 27 year old Karl Malone. Not because Karl and Durant's games are similar, but because of the way they both could flat out take over a game.

Guest Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 With the 8th pick of the 2016 Hawksquawk Dynasty Draft, the JayBird Lady Squawkers select: Paul George: SF, 6’-9”, 2201lbs, 26 years After suffering a gruesome lower right leg injury during Team USA’s exhibition game back in 2014 which force him to miss much of the 2014-2015 NBA season. Looking back he said “Why can't I stand right now?' I looked down to look at my legs, and I saw my bone. And the second I saw my bone, I just ... I lost it." Paul George was back with a vengeance for the 2015-2016 season: He was top 5 amongst Small Forwards in the following categories – scoring, rebounds, freethrows, assists, steals and double doubles. You would think after his Team USA experience back in 2014 that he would be dettered from giving it another go – nope – he is back at it again representing the USA in the 2016 Rio Olympics. He’s one tough SOB. Good Luck Paul. @TheFuzz is officially on the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took the top half of the draft almost 25 hours to go through 8 picks. Lets see if the bottom half can get it done in 1/2 that time. Goal, be into the 2nd round by 9:30 PM ET! Goal corrected, 9th pick not on the clock until 7:56 AM ET Go Hawks! Edited July 22, 2016 by Buzzard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe, just maybe Alex is having 2nd thoughts on passing on Durant and this is some sort of passive aggressive venting mode he is in ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators AHF Posted July 22, 2016 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 So the 2016 draft order was pulled and the U-Niques were sitting at #7 based on the draws from lw3 and big D. That left Ashley and I in a dilemma as we looked at our draft board - 6 guys worthy of discussion at the top of the draft and we were sitting at #7. Then the dilemma was resolved -- Russell Westbrook was taken before Kevin Durant. I know. Seriously. It actually happened. A bit of good fortune for us to kick things off. So with the #7 pick we were somehow able to nab: Kevin Durant 27 years old. Former MVP. 7-time All-Star, 6 consecutive All-NBA seasons (5 first team, 1 second). For the last 3 seasons combined, Kevin Durant is #1 in PER: Durant 28.9 Curry 27.8 James 27.7 He is #1 in points per game: Durant 29.5 PLAYER 27.3 Curry 25.9 James 25.9 He is #2 in TS% among players averaging 20 points per game: Curry .640 Durant .634% James .605% With wing the shallowest position in the league, we somehow ended up with the best scoring wing who is strong (though not elite) with his length defensively and who outrebounds James and George by a board per game. There isn't a team in the league where Durant doesn't fit in seamlessly with his unlimited range and ultra efficient scoring. So Kevin. This is your lucky break as you will get to lead a contender this season instead of coat riding. Are you ready? Hell yeah, you are. Welcome to the U-Niques. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators lethalweapon3 Posted July 22, 2016 Moderators Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 @LucastheThird, get ready to get ready! If @TheFuzz doesn't pick by 3:53 PM Eastern, the floor will be all yours. I got a Dream game to go to tonight, so hopefully these two SquawkGMs will make their selections before I waltz on over to The Flats. ~lw3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Sorry y'all, I flew to NY this weekend and am visiting the GF, so didn't have time last night if you know what I'm saying. I'll pick shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFuzz Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 After much deliberating, the Decatur Fuzz have selected... You betcha. We in Decatur prefer to think of his attitude problems as attitude assets (the other player I considered has his share of issues anyway). Boogie don't back down to no one. Good luck small balling him. We think with a better organization around him, he'll cut down on his turnovers and his usage to become more efficient and be an even better best center in the league. Towns ain't got nothing @ LucastheThird, you're up! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
