Guilty. I'm the a-hole who voted for Evans in the first round. Just wanted to see if anyone was paying attention, and I knew it wouldn't make any difference since Roger was running away with it.
I wasn't really serious about Sap, either, but as long as I'm being challenged to justify, I'll give it a shot. IMO, Utah will not be able to re-sign him. He'll get a significant offer somewhere else where the grass may appear greener, and I believe he'll go. I'm not at all fond of the idea of keeping both Al and Millsap just to let them expire. One of them needs to be traded, and although I'd prefer that to be Al, Millsap obviously has higher trade value. So, between trade value and the fact that I don't believe he'll be back anyway, I don't think it's that far out there to pick Sap.
Of course, if this is purely just a popularity contest, I'd have to change my vote. Either way, I declare Favors to be the winner, so it doesn't really matter too much.

So by your logic millsap has lower value than al because he has higher value?
There's still a lot of time but I think Watson will end up with most votes.
I'd be really disappointed if Murphy gets voted off before Watson. Murphy is an unknown quantity. Don't you have any sense of curiosity? He may turn out okay. Watson however is pretty bad, has a lot less chemistry with the second unit than Tinsley, and he mouths off to the media as if he's entitled to 20 mpg. I encourage everyone to vote his *** out.
The guy who shoots like an 8 year old.
Don't fret! It's all hypothetical. We'll get to see what Murphy is capable of while playing against D-League players.

Wait, there's rules? I should probably read those next time.

Unlike real elections, my vote may actually make a difference. I choose Watson, which now puts him ahead by 2 votes.

The beauty is that your vote actually makes a difference in the outcome, but the flip side is that the outcome doesn't matter in the least.

sorry, i can't vote for earl. the guy is what he is, but he's not the second most expendible player on this team... certainly not with the PG situation how it is now. same reason i can't vote for JT even though he's a shadow of his former self and can't run or jump anymore. both guys will get voted off soon enough, but for me both of them have some value even neither are part of our top 10.
to me, this came down to carroll, evans or murphy. i'm too intrigued by murphy to throw him away before he's played a game... evans only does 1-2 things well, but ultimately i went with the guy who is borderline NBA talent. works hard and occasionally hits a shot, but i think carroll is the most expendible on this team... especially since gordon, marvin, paul and even burks will spend time at the 3 this season.

Wait, doesn't Shawn Marion play for the Mavs?
I went with Earl Watson too. Somehow I feel a bit sad when he plays. I like his personality though.

He does not excel at creating for others. He can throw some nice alley oops. He excels at refusing to shoot the ball or take a layup in favor of passing the ball all the time, to a fault.
Shawn Marion shoots like a 12 year old. Earl Watson flings his whole body into the shot with ugly form, like he is barely strong enough to get the ball to the rim.
