Fantasy NBA Competition : Take Two

[Bobby DIGital]

So yeah I just made it

Team name: Digs_Regime
yahoo: mothughekey

 

[thewizard1o1]

We have 14 teams El C, let get this rolling and do the draft so that we will have some time to trade and that before the season starts.

 

[Jonotallica]

Yep, and so the trash talkin can begin. It's hard to trash talk without a roster.

 

[thewizard1o1]

My 5 empty bench spot absolutely owns yours :twisted:

 

[Jonotallica]

oooooo lots of talk coming from the big tough invisible bench people.

 

[El Coconuto]

Okay, the draft order has been set and taken to ready.

Thank you to those who took the time to sign up and to identify their team names. Unfortunately for those who didn't identify your team you have dropped a couple of places from the draft order (sorry, I couldn't work it any other way to be honest). This will be a close competition.

Good luck guys and gals.

For your convenience, here is a copy of your draft numbers for the upcoming draft (note: I can only set the draft to ready, the rest Yahoo does so don't come to me asking when it happens as this depends on Yahoo's automation process)

Cheers

Good looking squad, though I fear Mutombo and Dale Davis are not good stats players. At least, they don't score much.

I had 7th pick and I refused Dirk Nowitski in favour of unproven rookie Dwight Howard. :lol: I'm only new at this. At the time I did the list I thought I'd be 10th pick or so, I thought Dirk would be taken and Howard would be a steal.

Not a bad team though, I'm quite happy because I'm confident most of the players I picked will have good seasons, even if they aren't ranked that high at this stage. (My highest pick is ranked 17)

Steve, I have a trade proposal for you. I have glut of guards and you seem to lack depth at the PG position, especially on your bench.

Would you want to trade Dikembe for Derek Fisher straight up? Fisher is ranked 170, and Mutombo is ranked 191 not to mention his risk of injury due to old age. I benefit because I have a lack of big men, and you add some depth to your PG position. I didn't get a true C until the FOURTEENTH round. :x

 

[Jonotallica]

well, well, well at least i didn't get Jefferson again....Following players i will be looking to trade...Darius Miles, Chucky Atkins, Dirk Nowitzki, Shaun Bradley, Eric Piatkowski, Brian Scalabrine.

I'm not interested in any of those players, but I'm interested in Juwan Howard or Pau Gasol or Lamar Odum, have a look at my roster and see if there is anyone that interests you.

One idea could be Odum (rank 16) for Cassell (17), meaning you could drop Atkins to the bench and give Damon Jones the flick, move Howard into Gasols slot, and move Haslem into Howards. Strengthening your PG depth and assists.

 

[CanadianSteve]

Jonotollica, that trade sounds good to me. But what is the result of losing a player of one position and gaining one of a different position? Does position affect the scoring system at all, or does it just go by stats?

You can probably see by my lack of knowledge about this fantasy game stuff, that I'm ripe to be taken advantage of. But I trust you. What good is a big man like Mutombo if he's going to play few minutes behind Yao, and only put up a few rebounds and blocks per game? Is there some advantage built into the game jusy in having another big man on your roster?

 

[McLovin]

I am willing to trade anybody on my team, just make the trade fair please. I just had a trade proposed to me which was Baron Davis, Carmelo Anthony and Ben Wallace for three bums... #-o
