haha yeah howard is a 1st rounder fo sho but still there was countless guys who I did not pick because I did not think they were worthy of being taken so early so I thought next round I'd nab em. I kept forgetting that I wouldn't get another pick for 24 turns or whatever.

Yeah i'm a dumbass. I no complain though! Hopefully I can make some improvements throughout the year. I don't mind my squad I just don't think its that solid just yet.

 

[McLovin]

Lebron and Dwight on the same team would be unstoppable imo. Throw a third rounder like McGrady or Carter in there and its championship material...

Only guys i like are LBJ and Boozer...Doubt you'd give one or both up for a bunch from my team though...Have a look if you're interested...

 

[El Coconuto]

Although I missed out on a couple of late bigs I'd like, I can't complain about a Howard-Williams-Durant-Richardson quartet. Throw in guys that hit beyond the perimeter like Allen and Okur and I like the balance of my lineup.

Wouldn't mind bolstering up my bigs though and willing to package a Ray Allen-Grant Hill duo for anyone looking for an upgrade outside. Has to be a reasonable big though.

 

[Ridders]

MY draft would have been pretty good if i hadn't of mucked up with my SG picks. Like my combo of CP3, Melo, TD, Okafor, Chandler (if he stays healthy). Wouldn't mind a SG, would be willing to package guys like Alston, Prince, Outlaw, Fisher and even Okafor if its a good enough player.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Only decision I regret was taking Crawford ahead of Stephen Jackson. I actually meant to select Jackson but forgot to click back to him when I pressed the draft button as it was still on Crawford. Still, Crawford is a solid pick.

I'm happy with my team, seems pretty solid across the board but want bounce-back years from O'Neal & Kidd. And sorry MC, not accepting that trade

 

[Ridders]

Will need more for Okafor my dear McLovin ;-)

 

[McLovin]

Who would you take for Jermaine, Tiger?

Who would you take for Okafor, Ridders?

I need a big...

 

[McLovin]

I'm pretty happy with my team tbh...With my main guys being Dirk, TMac, and Iverson. And when Arenas comes back, that gives me another potential top 20 guy. Josh Smith and Lamar Odom are my best all-rounders and will produce in just about every category throughout the season.

Only real weakness imo, is the centre position. Although it's not completely sh*thouse. Shaq and Z are pretty servicable big men and if they can give me something like 14 and 8 with a block or two, i'll be happy...

Still trying to offload Ben Gordon as i have enough scorers in my team. Want to package him with someone like Gooden or one of my benchies for an upgrade at the centre position...

Did you get my message on yahoo? I would definitely dump Walker. Gordon gives you 3s and decent %s so I wouldn't be too quick to drop him. Walker gives nothing, lousy across the board.

I'd consider a trade of O'Neal & filler for Josh Smith. ;-)

 

[McLovin]

haha...I've heard stories about Walker wanting to get major minutes in Memphis so i'll just hold onto him for now...

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

damn i might struggle in points by the looks of things

 

[McLovin]

I think i might hang on to Josh Smith for a while. Looking at previous years, he's improved with every season and he's a stat stuffer for just about every category...He's definately a top 20 player so it's gonna take a top 20 player to get him away from me...

 

[El Coconuto]

I'm willing to sit on Monta Ellis

 

[Panthers_God]

I'm willing to sit on Monta Ellis

lol, suspended for 30 games

McLovin your trades are ridiculos, i will counter then though.

i wouldnt mind tradin bynum, but i need a double double man in return.

 

[El Coconuto]

lol, suspended for 30 games

Weakest suspension ever. They knew he wasn't going to play any games anyways and essentially just don't want to pay him so they suspended him for his screw-up. Weak on the Warriors part though. Should've made his suspension for when he could actually play.

For the LU loyalists, send me a PM. I have created a side-league for those interested. Will only have eight teams in this league, and the scoring AND roster settings are very different. It's just for fun and shouldn't deter people from this main league.

In this league there is a limit of ten player acquisitions for the whole season and it uses the roto-scoring system. The VERY fun part is that there are only six positions in our draft/league. PG, SG, SF, PF, C, and one UT. That's it. Send me a PM if you're keen because this will be hell wicked and we won't have to update it.

Cheers.

What are the scoring categories?

 

[El Coconuto]

All the basic scoring stats except I threw out TO's because I hate that stat. More than anything, it rewards people who don't get the ball. And I hate that.

Anyways, PM me all those who want in because I just don't want to throw this out here for every man and his dog. Plus I have a good nab for who will keep it updated as well.

McLovin and Ridders, I've replied to your requests. Check your inbox for league details. The draft is Saturday week (not this Saturday, but next) @ 10:00AM. It's two days before the season actually starts. Pimp.

 

[McLovin]

I'm there...

 

[El Coconuto]

Fuuuuuuuuudge come on Vin Baker All Stars. I have another trade in waiting if you don't want to accept my trade offer. Deron Williams, Monta Ellis and Ray Allen for Al Jeff and Rudy Gay. If it's a no go just let me know because I have another trade waiting in the wings. Cheers.
