Nope. Can't see how that is fair. I asked the Commish how the GMs faired last year that had the top draft selections in the draft. He admitted that the GM in the first draft slot won the entire league but he isn't sold that draft positioning affected outcome that much. To which I answered....yeah, okay.

the guy is a tool. i reckon if you had your chance again you could have got someone like maxiell and got 2nd or 3rd pick. which would have been sweet.

Exactly.

We can trade draft picks though so I need to figure out how I can use that to my advantage.

Use coercion and strong arm tactics. Usually works for me.

Thank you for another great season!

So here's an update.

I ended up drafting pretty well and cashing in on some sleeper picks.

My current team really lacks a power forward, but my guard/small forward combination is sick! Here it is!

Chauncey Billups
Manu Ginobili
Kelenna Azubuike
Joe Johnson
Mikki Moore
Eddy Curry
Damien Wilkins
Kendrick Perkins

In a league with 30 teams, that's not too bad.

In the Week 2 standings I am currently sitting in the 1st place slot of my division.

CENTRAL
Detroit Pistons (me) ~ 11-4-1
Chicago Bulls ~ 6-10-0
Indiana Pacers ~ 5-11-0
Cleveland Cavs ~ 5-11-0
Milwaukee Bucks ~ 3-12-1

There are 4 other teams with a better record in the league but only by a game or two.

Not bad, considering I didn't know the rules fully prior to the franchise player selection.

This week we play Chicago. Hopefully I can stretch this lead out more.

I'm the Pistons!

Nice job so far Mo. Keep up the good work!

Pulled off a major trade last week that is paying dividends for me now.

Traded C. Billups (Detroit) and K. Perkins (Boston) for

M. Ellis and S. Jackson (from Golden St.)

My new team is:

PG - M. Ellis (Golden St.)
SG - M. Ginobili (San Antonio)
SF - D. Wilkins (Seattle)
PF - S. Jackson (Golden St.)
C - E. Curry (Chicago)
Util - J. Johnson (Atlanta)
Bench - K. Akuizabe (Golden St.)
Bench - M. Moore (Sacramento)

Currently, I'm still in first place in my division with the second best record in the league. However, this week I play a team with a pretty good record as well. New York leads their division. Should be a close one.

Since you can only set your lineups up once a week, I need to determine which is a better play.

Ginobili for 2 games
or
Akuizabe(sp?) for 3 games
or
M. Moore for 5 games

The critical cats I need to win are 3 pointers, Steals and FG%.
