Rants, Gripes, Trash Talking, Celebrations, commentary for the novice league. And more trash talking. But clean trash.

I would start talking smack at max11 but then I looked at his team and figured I'd just as well :yield: right now. I can't say I was unlucky in the draft, I just did a poor job.

Tater: good luck finding a SF. I heard Antoine's agent mention that he'd like to get a starting role on the Totts.

LOL @ the max thing Slippy.

You are behind the times on the sf's. Better wake up or you will be behind in the standings too.

Perhaps you overlooked my THREE (3) recent small forward acquisitions. Lemme introduce them to you although when we play each other you will know them well enough because they are gonna spank your boys. Say hello to:

Peja Stojakovic
Donyell Marshall and
James Jones (Phoenix...possible big sleeper pick)

:caked: Bring it on!!!!

LOL. ITS ON! :boxing:
I just looked at the trade thing and You made some good trades to fill that. You went from doughnut hole to cream custard filling and it only cost you your blocks and rebounds:P . Well, So much for shipping Antoine's ass out. If have need of shot blocking and rebounds you can come to SLippy's emporium of Mid to Upper Echelon Bigs. Slippy is always looking to augment his cadre of young, wildly inconsistent and injury prone PG's.

Good pickup on jones. I think when we match up, it'll be interesting. You concede blocks and rebounds with a (formidable) guard heavy line up while my pine riding little ones will give up assists and threes.

I can't wait! Let the games (and smack talk) begin!!!!!!!!!!!! :blah::peace::laser::whoo:

I have some flashy bigs, and no guards at all. Just Sam Cassell. Unfortunately I don't seem very deep at any position to do much tradin'.

linwood, hit me up if you want to discuss some moves. I have lots of players to play with.

Btw, cassel is gold right now. Livingston is injured for a month or so and very fragile. Cassel could put up very good #s this year.

Thanks for the tip about ET. I would like to talk trades, but I think I am going to wait until after the 1st or 2nd week. Maybe by then I can get an idea of what I'm doing and what I need!

I know you have donyell, and peja, but how did you get jones and why?

I had a lot of guards so I grabbed an extra small forward to help. Apparently, the guy I picked up had a really nice preseason and I read somewhere that he might be "the steal of the draft." (I doubt it,lol).I didn't need Wesley, really, so I just did it.

I really have no idea what I'm doing so I can't give you much of an answer on that. Just trying to balance out my team a bit, I guess. Hopefully I can learn something about strategies this time around so I can be more competitive next season. :)

I'm hungry for some Tater Tots. Gunna snack down this week, put on 20lbs, but work it off by running up some wins.

It's a bad time to be a Sith Spud. You won't last 10 minutes in the MICROWAVE!

Go ahead and eat all the greasy tater tots you want. It's just gonna make you fat, slow, and unhealthy.

As for me, I'm going to feast on a healthy sandwich. I'll heat my food up with a light sabre rather than use some broken down old appliance like a microwave oven. I like REAL heat. Not those fake nuke waves.

You better take your sorry arse guards somewhere else. This game is nothing more than an exhibition tune up for my guys. You may be able to beat slippy or someone with that CBA/Developmental league poor excuse for a lineup you have. But don't bring that weak stuff to the Tater Tots. :boink:

Prepare to get schooled Nukemeister. After beating you I may change my team's name to the "Teacher Tots"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:laugh::p

my man c-webb tearing it up in the first half v milwaukee

my man D-Mase...so did not.

I'll be excited to see tonights results. It'll be the first real day of fantasy league...:confused: or something.

I took J-Rich outta my lineup last night because it was rumoured he may not play.

Shot 0.478
28 points
2 made 3s
6 Reb
2 assists
2 blocks
1 steal

I am what is known as a wimp.

I benched Maurice Williams, who scored 26 off the bench last night. I started Richard Jefferson, who scored 18, but was thrown out for fighting with... Maurice Williams. :doh:


After 2 days, looks like the Linwood Allstars are getting killed by mismanagement.

Tinsley had flu-like symptoms. The last update said he was probably going to play. I sat him and his 5 assists and 5 steals down and played telfair

Telfair
5 pts
3 ass
3 t/o

at least he made a 3 so he had SOME value.

Mismanagement is right! I'm my teams worst enemy.:doh:

Erick Dampier was last night waived by the Webz Wombatz.

Dampier has had a disappointing start to the season and is losing minutes with Dallas coach Avery Johnson choosing to go with smaller, faster line-ups.

"Its disappointing you know, I felt like I could help this team win, but its kind of hard to do that when you don't get to play."

Dampier's replacement is 6th year centre Mark Blount of the Boston Celtics. He has had a promising pre-season and looks like he will be getting solid minutes as the starting centre.

Said the Wombatz GM, "We feel like Mark is an up-and-coming centre in this league and can help contribute to this team right away."

Dampier's status is unknown as he flounders on the Free Agent market.

Be careful. Big men always start off slow. They are usually the last members on the team to get in game shape.

Yeah, but I swapped 1 centre for another and Blounts minutes should be higher than Dampiers. Either way, they both won't be significant contributors.

true. true. true.

I'm riding on Camby and Brezec at the moment, which wasn't really my fault cos I had a lot of centres high on my draft list, just didn't work out with the auto draft. I had a ton of SF types.

All I want from the centres is some decent FG%, boards and blocks and as long as those 2 stay healthy, should be able to contribute that much at least.

Healthy is a big 'if' for Camby. Heres hoping.

Blount actually having value??? Is this a contract year? Is this Bizarro world? Good luck with Blount!

The reason you guys are struggling in the middle was because me and Linwood goobled up virtually every big except Yao and Miller. I got mine at the expense of virtually everything else. :doh: At least they had trade value.

thanks, but he scored 19 yesterday and played over 40 minutes. but as i stated i don't think i need a great deal from my centres. i've got garnett, brand and c-webb who do a lot of the big man work from the F position, and its not worth trading a great player from another position to get an average centre. i think i can get by.

dampier is probably better than blount but he doesn't look like getting enough minutes to be of much help. (only scored 1 pt yesterday).

had it been a live draft, i definitely would have got a decent centre early.

I meant "you" in general, not you meaning Webz. All you really need is a decent warm body to fill that slot because most centers will only add to the categories you're already strong in. Hopefully Blounts performance will continue and you'll have gotten a steal.

I've pretty much traded my expendable C's.

I'm leading on superstarovs team 6 to 2. he's very deep at center with yao, ilgauskas, darko, dalembart, theo ratliff, and nazr mohammed.

I have Dampier in the Advanced League. He only played 19 minutes last night and only had 4 Rebounds. That is not enough minutes for a starting Center nor is it enough production. I will give him a few more games before I dismiss him and find some scrub that can atleast provide rebounds. I also had Radmonivic from Seattle. He only played 11 minutes last night and from the looks of it he is the odd man out of the rotation. I am lucky I picked up Jason Collins off the waiver wire before the season started and he looks like he is off to a good start. I hope he keeps it up or I will be riding Marcus Camby and a scrub.

My roster is very strong. Everyone slept on Zaza Pachullia. No joke. I think the kid will be good this year.

I'm loaded for bear at PG (Kidd, BDiddy, Alston) so I am just looking for some depth in the bigs right now. Lots of interesting candidates floating around.

At this point, anyone I pick up will probably need multi position eligibility. No sense in having a bench that can only fill specific roles.

I have no idea what I'm looking for yet. Good FG% from my bigs, but horrible ft%. Ron Artest and Richard Jefferson just killed me last night on % as well.

My workingmans guard combo of Sam Cassell and Rip Hamilton just torched the joint...

Gonna take some time to sort this all out:confused:

I am very weak at PG and C. I picked up ZO:frusty: off of the waivers. I figured Shaq will spend alot of time on the bench(early fouls) with folks Pick and rollin' them all year. Plus I think Shaq will miss 15-20 games this year. However, he is a plug in player at best.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue. -Proverbs 18:21 Wow I didn't meant to speak....I mean type that on him.

I was just complaining about the TO's. Shaqs butterfingers were killing me. Now it looks like I'm even worse off! :mad:

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue. -Proverbs 18:21 Wow I didn't meant to speak....I mean type that on him.

sorry about the ebonics it was a typo

AI is obviously the francise player. Up front I have Sheed, Bosh and Okur. At SF I have Bobbie Simmons. My SG is kind of done by committe. No obvious standouts but a lot of solid players like Katino Mobley and Stack.

Still have a lot of backup points.

What do you guys think of Marvin Williams ( 2nd pick in the draft ) as a sleeper? You know he is going to play a lot on that team.

I picked the Hawks for most improved team.

With Harrington an on again, off again injury concern, and the lack of depth in their frontcourt, Williams could be huge. I think he would be worth picking up for a bench position.

I also picked the Hawks. I picked Villaneuve as rookie of the year, but had Williams 2nd. I looked for Williams a few days ago butI think Max already has Williams on his team.

I really dislike your roster. Especially this week. :P AI had more boards than Mags that first night :doh: ...and less turnovers :doh: :doh: .

The Darko-Nots have scrapped the bottom of the talent pool and dug up Delonte West and Smush Parker. Already starting WW pickup Tinsley, the Darko-Nots PG line-up will consist entirely of FA/WW acquisitions. It couldn't have gotten any worse. Hopefully these hot players won't chill out while on the D-Nots roster.

Who Do you consider your franchise players?

Like the Charlotte Bobcats, my roster is built around Emeka Okafor. I had him high in the rankings but expected him to be my 2nd pick...not first. Well, we play the hand dealt to us, not the hand we wish had been dealt. I'm hoping Okafor will put together A-list player type numbers during the season. And hopefully, this strategy will produce an un-bobcat-like result.

Thought I would go big, get the FG%, blocks and rebounds catagories. (everyone always wants points!)

I figured Shaq would miss a few games over the season, but I didn't expect a "Monther" during the second game!

My guards (so far) have been carying the load, and my frontcourt has been somewhat dissapointing. Go figure.

Man, I've got 12 three pointers made and I still have JRich and BDiddy (if healthy) to play tonight.

Unfortunately, I'm giving up points like crazy to Tater Toddlers.

And I can't buy a block tonight. Krstic had 5 in the opener and comes back tonight with zero.

GO GOLDEN STATE!

My big men are giving me nothing. Kyle Korver "punked" me again tonight with 0 points as did as Jerome James and McDyess. Thank goodness Pierce came up big in the loss:laugh:

Microwave, I do not recall picking Williams he found his way on my team during the draft. If you have players from bad teams seems like their stats will be inflated.

Slippy, I made it a priority to draft AI. Sure his FG% is usually low but not much lower than your typical point. Plus he has a high assists/TO ratio not to mention he will avg over 30PPG if healthy. Combine him with almost any SG and they will outscore other guard combo's.

BK playing as I had hoped. 14p and 15 dimes tonight for the Bobcats. Very underrated.

Camby getting more minutes with Nana out, 6 blocks already.

And that Eddie Jones pick up off waivers was right on cue, draining 5 three's and 25 pts.

Someone also laughed at Mark Blount after I picked him up. Not so now...

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BDiddy is not starting. :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

I didn't laugh. I was stunned he actually had value. :P

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BDiddy is not starting. :frusty: :frusty: :frusty:

:pound:...I mean uhmmm :( darn...tough break, Micro. :heh:


Micro and I are having a good battle. It's up for grabs. Looks like it's going to be 5-4 no matter who wins.

I like the savyness of the GM's in the league. :thumb: the FA/WW movement is interesting to look at. People are really combing for sleepers.

shoot i was up 6-2 now its tied.

I like the savyness of the GM's in the league. :thumb: the FA/WW movement is interesting to look at. People are really combing for sleepers. I keep a list of guys I think are coming on or have the potential to come on. There are some guys worth picking up out there if your roster is weak. Right now, none of them upgrade my players, not to say that my roster is perfect, but they may down the line.

The trick is to make sure you are clicking the little bullets next to your player's name to see what their latest news is. That is, if you aren't stupid like me and play BDiddy when he is not going to play.

Frikkin BDiddy. When he plays, he's a top 5 PG. WHEN HE PLAYS.

Quick tip:

Don't be afraid to use the Yahoo Fantasy B-Ball "Watch" option for players you are interested in. So much activity happens throughout the week that it is easy to lose sight of a player you have your eye on.

I love that feature. I have the memory of a strainer. The big stuff usually stays in there but the little stuff passes right through.
:laugh:

The watch feature is very helpful.

I have a mind like a steel trap. Whatever gets in, ain't coming out. HA!

I didn't laugh. I was stunned he actually had value. :P

not any more. blount killed me tonight 7pts, 8to, fouled off in 20 minutes.

welcome to the doghouse mark blount!

I think you are gonna get me, Micro. :mmph:

Anyone know why Donyell Marshall didn't play tonight?

NBa.com's Courtside live omitted darko milicic from the lineup so he never registered on the pop-up.

Caron Butler had a knee contusion and is day to day...yahoo had nothing on it...Nobody seemed to have anything...I finally found a foot-note somewhere with that info...i kept him in because D-mase was killing me.

My indiana Guards went off today but lost. at least they could have forced an overtime to pad the stat line :P . Boston...bunch of chumps...should have had double overtime...they were scrubbing it up against Okafor and the bobcats.

rumor is that he strained a quad and is day to day.

rumor is that he strained a quad and is day to day.

ok, thanks Slippy.

Well, at least that diaper sucker Larry Hughes finally lit it up in the 4th Q. What a LOSER.

Bruce Bowen had an awesome stat line. I'm happy I sat him.
0-4, 0-1, x-x, 0-0-0 1TO 0-0-0-0
How the heck can you play 25 minutes as a starter on the world champs and muster a single single? And it was a TURNOVER!

@Darth Tater - I ran the #s, it is going to be really close and probably decided on Sunday. If BDiddy doesn't go and go off, I'll probably lose. You have more guys playing...

Yeah, I saw that. I think over the whole week I had more playing but I'm not sure. It's really not fair. It helps you on turnovers and doesn't affect the percentage categories, but it really hurts you in the remaining 6 categories.

I can't tell if our guys are playing well, mediocre, or lousy. All I know is that it's close. Your guys really seemed to rebound well tonight, but again, I dunno what is considered good. Well, you're a good man who knows basketball so I don't mind a butt kicking too much. I'll accept my loss with dignity...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!:hurt:

Smush Parker came up with 4 steals on Sunday to squeak a 5-4 victory over Max11. "We knew we couldn't beat him," said GM slippy, "so we had to basically bum rush him with everybody. When we ran out of players, we went out and got more." Parker was one of those extra guys brought in. "I was on fire," said Smush recounting his frist two games, "as soon as I got to this team, I lost my shooting touch." Go figure. The D-Nots had a notoriously slow start with Desmond Mason laying bricks like...well :confused: ...

I'm only 1 game behind webz for the best record in the league, and i face mbabbs team who's best player T-Mac is out for 3 weeks with back problems.

How'd Webz get to the top?

How'd Webz get to the top?

sheer weight of numbers my friend. i ranked 1st in the league in FG%, points, rebounds, assists and tied for 2nd in steals and blocks.

i ranked dead last in turnovers though.

i don't think my guys played any more games, they must have just had a good week. :)

i ranked dead last in turnovers though.



I thought for sure I would be dead last in turnovers.

You have shopped at SLippy's Emporium of Mid to Upper Echelon Bigs and you must be a satisfied customer! Camby's monster game. Why didn't he do that for me? I think it was a good trade, Jamison fired just enough threes to squeak by my matchup. Camby was one of my favourite players. I was sad to see him go but had to bring balance to the 'Nots. Of course, Camby comes with a 2 day limited warranty. :eyebrows:

Hope this works. i let go of jim jackson because he's just been sucking for derek anderson of the houston rockets since i expect him to have more playing time with T-MAC out for about 3 weeks with back problems. And guess who has T-MAC as there best plkayer, yeah my next opponent.

Yeah I'm glad Camby has come through so far, but he had an average game yesterday. With Nene out it means more playing time, but also more chance of injury. When your next best centre is Primoz Brezec, there's too much riding on him for my liking.

Maybe another monsta trade is in the pipeline...

I would have kept Jamison, but I was jammed at the F with Melo, Harrington, Brand, Garnett, J.Johnson, and C-Webb. I wonder if you would have taken Harrington instead... :ohwell:

man smush, could you at least score a bucket? Nope didn't think so. :doh:

I'm in a dogfight with the Pastor. Check out our matchup...

Man, my good luck I picked up KVH to backup Disco Dirk. Nowitski went out yesterday with back problems...

Kobe, he's racking up points for me like crazy. I don't think he hasn't had a 30 point game yet. great for may team.

I'm playing against chauncey billups ....but hot damn, you gotta be happy about that stat line....27 pts 11 assists and 3 3's.

Big ben did a fine job for me too....15 pts....16 Reb plus a block and a steal.

Go Pistons!!!

My team was decimated by injury and crapy play this week. :doh:
Tinsley went down. Then Kirilenko went down. my team is way short handed right now. :(

My team is built around my two centers: Shaq and Tim. Shaq is out, and last night, Tim shot a blistering .162 from the field. I am also leading the league in turnovers. :mad:

On the other hand, Jefferson and Artest are filling up the stat sheet, (including turnovers:mad:), and Maurice Williams and Earl Boykins have provided a nice lift off the bench.

OMG!

Raef LaFrentz, 29 points at the 2nd quarter mark tonight against Houston. 7-7 on 3 pointers. THIS IS SICK!

OMG!

Raef LaFrentz, 29 points at the 2nd quarter mark tonight against Houston. 7-7 on 3 pointers. THIS IS SICK!

almost as sick as Camby's stat line from tonight... :P

18pts, 22reb, 7blk, 3ast, 1stl

almost as sick as Camby's stat line from tonight... :P

18pts, 22reb, 7blk, 3ast, 1stl

This is too good to be true. I am waiting for Camby to throw his back out or sprain an ankle or something. He is avg. 3 blocks a game and this is his second game where he has had over 20 boards and 7 blk's.

LaFrentz killed his shooting % trying to match his career high in points. He got his 32, but I almost wished he had stopped at 29...

Still pulled down some boards so it's all good....

not a good night to be a jazz fantasy player owner. de ja vu from last season anyone??

It was a bad night for the bulls as well. I have players on both teams (Jazz and Bulls) and only 1 did not completely suck it up deng had a good night but

duhon 1-11 for a horrible .091 fg% no free throws
harpring 1-7 for a whopping .143 fg% sad sad sad
Can I intrest anyone in a trade for an overrated pg and sg lol sniff:Cry::pout: :crutch:

Well, after what I considered a mediocre draft, I have just completed cleaning house like crazy.:pout:

I was a basement dweller.:confused:

Nothing exciting at all.:bored:

Now... I have searched the stats dept of all players, compared them to my guys, and made major moves.:rant:

I dumped like 8 guys, for some no names, with decent stats.:welcome:

I won my match-up for the first day with the new Superstarov'd roster. We'll see what happens.:fear:

Anyone know anything about the guys I picked up?:juggle:

I can't say I "know" anything about them but I was keeping my eye on Collins, Lue, Pietrus and Giricek (particularly Giricek and Collins). I think you made good moves. Even if only one or two of all those guy you picked up turn out to be of value you didn't give up anything to get them, IMO. You had to do something. Nice job!

you may even win this week. Grant hill....out. AK-47....out. Shaun Livingston....out. Mike Miller....out. Jamal Tinsley...they say he's healthy but I know better. Kwame Brown...I'll trade you for Darko. C'mon man! If you refuse, the rest of my roster will destroy you!!!:boxing:

I had Jason Collins in the advanced league for a while. I dumped him last week and picked up Channing Frye. His FG% and FT% were at 30% it was killing me. He would have one good game and then have 2 bad games. Maybe he can snap out of it and do some magic for you. Good Luck!!! :nod:

so mike miller leaves laft nights game early with a banged knee. Today he goes for 24/8. he's sitting on my bench. :doh:

T-Mac is benched tonight

isn't that the worst? i was out of town sunday when rashard lewis got back in the lineup, i went to put him back in around 6 PM but he played earlier in the day...so while on my bench he dropped 41 points and 8 rebounds. GRRR haha

HA Pistons win and T-Mac gets 6 points

lol and to add to my earlier complaint, i put walker on the bench over ford, he ends up shooting 84% with three 3s, 26 points and 7 boards. grrr!!!! haha

I don't have that problem any more hahaha.
Jamison: rolled ankle
Kirilenko: sprained ankle
Hill: blah blah
Livingston: back blah blah
Tinlsey: Pffff.

They;s all be hurtin'. I have trouble filling the active players slots with warm bodies.

I could see why you put ford in over Walker, I didnt put in T-Mac because he was playing the Pistons and by putting him in would make me feel like I was rooting against the Pistons

well walker has like one good game out of every 4, he's always a risk to put in ... shoulda known he'd do fine against philly. i'm gonna have to stop playin ford though, he kills on turnovers and fg% which i'm last in my league, and i'm #1 in assists by a mile so i don't need that.

i got kirilenko too slippy, i feel yer pain, but gooden from the cavs is a solid backup, consistent double doubles in points/boards, gives you blocks and rarely fouls or turns it over

I could see why you put ford in over Walker, I didnt put in T-Mac because he was playing the Pistons and by putting him in would make me feel like I was rooting against the Pistons

lol, just put him in (except when you play me) and hope he scores 52 points and the Pistons win 95-75.;)

I enjoyed this game (Houston)much more than the game against Portland where Miles had a good 1st quarter and the game was close, and I couldnt really be upset because it benefited my team. I see what you are saying though

he did horrible anyways tay kept him at 3-16 shooting, but he did get 13 boards.

Great matchup this week Micro. I knew it was going to go down to the wire. I reckon theres a good possibility we'll be seeing each other in the playoffs later on.

If only Melo didn't go 1-5 from the charity stripe on the final night...

and my main PG Brevmeister had a terrible week. .214 FG, 12 pts, 14 assists, and missed a game. I should have had assists too!


OK Tater, you're the next lucky punk, lets go!

OK Tater, you're the next lucky punk, lets go!

I may need to change my team name to "Mashed potatoes" after this matchup. You have the one team I do not want to face!

You'll hear no "smack" from me this week! :yield:

There are 5 -6 categories I usually win and 3 I almost always lose. This week I figure If I win any categories it will be from the 3 I normally lose.

dude, its going to be a lot closer than you think.
if we had of played each other last week it would have been 5-4.

i'm expecting a tough match-up. i take no opponent lightly this early in the season.

Yeah, but didn't you say your guys had an off week? You got the team! My team is good...but I can't match yours. Hopefully, I can do as well as the Micro man. I'd take 4-5 in a hot second.

I was 3 steals short of the win. Just trying to play everyone tight. Idea is for people to have fun and enjoy playing. I've never played head-to-head before, but I do follow many teams so that helps when it comes to knowing who is who on each team.

If Rafer Alston was healthy the last two games, I would have got my 3 steals...

Yeah, Pastor got me by one steal. :mad: I deserved it. I think I had 10 guys play yesterday and got FOUR steals total!!!! Yeesh! lol

Micro's doing a lot of moving in the FA market. I have trouble letting my guys go. What are you looking for?

that injury bug has been starting to bite me k-mart,a dn barbosa are out for a while, and micr is making use of it and whooping me 7-2! and barbosa and martin are not going to be off my team until 2 or 3 days from now because of waivers. this might be my first loss.

If you dropped those guys for new players you will acquire your new players the next day. The rest of the league, however, will need to wait for two days to acquire the players you released if they claim them on waivers.

Dude, if you lose it's not necessarily because of your injuries. It's probably because you are going to be going through the roughest part of the schedule over the next three-four weeks. I survived it (although I expect this week will be the toughest yet) and you will do ok too because you have a pretty good team. But you may as well forget about those 7-2 wins over the next month. 5-4 is good against the teams you are going to be facing and 4-5 or 3-6 losses could be in the cards too.

Good luck! :thumb:

yeah i got a new player for k-mart, but barbosa will get off not until tommorow. oh well you look great so far to one of the best teams maybe even the best, you're up 6-2 against webz.

Yeah, IMO he's the best. I'd really be kicking his butt if Stojakovic wasn't hurt. Too bad it's only been one day with only a couple of guys playing. Believe me, he will eat up my entire lead by tonight or tomorrow at the latest. I'm just hoping to play him close. I'm not being modest...I fully expect my first loss this week.

I'm just staying mobile, switching up for players who are coming back from injury or getting hot.

I've had the benefit of BDiddy and JRich playing 16 games in November. That will come to an end and I need a deep roster to stay competitive.

I'm playing for fun. Anyone who wants to hit me up for a trade, or some suggestions, PM my Roscoe account. I don't answer many micro PMs because the account fills up too fast.

As DT mentioned, I'm happy with 5-4 wins and 4-5 losses. Anyone struggling, hit me up. I'll try to tip you off on some players that I watch but can't grab right now. If you are not struggling, don't hit me up. I'll give you lousy advice...

you know, this week i may be in a bit of trouble. my team has quite a number of players who are on the same team.

harrington/johnson
brezec/knight
camby/melo
jones/jackson (who was just dropped)
pierce/blount

it seems this week almost all these teams are playing on the same night. i've checked my schedule and so many guys will have to be left on the bench. which means there are some days where only 1 or even no players are playing on a given night. :doh:

yeah my efficiency might be better this week due to lack of games (eg. turnovers), but my numbers will be down.

luck just might be on your side this week taters... take it while you can! :ohwell:

This week my team has too many off nights where only a couple of guys play so I am just getting crucified in almost every stat out there.:Cry: There is definitely no chance of a comeback. Tonight Friday and Saturday are my only nights to make up some ground cuz Sunday Randolph is my only guy playing and i dont think mr double double can save me. So i am ready to bow to the superstarovs:hail:

Not much difference really. We've both had 8 players actually play so far. You have 30 player games remaining to my 32 (if I just now counted correctly). I took into account days where some of our players had to ride the bench due to lack of an open position. I was hoping for 4-5, but it looks like by the end of the week I'll be lucky to go 3-6.

The only think I'm "taking this week while I can" are my LUMPS! Anyone for lumpy potatoes? :laugh:

I got my A team in tonight. Hopefully they'll do well enough to wrench some categories from Mcbabb.

Ike Digou is finally able to play. Hopefully he'll do good....next week.

great time for both my starting centres to miss games. camby - got a bruise (poor thing), and blount a DNP-CD (what the?).

took a gamble on picking up sammy dalembert early, but looks like he's back from injury today.

Stojakovic missed all of his games for me this week (3), so that more than makes up for your Centers.

i think you just compared stojakovic to camby, but that couldn't be...

haha :nono:

i'd take 1 game of camby over 10 of ol' marshmallow boy any day!

anyway, it looks like neither of us is going to get the others best shot, so the winner will be via TKO. :boxing:

Nope, you'll win because you have the better team. I'm not debating that. I'll win three pointers for sure. I'll be very fortunate to hold on to the 3 other categories I currently lead and lose 4-5. More than likely, I'll win two more categories and lose 3-6. I can live with that, but 2-7, which is entirely possible, would really stink for me.

I'll officially concede right now! Good game!!!
(Watch out for Micro...his team is getting better every day). I still like my team and think I'll definitely compete for positions 3-5. :p:hail:

congrats on sneaking past me it was a close one be ready for the rematch
next mbabbs be ready to feel the wrath of my first loss:flame: :boxing: :evil: :fear:

Congrats to everyone. Poor Linwood was so close to winning. Close like I was in week 3.

Mbabb and Superstarov are coming on. Supes dumped most of his roster and made out good!

Congrats to ALMOST everyone. I got hammered 2-7 and expect more of the same this week (44 potential games to himat's 51 will not be conducive to winning many categories) . :(

guess its another good week for me besides last week against micro all my opponents have had less games than me, but it's going to suck when my guys won't play as much late in the season.:doh:

I'm now at the bottom of every category. Funny how they make up for the lack of active players by turning the ball over more.

well webz is ahead of me again. his team is very very deep.

I'm now at the bottom of every category. Funny how they make up for the lack of active players by turning the ball over more.

That can't be true. I have to be at or near the bottom for quite a few catagories myself. Somehow I have a bunch of turnover prone big men who don't care too much for rebounding.

Mismanagement hasn't helped, either. I just dropped J. McInnis from Jersey and picked up M. Jaric from Minnesota. I don't really know much about either of these guys, buy McInnis hasn't been impressive, and I already have another Net. Figured if I added a different team player, at least I would get something out of my off nights. Then I looked at the schedule. Looks like Minny has nearly a week off!

Oh well. Maybe I can figure it out by the time Shaq returns. Then you cats better watch out!

linwood, we'll make an interesting match up....kinda like toronto vs. atlanta.

linwood, we'll make an interesting match up....kinda like toronto vs. atlanta.

LOL. I dunno, it looks like you guys have pretty decent teams.

we got great teams when we can field all the players. Look at miami, losing shaq was huge. I got AK-47 back and by christmas I should be getting competative with Ghill and Livingston adding TO's to my score.

Will Desmond mason ever learn to play on NOK? Will Tinley string 2 decent games together? Telfair...I may drop him for Carlos.

I made the unfortunate mistake of thinking Kwame would be more than a tempting scrub.

Here is a tip. Before you drop a guy, make sure you do your due dilligence.

Is the guy you are picking up going to get the same minutes? Does he have injury concerns? How has he played in ALL 5 of his last games?

What's he like historically? Is this a contract year?

Someone offer me a trade. I've got lots of good players, and you just might catch me in a generous mood.

Micro, I look at your team and think "they don't look too good to me", but then I see the numbers you put up daily as you kick tail and I'm like "How the hell is he doing that?" lol

Yeah, someone offer me a trade too. I have too many shot blockers. Somebody want one? Przybilla, Foyle, Kaman, Mihm, and Haywood.

I also have Bibby, Wade, A.Miller, Stoudamire, Arenas, and Hinrich at guard. Any offers?

Ahh, very tempting. I still seem to be semi competitive, so I might wait for the return of Shaq and the midseason "Rasheed Wallace" deal.... or:confused: :eyebrows:

I took what I got in the draft and I only made moves for better players. I also looked at what my guys can do well and tried to add players that do that. I know I will suck at %s and TOs, so I had to be very focused on the remaining categories.

If you can believe it, I made 2 trades and I have waived the returns from both of them. I gave up Boris Diaw and Cutino Mobley and maybe someone else.

I had Rafer Alston. If he gets healthy before T-Mac, thats a good pickup for someone.

For as good as my team is, I'm 1 game over .500. But last week was amazing. My #s were good enough to beat anyone in the league.

My draft team was kickin on blocks and rebunds but not much else. I figured I had to shore up at least the steals and 3pts to be remotely competative.

Now I'm stacked with SF's...and my guards all suck

linwood, we'll make an interesting match up....kinda like toronto vs. atlanta.

I can't wait! Clash of the Titans. Maybe we should look into some trades. I haven't looked at your team, but I suck with the turnovers. If you have some cats that can't hold on to the ball but excell in other areas, let me know. Maybe we can work something out.

Well, what sf's you willing to part with?

Caron Butler. right now.

I'm a bad GM because I Like my guys and have a hard time letting them go. I let go of West and Smush because they had good minutes but weren't reliable enough. Calderon is cracking 30 mpg now.

I know how Micro feels about darko...but even though my team is short handed, I'm sure he'll do at least as good with 10 minutes what Kwame does with 25. :P

Caron Butler. right now.



I'll pm you

My team name should be changed to the "wimps". Almost all of my players have missed games like Maggette, Wallace, Brown, Claxton need I mention Boozer? If we could get healthy we could make a run.

don't look now but you're up 9 zip! haha.

after last nights game the score may shift 9-0 the other way

Looking to trade Carter or Allen for PF/C who can grab some boards.

I have to fire myself as coach...the other day it was Desmond mason busting loose for 25/6...tonight its mike miller :doh: ...brother was suppsed to have a concussion. At least I'm giving darko more burn than the pistons :P

I feel your pain about Miller. I have him in both of my leagues and had him sitting because of his concussion.

I might as well concede this week right now. Not only does your team look superior statistically, but you seem to have alot of players that actually have games this week. I have no one playing today. and the rest of the week it looks like we are playing alot of 10 on 4 ball. :mad:


Nice matchup. Enjoy the victory, I'll see you in the playoffs with a healthy Shaq.

(Oh yeah, nice pickup on Amare. You sir, are in a position to win now, and in the future)

I wouldnt be opposed to a trafe involving Diaw

Yeah, I noticed I had a huge advantage in the numbers this week. Last week I was shorthanded...it was totally frustrating. Plus you had that guy who is suspended for 2 days.
I don't want to face you when you are healthy. I think you get Shaq back Sunday...I can't say I'm sorry I missed him. Somehow, even shorthanded we are even on blocks (my strength) and you lead in assists (another strength). But you must have a bunch of Shaqs & Big Ben's on your team because you are clanging your free throws and I always lose that one, but I'm way up.
You probably will get the advantage next week against whoever you play. Still...I'm not taking a victory over you for granted. Lots can happen and Duncan & Artest were playing well so far .
I just got back from the Harry Potter movie. I'm going to go look at the stats for tonight now.

Oh, the Amare thing...I figured somebody with a healthy team was going to grab him. I wish I could have waited. It could backfire. Hopefully not. I may just throw him back real soon. lol.

yeah personally i think its a little early for amare. unless youre real desperate. can you afford to have an entire slot unproductive for 3 whole months?

well if youre confident you can make the playoffs minus a spot, then its a good move.

i thought i was taking a risk picking up dalembert 3 days early, but you've taken the cake by 3 months. good for you!

I agree webz, picking up Amare this eary is a huge mistake. NOBODY should consider picking him up for at least 6 more weeks!!!!

You really screwed yourself there Tator Tots!! :heh:

Actually, I thought about it more over the last couple days and dumped him this morning (because it was the earliest I could get Harpring back). I picked Harpring back up so I can cheer for him to score 20 points and get 8 rebounds in a HUGE Piston victory when I go see the game on Monday. OMG...I CANNOT WAIT! My wife had a Hooded Piston sweatshirt delivered here a couple of days ago (from the Palace store in Michigan) just so I can wear it to the game.


Webz...I think even with Amare I was going to have fits with you in the playoffs:yield:, so I figure I may as well just enjoy the next 2 months with a full roster. It's not like I need to win anyhow...no money involved... :laugh: Just bragging rights. (Wait a minute...which is more important:noidea:)

I am in 2 other leauges and he is taken in both of those one guy is in 6th 5 games back i am playing him this week and beating him 9-0 and in the other one the guy that has him is in 11th place 17.5 games back just goes to show the ir was nice to have. I did not get the fact that because the nba got rid of the ir they had to as well they could have came up with a solution for injured guys oh well it means we all have a chance at him when we feel the time is right.

This morning is that Amare might be out for the season.

I think I read it in the Sacramento Bee.

ITS OFFICIAL....Amare is OUT for the season!!!!

i have looked all over to see any facts on him being done if you have a link post it

LMAO. Now you know what he was up to while your back was turned enjoying the game last night.

You may as well put down the flag dude. I don't think he is taking any prisoners this week.

The only category I have is TO's. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT AWAY TOO!! :behindsof

For the second time in one matchup... I concede.

:pout:

Listen guys its a long season. Not even a quarter way through yet. Lot of changes are going to happen between now and the end.

Alright Darth, Get your Bibbys on and be ready to ball cuz I'm ready to put the hurt on you for all the Darko smack you been talking on this board.

:fencing:

micro and darth are now only a half a game behind me and i used to be way ahead.:P

Apparently you guys are unfamiliar with the fine art of Sandbagging.

Come back you have. Smug you are that you have retaken the lead hmmm? Injury still clouds the force. Grown strong the sith have. And more games do they play. In exile I must go and watch over the son of Stoudemire.

Slippy, you are one funny dude. Linwood is funny too, but I think I will have the last laugh when JRich has his annual 8 game injury and Ron Artest gets traded to a team where he can be the primary scoring option. Oh, and Michael Sweetney is not fat. He's big boned.

I sense a disturbance in the force.

As I told Obiwan kenobi, "your powers have grown weak old man". Join me, you celestial muppet. Together we shall do great things and bring Webz and the rest of the galaxy to their knees. The Sith rule the fantasy world.

When JRich has his annual 8 game injury, he will have Kmart and Shaq to keep him company.

Only time will tell with Ron. I agree though. If he goes somewhere that will turn him loose, Lookout. Or, they might not find the "right match" for Ron, and he might be forced to concentrate on his other career.

And as far as Sweetney goes... That guy is great. He might not score a whole lot, but he is close to a double double every game, with good percentages too.

The jury is still out on the Allstars. They have a lot of frail personalities that need to come together on this team.

I sense a disturbance in the force.

your way of saying you want Okafor for Harpring this is. Not so easily swayed by the lure of the dark side am I. With Kirilenko and Howard, rule the galaxy the tots would. So keep them, must I.

This will be an interesting game day. My team shot well until now which is a welcome change. I may have fallen back in assists but none of my PG's have played yet. Hopefully Artest leaving will open up Stephen Jacksons weak game. I will have to turn up the rebs, blocks and steals and cross my fingers that my guys shoot ok and Darths miss a lot.

The force is strong with you. However, you underestimate the powers of the *tater*side.

Give yourself to the Dark Side. It is the only way you can save your *stats*. If you will not turn to the Dark Side... then perhaps *Linwood* will...

I see you have constructed a new *team*. Your *team* is complete, indeed you are as powerful as the *commissioner* has forseen.

---------------------------------------------------------------
I'll concede turnovers right now, even though I lead that one. The rest you are gonna hafta battle hard for.
Draw your light sabre muppet man. Neither the Wizard of Oz nor Frank Oz can give you the victory you seek. :laser:

**walks away breathing ominously**

pfff. I field a team with two broken legs and I'm in the upper echelon of rebounding. The only chance you got is if Ben Wallace....THE BEN WALLACE...plays another Utah type game. We BOTH don't want that to happen now do we?

Cmon and bring it. :fencing:

I'll try not to chuck :brick:all week long so be Prepared or be french fried!!!

hmmmmmmmmm. I dunno. :decision:

OOOoooooooo! Thats a rock and a hard place, right there!

Darth -->:brick: :horn: <---slippy

it matches up every once in a while...

24 blocks in one night should be illegal!!!! OUCH!Not to mention all those rebounds you had.:faint2:

:violin: poor Darth

I need some tylenol. :sick:

Oh well, sometimes you get the bear and sometimes the bear gets you!

:mmph:

The force was with you in those areas. I assure you my forces will be prepared for any rebel uprisings in the future. :attention

i had 14 blocks between okafor and ak47, wewt finally some production

and its about time too

I am fixing to put together a JD type format with my Fantasy Team. I will be rebuilding my team, because I have two many of the same players. I will atempt to hold on to James, Bosh and Maggette. However, no one is safe. There are great names on the block like Carter, Rahim (sp?) Gerald Wallace, Boozer Crawford etc.

***So lets make a deal

i gave into picking him up now rather than just looking at his name and hoping for him later. it could either kill my season or be just the thing to put me over the top come playoffs

i gave into picking him up now rather than just looking at his name and hoping for him later. it could either kill my season or be just the thing to put me over the top come playoffs

It's a gamble. I started to take it, but I'm really glad I cut bait and backed out. I think if it was a money league I would have gambled. But I was thinking I'll most likely make the top bracket of the playoffs with a decent seed anyhow, I'll lose to Webz anyhow, lol (even with Amare), so I may as well have fun and enjoy the next 8 weeks or more with a full roster. Then there is always the question of whether he will return on time and in what condition.

But I don't think it's a bad gamble to take. Just depends on what you want. It could result in the championship if you can get in the top bracket of the playoffs (top 6 teams...with the top 2 getting byes) without a full roster and Amare comes back strong.

@all, it's too early to take Amare. You are wasting a roster spot and losing potential wins NOW. This is not a Win Now Club mentality!

@Pastor, I'm thinking about a deal with you, but Pachulia is my one untradeable player. Maybe Baron Davis too. I want to keep the guys I enjoy following even if it costs me wins...

I wouldn't touch Amare this early even with someone else's roster. I'm not that mean.

That's a long time (and potentially an entire season) to hold onto a dead roster spot for. Especially with so many spots that earn points each night.

i gave up on steven hunter because the last 5 games 0 points and only 5 rebounds while killing my fg% in the process so why not make the move it might help me now as much as later his blocks did not justify keeping him and his minutes have been down as well so i think i will risk losing practically nothing in return for amare. besides that when we drafted he was#1 on my list and did not get him well hes mine now and its a risk i will take

Fair enough man, good luck.

??? Actually, he was originally taken in the 8th round of the draft by MBabb's Ballers.

(You can view the draft results by clicking on "all league tools" on our main league page and then clicking on "view draft)"

i had him pre ranked as my #1 i thought oh well

The Empire Struck Back but the Tato-Mashers aren't ready to change their name to "Slip Got Tater-fried." I am sure that tonight we will REBOUND back into contention, BLOCK Darth from regaining the lead, and STEAL a victory from the jaws of defeat.

My team will chuck bricks just to make things interesting for you. :eyebrows:

Poor poor delusional Slippy. Did you bump your head when you slipped on some of that sweat streaming off of Big Ben's forehead when he stepped up to the line.

Actually, not to be foul, but Big Ben IS just about leading your boys in free throw percentage. I thought I'd never see the day that would happen. How can an entire squad of "All Stars" average 56% from the line? :pound:

Are you looking through Ben's Rose colored "goggles" to see a possible victory for your boys? Let me assist you by giving you a few pointers(maybe 3 points)about why I shall be victorious!


3 points why Tater wins:


(1) Did you ever see the movie attack of the killer tomatoes? Well, they were gonna use potatoes but it was too scary for the little kids.

(2)It rarely snows where I am so we just have potato fights in the winter. You've probably never thrown a potato in your life. (If you did it would miss the target...kinda like those free throws). :brick:


(3) :flame:Because my boys (Wade and Arenas) are gonna catch fire tonight.


I'm a reasonable guy. If you surrender UNCONDITIONALLY right now, I'll generously let you have 3 categories.

Yes, I know that is far too generous of me, but I'm that kind of magnanimous guy. :humble:


:bored: It's gonna be a bummer when our teams are done playing this week. This smack talk is great fun!!!!!!!!


It's coming down to field goal percentage in the end.
I'm not even the least bit worried about losing. :lie:

Ben + gogs > Tater Tots.

Darth who will you be rooting for? Nicioni? Hinrich? I'll be rooting for the MAN folks want to package with "the Other Guy" to get KG. The heart and Soul of Blue Collar, Back to Work, This is How We Do, Pistons BasketBall.

Tonight he's backed up by AK-I'm gonna get more blocks than your whole team-47 and Dwight "Much better than Darko" Howard.

And Don't Worry, I'll keep on trashing your team after this week:eyebrows:

Good Luck with Kwame Brown. Hopefully Kwame will come around for you. He didn't for me. Better opportunity than Dyess right now tho.

I really want to pick up Dice or Arroyo just so I have a Piston on my squad, but if I do that I may as well have kept Amare because they don't get much more burn than he does. :ohwell:

Maybe if Darko gets a bucket tonight I'll pick him up just so I can play him against Slippy this weekend and aggravate him.:heh: Oh, wait... Hey Slippy, does it count as a blocked shot for Darko when the rim blocks HIM? They have to credit that to someone. :D

Darth...great game this week. And a fun time too. I think my guys just petered out in the end. Thanks for the david wesley tip. He did the best of my lineup. I suppose its pretty sad when your FA outshines your A players.

Slippy I talked to KB and he said you were just not a very nice man and he didn't feel warm inside on your team. So we will see.

I am wanting to move Jamal Crawford and PJ Brown for a shotblocker or good rebounder, any offers?

That was a lot of fun Slippy. Plus, it was so close that two categories (turnovers and assists) were literally decided by the last guy playing Sunday night. We each took one. It doesn't get any better than that! We beat each other up pretty good this week! lol.

:crutch:<-------- Tater Slippy------->:crutch:


Thanks for all the laughs with the smack talk and name changes (like "Slippys Tater Mashas").

Oh well, I guess it's time to go back to my regular Darth Tater avatar until our next battle.

Ok looking for a trade involving Crawford with one of the following.... Carter, Maggette . I will now begin to field offers for Lebron. Must be a great Rebounder or Assist package.

The only reason I signed up for this whole fantasy basketball nonsense was for the trash talking. I have yet to win a match, which has severely limited my ability to come up with snappy comments. Except for my team, that is.:doh:

Watch out if I ever win one, though. You guys will never hear the end of it!

Slippy I talked to KB and he said you were just not a very nice man and he didn't feel warm inside on your team. So we will see.

KB came up to me and said "I just VANT to PLay." I said Kwame, I guarantee you'll get PT this game and then I played him 1 minute and clomplained about his stats. Then I cut him.

I wish i could offer you a fair deal but I don't have enough go to guys to make a move

:hail: Pastor. I only ask that you be merciful and not beat me to death with Kwame Brown.

Okafor Out.
Calderon Out
Kirilenko day to day
Stephen Jackson day to day

I have to rely on mike miller and Desmond mason. :doh:

Bottom of the league here I come!

LOL. Oh quit that groveling. Not only is it undignified but every time you bend forward your official DMC firemans hat falls off your head. :laugh:

Where's Himat?

Both pulling out all the big guns tonight. Just about Every guy on my roster has a game. I pity Himats Team. Going to get crushed like a bug.

Bottom of the league here I come!

Thats cool. I've been keeping it nice down here.

I'm not worried, though. My team is built for the playoffs.
:P

I have and I am currently dealing with injuries. All year I have had 3-5 guys miss games during week. This week it is Boozer (always) Maggette (hopefully back next game) Zo (cause he plays for the devil)

However, you do have some big guns out. I just hope they take week off to recover. *****I am surprised there are no Vince Carter offers. Another solid night. He has been on a tear lately Carter scored 35 points and added nine assists and seven rebounds

VETO THAT TRADE

Pastor Flournoy
L. James
J. Crawford
K. Brown

Tater Tots
A. Miller
K. Hinrich
J. Przybilla

Are you frikkin' kidding me? And to think some goombahs thought I was crazy considering a trade of Nash for Richardson. At least their stat output is in the same planetary system.

Save Pastor Flournoy from himself.

Its lopsided. I'll listen to reasonings from both teams.

LOL.

(1) I was not the one who proposed the terms of the trade.

(2)At least I wasn't doing the trade under the guise of some magnanimous act of Charity like some "goombahs."

(3) I think if you look past the "big name" of LeBron and look at the numbers you will see that Pastor is gaining a ton of assists as well as a Center who is capable of really nice numbers (blocks & rebounds).

(4) Kwame is garbage and I would drop him immediately. Crawford is ok, but I may as well give up the assist category losing the guys I would lose. I'd gain in points, but I win that category anyhow more often than not. It also puts me in a position where one injury kills me.

(5) Pastor's team is currently doing so-so. He gains 2 very good guards and a decent Center with the potential to be very good at the price of one stud. The man isn't stupid and I feel like "save Pastor from himself" is condescending. I'm sure he looked at the numbers and potential benefits and harm to his team.

(6) I honestly had doubts about doing the trade. My team is doing well. I just couldn't pass up on the "LeBron name". The trade possibly could have actually hurt me more than helped me, and in fact a close friend who is quite knowledgable in these matters and whose judgement I trust told me I may have been "ripped off". I was hoping it would help, but wasn't sure.

(7) You guys need to chill. I have no problems with a veto. If Pastor and I inadvertantly compromised the integrity of the league or have caused a perceived or actual potential imbalance then veto it. But I do think it's funny that the same people who are "threatening" to drop all of their players if the trade goes through are the same people who offered me a late 15th round backup player for an early 3rd round top guard before the season even began. (I was told not to be offended because we are all "newbies" at this and don't realize the value of our players...does that apply to me too or just some people?)

(8) Seriously, I just want to have fun. If everyone is upset then it's not fun for anyone. Veto the trade, it's cool. :cool: Personally, I would only veto a trade if it was done in bad faith (i.e. one member was intentionally trying to help another team at the expense of his own team). But I truly like my team as it is. I have no problem continuing to shoot for second or third place.

As a regular recipient of my magnanimity, you're really in no position to throw stones.

But then maybe you have a point. No sense in compiling the stats at 3am in the morning since my charity is false. I can find better uses for my time.

Whoa!

The reference I made regarding "magnanimity" only pertained to your comment regarding the Jason Kidd trade. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear and you took that out of context.

I certainly did not intend to belittle any efforts you have made to create and maintain this forum. I, and many others, know and greatly appreciate that you have been extremely generous in donating your time, effort, and finances to make this forum a class operation.

Before my trade got the veto I should have been heard. I realize my team is average at best. If it was a video game we would be great. However, FB is not the same. I decided a gameplan to scrap trying to win the points section and go after other areas. My assist went way up with trade, Rebounds up, Blocks up, steals up. I took 2 duds off my roster and put 3 good players on it. I have chose a plan to try to win most series 6-3.

Maybe y'all need to look at JD's plan a little better. This is a huge joke and a "Thorn" type move. I suggest you rethink it or I will be forced to ask for an
Arbitration hearing.

In fact many of these posters should offer me an apology. This is a great plan.

did you also notice while pulling my stats up it also gave me another (2.5-3.0 BPG) Shot blocker. Zo is my only shot blocker and his minutes will be reduced greatly now that shaq is back.

If these guys want this trade. I think it should go though. I believe it was vetoed before we heard from all sides.

Unless I am mistaken, the initial goal of the veto was to prevent a team from tanking their season and stocking another team. Given the reasonings for the trade, I believe that that wasn't the intent.

We should not govern the abilities of the GM's to make savy/stupid trades.
Is it possible to override the veto?

If these guys want this trade. I think it should go though. I believe it was vetoed before we heard from all sides.
I agree completely, and offered the Pastor my apologies. Hopefully he accepts.

This deal should be set up again. I am sure it will go through.

I think you would have seen it was a JD type move. Seend Stack packing (OK LBJ is better then stack) Me and Darktator both believe it was a good try but will backoff so if my plan only looks good on paper, he want catch the wrath.

So once again LBJ is on the market as well as Vince Carter. Which ever one I trade will need to be packaged with some of my streaky shooters like Crawford, Claxton, James etc. and will also include Kwame Brown. I am looking to increase Assist, Rebounds, Blocks or steals. Looking to be great in 5 -6 areas instead of good in all.

***Oh yeah, no one can stay mad at Microwave long. He delivered us from detroitnews.com and brought us pistonsforum.com and I shall never return.

I thought you got over with the trade. If you jetissoned trying to go after points (which is what I figured), I think you had a really effective strategy with that trade. I've deployed similar strategies with a high degree of success. Often times, people are more allured by the sexy pickups Lebron, KG, etc... and forget that this game is really about the numbers. Assists men are hard to come by....going up roughly 14 assists a game is nothing to sneeze at. Efficient shot blockers are even more of a rarity.

***Oh yeah, no one can stay mad at Microwave long. He delivered us from detroitnews.com and brought us pistonsforum.com and I shall never return.

Micro = Moses :)

Plan doesn't work all the time or everyone would use it. They key I believe will be finding consistency. However, I am at the place I can bounce back and forth from 6-12 or I can take a risk and make run for title.

i think you might have me this week linwood. this week is a bit out of the ordinary with the whole christmas thing, and i only have 2 days of games left. you've got 4 guys playing on sunday to my none. not to mention my guys had a poor start to the week.

i'm prepared for the loss, but i'm not prepared for 8-1! :mad:

still, its no time to panic.

on the current issue at hand, it does look lopsided, but crawford and brown are basically junk. check their stats. i would much rather have 3 guys who can contribute rather than 1 star. i've been pondering some trades and no matter which way you slice it, you can only play 1 guy in 1 position at 1 time.

I disagree.

Most folks don't use it because they are partial to the sexy categories like 3 pointers and points scored. We live in an offense-driven society. When following players, cheering for your player to make a basket versus making a steal or dealing out an assist can be alot more satisfying..but that doesn't take away from its effectiveness.

The obvious advantage to taking this approach is because simply put... most people don't focus on the other categories as much. This makes it easier to pick up free agents that fit into your strategy because you are not competing with as many owners to build your teams targeted categories.

A hustle team built on steals, rebounds, low turnovers, blocks, field goal pct, and free throw pct. can be a deadly combination. And most GM's won't even see it coming. ;)

i think you might have me this week linwood.

i'm prepared for the loss, but i'm not prepared for 8-1! :mad:




LOL. Classic David and Goliath!

Go Linwood !!!!!!!!!!:whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

I figured that the deal would be backed out of by one party or the other, although the Pastor's strategy is sound. My argument is that LeBron is such a good all around stats contributor, and every team needs an anchor. I was lucky to start the season with 4 (Kidd, Nowitski, Davis, and Richardson).

You can drop a guy like Brown and find someone to contribute today. Heck, you might even find someone like me who will take a chance on Kwame. Something about the name sounds too much like Quan, which says show me the money. Crawford can be replaced just as easily. There is no profit in holding non-starters. Much better to grab guys who get starting jobs due to injuries to other players and keep rotating to the hot man.

I just sent the Pastor a trade offer that should shake things up. He might be the next guy to take webz and Darth Tater down after this.

And I'm not tanking my season by some of these trades. I just want the big boys to get fat and happy so I can sneak up on them ninja style. Nothing worse than an ambush.

@Linwood, you're one player away from the top. Hit me up after I am done dealing with Pastor.

@Motown - Moses?? I'm too flawed for that noble analogy.

Where's Himat?

Both pulling out all the big guns tonight. Just about Every guy on my roster has a game. I pity Himats Team. Going to get crushed like a bug.

sure about that? yesterday you had more players playing, but today i have the edge. man if kobe played another quarter he would of had at least 70 for me, (he had 62 before he was benched in the 4th).

catch me if you can max:bolt:

I will trade for Lebran. Thats a stats bonanza there.

Funny - I thought I was getting a steal when I picked up Joe Smith from waivers until I realized he was out 6-8 weeks.

wow man linwood is up 8-1 on webz. me micro, and darth couln't stop his team. maybe you'll make a run with shaq back to the top of the standings. don't get too hopeful i was up too, but his team is too deep the second one of my super stars didn't play for a day i was done.

i drafted him, but i knew that he has been a bust in the nba so i got someone else for him, but i don't remember who.

i'm not too worried because as i said, this isn't a usual week. but i will give my props to linwood. he has had some injuries to deal with and should be a force the rest of the way.

I figured that the deal would be backed out of by one party or the other
I don't think it is fair to say that "one party backed out". The trade was vetoed by the commissioner of our league (Micro) at the request of some members. Both Pastor and I received notice from Yahoo that the trade was null and void because it was vetoed by the league.

At that point, after all of the fuss made over the trade, I could not in good consciousness go through with the deal when the league agreed to allow it to go through if we were to again make the deal.

If for some reason Pastor's team was hurt by the deal and my team became stronger, I believe there would have been no end to the "I told you so"s" and "Darth ripped him off...we tried to stop him." It just isn't worth it.

Had the deal worked in Pastors benefit and my team was hurt by it, I would never hear the end of it. This would not have been the case if the league did not void the trade before listening to us and considering what we had to say.

In my honest opinion it was a very good trade because I think it would have been beneficial for both teams. I actually think I was taking the greater
