I think Barkley had the biggest proportional rear end in the NBA by far. Thing is like a mini fridge.

I got drunk and bought espn insider because I thought it would have SOMETHING only to wake up this morning to remember that nba fantasy is the red headed stepchild of nerd sports games.

Automatic dude I know it sucks but prioritizing a list for the auto does help it not be completely idiotic.

it's okay, I auto drafted Jameer Nelson. I doubt I would've made the exact same choices but the default auto draft is still pretty okay.
Should've customized my list but I was too lazy plus most of the fun I have in fantasy is waiver wire stuff. I'll just assemble a skeleton crew to surround KD. Already autodrafted Reggie Jackson apparently so that's a start. :mrapig:

I think we should do the traditional 9 category H2H league. I should be available to draft most nights and on Saturday afternoons.

I could do a Monday/Wednesday night draft, otherwise the weekend is best. But I'll live with anything - even making a list or just trying to check in on my phone will work.

Hey for second league a lot of invites were ignored. Come on dudes.


Also sent invites to all people who requested them via PM.

Draft Monday night? 5:30 PST?


With the 3 requests out and the 3 PMs and the 3 in the league, I can get 3 real-life dudes and make it 12 easy.


Also made the settings friendly:
H2H standard scoring
FA after draft (because the season starts the next day)
Waivers, rolling continuously
Roster changes active that day
10 max player acquisitions (default is 4)
FG% and FT% instead of FGM/FGA & FTM/FTA

I'm pretty sure like 90% of my roster is injured pre-opener :lol:. What's with all these injuries.
It'd be way more fun to just dump some of these dudes and roll with weekly waiver wire hot picks but then I'd totally gently caress up the league by freeing up some of these dudes.

sorry about that I read that email after joining another yahoo league and for some reason I thought it was the same league.

Let the burning of pants commence. These things drive me nuts.



How much will KLove's and Lebron's stats drop this year? I'm in a head to head points league where Love was #1 overall in points last year, putting up an average of 66 per game. We get bonuses for 3pts made (+3) and double doubles (+5), so he was a beast. I drafted for Best Player Available on my board for every round, so I ended up with an extremely PF/C heavy team.

My team:
SF - Lebron James
PF - Kevin Love
PF - David Lee
C - Nerlens Noel
G - Russell Westbrook
G - Gordon Hayward
G - JR Smith
F- Ryan Anderson
UTIL - Nikola Pekovic
UTIL - Kelly Olynyk
UTIL - Rodney Stuckey
Bench:
KJ McDaniels, Henry Sims, Mason Plumlee, Andrea Bargnani

Would a Love for Harden trade be worth it? Harden was 7th overall last season in my league (57 points per game).
