Gobias Ind.: Apr 5, 2007; If your girlfriend says hey to me that's our girlfriend now idc

I couldn't actually remember most of my picks so thanks for the spreadsheet. Feel like I've got a decent shot - got Whiteside to Dallas and Rondo to the Nets which seem like good shots now.

I just put all the guys I either want or heard we might sign.

Also if I wasn't sure about a guy that most people don't want I just put the Kings or Knicks.

I'm tied with Ice Phoenix who is banking on KD coming to Minnesota, but as long as I stay ahead of Dokmo I am pretty happy.

DAY TWO UPDATE

SPREADSHEET LINK

Signings

Joakim Noah to the Knicks - 22 correct, 2 points
Kent Bazemore to the Hawks - 10 correct, 1 point
Luol Deng to the Lakers - 1 correct (Dokmo), 2 points
Bismack Biyombo to the Magic - 0 correct
Ryan Anderson to the Rockets, 8 correct, 2 points
Al Hordford to the Celtics - 7 correct, 2 points

*WILDCARD ALERT*

Matthew Dellavedova to the Bucks - 2 correct wildcards (TheSean, Dexo), 5 points

Gnoma predicted 13 of the 25 players listed to sign for the Lakers, but not Luol Deng who he had to the Raptors. Oops.

Leaderboard

We have a clear leader now in xbilkis, but it's still all to play for. Seven of the players we guessed are still to sign and a big wildcard signing for one of the chasing pack could help swing it even more.

Keep your head up my man, nobody has officially signed anywhere yet - there's still a great chance all these guys change their minds before the actual signing date and decide to do the right thing and sign with the Raptors. You guys will all be sorry for lmao'ing at me then! :argh:

DAY 3 UPDATE

Spreadsheet link

Signings

Kevin Shookrant signed for the Warriors - 0 correct
Harrison Barnes signed for the Mavericks - 3 correct (Douche4Sale, Papes, Blind Pineapple), 2 points
Pau Gasol signed for the Spurs - 11 correct, 2 points
Rajon Rondo signed for the Bulls - 3 correct (Papes, zapplez, Brogeoisie), 2 points

Only three players left to sign - Dirk, Ezeli and JR Smith

Leaderboard

So after some quick calculations I think a couple of people can catch and tie xbilkis, but the only person who can beat his score is zapplez who will win if Kobe comes out of retirement to play for the Knicks and either Dirk signs for the Hawks or Ezeli signs for the Nets.

Hey if Waiters signs for the Sixers and Ezeli goes to the Rockets you can still finish in the top 5!

I personally thought I'd finish higher than last place. Seriously Masai!? You couldn't at least sign Durant!? And then send Derozan to Sacramento (or the sun, wherever). That would have gotten me some points and moved me up to the low 30's at least. drat, what a lovely GM :argh:

Since the last update:

Dirk resigned for the Mavs - 37 correct
Ezeli signed for Portland - 0 correct

Just JR Smith left to resign now

But in any case no-one now can catch our winner xbilkis.

That's pending a few people's wildcard guesses including several who chose Waiters to someone. But none of them could catch xbilkis at the top, especially since almost everyone picked JR to resign with Cleveland.

Xbilkis if you wish me to send you your 'wonderful' prize then please PM me your address.
