Draft Thread - 14-team H2H keeper

[realsniper09]

I think there should be a limit on transactions otherwise you can just keep adding a player and then dropping them after they play one game.

Yeah, fair enough. I was thinking the same thing but I don't think he's streaming.

I'm going to change waiver time from 1 day to 3 days first of all, and that should negate things seeing the wire is pretty thin. Also gives those with higher waivers a bigger advantage seeing they don't make as many chances.

Good start to the season anyhow. Hate to say it, but anyone playing BucksBoy should be in for a free ride in everything but TO's this season...

 

[Osmodiar]

so you didnt get anyone to take over bucksboys team?

or is it possible?

I have no problem with lengthening the waiver time, nor restricting moves, whatever.
I know I had lot of moves this week, but;
- Had several players that just sucked big time (see: Barnes, Matt or Outlaw, Travis)
- Have Brand (injured) and Conley (rookie) inactive and can't drop either (i.e. waiting for the IL)
- Even with all my moves, Kenny still had a 6 games played advantage (44-38).

So basically, I was really scrambling this week.

Mate - I think your moves have been fine.

I think Kenny is just trying to head off a future problem.

Leave Bucks Boy as the official bye - then I don't need to worry about last place.

I didn't mention any names when I posted. I just think we need a limit on number of transactions just so there is some sort of understanding/ group concensus on how many moves is reasonable.

Normally I think 30-40 is a good amount but since we have already started, about 50??

I know mate - but I did have the most moves and so I thought it best to clear the air, so to speak.

I don't really mind what the number is - this is my first H2H for a while (generally stick to roto), so those with more experience at H2H should make the call.

All housekeeping aside, let's hope the Hibachi doesn't singlehandedly cost me the FG cat for a second straight week.

Well I think since we have started, 50 moves is good.

I'm not particularly concerned about how many moves are made. If a team sees someone on the wire they think can help then long-term, I feel they should be able to pick them up without restrictions.

What I don't want though is streaming, which I don't think will happen, which is why I haven't put a restriction. Normally moves will butter down after the first few weeks though.

It's also cool to have a 'group consensus' on how many moves each team shall have, and 50 is not bad. I don't really want those with injuries to be disadvantaged because it will cost them '1 add' and then another '1 drop', so 2 instead of one, another reason I don't want to implement a restriction.

However, during the playoffs, there'll be some kind of restriction to stop constant drop/adds.

 

[Moo]

I am putting Za Za Pachulia on the injured list and will let you know who I bump on.

Also I am not replacing Stephen Jackson ...just to set a precedent anyone who is suspended (rather than injured) should not be placed on the list IMHO.

Eddie House in.

 

[Souup]

Am going to put Nene on the injury list myself

Will let you know who i will be picking up

 

[mdc]

He has to miss 5 games before he can be put on the IL

 

[Gridlock'd]

Oden to IL.

Antonio Mcdyess to replace on list.

 

[Souup]

He has to miss 5 games before he can be put on the IL

Yeah, thats why i'll wait before i'll announce my replacement

 

[realsniper09]

Hey guys,

Can those who have started adding players just post a quick short note on the league message board as well, like Teams Code Redd and Herbie have done... "Brand to IL" and "Bibby to IL" is very clear!!!

So Moo and gridlocked. It'll be much easier to keep track of whose's on, and when your taking them off, just post a message in the same thread stating so.

Thanks.

 

[Osmodiar]

wow herbie went crazy today

 

[mdc]

What an annoying loss. FG .449 - .451, FT .768 - .772, BLKS 21 - 23

Went down 5-4. The gimp formerly known as Hibachi is killing me.

 

[justthedukes]

Are you code redd MDC? ahah I was just about to post the same thing, lucky win for me. but still I had Marshall, redick, hughes and harpring out for most if not all the games this week. (so combining I wouldave got 20 points more).

Yeah, that's me. I don't think points would have been much of a difference since I had that by a wide margin, but it might have swung rebounds in your favour.

I was going to sit Arenas since points and assists were already decided, but figured he could win me the FT cat, and help in the steals. He responded with an 8-for-12 at the line today. I make more than that!

Lewis having a 1-for-gazillion shooting night the previous game didn't help much either.

The following week, and a we have ourselves a replay. Lost 5-4, with really close losses in 3 cats whilst pretty much dominating the ones I won

FT .777 - .781, STLS 35 - 37, TO 84 - 82

What a shocking start

Well I lost to the Bandits by one block!!

Thems the breaks in head to head. At least I'm not doing as crap as I am in the other keeper league.

 

[Osmodiar]

I am happy atm, all my cats are pretty healthy. I just wish golden state would keep playing Monta Ellis instead of giving minutes to hasabicky or whatever his name is.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Least the Cellar Dwellers have moved off the bottom

 

[Gridlock'd]

Im happy with how my team is travelling at the moment, with Oden and Foye down, still sitting in second spot.

Mainly thanks to the ridiculous form of Bron Bron.

 

[Osmodiar]

iggy thump might be about to give me a thumping. ah well, lebron might not play and might save me

 

[raffrox]

The Wienerschnitzels move to within 3 cats of first place and the team I was least happy with after the draft is most probably my best.
