Damn you Kenny I was hoping Nazr would last til at least the next round.

I was going to take Nazr with the next pick (or otherwise trade the pick to Kenny who would have taken him). I was tossing up between the 2, then Showtime stepped in with a trade for the pick above me so rendered that scenario void.

 

[Kenny_01]

Nazr is a man in hot demand these days.

I don't think I'll be that bad. I have picked up quite a lot of players who should have much better seasons next year. McGrady, West, Bogut, Magloire and Randolph especially. If I'm already first in rebounds, I'm only going to get stronger with thise big players expected to get more boards this season.

 

[Colonel Matrix]

spreadsheets.. pfft

 

[Kenny_01]

Yeah I got Nazr who had dud stats last season. Go Nazr!!

no no colonel, i think speadsheets show a very objective and truthful view

It's interesting because I did a similar spreadsheet last year and I was dominating in all catergories, yet I lost.

 

[voodoo_86]

Spreadsheets are only based on the previous year, so while they're an average indication of where you might be good at, they obviously don't predict the future.

On another note - who comes on this board when its their pick and doesn't take their pick? Grrr.

 

[X_box_X]

Never actually realised it was my pick. There is nothing left anyway.

 

[Kenny_01]

Guys, I am thinking of changing max moves to 30 so it helps eliminate hit and miss grabbing of FAs and then dumping them 2 games later. Does anyone have a problem with this?

 

[voodoo_86]

Sounds fair to me, and i'm historically a big culprit of this

 

[Falchoon]

how many weeks are there?

make it an average of 1 per week.

 

[Kenny_01]

21 weeks plus finals I think.

Plus a couple of weeks to play around with roster before finals start.

30 is good.

 

[Colonel Matrix]

Just an update

 

[Borgsta]

haha he missed the dunk!

 

[Falchoon]

haha he missed the dunk!

Matrix has instructed Amare to do everything he possibly can to pad the rebound count!!

 

[voodoo_86]

He looks demonic.. what a beast.

Damn these picks are flying.. almost draft over.

10/17 Max Moves changed from '50' to '30'

***IMPORTANT***

I made a mistake and for some reason PJ Brown and Sean May didn't get assigned to their managers.

Can hans moleman please pick up PJ Brown when he becomes a FA in 24 hours and Falchoon pick up Sean May. I will then edit your transaction numbers so they are back at 0.

All other managers have been locked from adding/dropping players until May and Brown have been picked up. Then everyone will be free to add and drop players as they like. Remember you only get 30 transactions.

 

[voodoo_86]

156 picks in about 24 days.. that's a pretty damn good effort. 6 and a half picks a day. Top work guys, good luck for the season.

 

[DBAH0]

Just waiting for Falchoon's final spreadsheet, and Hans' final verdict on all of our picks and predictions now.

I noticed I had a waiver request for PJ Brown, so I cancelled that (so that the waiver priorities won't be changed) - Falc should do the same with Sean May.

Like you said I'll just pick Brown when he becomes a FA.

Damnit I opened this thread hoping to see the next draft round review

Take it as a compliment mate rather than me being an impatient bitch haha, but its probably a bit of both
