You know how we do...

I'll put together some nonsensical rankings and use the site rankings or something and you all can do yours and we'll get the SportsNation poll for the first post of the season.

For clarity on the 13th roster spot: It replaces our IR rule. There will be no policing of said spot. Stash or hold for injury as you see fit.

*I looked at last year's rankings post and this is where I re-posted the updated (at the time) IR rule so it seems like this was probably the best place to post the updated 13th roster spot rule as well. Look at that, consistency!

____________

How does this work exactly?

<---https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DL9AVTQ

You can use the 13th roster spot "how you see fit"

You want to pick up and stash a player...have at it.

You want to leave it open for long term injuries because your roster is full of injury risks...go for it.

You don't want to use it at all and feel real men only use 12...your call.

As.you.see.fit.

____________

You act like the rules are straight forward.

I didn't know if I added somebody do I have to send you an email from a source dictated by the board of Survivors that the player could be added. Then, record a video of me formally declaring that player a member of my team and upload it on YouTube and have to wait until I get 10 comments before that player is useable.

There's a whole sh*tstorm about this very thing being discussed in the second draft post.

Where I'm stating that you all ignore information when I put it in multiple places for you to read and then find if you forget and when I get a small 'tude because you ask me for the 3rd, 4th and 5th time, y'all all "OMG, why you so aggy?"

Shawn is calling for my head right now due to it.

I answered your question with as little 'tude as I possibly could, but know it's because you didn't read a post you actually responded to a thread in:

PLEASE REPLY WITH APPROPRIATE LEVELS OF SNARK AND/OR OUTRAGE.

1. Cenario

Strengths: Everything. Monster squad. Studs. Depth. You name it.
Weaknesses: Forward and center health... but really, if they all play, stone cold lock for #1 imo.

2. Theo

Stengths: Guards-- that Giannis/Rondo is a mean 1-2 punch, and I expect Smart to improve his efficiency this year. Smart rookie pickups, smart reach for Duval County's 2015-16 star Jokic.
Weaknesses: his team isn't Cenario's.

3. Ern

Strengths: Upside. Davis. Embiid. Portis. Possible efficiency bounce backs for Howard and Jones. Front court could win games by itself.
Weaknesses: outside of the health concerns with several of the above mentioned, the final thirty minutes of guard play is currently a question mark.

4. Ryan

Strengths: Balance, balance, balance. Strong across the board. KAT is a monster.
Weaknesses: if I had to pick one, I'd say that I'm not expecting Kemba to replicate his monster leap in FPPM from last year, so the top of the guard play may have limited stud power compared to some other teams... but he makes up for it in balance, so I'm being nitpicky.

5. Boogs

Strengths: yawn, another boringly good Boogs team. Ho hum.
Weaknesses: not as much upside as the teams above him. Just another boringly good team.

6. Longo

Strengths: Drummond + upside. My forwards and some of my guards are on their way up.
Weaknesses: I've had Lowry as my second guard for two years now... don't love him as my first, but the draft didn't really allow me to go a different direction. I also need my BitTorrent-ass frontline to get minutes-- I don't want another John Henson situation.

7. LABeat

Strengths: Monster backcourt. Contends for league's best.
Weaknesses: ... to be honest, I don't even want to analyze this team. I knew I'd put him one behind me before I even looked at who he had.

8. TRBO

Strengths: Tough top-two guards. Lots of youth/upside.
Weaknesses: as mentioned in the other post, really needs Tyreke Evans back to fully take off, otherwise those last 30ish minutes or so look pretty dire. I don't expect him back for a while-- if he comes back sooner, bump this team up a couple spots.

9. AB

Strengths: you motherfuckers let Curry slip into his hands, and I'm still mad about it. Forwards are also a beastly set.
Weaknesses: Still drafts Derrick Rose. I don't love the guard minutes after Curry.

10. TJT

Strengths: guys, I'll be honest, I don't really want to write more of these. I have to run to Costco. This is a fine team. Not an enormous amount of upside.

11. Murf

Strengths: Good studs on top. I like the guard depth.
Weaknesses: Forwards after Aldridge look blah.

12. Ceej

Strengths: Green and Jordan, duh. Also took Kyle O'Quinn away from me. Props.
Weaknesses: Don't love the guards.

13. Magilla

Strengths: SECOND ROUND PLUMDOGG!!!
Weaknesses: could've had Westbrook on this team. And this coming from the guy who always traded up just to get Chris Paul.

14. Shawn

Strengths: writing "Commissioner Step Down" manifestos
Weaknesses: A lot of forward minutes going to unproven commodities. Guards behind Leonard will be dire til Reggie returns.

15. SoulHonky

Strengths: better than the other Rookie team
Weaknesses: Rookie team

16. Hood

Strengths: Kevin Durant is on this team.
Weaknesses: Rookier of the Rookie teams

Mild regret taking Howard over Teague as I knew I could find 1.2+ centers a few rounds later. Will be moot if Dwight can return to 1.4+. I also figured Dame/Ky will have alot of nights where they combine for 70-80 minutes, making my third guard a bit less important and was happy to handcuff Ky with Felder. Middleton has been pretty consistent the past two years, I'll gladly take .95 in big minutes there. Bayless is a wild card, but could potentially be Ishish if he gets healthy.

You ranked me 9th...how is me getting Curry any threat to anyone? lol It was gonna be Curry or Brow (both were still on the board) and I didn't wanna get burned by a injury riddled season (though I probably will anyway).

The Rose thing was a contingency pick. I had several guards ahead of him and they were all taken. I wasn't on the site when the picks came up so couldn't adjust. Hopefully he does 1.00+ *Crosses fingers*

____________

someone asked in the draft post so heres an abridged version.

Sometime in the early 2000s I was playing in a Public Yahoo Football League and was asking about basketball leagues. I had been playing yahoo basketball leagues but found something missing with all those formats.

Some guy, I dont even remember who, suggested I check out .ws because of the points based scoring.

I took a look at it and thought of all the possibilities. What I hated about the Yahoo format was lack of "realistic-ness". So my first priority was to try to create a league that would mimic the NBA as much as possible in terms of realism, gameplay and balance.

As most of you know, our scoring isnt standard WS scoring. Theyve since created a custom scoring ruleset which is similar to ours, but in the early days it wasnt that way.

So with realism, gameplay, and balance in mind I started playing with ideas on how to weigh things. I wanted rebounds and assists to be as important as points, and i wanted defensive stuff to matter too. I remember chatting with Theo (back then he was my defacto guy for anything math related) and Boogs (back then he was my defacto guy for anything that needed ironing out) back and forth to create the right system. We played with different point values and plugged in different stats.

One of the things I caught early on is if we didnt weigh rebs and assists higher, guys like Kobe would rule the league because of all the points scored. Its funny because that "Kobe rule" if you will had the unintended consequence of creating one of the biggest holes we have in our scoring (which rookie Mr Hood will soon understand): the Ray Allen black hole. Essentially its made elite scorers/players in the league who are key to their real teams almost unrosterable because they dont do enough other stuff in their minutes played
Also see
Redd, Michael
Martin, kevin
Thompson, Klay

I guess that gives some more background on why ive been pressed to make that change over the years. Cause it goes against the spirit of how I personally designed and envisioned the scoring.


I remember in our early days we had position vote nominations. I remember being in vegas with my real life boys and being really caught up in this draft. I remember working on a list of position changes while in Vegas and drafting.


Im actually surprised this league caught steam here. i dont remember all the details, would be great to find the post if it exists.

I remember posting and recruiting people hard to play. people who posted a lot about basketball or would be characters. Thinking of how those post usually go now, and how reluctant people are to try a new thing, Its crazy to think its become the most popular league on this board. The reason it got its corny survivor name was in that first year some people signed up and were unresponsive. As we got closer to the draft I got cold feet. If they werent responsive now, would they be around to actually draft? If not, that could ruin our league. Therefore I just started cutting people and recruiting new ones to make sure the league was as active as possible.

I remember I was specifically recruiting for personalities which is why at one point SPM was a member of this league with Ba. lol

We found a good core of OG guys and have been able to roll since.

Who are the originals still here

Me
Theo
Boogs
AB
Ern
Ceej
Soul Honky mightve been in season 1 lol now hes back

Weve lost some pretty good regulars along the way like Matty, Ba, Shelly twice, and KC but have also gained some good longstanding members like Cenario, RBO, TJT, beathustla and Magilla.

That first season even though it was for no money had controversy. I remember I made a trade that led to an uproar and Battle Royale. Since then we have some kind of battle royale melee every year.

At one point the league almost died because the site went down. Auragin and Theo really worked to help us stay afloat that season, doing a SHIT TON of manual work. That was the second biggest point in this league's history.


All in all like I said, its been fun and would be great if we could keep this alive.

Did that trade end up getting vetoed or no?

My "boy" polvitos hated it. he didnt understand all the math and decimals. Said it made everything too complicated. I had the same issue with that side league I ran last year. Like I said, I think a key to this league early on was getting the right guys I think Theo has had some success running leagues with his real life boys. One year he even did a league where you tried to draft worst possible players. Not 100% sure how that worked.

a) who were personalities, and fuck all else, wanted to beat the next dude so he could talk shit
b) guys who once they understood the nuance of the league scoring would really get into it
c) the personalities combined with wanting to beat the next guy resulted in a number of arguments over the years that have had the unintended consequence of keeping things fresh and passionate in the league.

Some of it was by design but a lot of it ended up being luck

Set turnovers, missed shots, fouls and technical to positive values. And set FGM, 3s, etc to negative values. Basically whoever can do the least amount of good stuff or most bad stuff with their minutes.

Salmons ended up being bad at his own league however.

My squad killed it. Telfair, Scals, Eddy Curry, Fortson, McCants, Dooling, Zoran Planinic, Brian Cardinal.

I was in this Yahoo public football league that became my staple football league for over a decade and the commish there was a major ass (think many times worse than Auragin) me and 2 of my boys played in it for over a decade til we finally had to quit.

Anyhow, the one thing that commissioner did that was cool and I brought to this league was write fake press conferences and storylines. Helped give the league character and was an added means of talking shit.

be about it or be without it

RIP GOATs

1. Theodelphia

I somehow always like Theo's squads. Giannis and Rondo are the potential for 2 1.4 guards. Nice F by committee and Jokic could repeat 1.5 in more minutes. Simmons could be another 1.2 forward also.

2. Coney Island

Huge potential for this squad. Frontcourt is a bunch of dudes with high upside but minute/injury concern. A couple of those guys pull through + Russy could mean big games.

3. Springfield

Dwight Embiid and AD...sheeeeit. Rest of the frontcourt is solid. Never was a huge ws fan of kyrie but he's fine as a 2nd guard with that powerful frontcourt. I would rather have Oladipo or Dragic tho.

4. Earthquake

Solid team top to bottom. Really good all around depth especially with the CFs. I like the gamble Gs you drafted as well. Should give you alot of options as the season goes on.

5. LA

Harden is gon pop off and might play the most minutes in the league. Conley and ET are good to round off the guards. Don't love the Centers but the CFs give you options.

6. Chi ESL

AB got fortunate with Zaza lasting. Millsap/Love/Zingis is probably the bes forwards in the league. Gonna need alot of G minutes at G behind Curry. I think Rose has a good year but will still miss games.

7. Duval County

Good Centers, Good forward by committee and some really good guards. A really solid team that can be better depending on Frazier and Mcconnell. Worst case scenario is struggles with F minutes.

8. Ex Detroit

Ceej is getting better at this. Centers are really strong...i don't love the forwards( I think Draymond drops some). I think Dragic and Oladipo will be near 1.2. Ceej loves Gordon Hayward who seems like he should be closer to 1.1 but usually winds up around 1.0.

9. Phila

Bogut and Aldrich will be high ppm guys but I don't see them getting 48 minutes...and i don't really like Miles. Don't know much about the young guys that TJ took flyers on. Maybe one of those hits tho.

10. Houston

I consistently rank Labeat teams low and he consistently outperforms my rankings lol. Per usual he picked alot of guys i personally don't like. Still a solid squad overall. I don't think jennings is gonna be that good as a backup in ny but if rose goes down, he could be looking at close to 1.2.

11. Stanley

Really good frontcourt. Dont like the backcourt after IT2 tho. Not sure if Wade can duplicate last season. George Hill will be a solid 3rd guard this year tho.

12. Cerritos

I like the backcourt but Reggie Jackson has 2 injuries already. Not a huge fan of this Forward by committee + your best players are 2 spurs. Ew.

13. Northeast

Magilla should be last for taking skipping Russy and Harden but alas, we have 2 new rookies lol. Optimizing his lineup gave me a headache. It wasn't a terrible draft looking at what he finished with but it coulda been so much better.

14. Skid Row

I thought Russ could breakout to 1.2 this year. Jrue is gonna be great whenever he gets back (if he gets back) Taj has been beasting in preaseason. I think PG steps back some with Teague there and there's about 5 dudes that should be on waivers.

15. Restown

The Centers and Aldridge are great. Bledsoe is a huge injury concern. Rest of the team is booty.

16. Oakland

Worst draft in the league...he's a rookie tho so that's expected.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

He did about 1.27 in 21 games. No clue what to expect from Oladipo. Dragic should come up for sure, I picked him for Ceej.

---------------------------------------------------------

At the same time, i'd expected most of the stars to have better numbers in the postseason, right? I never really thought about it. Better defense but they should be trying to do more. Guess it could go either way.

lol @ dipo and dragic.

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

The higher the profile game, the harder he's gonna try. He's not the type to often try to triple-double the Sixers just to show them who's boss. I sort of expect him to linger in that 1.1-1.2 area throughout his career in terms of season-wide numbers. Still not bad, obviously... I'm just not convinced he'll ever want to focus on getting enough dimes to jack the numbers up. (Though I do expect his shooting percentages to be better this year than last, which should help.)

thus my football teams being horrible and not a lot of thought in this draft. Gonna need to make some moves for sure, but hopefully i will be better than 15.

Scola should see his numbers improve now that he's on shitty ass Brooklyn and not having Biyombo grabbing all of the boards. He's also the annual Brook Lopez injury away from being the starting C on a terrible team. I'll take that as my 11th man.

Beal and Chriss are gambles that I'll gladly take as my end of rotation G and F. (Chriss also could get bumped up to F/C; he started the last preseason game at C and not hard to imagine Len and Chandler getting hurt or Len just losing the backup spot to Chriss.)

Oubre is a long shot but I didn't see much out there after the draft. But, yeah, he could be on waivers soon.

I'm not sure who the fifth waiver wire guy is.

And 5 sounded better than 4.

But i'll round up to Steven Adams lol.

I'll count them down with you as you drop them as the season goes on haha

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.

I could see Beal being Beal and cutting Oubre before the first game but I'm expecting breakouts for Booker, Fournier, and Adams.

I wanted Noah instead of Booker but you got him. I probably should have taken Collison instead but I'm happy with Devin the dude. I was really happy with "Never Google" Fournier where I got him. A slight uptick in his rebounds and assists to go with his made buckets and I'll be happy.

I basically went to the lineup page, saw what everyone should score based on last years stats, added a +/- for my assumptions on rookies and drastic changes (players I expect to breakout/Rookies or have bad years or trades/FA signings) and voila! Lazy ass rankings.
