2487808, OKP Survivor 11 BOLD predictions b/w early must see games
Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Oct-27-15 08:35 AM
Top 10:
10-Both rookies finish better than Magilla (not that bold but yeah)

9-Theo's team is beastly for 1/4th the season, he barely posts cuz he's good. Theo's team encounters mass injury, he barely posts cuz he's pissed. Theo's team recovers and gets bounced in the second round, he barely posts cuz that's what always happens. He contemplates retirement, decides against it, rinse, wash, repeat.

8-Shawn makes nice this year. :)

7-I win the border war against DSTLNinersfan#1 (STL vs {chi}ESL) 3-1

6-Ryan misses the playoffs (JINX lol)

5-Me or Ernie will get our 3rd ring this year

4-If Boogs gets to the finals for the 5th time, he will lose...again.

3-No team will win more than 41 games, no team will win less than 20

2-LABeat won't be so angry this year and will replace his normal angst with witty banter and camaraderie.

1-By December, only 3 people will be making legit efforts to make this league fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Early season must see games:
Game 1 - San Diego @ Hollywoooooooood: Ring night for the champ. Will RBO's 11th ranked team spoil the occasion.

Game 2 - STL @ Restown: "No, I'm the BEST rookie!"

Game 6 - Hollywoooooooood @ Point Breeze: Champ vs Preseason #1 ranked team

Game 7 - Hollywoooooooood @ Isla de Coney: WCF rematch

Game 8 - Stanley @ Springfield: BCF rematch

Game 9 - Point Breeze @ Bangkok: top 2 ranked preseason teams match up for the first time.

Game 11 - Hollywoooooooood @ Stanley: Finals rematch on Boogs' home turf.

Game 12 - Houston Hardhead @ Duval County: First game in the $50...err...uh...$20 'better record' battles.

Game 13 - Houston Hardhead @ H Street Corridor: preseason rivalry between LABeat and Magilla becomes material.

Game 15 - Chi:ESL @ STL: First game of the border wars. Trump will be giddy.

What I could do is send you the standings upon request whenever you want to do them. Would you need access to anything else to do rankings?

2487840, My Late Rankings as Usual:
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Oct-27-15 10:05 AM

Absolutely no chance Bottom feeders
16 Dstl
15 Magilla
14 Smurf

No Chance but good effort
13 Ceej
12 TJT
11 Longo
10 AB
9 Ryan

Contenders
8 Cenario
7 RBO
6 Boogs
5 Ernie
4 Shells
3 Theo
2 Beathustla
1 Shawn


I said it last year, but in general guys are getting better at this. We'll always have Magilla in the bottom tier but then you have a solid group in the middle who need a lot of luck, followed by a solid group that will win games but not consistently enough to be real contenders. This year we have a group of 8 that can win it all.

I remember after the first 2 rounds I was like --OK-- almost all of us got a nice base to build around. After the draft before looking at all teams I felt mine was more in the middle of the contender pack. However, after looking in detail at all the teams, everyone had some holes, my big one was covering all my minutes - which ive since addressed.



16 DSTL
+ Steph Curry - when he made this pick after proclaiming Bron, I was like Oh shit we got a player here
+ Conley gives reliable backcourt
+Giannis Who doesnt like Giannis? I mean he may be mediocre in WS but everyone love Giannis

- 4 C Only Players, cmon
- Not enough F minutes
- Taking Brook Lopez that early (esp if you were gonna take 3 other Cs

15 Magilla
+ Boogie
+ Some excitement with Julius Randle
+ getting Miles and Cody to cover FC

- Jrue Holiday and 15 min cap that early
- Tristan Thompson before he got signed
- Drafting Joakim as C only immediately after Boogie. Didnt you make this mistake last year? WIth 2 Centers you couldnt use?

14 Smerf
+ Frontcourt
+ Flexibility with Kobe and Evan Turner
+ decent late picking and Mo WIlliams

-Alexey Shved LOLOL
- Middleton at 120
-possibly not having enough F minutes
-------------------
13 CEEJ
Ceej has built a solid team if KD can get back to form. His key is whether Ty Lawson and how he plays with Harden. If Ty balls out that pushes Ceej up a bit. But overall unspectacular team that will generally lose to the top 8.

12 TJT
Not really impressed by this team. Dwight already injured. I like David Lee in WS, but that pick was a reach at that point. Even if Rondo is better, I dont know if he's 1.3 better and he needs to be if TJT wants to push into the next tier. Has Wade who he made lots of jokes on ernie (with me) about last season. Jokes on you this year.

11 Longo
Frank kinda went against the grain this year without Cp3. He went to a "safer" less upsidey draft. Every year Frank picks and tells me how so and so was a part of his championship team 3 years ago. Harden is gonna have a drop in WS but still good. Teamed with Lowry (franks best pick) they will be one of the best backcourts. However his front line will not do shit. I know he's going for the Favors upswing and the Oquinn continued efficiency, but thats solid at best. Enjoy!

10 Ryan
I loved his team last year but he wont win it all this year. Drummond was nice, but dont really love any other pick here. Dame is gonna put up numbers but whats his efficiency gonna be? 37 mpg? more turnovers? I see Payton doing the same as last season. I dont know if his shot and scoring has gotten enough better for him to move up another tier. Terrence Jones is solid but him and Rudy as your lead F's :(

9) AB
Russy and three other starters will carry this team. Russy, Hill, Niko, Dray. I really wanted Dray with my pick but ended up being happy with Horford. Dont know why AB went with 2 C's. Probably the 2 wrong ones -well at least Al. After his first 5 AB basically took a nosedive.

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



8) RBO
Solid draft but didnt love it as much as RBO did. The C corps is solid but expect Tyson to go back towards his 1.1 days. Duncan will be fine, KAT will have some huge games but also some poor ones with too many TOS. Kris humphries is always underrated. Worried about this teams Guards. Tyreke has been good in the past but hes hurt. The Mechanic and Dragic arent gonna do anything for you as your lead guards. He can see a huge boost if Clarkson lives up to his potential, but that will be harder at SG.

7) Cenario
This team really contending will depend on Mudiay as a 2nd G. If Mudiay can ball to his potential early, Cenario is in the game. Bogut and Nurkic (when healthy) will be a top efficient C corps. I wanted to get Bogut but missed. I expect a big season from Bron early on if he can stay healthy.

6) Boogs
Deandre, Monroe, Bosh, Hill, Biyombo - Nice. MCW and Kemba with Mccollum and Mcconnell as backup--not so nice. I really hated MCW last year. He wins you some games, but then loses you others because instead of being a consistent 1.2 He's 1.4, followed by .8. His shooting and turnover issues still seem to exist. Mccollum is a SG and will only score. Great for Yahoo leagues though

5) Ern
Dont love the Koufos, Ibaka, Turner Centership. Really like Faried and Trob at the F. I dont know if Faried hits pre-Brian shaw numbers (he may need new scenery altogether0 but he will be better thanlast year. Kawhi, Rubio, and Schroeder at G make this team tough. If Kawhi ready to take that next step into a top 7 type of player?

4) Shelly
Came out of nowhere and had a atypicla nice draft. Was on fire early on I thought with Reggie, teague, Gobert, Speights, Henson but by the second half of the draft you saw Shelly's draft start to fall off almost as bad as ABs. Still the first 7 wll carry this team

3) Theo
I can see why people like this team, CP3, Rose, Whiteside, Zaza Zach. Theres a lot to like. I still have questions though about Brandon Knight in our format. he saw a dramatic falloff in Phx last year. If it wasnt for the milwaukee start his numbers would look undraftable. I think Rose ends up being a helluva value and Theos second Guard. jack will be nice. I dont see old Kevin Love coming back, but thats the key. If Love gets anywhere near old Kevin Love, this team is #1.

2) Beathustla
Playing fanduel has helped Uncle mel see more value and efficiency.
I love this frontline based on potential and what I expect this season (though I wouldnt order them this way).
Mahimi and Dieng will have good seasons and were a value wher ethey went.
Thadd and Capel at backup is the weak spot here, but if Capela can continue from last season and preseason he will be key (esp with Dwight missing games). Wall and Batum with Parker backing them up will make a nice crew of guards. Watch out.

1) Shawn
Like I said my main hole was worrying about minutes because Portis and Huertas' minutes are unknown. I was able to fix that with sessions, and now it seems like Huertas is the backup pg. The team is relatively healthy and sully hopefully played his way back into 10-15 mpg the last 2 preseason games. No injuries right now (Knock on wood). AD will be on another level.

Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Oct-27-15 10:28 AM
Remember that? Wasn't too long ago.

Last year I was too top-heavy on Gs too-- I didn't have any depth. That was my biggest problem-- not the forwards or centers, but needing 30 minutes out of fucking Zach LaVine for a month and a half.

This year, I've got guard depth covered. Not making that mistake again. So I should be good.
2487860, that's a typical frank draft tho
Posted by Cenario, Tue Oct-27-15 10:26 AM
two great guards, one good F and a bunch of F's that might be 1.3 or might not play.
2487862, Yep.
Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Oct-27-15 10:29 AM
And that formula won me a title not too long ago, so I'll stick with it and let Shawn get his chuckles in while he can.

I like Al this year but two big minute C only's (early) is Ceej esque.



>5) Ern
>Dont love the Koufos, Ibaka, Turner Centership.

I do. Serge should have no problem getting back to the 1.2s this year with OKC at full strength. Turner is block his way to 1.2 easy. Koufos was a late flier, but easily replaceable if he doesnt pan out. I like his odds.

If and when Sideshow goes down, you're gonna struggle for F minutes. Shit you might be using alot of Ryan Anderson out of the gate with all the other question marks.
2487887, Theres like 8 other Centers I can pick up

He doesn't have a timetable to get back. And he was next-level slow *before* tearing the ACL.

Those might be the reasons.

He might be the slowest point guard in the NBA. He's smart and he's crafty, but those shoes have bricks in them.

2487921, McConnell might honestly be better. Or Pierre Jackson.
Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Oct-27-15 12:04 PM
Aren't those the options? We'll see.

Marshall's an elite elite elite passer, I'm not questioning that. But he can't do anything else. It's like if Rondo couldn't play defense or drive to the basket or get rebounds.

And he's coming off an ACL?

Look, he may give you some FPPM when he comes back... but I'd imagine they'd be inconsistent, as will the minutes, and that's why I didn't include Marshall in my consideration.
2487925, Its not like nothing with Rondo.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Oct-27-15 12:24 PM
2487926, lol, you know what I meant.
Posted by Frank Longo, Tue Oct-27-15 12:26 PM
An elite passer can't get heavy minutes on exclusively elite passing if he sucks at pretty much everything else.

Luckily, Philly sucks, so like I said, maybe he's worth the gamble. But I wouldn't bank on him, nor would I consider him when assessing your stash of guards.
2487930, Its not like nothing with Rondo.
Posted by TheRealBillyOcean, Tue Oct-27-15 12:38 PM
2487933, Okay, Mr. Defensive. Replace "Rondo" with "any other elite passer."

2487960, Guess I gotta do this:
Posted by auragin_boi, Tue Oct-27-15 01:51 PM
2-Chi:ESL G Russell Westbrook OKL
I only had 2 choices here...Russy or AD. Shawn made it easy.

31-Chi:ESL F Draymond Green GSW
Nerlens was my real #2 but I knew I couldn't get him at 31. Tried to make something happen with Frank for #24 but he laughed at my request and hit reject. Would have gotten him a pick before LABeat. Dray was the best of what was left IMO.

44-Chi:ESL C Nikola Vucevic ORL
So I had a 2:30pm EST interview and left 5 minutes before my next pick landed (there were like 4 picks left...I set contingencies, had Nikola, Faried, Love, Al Jeff then Z-bo. Faried went a pick ahead, Nikola landed, Love and Z-bo went before my next pick...contingency landed on Al Jeff. I figured one of the C's would get taken and I'd get one C and one F. In a perfect world, Al Jeff is Faried.

Also had a trade on the table with Smithers for #34 (34/84 for 44/53). Having to wait 31 picks spooked the hell outta me but if I make that deal I get Nikola 10 picks earlier (still woulda been my pick) woulda still got George Hill at 65 BUT coulda took D-Rose at 84 (5 picks before theo). G lineup woulda been set. Coulda focused on F's and FC's for a few rounds.

53-Chi:ESL C Al Jefferson CHA
Trade bait. On the block today. Looking for a F or FC. Doesn't have to be as good but in the ball park. Initially I thought I'd be able to get Paul George, Rondo or maybe Jimmy Butler here.

65-Chi:ESL G George Hill IND
Needed another G...best thing left on the board. With D-West gone, I think Hill, Monta and PG carry this team. His stats will fall but I'm hoping not much. I'd be good with 1.15+ next to Westbrook

96-Chi:ESL F Markieff Morris PHO
This is where my 31 pick drought ended up being. Sullinger, Rose, Dieng, Dirk, Wade, Mudiay and Randle were all cued up. *wiff* Wanted a starting forward, Morris was there. I think he might have a better year this season (hoping he lands at 1.15) with his brother gone and something to prove (hopefully trying to increase his stock for a trade).

99-Chi:ESL F Stanley Johnson DET
I think Stanley might end up being great for me. Even in limited minutes he bammas out. I get 1.2 from the rookie off the bench and I'll be elated.

126-Chi:ESL F Danilo Gallinari DEN
27 pick drought. Was gonna go G but the guys I wanted and erroneously assumed one would be still on the board (Monta, Oladipo, Jack) were all gone. I SHOULD have picked a G at 96 or 99 but having Al Jeff and not a legit second F there worried me. Danilow was once a good WS player. I'm hoping health and being a/the focal point of Mudiay's assist will help get him back there. 1.1+ would be golden.

134-Chi:ESL G Tony Wroten PHI
McCollum and D-Russell should have been on my board before 134 but I had already mailed it in off of disappointment. Took Wroten to stash but I don't think he'll pay dividens and if he does, won't be until January.

155-Chi:ESL CF Luis Scola TOR
Good FPPM at CF. Death. Taxes. Scola at 1.2

172-Chi:ESL GF Corey Brewer HOU
181 Chi:ESL G Tony Allen MEM

Guess I could have taken Canaan or Winslow here but eh...figured I'd be dropping these two and tweaking all year so didn't really matter much.

Sports.ws needs a 'smart' contingency. Where you can set it by position with structured preferences (set by position, draft these positions in the order I specify). Maybe that's too complicated...eh. Got a good core, gonna have to work hard on the supporting cast. Sounds like the perfect roster for my strengths.

2487963, I'm kinda glad you didn't take that trade. I had PG, Payton, Bledsoe MCW
Posted by Cenario, Tue Oct-27-15 02:13 PM
all ranked around the same...the last 3 went before 44 and it sounds like PG would have too.

Frank is like if you dont want them dont put them in contingency. You were just doing your best to keep the draft moving and put people in a queue and you got screwed because of it.

I really hate shit which kind of goes in the human error category. It was probably tough if a lot of picks went after yours to say much....

But yea I told them about a smart contingency. They said to use the list feature

Posted by auragin_boi, Wed Oct-28-15 09:15 AM
I agree with Frank. I wanted him, just not him+Nikola.

I figured, given I put 5 guys in with 4 picks left and 9 picks between 44/53, that I'd get one of the C's and likely one of the F's or all 4 of the other guys would get drafted and the draft would have been hung up at 53.

It really was a perfect storm. Just wish I could have put C first priority, then F after C so that if one of the C's was picked via contingency, it doesn't pick another but instead looks for a F on the list and does nothing if there isn't one.

But eh...it is what it is.

I been saying for years they should do a waiver priority.

Would solve a lot of the issues you guys complain about.


Was i just supposed to wait til everyone else put a claim for honor since I had first pick?
2488367, At the beginning, the waiver priority is supposed to be reverse draft position
Posted by Cenario, Wed Oct-28-15 09:50 PM
Maybe they changed it. I know when I put the claim in I was 4th.

Why didn't he drop adams smh.

there are so many nuances. Frank is like if they just read theyll know. I started another league with some people at work an other friends and as commish im writing long emails to explain everything to them- and its still unclear.

Honestly to me the bigger rookie issue he had was having 4 centers.

He had to drop one of them.

Id consider making the mistake of who to drop was more of a Magilla type (non rookie) issue
He picked Adams last so I was fully expecting Adams. If he had dropped both Adams and Kanter i woulda gone after Adams first myself, based on what I thought would happen this season. But he didnt. EOD were still one game in.

aren't as good as vets. Did anyone know that dstl wasn't going to read up on the rules beforehand. Of course not. Is anyone shocked that he didnt. They shouldn't be.

No one knows how good/serious someone is going to be about the league until after they've joined.
2488683, My point was that it's really not that hard to prepare.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Oct-29-15 01:26 PM
If you read the website, it details pretty clearly how the scoring works. If that still doesn't work for you, there are a dozen people in this league willing to answer questions at any time.

That's why I was good right away. I did those things. I'm sure I'm not the only one who did those things and felt like he knew what to do when entering the league.

Other rookies may not do those things, or may take those things for granted. That's fine. But that wasn't my point. My point was against the people saying "this league is really hard to figure out!" No, it really isn't. Not if you read the rules and/or ask for clarifications pre-draft.

Maybe it's really hard for most rookies to realize that they need to read over the rules and/or ask for clarifications. I'll grant you that. But it's really not that hard to understand the league's rules.

I don't think I ever said "rookies know what they're doing." I said "rookies should know what they're doing." And that's true.
2488694, Ok i guess we were arguing two different things then. My bottom line
Posted by Cenario, Thu Oct-29-15 01:37 PM
was that most rookies don't know what they are doing in the beginning and you can't guarantee that people joining the league will be one of the better rookies
2488699, Sure.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Oct-29-15 01:48 PM
But I'm also not going to hamstring a rookie's ability to make moves based on my skepticism that he knows what he's doing. I trust that a rookie will read the rules and ask questions.

Now, did I get burned by that trust when STL dropped Enes? Yes. LOL.

I still feel the same way as I did before, though.
2488701, lol, fair

Wish I'd have been able to get him somehow. A preseason waiver priority explanation would be nice, but it's not like Shawn broke the rules.
2488480, Why draft him in the 6th round to begin with?

We really need a rookie boot camp. Shawn has been gifted exactly what he needed. And I'm not even sure how.
2488493, yup..before he even plays 1 game.

somehow have not added dwight powell twice when I meant to. Once in the preseason when I added sessions. All this time i thought he was on my team but just looked at the transaction log, nope.

Then last night pregame I actually dropped Portis for him on my phone but didnt pick him up somehow?

Either way glad to have him on board

The one benefit of the 0-1 start is a couple more days to work the wire with full priority :)

Posted by Dstl1, Thu Oct-29-15 11:06 AM
maybe there was a rookie symposium that I missed...if so, that's on me. I legit didn't know until this Tuesday that there were minutes considerations. I was basically drafting based on who I thought would play a lot. I dropped Kanter over Adams because I felt like Adams would play more. That said, I told yall I wasn't coming in here pressed like I was gonna win. I figured I would get my brains beat in, but at the same time have some fun. I been fuckin around on OKP since before there was an OKS and a lot of you have been here for the majority of it. I get fun, shit-talking...that's cool...but so far it seems like all yall do is argue and cry. There was no JFK conspiracy for Shawn to get Kanter. I had no idea he was gonna snatch him or even wanted him.
2488587, I feel you...we do argue and cry alot. But its highly competitive.
Posted by Cenario, Thu Oct-29-15 11:10 AM
but to join a league and not know the 'rules' i guess is kinda O-O, but not completely shocking if $60 is a drop in the bucket.


What made you draft kanter 6th tho? or did you just change your mind and decided that Adams would get more tick?

you might want to check out these links tho.

Posted by auragin_boi, Thu Oct-29-15 11:25 AM
But don't be such a damn rookie and skate on the 'rules'. I linked 'em up and errythang!

It's like Fanduel+a real coaching job. You gotta manage minutes based on efficiency.

You coulda like, ASKED, or something. lol

Also, yes, we do cry and argue...because we are all competitive a**holes who have 10 years of history with each other...and that's a big part of the fun! Good job at your first run of making someone cry and argue!

Now stop trying to be non-committal and phoning it in before you fully 'get it'. Frank was a rookie champ (the ONLY one tho) so it's possible. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Don't make hasty moves early unless it's a clear no-brainer or does minimal to your core group.

But don't be surprised if this is a thing (Kanter-gate) all season. We usually have one a year. Last year I raised a stink about a wack trade of Andre Drummond early in the year (one of the reasons the trade rule was adjusted) so last season it was Drummond-gate. Lasted all year too.

If Shawn start beasting cuz Kanter has a career year, you won't hear the end of it. lol

Posted by ErnestLee, Thu Oct-29-15 11:47 AM
Like if I had 12 g minutes left, I'd get the points produced in the first 12 minutes my last guard played. smh.

Think I drafted Mehmet Okur second round or something too.


>sometimes it takes a while to 'get it'

2488639, YES!!! when Shawn told me I got so many minutes at each position...
Posted by Dstl1, Thu Oct-29-15 11:52 AM
I thought, for example if a player got had a slow first half and then got busy in the second half, I'd only get the first half shit he did if I didn't have any minutes left at the position.
2488648, lol. Yup. But it's actually just "pro rated"
Posted by ErnestLee, Thu Oct-29-15 12:02 PM
The most important number is fantasy points per minute, how many minutes each guy plays is secondary, as long as you find away to get 48 C, 96 G and 96 F. You'll figure it out. (anything about 1.0 fantasy points per minute is what you're looking for though. Ideally 1.2)



And the assholio is what makes this league great!!
2488620, The key to the league is to ignore the armchair analysts.
Posted by Frank Longo, Thu Oct-29-15 11:39 AM
Do learn the rules, etc... but people will *always* tell you your trade is awful, your move is awful, you're trying to ruin the league, you've handed the championship to someone, etc. That's a cornerstone of this league.

Just do what you feel is best for your team. Don't sweat the scolding people will inevitably do.

That's where the history comes in. We never had a trade rule before. Then I made like 3-4 with Magilla and Celery and half the league got pissed because I traded depth for superstars (some others did this too) and it was helping me win. So we(they) created a trade rule to curb it.

Then last year, Shawn gets convenient amnesia about how it operates and tried to exploit a small loophole in the rule (early season stats/slumps) and traded Drummond (who was clearly a star player) for Kanter (ironically) and Reggie Jackson (pre-trade to Detroit).

In essence, depth for a superstar. :-|

Couldn't let it slide. Just encouraged me to go into Lax Commish Swag Mode.

Posted by Cenario, Thu Oct-29-15 02:10 PM
but if you got 2-3 iffy guards for ex, looking at the matchups isn't a bad way to go. Is the reward worth the time for most folks, probably not. Could it buy you a couple of wins across the season?? possibly.

Dude has averaged under 1 FPPM the last four years, all while playing 16-18 MPG. And he's 28 years old entering his 9th season. I'm inclined to agree that he has the tools... but does he have the consistency?

It's hard for me to see a massive leap from his usual .9ish FPPM to a consistent 1.1+ FPPM just because he's getting more minutes. Veteran players who suddenly get more minutes usually don't get that big an efficiency boost.

He could get to 1ish FPPM tho. I could see that. 1.1+? Ehhh. Ask me again in 15 games, lol.

Well, if he can average 1.6+, then he can make it, lol. But he won't break it.

At that point you take Cyses.

I fuckin took Huertas.

I dont really see anyone id definitevely take over him

Myers leonard, maybe.

Bismack--maybe because of the flexibility.

But none of the other enters that went after had a better preseason than Mahinmi.

1st come 1st served with the only exception being record (W/L) It doesntfactor ins point avg if youre bothe 10-10. Whoever requests first gets it.

Enes wasnt that good last night and I just dropped David West. Why? At a certain point these are all speculations and I dont have time to sit and negotiate a trade when other guys on the wire might get sucked up. Its burned me a few times (was that barea I dropped a few years ago?) but its also helped me other times.

you and Shawn said the same. I'm probably getting the leagues confused. I'll let ya'll knw if they respond.

I also asked them what are the options for changing priority or if its on their radar going forward. If there isn't an onsite way to manage priority we're stuck with what ws offers.

2490420, i dont like daily waivers
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Tue Nov-03-15 01:37 PM
part of the fun for me is watching games and making pickups at night.

However i wouldnt mind some sort of waiver prioritry or even a bidding type system.

The question is how can you implement those without a daily deadline?

I also wouldnt mind a no-popcorn system even though im the main guy who benefits.

So basically if you purposely drop a guy you cant be the first one to repick him back up.

2490472, I suggested to WS that Waiver Priority would just start as the reverse
Posted by Cenario, Tue Nov-03-15 02:37 PM
of the draft order. If there are multiple claims put on one person, waiver priority determines it and moves their priority to the end of the list.
2490405, Response from WS re Waivers...if enough people ask/complain about it
Posted by Cenario, Tue Nov-03-15 01:16 PM
they may move it up on their priority list.




As for the waiver questions. Your assumptions are correct. It goes record and then to a first-come basis. I don't disagree with you that it could be better though. Unfortunately, that's part of the code that I haven't even looked at since taking over the site. Eventually I'd like to give commissioners more options, I just don't know when that would be.

391 is probably top 2-3 all time over 10 years.

Stunt worthy.

Hopefully I do the same to you. Don't get comfortable, Curry will come back to earth and hopefully I plant one of these on you too.

How you feel about Kaep getting benched? I know being a niners fan, that was your boy and all.

I was kinda 'eh' on him unless he developed, which he hasn't made the strides he needed to make to be what I thought he could be.

Man and the VD trade, we gotta be in full rebuild mode now. You selling your #85 jersey or no?

Kurt tried to help him with his mechanics and his coach from Nevada said his mechanics looked fucked up...dude said he ain't care about that. Fuck him. At least he got some paper.

Posted by Basaglia, Wed Nov-04-15 04:40 PM

16. Greenfield (Ceej) – My man picked KD and rolled back over in the bed like Murray in Groundhog Day.

15. Restown (who dis am?) – Team bad like lil’ black boys at the carnival.

14. Richmond (Shells) – We know what (i.e. who) the problem is here.

13. YBor City (Magilla) – Who’s Tyler Johnson?

12. Houston (LA) – Typical LA bad luck. I expect this team to move on up soon.

11. San Diego (RBO) – Once Tyreke is back, he’ll be a threat. A thread to not win anything.

10. Disco Fevereratitleville (Zeke-blamer) – I see you tried it with Bogut. Maybe those two Better-than-Melo SFs you hate on can save your dumb ass.

9. Bangkok (Shawn) – Shawn know he gotta make a trade. This roster not consistent enough.

8. RoseSorryAndNoOneWannaSayItTown (AB): Rose sorry, young. Russy wins. Debate over. NOPE! Both had serious knee injuries and multiple surgeries.

7. Hollywood (Ryan) – Um, he gon make the playoffs again and y’all should be scared, because he got a rack of sorry-team players that can go nuts at the end of the season. Watch.

6. Point Breeze (Theo) - I mean, you know Rose sorry, right, Theo?

5. Philly (JerseyT) - That backcourt is a massive, pulsating aneurysm.

4. STL (Dstl): Man, he got Steph. He in this. And Mosgov ain’t even in shape yet.

3. SVJ (Boogs) – Epic frontline. Backcourt ain’t bad either.

2. Springfield (Ern) – The most talented .ws player I’ve ever seen. He pressed.

1. Duval County (Longo) – He #1 because we boys. It helps that he has the highest scoring average, but I’m just usuing that to justify it. If Shells wasn’t so horrible, I’d have him top 5 with anything near 270.
