I may give it a try...don't save a spot or anything, but if it comes down to the end...and you need an extra guy I might buy in.

Do you just make a weekly lineup? Like in football....or do you have to make like daily changes..

it'll be daily. but there's a max games played per position so you can't stream players in every day. as long as guys don't get hurt you can mostly leave your lineups set.

[IAmNietzche]

Who needs PF help? I'm pretty sure my computer autopicked all of them.

make me an offer: sonicsgate

[IAmNietzche]

make me an offer: sonicsgate
Haha I dunno. I suck at trade offers.

Brand, Millsap, Villanueva, Nene, J. Howard are on my trading block and I'm looking for PG/SG help.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

payment sent!

[Scott Weber]

thank you!

[Deth]

make me an offer: Backcourt Violators

I will only trade if you are trading me a player that went before the player I drafted.

[xbrokendownx]

lol wut

hahahaha why would anyone trade with you then? if they wanted that guy, they would have took him. give me a break.

[Deth]

hahahaha why would anyone trade with you then? if they wanted that guy, they would have took him. give me a break.

Why would I want someone lower ranked when the season hasn't started, think before you try and tell me how to operate my team. If nobody wants to trade with me so be it i'll probably win this league just like I win all my other leagues.

LOL, sounds good. sometimes people don't research the format before the draft or need to fill their holes better. nobody will trade with you if you take that approach, my man. enjoy finishing behind me.

[IAmNietzche]

Jason Terry for Josh Smith?? For Reals?

[IAmNietzche]

LOL, sounds good. sometimes people don't research the format before the draft or need to fill their holes better. nobody will trade with you if you take that approach, my man. enjoy finishing behind me.
Haha I said I'm not good at offering trades, not that I'm an idiot.

[avengedtbs]

Payment sent. Forgot to post that.

[Scott Weber]

we're in agreement that this is a winner take all league?

[MIKEY_HORROR]

That's fine with me. I am pretty much down for whatever as far as that goes.

[pand75]

Yeah since it's a 10 buy in, that's cool.

[Scott Weber]

how is this working out so far?

[SlappedActor]

make me an offer: Backcourt Violators

I'm not even in this league, but holy LOL.

[Deth]

laugh all you want, but for most people splash trades make fantasy leagues fun.

[Scott Weber]

laugh all you want, but for most people splash trades make fantasy leagues fun.
I don't understand. Splash trades?

[pand75]

I really like my team and I think I can win this league, if Arenas gets hurt for Weebs haha.

[Scott Weber]

I really like my team and I think I can win this league, if Arenas gets hurt for Weebs haha.
:)

[Scott Weber]

I have an abundance of PGs and I'm willing to trade one for a PF/C. Make me an offer (make sure the average FPPG are at least close). Do not care about the ranks.

[pand75]

Tyrus Thomas for Brandon Jennings?

He's off to a slow start but I have Rashard coming back soon, so I don't need him.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I have no clue what I am doing with my team, haha...its taking me a little bit to figure out how you should work your team/substitutions.

I went from first to like seventh real quick!

[Scott Weber]

Tyrus Thomas for Brandon Jennings?

He's off to a slow start but I have Rashard coming back soon, so I don't need him.
hahahaha are you kidding me? yeah i'll trade 35 ppg for 18.

[pand75]

hahah didn't think so. Anything you want on my team?

[xbrokendownx]

Marc Gasol is looking like a late round steal a couple of games into the year

[pand75]

My late round steal is definitely Kaman. 10th round.

[Scott Weber]

hahah didn't think so. Anything you want on my team?
interested in dirk and igoudala, match the points up and maybe we can make something work.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I'm down for trades to, if anyone wants anything....except for Lebron.

[Scott Weber]

You guys know there are games played caps? A lot of you are streaming your players in every day to play, which is fine, but you will go over 82 games played for each position and start putting up zeros in those spots as soon as you hit 82. This is standard in fantasy leagues...

[xbrokendownx]

shh you shouldnt have told them

[pand75]

Yeah that's why I had a crappy 50 points tonight and mazn had like 350

[iihungrieii]

didnt like being last place =(

[Deth]

K-Mart! :(

[IAmNietzche]

Quick question... if I trade my first two picks (10,11) for someone else's (1-21) is that going to bite me in the ass in later rounds or does it all even out?

[StandMyBrothers]

10-11 is better I think.

[Scott Weber]

No way. I'll take 1-21. LeBron/Paul is worth it.

[iihungrieii]

are you talking about before even drafting the players or after having drafted already??? if its before the draft id do it, but if its after i think it depends on who was drafted

[Scott Weber]

are you joking with these trade offers Deth?

[pand75]

He just offered me in football:

I give:
Schaub and Braylon Edwards

I get:
Warner and Santana Moss

Dude, you suck.

[Deth]

are you joking with these trade offers Deth?

No, if you don't accept it nothing I can do. lol.

[Deth]

He just offered me in football:

Dude, you suck.

you tried to give me romo who i don't want and you want wes welker which i'm not giving up lol.

[Scott Weber]

No, if you don't accept it nothing I can do. lol.
But why would you even try that? It takes one click to see the points per game in this format, if you want to trade at least offer something close.

[startBBtoday]

Trying to figure out deth's trade proposals are impossible. In our football league that I needed a wr and had an abundance of rb he offered me warner/lt for rivers and boldin.

Another offer was rivers/roddy white for warner and welker.

I guess he really doesn't like warner.

[xbrokendownx]

took your trade offer Weber

[Scott Weber]

sweet, rose is off to a slow start but I trust him to be healthy way more than i do Baron.

[xbrokendownx]

yea, it sucks trading rose but i think Beasley will outperform Prince (who i dont like to begin with). hopefully Baron stays healthy

[Scott Weber]

i hate tayshawn prince. but i do think he'll outperform beasley.

[pand75]

He's valuable in this format (prince)

I had Rivers last year which I loved and dropped Warner first week. I like risks, but not 39 year old QB's who have had one complete season in the past 5 or so years.

no one made you draft him

[Deth]

no one made you draft him

true LOL what was I thinking :D

[iihungrieii]

damn i am really considering the trade offer you proposed to be scott.

[Scott Weber]

damn i am really considering the trade offer you proposed to be scott.
the points favor you. i just desperately need PF/C depth.

[MIKEY_HORROR]

the points favor you. i just desperately need PF/C depth.

I would be willing to trade away a PF/C if you are interested in any of mine..I've got a few decent ones

[xbrokendownx]

yea scott im thinking about your trade too...if i get Jennings though i think i have too many PGs and not enough big men. ill see

[Scott Weber]

actually i'm glad you brought it up because i decided not to do it. i am thin, but I think i can wait. i'm not convinced amare is healthy because he's been a shell of his normal self.

[Scott Weber]

yea scott im thinking about your trade too...if i get Jennings though i think i have too many PGs and not enough big men. ill see
i'll still do your trade. but i decided not to do jennings for amare.

[iihungrieii]

actually i'm glad you brought it up because i decided not to do it. i am thin, but I think i can wait. i'm not convinced amare is healthy because he's been a shell of his normal self.

=(

[Scott Weber]

=(
Would consider doing for somebody besides Jennings? Feel free to re-propose something.

[iihungrieii]

Would consider doing for somebody besides Jennings? Feel free to re-propose something.

yeah but i dont think you'd accept any of them. i like gilbert, wade, rose, or carmelo =)

[Scott Weber]

yeah but i dont think you'd accept any of them. i like gilbert, wade, rose, or carmelo =)
haha nah. match the PPG up or close and we can work it out. kind of have to ignore the o-ranks in this format when you trade.

[Scott Weber]

one of you still owes money for this league. who is it?

[iihungrieii]

me

[Scott Weber]

mazn!

[iihungrieii]

i gotta go home to fix my paypal, but everytime i go home im busy =(

[Deth]

omg jennings was in beast mode FML

[Scott Weber]

officially not trading jennings...haha

[xbrokendownx]

yea christ i guess i shouldve taken that trade the other day haha

[iihungrieii]

i couldve traded him for fuckin amare.............

[xbrokendownx]

our trade was Duncan for Jennings

[Scott Weber]

that's what you get for sitting on trade requests, haha

[Deth]

FML2 jeff green is in a slump!

[pand75]

I get Rashard tomorrow. I'm making a run for this championship.

[Scott Weber]

I get Rashard tomorrow. I'm making a run for this championship.
he's really mediocre in this format.

[pand75]

he's really mediocre in this format.
Still more productive than Grant Hill.

[Deth]

Stephen Jackson to the bobcats :P hope that doesn't bite me in the ass.

[iihungrieii]

1st place!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scott Weber]

1st place!!!!!!!!!!!!
you're over your position limits. everyone that has been streaming their players in will eventually fade when they run out of positions.

[xbrokendownx]

starting to move up from the bottom of the league...need to get my injured players back. i also just lost azubike and speights

[iihungrieii]

you're over your position limits. everyone that has been streaming their players in will eventually fade when they run out of positions.

im at around 11 games played which is about average, im not worried.

[Scott Weber]

im at around 11 games played which is about average, im not worried.
Heh. When you have to start benching players you will be.

Sucks you lost Jameer.

[pand75]

51 points out of first! I love my team, haha. I just hope Kaman and Hibbert can keep it up.

[iihungrieii]

Heh. When you have to start benching players you will be.

Sucks you lost Jameer.

yeah that one hurt, but i got stephen curry to replace him and he should produce around the same amount as jameer

[xbrokendownx]

294 points from my squad last night...moving up the standings!

[pand75]

Every time I have a good night, Scott/Mazn are right behind me or slightly above me. Hopefully I can keep close year long.

[Scott Weber]

I'm going to have a handful of extra games left in the tank at the end because I haven't streamed at all. If I had as much as everyone else I'd have a couple hundred points lead.

[pand75]

I haven't really streamed in people. Like I have plus in some positions but negatives in others.

[xbrokendownx]

i havent really streamed either. im 2-3 games under the limit i believe

[Deth]

Another one bites the dust...

4 injured players now on my roster haha.

[Scott Weber]

hell of a weekend for me.

[iihungrieii]

hell of a weekend for me.

you scored about 150 more than me yesterday =(

[Scott Weber]

well, i caught up in games played. i had a lot less games played than everyone.

[pand75]

Don't count me out, haha.

[Scott Weber]

I feel very confident in this league. if you look at teams and average points per player, I think I'd lead by quite a bit.

[pand75]

Yeah your team is the best for sure, but like I said, you better hope Agent Zero stays healthy.

[Scott Weber]

standmybrothers, what in the world are you doing with your team?

[iihungrieii]

outscored scott by over 100 and im still down by over 100?!?!?

[xbrokendownx]

4th and climbing...

[MIKEY_HORROR]

I can't seem to figure this crap out.....in 6th place, and can't seem to make it any higher then 4th...haha

[Scott Weber]

pulling away.

[iihungrieii]

i didnt have any people today..........

tomorrow i have a full lineup though

[Scott Weber]

mason, come on, pay up man

[iihungrieii]

sorry, i just finished my finals. im home now. i gotta call paypal to fix my account. they have me on restricted access so i cant do anything with it

[iihungrieii]

paid

[Deth]

Anyone else notice the Points Change difference and also the maximum games error? Is this a Yahoo Fantasy Basketball bug?

[Scott Weber]

My league page shows a message that Yahoo is fixing it.

[xbrokendownx]

all the way up to third...im coming for you Mazn

[Scott Weber]

enjoy the battle for the consolation prize!

[xbrokendownx]

haha yea yea your teams pretty damn good...i had a lot of injuries so now that my teams healthy i like the way things are going, but itll be tough to catch you in a points league

[xbrokendownx]

good thing i let the arenas trade hang around a few days! haha i was thinking about accepting last week

[iihungrieii]

maybe now i can catch up!!!!

[Scott Weber]

booooo

i'm deep, i'll survive.

[Deth]

Unexpected turn of events. Hopefully my team produces when everyone is healthy again. Still a lot of time to catch up.

[Deth]

K-Mart is baaaackkk, finally my team can compete once again!

[Deth]

trade deadline is coming up anyone want to make some crazy blockbuster trades?

[SRRM]

nice

[Deth]

It's not over yet as there are still some position battles going on, but great season!

[xbrokendownx]

haha my team was so far behind like halfway through the year so i just stopped checking my team

[Scott Weber]

so close, but unless i have a huge night mazn's got it.

[iihungrieii]

WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scott Weber]

[iihungrieii]

i fucked up and it cost me lots of money :(
