Alright, that'll make ten.

If anyone else wants to join (DRAFT IS THIS SATURDAY), you'll have to find another person so we can keep the league at an even number.

Ok, i'll give this a shot, but I warn you Ed....I know nothing about basketball 

Oh that's okay, I'll still enjoy beating you . Or if you beat me, I'll just say it was dumb luck. It's win-win really for me.

Oh and congrats on the Spotlight! I'll be checking that sucker out shortly. It looks epic.

LIVE DRAFT AT 10:15 AM PACIFIC 1:15 PM EASTERN!!!!

7.15pm gmt+1


why do you always forget the us germans.

Hmm. Noon. Bad time for me.

i'm the only one signed on right now....and the draft starts in 5 minutes.

lol... I'm in. And draft starts in four minutes... as of NOW.

did the draft start? I don't see you cork or anyone. Its just me with no activity... I think the draft applet may not work for me since I'm at work....

Maybe, because me and Yeshli were the only ones there. Didn't seem like you were there. :/


Anyway, draft is over, and everyone check your teams, because I think I sent out trade proposals to JKay, Outlaw, and Ed.... and maybe some other people if I think of more later.

Dammit. I could have sworn it was 1:15 Pacific.

Actually, I ended up with a pretty good team. A little heavy on pointguards, but I like my selection of forwards.

Sorry I couldn't be there, I was busy running a cross-country meet in the snow. It happens.
Haven't checked my team yet, but since I had to Autodraft I'm sure it's terrible.

I'm satisfied with my team, though I could use a dominant rebounder (why I offered a trade for Garnett) but everything else is pretty satisfactory for only preranking ten players.

if anybody wants a center ...

and where is dirk. i miss you.

you guys need a dominant rebounder? i've got:
Lamar Odom - 10.2 rpg
Chris Bosh - 8.9 rpg
Zach Randolph - 9.6 rpg
Ben Wallace - 12.2 rpg
Chris Webber - 9.1 rpg
Erick Dampier - 8.5 rpg
Antoine Walker - 8.3 rpg
Troy Murphy - 10.8 rpg

and if you think all i have are big men, i also have:
Gilbert Arenas
Paul Pierce
Damon Stoudamire
Luke Ridnour

if you cant tell, im extremely happy with my team.

So when I set a lineup, is it set for that entire week, or can I change it every day if I so choose and still get points for that week's matchup each time I change it?

you can change your line up every day so you can bench players that arent playing one day and start others.

Okay. Sounds like a lot of work, then.

Who's the joker that wanted to trade me Yao for McGrady?

Yeah except Walker probably won't be starting once Posey gets back, and I doubt he'll be getting that many rebounds anyway with Shaq and Wade and Haslem around. Odom, Bosh, and Dampier are not guys I would rely on to put up consistent numbers right now. Webber's stats dropped a ton when he moved to Philly, and Wallace is going to kill you with his FT% and lack of scoring. So it's not all rainbows and roses. Pierce and Arenas will be solid though, no question. That's if Pierce doesn't get traded to somewhere like Denver (for Nene) where he'll play less of a role. Anyway, there's a lot of season left. Probably shouldn't start counting all your chickens just yet.
