PS. When's the trade deadline? I don't think there is one this season according to the League Settings.

Anyway - doesn't matter now. My point was that if we played in a league where you were forced to keep three guys (which is the way I think it should be), then I'd agree that you were hard done by. Instead, you'll keep LeBron and Al Jeff and get an early look at all of the top guys that weren't kept, and there should be plenty of talent there. So it's not exactly a big deal, plus you could win the title so it's not as if it's been a disaster.

I see what you're saying.......and in the end, I don't particularly care too much.......but, if I'd realised there was three available spots for keepers, I woud've kept Curry - coz there is no way I'll get a better player then him with my third pick. Anyhow, like I said, doesn't matter anyway. As for winning this year.........if my peaheart team could get on the court, I'd be a little optimistic about my chances......

This league may be different to my ESPN ones, but wouldn't it be beneficial to tank the consolation and get the first draft pick. Losing to an absent player might even take some time and skill. Well done to the person you speak of!!

Draft positions will be on regular season finish, to counter the situation you suggest could happen.

Gotta extract some revenge on the Clam!!

I look at it now and can't even fathom how I got that side. Pretty much everyone outside of Rose, Curry, Bosh and Boozer I could have picked up off waiver wire last week...

Late to the parade as per. A very slow start to the season but came home on fire (unlike Usher who came last). Unlucky to miss out on the playoffs but having Eric Gordon out all season, pretty happy where i finished.
In terms of 2 or 3 keepers, I thought it was 3 as well but would be happy with less keepers. Must admit, at the end of the day, the waiver wire is where it's at and I do remember malice bragging about getting Griffin late last year.......................and he again finished down the bottom. Still gotta draft your team and get some luck.

Wow. 2 posts in a day. Someone stop me!!! Can we start brainstorming a good draft time. Again, pretty pretty please that we dont do it on a Saturday night. I might be getting old but I usually am out somewhere around that time.

Agreed. I think we can set a date prior to this season finishing... thoughts?
I think if we set it far enough in advance, then we can get everyone involved. I'd suggest that we need to have a replacement for Winnaz set first.
