PrintUPDATE, by Mike: I just created a league on Yahoo. Id is 278582, password is Bullets.
18 teams max, three divisions, standard h2h scoring. Draft is scheduled for Thursday at 9.
what's up everybody. I haven't been the most active member of the site in the last year, year plus- things have been extremly hectic, but I stay tuned in to make sure I'm getting the latest and greatest. Prada, Truth and Jake you are always on top of things and bwoods stat contributions have me extra excited for the season to begin.
In the past we've had official BF Fantasy leagues and I'm checking in to see if it's on and poppin' for 09-10..
Let me know-

I'll play
Though I never checked last year, I’m trying to be better this time around.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I'd be down
Didn’t bwoods suggest having a much larger number of teams to make fantasy basketball better? It would be neat if we could get enough interested people to put that idea into practice.
I'm ready to get whooped up again
Should be fun.

I'm ready to be last again.
I didn’t get a chance to really be active about it, but since I’m moving, I’ll have all the time in the world.
same here
And this year I’ll actually pay attention to the thing.
Okay
I created a league:
ID=278582
password=bullets
18 slots, h2h, standard categories. Draft is Thursday at 9. If it fills up, we can create another league.

Giltawnron Hayoung is ready to go
Coach Winters: Mississippi State's offensive set. 2nd & 2 on our own 24, what defensive set might we call?
Alvin Mack: Eagle Zipper Hero, unless the setback shifts into the I.
Coach Winters: Good..[clicks to next slide], third and seven?
Alvin Mack: Oakie Thunder Lion. {What's your assignment?}
Alvin Mack: Kill the quarterback. {{Coach Winters clicks to next slide}}
Alvin Mack: Hit the tight end so hard his girlfriend dies. {{Coach Winters clicks to next slide}}
Alvin Mack: Kill everybody.

Thanks for setting it up Mike! But ...
Can you change it so that the starting lineups don’t require 2 starting centers? There are barely enough starting quality center-eligible players for each team to start 1 every week, must less 2.
2 Cs is the standard
And since there are so many people with PF/C eligibility, there are actually plenty of centers to go around, so I don’t think it makes much sense to change it.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
But if others feel differently, I can change it

if thats what it was last year, i'm extra cool with it

anyone interested in putting a little money on this….or at least some kind of prize?
I'll see if I can get a giveaway from someone for the winner
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Can we ban Lebron from our league?
I dont think anyone should have to cheer for him….thoughts?
Hahahaha
We can just all agree not to take him.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I support not drafting him
anyone else?

I also support not drafting him, but ...
It is overwhelmingly likely that at some point in the draft someone will miss their live pick and that the system will autodraft Lebron.
Can we have a rule that whoever accidentally takes LeBron that way is forced to cut him?
by Manimal Smith on Oct 19, 2009 3:16 PM EDT up reply actions
He's on the can't cut list, so that won't work
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I'll see if I can take him off the can't cut list
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
The only options are to have a Can't Cut List or to not have one
No option to have a custom list.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Whoever gets LeBron (assuming its autopick)
Can be allowed to have an extra roster spot (via IR) or someway of allowing one team to have another roster spot via the setings.

I don't think I can give one team an extra spot without giving every team an extra spot

Join up guys!
I think the league will be alot more enjoyable if we can manage to get all 18 slots filled.
by Manimal Smith on Oct 19, 2009 6:22 PM EDT up reply actions
If we don't by Thurs, I'll just push the draft back
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I joined-
Last year I managed to come in second but I can’t take any credit for it – I did autopick for the draft and sold my soul and traded for Kobe. I can’t remember who won but he deserved it – he had a good strategy for the playoffs.
Last year was a good match up
I was kind of wary of facing you in the championship because it was actually me who traded you Kobe. Crazy how things turned out!

honestly... i think the no draft lebron rule
might be the best idea in the history of the internet. it would ONLY matter to us, only make sense to us… but isn’t that what every true Wiz fan should feel like?
I love it.

I do too, but I'm just worried about enforcing it

Re: LeBron
I think the best option is an offline draft where nobody picks him, and then nobody picks him up.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
That is probably the best idea.
Let Yahoo set the draft order and then cancel the online draft?
Only issue is actually organizing 18 people to meet “offline” (i.e. not on the service).
by Manimal Smith on Oct 20, 2009 1:25 AM EDT up reply actions
I am pretty sure during the draft
that the commissioner has the ability to stop the draft and re-do picks (at least that is the case in fantasy football). The commissioner could just stop the draft when lebron gets picked and take the next person on the auto pick. Thoughts? That, or we just get everyone to show up and not pick LeTravel
I didn't realize you could do that
Interesting.
As far as the draft order … you can set it when you punch in the players.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Wiouldn't it be easier to
…just trust everyone to put him on the ‘do not draft’ list than try to coordinate schedules to draft offline (and have to actually be online for who knows how long to make picks).
If we can’t get everyone to do that, then we can just mock whoever takes him (and of course consider them disqualified if they use him). Is it possible to kick someone out of the league after the draft?
registered
“macrophenomenal” is ready to go.
Looks like I’ll have to miss the actual draft. That will be step 1 in my “worst in the league”-optimized strategy…
Don't worry, I'm probably changing the draft time
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
side bet! (for honor, not cash)
Without either of us intentionally tanking, I wager my team will do worse than bigrm18.
Sucking at fantasy sports is my one skill in life.
Consider yourself called-out.
You're on!
If my team does better than yours (especially considering I’ve never done fantasy sports before, and have no clue what I’m doing) then you most certainly deserve to win (lose?).
Nice
Boring old stat categories, but I just can’t say no to a league that excludes LeDoesn’tshakehands.
Quality Shots is in and LeWhiner has been excluded from my list.
by bwoodsxyz on Oct 21, 2009 8:43 AM EDT reply actions 1 recs
I'm rec'ing this
Because of the awesomeness of the exclusion of LeDoesn’tshakehands (!) and to help spread the urgency to BAN THIS MAN
Dear Diary, JACKPOT!!!!!!!!!!

FYI, to exclude the player from the autopick list . . . . . .
Under League Notes, go to Rank Your Players and then Edit My Rankings, and add the player(s) to the Exclude Players list.

Four spots left!
While everyone is here … I pushed the draft back to Monday night, but I want to know when people can do it. We can also decide if it makes sense to do it offline to ensure nobody ends up with LeTravel.
I’m pretty much not around this weekend, so let me know.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
Regardless of night -
It’s going to be pretty much impossible for me to do a live draft or even an offline draft if we all have to be present. I can only do an auto pick draft
Ditto
I can’t see this taking priority over many things.
Will my pre-selected draft order still matter, or will I be stuck with the yahoo generic list?
If it is my pre-selected order, does someone have to do that for me, or can it still be automated (I don’t want to be a pain in the ass for someone else).
All that said, I often don’t schedule things in the evenings after 8pm on weekdays, so I may be able to do it despite my LeWhining. I’ve already put Sweet Baby James on my ‘do not draft’ list. Can I (annoyingly) push for that once more? I mean, everyone has to sign up, so why can’t they take that one 5-second step?
I'm pretty late to the game
Are there any spots left? I’m ready to defend my title baby!!!

I think 4 are still left

I read BF all the time but never comment. I am hoping this will encourage a change in that trend.
Any of you guys live in Baltimore? I am always looking for fans to watch games with.
shine like bald head, smoke trees call me log head
So, whats happening with the draft?
Are we doing it online via Yahoo’s system or offline?
I think so
I know it’s not the ideal situation, but I don’t see any other way to do it before the regular season starts.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
You can put Lebron in the don't draft category if you prerank your players
Don’t know if that works, but it’s what I did
Yeah, I did it too
Hopefully everyone did, but I doubt it.
You know you'll get devoured by Cheaney, Wallace, and Juwan Howard.
I did it
And I am actually in another league drafting at the same time. It appears the person going first will draft LeCrab Dribbler so I don’t have to!
