cool, been looking for leagues to join. I wanted to wait so I won't get burned on something like Ricky Williams again.

I know, Ricky hurt so many fantasy owners who drafted early. Anyway I just joined, it should be a fun season.
By the way I'm the T'Wolves.

i will join as well although I will probably get smeared I've done fantasy football for 5 years but never done fantasy basketball. You pretty much want players with well rounded stats right?

Pretty much, there should be some articles on the yahoo fantasy page about FB draft pointers, give those a read to understand a little better.

If you can't make the draft they will pick it for you automatically or you can set your pre-rank list for which players you want 1st,2nd,3rd,etc....

You just finalize your roster, make sure you want the players and get ready for the season to start. I'll be at the draft, but I might get GTA:SA so I might not talk much.

Like I said above sorry I couldn't make it, and I hope everyone likes their roster. I'm not crazy about mine, but its workable.
swetooth9
10-29-2004, 09:57 PM
eh..mine is ok...not that great compared to others, but it is pretty decent :) and sorry i couldnt be there, i had to visit my g'ma in the hospital :(

10-29-2004, 10:04 PM
I like my roster for the most part, although I feel I need 1 more 3 point gunner who can also get me some steals and have decent FT FG %'s. I got lots of big men I'd be willing to trade for such a player

I sure as hell do! That was horse shit that you vetoed those trades, especially my grant hill for brent barry deal. That trade was very fair. Take a goddamned good look at what Grant Hill's #'s are like when he is healthy, he is a fucking elite player! Brant Barry is good, but he has a reduced role on that Spurs team. This is fucking B.S that you are going around policing this thing and telling people what they can and can't do for no damned reason. Are you trying to sabotage peoples teams? Because that is really what it looks like to me. This trade is perfectly fair for both sides. Once again, I DEMAND that reverse it. I had a choice in signing up for leagues and I picked this league because I thought it would be run right. I was very wrong. Get your hands out of other people's business. Now I'm stuck in it and unfortunately I can't dump my team, however if this crap continues and the trade is not reverses I can promise you that I won't be active and I will try my best to dump players just so I won't have to deal with this crap anymore.

Damn man, chill out. No need to get hostile. Its a game and I'll take care out the situation. If only you hadn't been an ass about this and been more civil. I'll see what I can do, but its going to take a while since you were an ass about it.

I am in this league too, and I don't see anything wrong with that trade. Bottom line, to keep it fair, I think it should take a least 3 people in this league, to veto a trade... otherwise, let it go through... we could even use this thread to vote on trades...
swetooth9
11-02-2004, 05:38 PM
i dont get the vetoing trades thing...did he just turn it down? is that all or am i missing something?
craven_fiend
11-02-2004, 05:40 PM
Ok, we'll use the thread to decide on the tough ones. I'll admit I thought about that trade for a bit, and I went with the past attempts he has made and they have been unsuccessful and I didn't want anyone to get burnt on that. As for the other trade I wasn't really sure what to think. So we'll have atleast 3 people give their say on a trade and go from there.

he is the commish. and he vetoed two trades
R. LaFrentz for R. Alston
and
G. Hill for B. Barry
craven_fiend
11-02-2004, 05:45 PM
Just repropose the trades and we'll see take a vote.
I am guessing everyone thats one here thought those trades were fair?

oh, so who did jimbodan trade with?
cyberlian
11-02-2004, 05:47 PM
well R. Alston averaged 10.2ppg 4.5apg & 1.4spg last year with the heat
and R. LaFrentz averaged 7.8ppg .8bpg 4.7 rpg but only played 17 games last year and this year he has a starting spot on a weak boston celtics team,
So I would say that this trade is close enough...
I really don't think we should mess with trades that much unless it is something just unbelievably obvious like a Kobe for Tyson Chandler swap...
If both owners agree to it, I don't see why the trade shouldn't go through.

good call!
we can all come to this board and protest if we don't agree with a trade and after posting here, then we could discuss it... otherwise just let it be...

the trade was between Kiss it for Kobe & The Poontastic Team, I think jimbodan is the poontastic team...

I apologize to Jimbodan and the others involved, I made a decision on what I thought. Let the fun begin. No harm no foul. Plus the trade was going through until Saturday for some reason.

I apologize too, for being so harsh. I just really hate it when league leaders start vetoing close trades, it happened in one of my baseball leagues and it totally ruined the league. I don't want to see that happen here.

Would anyone be against me compiling the teams on the first page with who each "owner" is? If not, I'll get right on it.

Edited original post to show each team with its cag rep.. i think all are correct and i am not sure who the one team belongs to.
I had changed my team name to The Yes Men.
