"so hard to judge teams now because it's impossible to know how people will fill out rosters."

Yup.  But that's why these are typically called impressions (the thread title is different this season for some reason).  Also, if you notice, there's a lot of ambiguity in my evals, mostly because of the new structure.  Badja just wants to start some **** for some reason.  I don't exactly have to do this (this ain't the funk52 where the champ has to do evals); I just do it because it's fun (and several owners have told me they've learned stuff from me in the past).

keep doing what you

I for one am interested to hear your critique of my team with added point guard..

I'll do another sweep after round 5 (and scud posts it).  Since I'm not in the league, I'm not as interested and am not following picks as closely.

@apple - I'm not mad.
@scud - thanks.
@badja - you're right; I know nothing about $42M leagues.

...

"42 million" is meaningless as far as comparing to last season.  This would essentially be a 37 mil league using last season's salaries.

Because starting **** is just what I do, Ash!

I'm not ash, but it doesn't change my thought that I'll be fascinated to see how you put the rest of your team together to get to 19000 minutes, without about 5000 minutes occupied by some of the worst players in history. I would like your team a lot before the salary change (even though I think the Walton pick is puzzling regardless). Now, unless you're using a scrubby Willis/Calderon, I just can't see the rest of the team coming together. But you're the one who knows which versions you're using, so we'll see what happens.

Who said anything about last season?  I'm well aware of what can and can't be done and referred to the salary change several times in the evals.  Did you even read the evals?  I wish there was a roll eyes emoticon b/c I feel I'd follow each of my responses to you with one.

I enjoy your comments, ash. 

I hope you rejoin the league next season.

updated through coach... coley and sappy missed picks

so hard to judge teams now because it's impossible to know how people will fill out rosters. there are a couple of teams I am skeptical will be able to make it to 19000 minutes, even using the most terrible cheap minute guys out there.

I don't even know how my team will look in the end - for example my Pippen pick was made partly because he has both a $7.3 mil, 3000 min season and a $4.3, 2200 min season that I like, and I really have no idea which I'll go with - depends on how everything else shakes out.

so true.....its gonna be fun to see what seasons everyone has to use of players who usually always have the same one or two seasons used

i will def be one of those teams that doesnt get to 19000 mins...right now my projected team gets 18000...still hoping to use the 88-89 jordan season

My projected team has 19,400 right now, but three of my subs would be in the hackers hall of fame.
