I would just like to record myself on record as saying: I don't give af about stacking any one team or two for a championship run and my goal is to be competitive with all five teams. So if I end with no rings, so be it. I have stated my intentions.

My intent:

Haha. Yes, why not indeed.

My point is that if, as an extreme example, I won two championships but missed the playoffs with the other three teams, I would consider that a failure.

Me: I just want to make the playoffs in a couple of the leagues, y'all.
Also Me: I'm going to win the 'ship in every league.
Walter Sobchak: You're out of your element, Donnie.

Me: I can do this. I can do this. I always say it, but this time's for real. It's gonna happen this time.
The Dude: Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Jesus Quintana: Are you ready to be f***ed, man?

hahahaha...just got done a lil smoke session and that got me good

fun fact....ive had "youre out of your element donnie!" shouted at me my entire life

Careful, man, there's a #15 pick trying to trade down here!

oh man, that just took me back to Scud's old evals where he would do the entire thing in Lebowski quotes. I hope he's okay out there.

Yeah I am not sure what the latest is. He had some medical procedure done, came back for one ODL a little cranky, and then disappeared. I also hope he is okay. I think he is back in the states?

scud would have loved this league...i miss that guy

Not sure. He was part of the original tepl... disappeared... came back and took back over a team... then disappeared again. He was one of the guys that showed me how to play this game... I miss the hell out of that dude.

Same dude. He was an institution.

Ack! I totally missed out on this ride. I would have been in. Thanks for the shout outs in the classifieds. Glad it's underway, with or without me. I plan on haunting this commentary thread and making fun of everyone's picks.

Yeah, I remember all that. He was such a WIS lifer, it's worried me that he's stayed away so long. I have to wonder if he's moved moved on to the Big Everlasting Sim. A very good dude. One of my first mentors in this ridiculous game.

Howard is the guy I assumed was next on dh and ash's boards. I almost picked him. I may regret not picking him; you're locking in great efficiency, good to great defense, and elite boards for every season. The thing that kept me from picking him was the relatively high fouls and pretty high turnovers, especially for the seasons where his usage dips a little lower. Plus no assists, in a league where that may be harder to come by. Still probably a "safer" pick than Durant.
