I took a long look at 90-91 barkley, and initially built a team around him and was going to use him. 90-91 is better than 85-86 pound for pound. but 90-91 plays 6 mpg less than 85-86 barkley. and ultimately I just didn't want to lose 6 mpg of my first round pick.

I spread my players top 4 seasons evenly across 4 teams to create 4 strong teams "gold", "juno" "sword" and "utah"... and then put all my players 5th best seasons in team 5 "omaha". omaha was the bloodiest beach, after all.

checking to hopefully see omaha in my division.....


...it is! niiice...although you still have 88-89 barkley and 05-06 ak47 on that team...its not that awful

looks like I avoid kinoa. I'm sure there are others I avoid, but his teams were the ones I feared the most. I also don't like my matchup with Ben, who I only got once.

How many of you put your teams in 1-2-3-4-5 corresponding to your perception of their strength? IE how many of you put the team you thought was best in league #1, worst in league #5, and so on between (or vice versa)?

ohhhh i fuuuucked up big time there...i had every intention of mixing mine up but i was rushing when i created the league numbers and just blindly put them in 1-5...didnt fully realize what i did until after i sent the league#s out...whoops

not even sure if its the order of my best teams but it is 1-5 on the kareems i chose first(71-72 is 1, 70-71 is 2 etc)

I think my teams are reasonably even, all things considered, but I did rank them and put them in kind of randomly because I guessed several owners would do the 1-2-3-4-5 thing.

I did originally put all of my best player seasons (of the starters) in one league and work from there, but I got better distribution of stats by spreading them out a little differently. I went from having one team with 101 usage and another 116 to having all five be in the 107-110 range. When it came to the bench, I originally did the same thing, but figured I'd get more mileage out of my best bench seasons by spreading them out.

All told, I probably spent at least 24 hours tweaking the teams & lineups after the draft was over.

Hoping for 250+ wins. Could be a pipe dream. The Cream is the team I think has the best chance to win it all because, you know, the cream will RIIIIIIIIIIIIISE to the top! Ooooooh Yeeeeee-aaaaaah!!

Haha that league has my best team too.

In there with you #5. dh, ash, 24k and jp might be racking up wins at our expense.

does anyone remember the league i started years ago called the OCP?

the OCP(owners choice progressive) was the forefather of this league...im a little hazy on all the details now but basically it was a 5 year progressive where you chose which seasons of your players you used next...a flawed idea for sure...98average burned through 91-92 rodman and his other best seasons in year 1 and then quit the league like the ******* he was(do kinda miss him tho - he would have joined this league for sure)...the league folded shortly after...but its memory was what led to this league

The only way to avoid that issue is to have everyone pool GC at the beginning and make a prize pool out of it.

If it makes you feel any better I have no idea which of my teams is the best one, but it's probably not that one. I picked the wrong McMillan for that team, needed one of the higher D, stronger efg ones.

12-13 larry sanders is gonna be locking up 07-08 amare...i dont like it

The defense on that team is basically:

(frontcourt)
3,134 minutes of 99 defense
1,976 minutes of 92 defense
2,715 minutes of 90 defense
2,377 minutes of 71 defense
1,606 minutes of 66 defense

(backcourt)
2,504 minutes of 84 defense
3,682 minutes of 72 defense
1,432 minutes of 38 defense <~~~HERE'S YOUR CHANCE
254 minutes of 81 defense

Probably not quite Ben's 100-100-100 lineup but hey.

btw, Robusk, my lowest minute team was higher than your highest minute team. That doesn't really mean anything... but it might come in handy in certain scenarios.

Anybody with less than $70m salary? Anybody with higher than $76m?

I think most of mine were around $65 mil?

I had three $60M teams, one $65M, and one $56M
