no problem. It's still real early, but updates are always good. I have a team that's undefeated and a team that's winless. And the winless team is not what I thought my weakest team was. But at least I have 3 teams at the top of their division. (for the next 8 hours)

omaha is 3-1! haha

my beast kareem plays them at home tonight...im dreading what you might do to me on the glass that game

Sure, dBKC. Feel free to beat my 15-65ish team in the Salary Cap League, or my 6-24 Warriors in the DSPL. I won't even try to stop you, so happy B-Day...

As far as this league, I feel S2 should be 5 teams, all players, 13 picks. Maybe we can do votes, or DH can get SAVAGE and go dictator on us...

your savage dictator says...

definitely staying with 5 teams...definitely staying with 12 players

BUT...i do like the idea of a 13th round where you have the option to drop a player and draft a new one...gives a small bonus to the owners at the end of the draft


i dont really care too much about the bans on wilt/lebron/curry...i still think its a good idea but im fine with putting it to a vote

I like those three staying banned. 5 teams is what makes it. You are right; can’t be up for debate.

the 13th round is...interesting. Is it an advantage to go first in the 13th round though? I wonder how many dropped players would be selected?

What if we all drafted 13 guys with no drops? And you picked whatever 12 you wanted from those 13 for each team but you weren’t allowed to use any scrubs at all?...

This is exactly what I was talking about when I brought it up, but my wording might not have been great.

for jhsukow

Narrator Voice: 'What if I told you that in 1999 a group of sports enthusiast computer programmers from Cincinnati, Ohio got together and decided to build a website....? What if I told you about "WHAT IF SPORTS"?'

opening scene (camera on bosoxbill/Bill Simmons):...."so my cousin Sal tells me about this website for simulated sports games and I'm all like, 'what's a website'? 'what's a simulated sport? 'is there Boston players?'"

later scene (close up on Michael Jordan looking at a computer screen): "You're going to take Lebron before me? before me!?"

later scene (Bill Russell, looking directly at the camera, face in pain): "my defensive rating is what!?"

Interstitial/beat:({screen graphic in 'old west' style letters: "the ballad of seble and the monkee"} - the sounds of a six shooter as in a duel): shot opens on a computer screen, hands typing feverishly...

later scene (camera on Troy Murphy's perplexed face): " so wait, I was really good?

(I welcome any input or help as we build the script, we can edit the order of shots etc)

Oh.
my.
dear.
GOD.

I like that idea.

If we were drafting to those rules then people would have to make it work.

you could draft up to 5 4-season players and have the 13th man cover for all of them. You could draft 2 3-season players and 1 4-season player and stagger them and still use no scrubs.

nope not savage enough....no 13th round bailouts for players with less than 5 seasons...you gotta deal with the consequences if you wanna grab one of those guys early...thats all part of the strategy

remember when troy murphy had a 96 def rating? even he would laugh at that

Banning those three makes for slim pickings at the end of the first round. It’s actually significantly worse for the bottom teams than the top that they are banned and those teams are already at a disadvantage.

Savage idea... you have to pick 5 consecutive seasons instead of cherry picking every players 5 best. Although maybe that makes it too similar to a short term prog and less unique than it already is.

This league is basically perfect as is. Remove the ban from the three players and we are good. Run it once a year. I’m sure most everyone will be back.

I’d be down to do a draft right after this one is over. I love this league.
