Yeah think Richard Jefferson is going to be on a lot of owners wish list

Great timing, Jerry!

We're now officially full. Thanks, everyone, for such a rapid sign-up process. This is a great group of owners, as always, but also (in my opinion) the most diverse and bizarre collection of Joes we've seen yet. Kudos to everyone for digging deep into basketball history and picking out the obscure, the unsung, and the forgotten legends. There are a handful of interesting gems, and some serious albatrosses.

I've got a busy work day ahead of me but I'll find time here and there to process the Joes - sorting bigs from smalls, double-checking to make sure they all meet the requirements (which I've been trying to do as we go but y'never know), and then stuffing them all into the randomizer.

Hopefully by day's end I'll be able to post the Joe assignments. At that point (the read 'em and weep or cheer moment), everyone can offer their analysis. Be careful about naming players who shoulda-coulda been on either list, so that you don't offer free tips about overlooked studs.

Once the Joes are distributed, I'll sitemail a league number and then we'll be in business.

Thanks again, everyone.

Just realized Josh Smith exceeds the Joe salary ceiling. I've just sitemailed thehalls asking him to submit a replacement. (Another Joe, another Smith...)

Okay, while waiting for the Josh Smith replacement I've realized all the Joes check out except for an arguable case of Danny Granger.

shap clearly intended Granger as one of his "small" submissions, but young Danny is 100% at PF and not at SG for his most expensive season. This makes Granger a "big" based on the rules of the opening post. i'll sitemail shap asking him to post a replacement.

(Sorry to nitpick about these things, but most of us will be shafted as it is by the hand we're dealt so I'd rather be a stickler about the rules at the front end.)

Thanks for all your hard work LTB.

sub granger w/Rafer Alston

thanks, ltb!

Cool, thanks!

It's like early on Christmas morning . . .

Larry Smith is already listed as a Pro, so I think you will need to pick again.

Correct. Thanks for the catch, sweg.

Hang in there, everyone, we're on the brink...

Sammy Smith? This would be embarassing except I do it all the time.

Looks like we're good to go with Sammy Smith.

All Joes check out (I think). I'll start a separate thread for purposes of distributing the Joes and allowing everyone to sound off about them.
