Thanks to everyone who voted in favor of allowing me to keep my picks of Greg Anthony and Brent Barry.

Actually, you're skating all over the prepositions! "This is too retarded to which to respond." you're killing me smalls

LOL... actually, watson, it goes like this: 'too retarded to respond to' or... 'too retarded in which to respond...'

Oh. Kill me for adding an extra o on the last 'to'. I know what is correct and what isn't. It's called an innocent mistake. I'd much rather make an error while typing in a rush than have a flawed thought process. My points have been made. If you still think NC should have to keep the pick he didn't even make, I feel sorry for you and hope u eventually learn to think reasonably.

Draft should have stopped the instant the replica player was recognized in his proxy and stayed that way till the situation is rectified or his time slot is over.  If he doesn't respond immediately, sorry, that's what we have time slots for.  Also, It's a holiday, so give people a break.  Proxies are used out of consideration for the other owners in most cases.  Had you guys not done the right thing, he would have been ****** for being considerate.  This is one reason why I've never been pushy about people using proxies.  You lose some strategic elements by using them.  MInd you, I did use them out of consideration & respect to other owners, but I would sometimes only send one guy with the disclaimer of: "If this guy is picked, I'll make my own selection by my slotted time."  If that's a problem for the other 23 owners, well, deal with it.  It keeps things like this from happening, messing up a draft and getting feathers needlessly ruffled.

I've never seen a situation like this.  Personally, had I been the one receiving & posting the proxy AND I noticed that one of the players was already picked, I would have posted, "One of <insert owner here> proxies has already been selected.  I've sitemailed him so he can re-pick" and would have posted neither proxy.  Double rounds are pretty important strategically and often those two picks only make sense together.  The person posting the proxy does have some responsibility here.  However, if they don't notice a proxy is drafted and it is an honest mistake (as is CLEARLY the case here!), well then, there should be no worries, as long as the draft stops immediately.

Like it should have ... at least until his time slot is over.  When in doubt, think about how you'd want to be treated in the situation.  It's Christmas for crying out loud.


(Before the obligatory "who asked you?" is asked: I was sitemailed by someone in the league who was interested in my opinion and wondered if I had ever seen anything like this, being a bit of a vet of draft leagues.  I told them basically what I said here.)

Merry Christmas, by the way. Or Happy Holidays if you celebrate something different!  Good luck to all in this league.  It looks like a lot of fun.

Thank you!!! At least one person here can think logically.

Damn the Baron Davis pick! had to redo my scrubs haha glad everything worked out, cant wait for the league!

I think he did make the Dorell Wright pick. We didn't make that up, but I really don't care that much about the dispute, seeing as it no longer affects me. What I do care about is you calling me or anything of mine "retarded." Come on. Grow up. What are we, in the 5th grade? There are people who are developmentally disabled, and I'm not one of them. I don't have to prove that to you, but as far as being reasonable goes, it's unreasonable to use that word in any situation. Think about it; it's just a word. Pick a different one so I, as well as people who are actually affected by a disorder, don't get mad at you.

I hope we can all agree two vote "no."

Just because this league is over doesn't mean it's life as usual. You can take on a new cast of victims (I mean team owners) by joining another league.
