btw I don't know if I've seen a single thread (at least in the basketball side of things) have 73 pages. Think we can get to 100 by the end of the season?!

I would expect we continue to post here all season. 100 seems almost a lock before out of conference games.

This is my plan for sure.

I'm sure you guys will figure this out on your own, but in reality I had a 1a and a 1b team.

One has 96-97 Malone, 17-18 Jokic, 12-13 Ibaka, 09-10 Boozer and 16-17 Iguodala. Also 91-92 Hornacek and 12-13 Calderon.

The other has 89-90 Malone with 16-17 Jokic, 16-17 Ibaka, 06-07 Boozer and 18-19 Iguodala (one of the two 90 D Golden State versions).

The first one got stuck in the same conference with the best Whiteside/Olajuwon combo, Duncan/Mutombo, Amare/Kareem, near peak Dwight/Ben, and 13-14 Durant for ***** and giggles.

There are front lines that will get beat by Jokic and Karl. Suffice it to say the four above are not what I had in mind.

Although the first is my highest eFG% team, the second has a much easier league/draw. I guess it's my best team now. Really starting to wonder if my fourth Jokic team will hold up but that's the price of trying for three legit contenders. I had three clear best Jokic and Karl seasons, and I wanted them together. The two best Zelmo seasons ended up on the other squads.

My biggest regret right now is not beefing up the fourth squad. We'll see.

DH's teams in the two leagues we're paired up in the same division as are ******* frightening.

Karl won't have any fun with Dwight and Ben in one of those divisions, but 09 Okafor and Muresan? Yum!

well...divisions are out...didnt quite turn out as i had hoped but i still think its better than random...maybe we can tweak it some more next time

just looking at my divisions...i have 11 owners twice, 3 once, and 9 not at all

thrilled to miss out on kinoa and ben...but sad to see ash and dbkc twice

I was going to write a quick script for this but then 20ks offered to do it and people liked his stuff... I mean I had enough on my plate so I was happy to pawn it off. Next time around I can take it on.

Yeah, if I had taken a little more time, obviously a few of the non matchups could have been arranged. With this I got to a point where my goal was more to limit the amount of multiple (3x) pairings and in an effort to put out a finished product, I did not do the extra legwork needed to make changes that didn't create similar problems in different places.

It certainly fits the idea of random in that if you only get paired up with one owner twice, it makes a huge difference who it is.

It was all done with paper and pencil. I am positive a program could be created to smooth it out better.

I have a tendency in life to get overextended by saying yes to everything. So I am very appreciative for what you did.

Neither of those guys should ever end up on the Mailman. He should be facing an 80 defender most of the time and at worst a 69.

That's also my 2nd worst defensive team. Weighted average of 66.1

ah - true. I insist that you let Muresan guard PFs though - a) because it's good for me, and b) because everyone seemingly doesn't have the stones for it and I appreciate the idea of having your best defenders on the other team's best offensive players, even if you have to give up 20 pts to a low usage guy.

Yeah, the core of my front court is all 97%+ effective at SF-C, so I can almost always have my two best front court defenders guarding their best front court offensive players with almost no negative. I'm also never worried about putting a dude who's 90% effective at a position there defensively. Also 62 defense doesn't exactly suck.

Which league is the one everyone is claiming is the stacked one?

I would say league 3 looks pretty stacked. Really wanted to switch my Omaha team over to there after I saw the lineups.

I think my best teams are in leagues 2, 5, and 4 in roughly that order. The one in league 1 is probably the worst. But like I said before, nothing between 35-50 wins would surprise me for any of the teams. This is a completely new experience, and it's so hard to tell exactly what everyone's rotation would be.

The fact that I'm saying that the team in League 2 may be the best is funny, because it's the one where I'm starting Durant at the 2, which I said I didn't want to do. And it's probably the lowest on assists of all my teams. But the 2/3 rotation for that team is 12/13 Durant and the monster 18/19 Harrell season starting, backed up by the 60% efg, 96-97 Mullin. With solid Unseld and Chandler seasons in the posts. Defense is the only thing that can drag that team down, it starts three 70+ defenders but no one over 80.
