I'll take his spot if he doesn't show and nobody else wants it.

well, i wasn't suggesting he be replaced at 2:30. that's too soon to replace I think. I was just saying that if it eventually comes to that in round 5 or so, then you'd be trying to find a replacement at that time. and it would be easier to find a replacement in round 5, if the owner who would be taking over had made the last 4 picks for their new team. anyone willing to take over the team if it comes to that. still hoping rmalle04 shows up and picks. but definitely easier to find a replacement if we have one in the wings and is the one who's making the back picks for rmalle04.

so let beloud make the back picks. and if rmalle shows by start of round 4 or 5, then it's still his team. otherwise, beloud takes over and has a chance to make something of the team building around ewing

beloud's back picks would prob be better than rmalles picks anyway, so it's a win win for everyone regardless of what happens.

Not a win for the guy now picking after beloud LOL

I have no problem with beloud jumping to make the picks, and at the very least being ready to take the team by round five. If we decide to vote perhaps the best thing is to completely stop the draft, push everything back by a day and start back then.

no vote. no stop the draft. commish is little napoleon. make it happin cap'n.

I don’t think we should pause the draft or push things back a day. Beloud is an awesome owner and person. He was first to volunteer so I think we let Beloud be the conditional new owner and make two picks for rmalle04 at 230pm if rmalle04 has not picked by then and would officially take ownership of the team in rd 5 if rmalle04 has not made picks by Friday at 230pm. Thanks for all your input. And I’m really earning the 9.95 commish credit.

Sorry for the delay.

who knows, maybe rmalle is the new nick for kona. "Malle" sounds like "Maili" which is a shoreline on Oahu and "Maalaea" which is a harbor town on Maui. I think I'm on to something here.

By the way, thanks to everyone who texted me to let me know I was up. I finally heard one.

You guys are putting forth some good problem solving ideas re Malle.

Draft years are 85/86 to 2000 right?

Can someone SM for me. I'm supposed to be working

In the draft room glow, where legends are made,
rmalle takes shape, spreadsheets carefully laid.
Across the screen drifts a tropical tone--
Kona, a breeze from an island throne.

Numbers clash like waves on volcanic stone,
Threes rain down, rebounds are sown.
rmalle plots value, precise and exact
Kona plays instinct, a surfer's attack

By season's end, in this fantasy fight,
Stats tell the story, the matchup is tight--
Two names, one league, bragging rights at stake:
rmalle and Kona, for basketball's sake.
