Hey real quick. Does anyone mind answering a question for me? Assists - the step function - is that in 5s or 10s?
Like is 85 better than 80? Or is the next step not until 90? Thanks

Never been completely confirmed but I believe it is 10% steps until 100, and then it goes up by 20% steps.

Thanks! So basically I get the same effect from 89.5 as 80.1?

I’m pretty positive. Admin has never confirmed exactly what the steps are, and my testing has been with too small a sample size to be sure, but it seems very likely that the steps are 10% until 100.

what's a reasonable length of time to get teams in for the savage? I missed part one, and am deeply tinkering to try to get something together. Curious if I'm an a-hole for being later today (amongst other things) or tomorrow for final submit.

Well I’m on vacation and DH already said I can wait to build when I get back, which will be Monday so I’ll probably get mine in on Tuesday - so I can be the a-hole and buy you guys a little time if you want.

when will all-defensive teams be announced?

Haven’t said yet but some time during the second round is my best guess.

Okay, I finished building these god forsaken teams. Will enter them in the league tomorrow and hope the good ones get paired with the weak divisions.

Ashamael.....I want to apologize for my verbal bashing of you during this draft. First time, when I was frustrated by the lack of picks on a Saturday, I began going off on you on beer number 3 and by the time we were both spent in words, I was on beer number 11 or 12. Then, when I honestly felt you were WAY too tough on bds, I felt like I had to double down on my vitriol against you. I shoulda stayed out of it quite frankly. I just didn't like how you totally ripped into bds and felt like backing him. bds has since told me that I basically shoulda stayed out of it and he didn't need anyone to defend him. So, apologies to bds as well as ash.

I am not emotionally unstable or anything, and I am sorry for overreacting a COUPLE times during this draft. I am a former sports radio talk show host, and I could probably be good friends with ALL of you guys if we were sitting on bar stools next to each other somewhere.

And robusk, sorry I told you to kiss my ***. It wouldn't be hard since my *** seems to be getting bigger every day with this damn covid ****, with my gym being closed since March! Anyways, I'm sorry if I offended anyone this draft!

Actually, to psycho-analyze myself even more, I think the reason it bothers me when NO ONE comments on anything I say is because I am used to throwing out sports radio topics and having people call in to my show to react. Not having that anymore leaves just this as my outlet for that. So, not getting any feedback leaves me kinda empty.

No worries, man - Apology accepted & appreciated. Good luck this season!

Thanks ash! I said some things to you that I feel terrible about, so that means a lot to me. Heat of the moment kinda stuff, but that's no excuse. I appreciate it!

pharrop - Giannis Antetokounmpo, Rudy Gobert, Manu Ginobili, Bob McAdoo, Mike Conley, Andrew Bynum, Chris Webber, Kirk Hinrich, Nick Anderson, Rudy Gay, George Hill, Elmore Smith

Good evals Ash, but any team with 3 of my players from last season and two look a likes (Conley worse vs of Lowry and Elmore Smith with Caldwell Jones) can't be tier 1. I know many are in love the new Giannis - but I don't see how a team with two of the first 3 picks have crazy low minute seasons. This squad will be running out Webber and.... Hill/Hinrich/Gay as often as they have Giannis and Manu.

I think I agree. The best version of this team should win the championship 4 out of 5 times, but I think the other four teams won’t have enough.

Will get my teams in tonight. Excited to get the season started.

All good souls in this league. Much respect and affection to y'all. I probably won't have all my teams in until sometime tomorrow, but it shouldn't be later than that.

I'm hoping to have more than one team in the playoffs this season, but I'm much less confident about competing for a title than I was the first time around. We'll see how much I end up having to rely on the deep end of the bench.

Take your time getting your teams in. I am really starting to like this group and everyday I wake up, they are still undefeated.
