TWIST DRAFT - ROSTERS and TRADES (Final trade rules posted)

[CellarDoor]

Roster (this includes my announced trade)
AI/Kirk/Foye/Williams/Westbrook
KMart/Kirk/Williams/Westbrook
Granger/Dunleavy/
Duncan/Okur/Millsap
Okur/Zo/Foyle/

Hm, I think that's everyone through the first trade. I will say this much in regards to future trades. You'd have to floor me for Granger, KMart, or Kirk. Duncan is as close to untouchable as you get, I like Okur's fit, but in the right package he could be offloaded. Foye and Williams are available for the right price, and I'm starting to like AI more by the minute.

Oh, and Dunleavy can jump off a bridge if you provide an adequate back-up 3 in some fashion

[-MK-]

OK, this the third time for me to suggest this(hope you answer this time... : ) ), but what about a possibility to waive players in the end and pick up undrafted players that way? That seems realistic to me...

That seems reasonable enough to me.

4. Dropping a player and signing another player is prohibited. Only one drop allowed per team. (ie. A team can drop a player they do not want on their roster but they cant sign a replacement for it)

So you changed your mind?

[CellarDoor]

BullsCubsBears and CellarDoor have agreed to a trade in principal. Due to league rules the trade can not go through until the draft is over and they will draft for each other.
CellarDoor trades/BullsCubsBears receives: Elton Brand, 04 pick # 12
BullsCubsBears trades/CellarDoor receives: 04 pick # 5, 05 pick #4

Calderon can we get this officially approved now? It breaks down to this:
Cellardoor out/BullsCubsBears in:: Brand, Josh Childress
BullsCubsBears out/CellarDoor In: Kevin Martin, Danny Granger

Thanks

[CellarDoor]

Also, since there is a four trade limit instead of two I will go ahead and announce the details of my deal with Jud's Buchlers:
Cellardoor out/Jud's Buchlers in: Lewis, Noah, Westbrook, Foyle
Jud's Bucherlers out/Cellardoor in: Pryzbilla, Millsap, Alexander, McCants

Jud's can you please review that? I lost my correspondence from it, so I'm going off of memory and the team I should have, lol

Edited to include a swap I forgot. Bolded is the edited part

[CellarDoor]

Roster key:
Red: nearly untouchable
Orange: valuable to me
Blue: neutral
Green: actively listening to offers

And last, my current roster:
Iverson/Hinrich/Foye/Williams
Martin/Hinrich/Williams/McCants
Granger/Dunleavy/Alexander
Duncan/Okur/Millsap/Alexander
Okur/Pryzbilla/Mourning

Sorry but yes i did change my mind.

1. I think that the rule that says you can pick up players who have not been previously drafted in their year is unfair. It completely favors those who have late picks in the later drafts. Picking at the end of say 1999, that person didn't have the same opportunity as someone who had the last pick in 2007. Not fair.

2. I think we should have a trading period. I am pretty set with my roster but I think only a couple days of trading is necessary.

3. What is your email calderon? I have a couple trades to get approved.

I'm validating this trade... Calderon, can you approve this please? Then I'll update my roster. Thanks.

Bolded part is seconded. It's even further skewed with the adjustment that people can't pick up players. Especially if people were gameplanning around that when you said that they could.

I agree I dont think its fair to change a rule that could have affected the picks made after all the drafting is done.

I also agree. I think dropping one player and picking one up is harmless.

The only problem there is deciding who gets priority if two people claim the same player, which probably will happen.

I think being the first to post would be difficult. A lot of people are busy now with school coming back and other reasons. Like for you, MK, for example. You are in a different time zone... what if the rules are re-posted while you're asleep but we're awake? I agree that we will need to figure out a way to resolve this. It might have to end up being the first person that posts... but let's brainstorm other ways.

[MJallday59]

The Orlando Magic will send

Greg Oden
AK-47

Cleveland will send

Mike Beasley
Rudy Gay

[bullscubsbears]

how about doing a random picking like we did for the picks. As long as its calderon there should be no problem.
