Bish I know we've all said this a million times, but you're a madman and a saint. How you've put up with all of this for nine years is truly remarkable. Personally this BAF has kept me on the board for years now as I stopped posting almost entirely, that's all thanks to you.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread- the Lakers are on the clock until 8AM
I believe that everything is up to date but please check your team pages as well as your draft pages to make sure all players, both drafted and traded, appear where they should. Make sure that all draft picks have been moved to the proper teams as well. If you see anything incorrect, let me know.
At the conclusion of the draft tomorrow evening, teams will still be able to make moves until Friday night. On Friday night, there will be a roster freeze so that the FA destination rankings can be calculated. FA will probably not begin for a few weeks to be determined by my work schedule and when I can purchase my new laptop.
Heading offline for the rest of the night, I will be working early and will update anything that comes in overnight in the AM. Have my daughters moving up ceremony so I know there will be a few hours midday that I won't be online. Please continue to send in your board when your team is on the clock with as many picks as necessary.
