Ok good. Thought I was the only one missing something.

My fault, I had posted two other draft picks and quickly changed them when I realized my list was outdated...

So does sly have Leonard or not? I don't see him picked on the list

Post #324 » by **sly** » Sun Sep 30, 2012 5:09 pm

yes, I have Leonard.

Really? If that's the case then why would getting an email make any difference?

Because that is one method most of us are consistently tuned into (email alerts.) Now it doesn't affect me, but I can envision a number of professions that either don't allow or give enough time for someone to go to a fantasy website. At least by getting the notification, you'll try and make time in the near future. There are some who follow and actually rely upon the rules.

not exactly related with the quote, but still on the same topic. for example I sent my list to WB and Curtis last night when because I wasn't going to be able to pick for the next 12 hours or so. I see that Curtis picked for me at 6.30 AM in our time, while I wouldn't have been able to do so until 10 AM

between 6.30 AM and 8.30 AM, 4 more picks were made, so me sending a list let the draft continue. That's what we are talking about.

I made that mistake last year.

Yeah, but isn't THIS the year that Thomas is supposed to break out?

capoltorta · Post #333 » by **capoltorta** » Mon Oct 1, 2012 5:10 pm

Alright, I guess I deserve that. Apprently he put on some muscle, but I'm certainly not tied to him, just want to see how the Mullens/Thomas position battle shakes out. If they want any shot at dumping him, they need to showcase him a bit, right.

hailfire4 · Post #334 » by **hailfire4** » Mon Oct 1, 2012 5:33 pm

Let the hype machine begin on Tyrus Thomas. He is the highest paid player on the Bobbycats. That must mean he is not only the future he is the now. great steal Cap.

I think I speak for all gm's in this league when I say that we have all been there with Tyrus.

Sadly, Gokce, you're right.

Here is my safe and boring squad. After 2 years of going Dwight Howard build in the last 2 years (playoffs both years), I decided to shake things up this year. Build it like a roto-squad theme. Let's see how it goes.

sabonis · Post #338 » by **sabonis** » Mon Oct 1, 2012 11:53 pm

F: Hedo Turkoglu
C: Chris Kaman
C: Brook Lopez

BN: Al-Farouq Aminu
BN: Terrence Ross

Solid team not taking their brittleness into consideration. Curry will snap his ankles again, Wade might be limited, kaman is already down, plus huge question marks from Roy and Brook. If they find a way to be healthy though, this is one scary contending team

hailfire4 · Post #340 » by **hailfire4** » Tue Oct 2, 2012 12:36 am

I think every team has an injury concern or two. I have Bogut, the frye guy, the Rubio Rose tag team, Wall are just 4. Eric Gordon's knee, Kaman's back, Curry's ankle, Wade's knee are in the news just today. When u go 224 deep u will have questions and thin spots. Once the teams are inputted into Yahoo we can import the league to BBM and get numerical evaluations. every team looks good right now very nice jobs of drafting. We started Sep 3 and today is Oct 1 so almost exactly 1 month.
