I uhh, err... Can't edit this.

I'm alive!

here is my preseason analisys and all i can say about it is: it's impressive

e-dubb
i don't like the fact that this team has too many injury risks, even without williams' and oden's issues. rebs and blk are going to take huge hit with oden out, jon is your only other shot bloker, that's not enough, i don't think you'll beat anyone who didn't tank them completely. it seems to me you tried to stay competitive in all cats, but in process you spread your strengths too thin. without wade you lose ast and stl not to mention pts,
without jon(he is bound to get injured at some point) reb and pts. your %s aren't great either. 3ptm is weakness too. you need to pick up a center for rotation purposes. i'm afraid you'll end up in bottom 4 again

i hammered this one

Young_Star11
i think you could have gotten more for lbj. you'll be very good at blk, to and stl, 3 very difficult cats, but very week at ast, pts and reb 3ptm will be around average. i believe you'll be above average in fg% if durant doesn't ruin you there(i'm still not sure what to expect from him). ft% will proly be below average unless durant can give you dirk-like numbers. all in all i just don't think you have the firepower to win enough matchups to go into play-offs, but at least you'll lose with style, taking those difficult cats most of the time. i'd have to say you end up in bottom 4

bottom 4 prediction came through and most of my team analisys

nostradamus2005
reb, ast and pts are big strengths, but you'll lose to every week. i don't think you'll be able to beat many teams in 3ptm though you're not terrible. fg% and blk will be ok, but unless lbj and d-how continue to shoot free throws like they did in the preseason you won't be very good here. they are the guys who hurt you the most so it's completely up to them to determin your team's faith in this cat. you should be ok in stl esspecially if some of your late picks pan out. i think you need some mrore blocks to complete this team. you have good chance of making play-offs

another one hammered

-Ducky-
should be strong at ast, pts, good at 3ptm, average at reb, stl and ft%(you have kobe to thank for that). tanked fg% and blk and probably going to be well below average in to. bench is strong, azubuike and magloire could turn into major steals, but that doesn't change the fact that it will be hard to win higher then 6-3 most of the time. also there are quite a few injury riks among high picks so i'm not too optimistic about play-offs

mistakes over come cats were made, but overall i nailed another one

sacstar16
%s should both be above average and assists are clear stregnth. stl and 3ptm(will depend on navarro here) should be respectable. to and pts depend a lot on several players with huge upside(ty thomas, scola, brewer, navarro and garcia) but either way at least one of those 2 cats will be good. reb and blk will be weak though. this team is play-offs candidate though it has no top 20 players thanks to good balance, many players who should outperform their last years numbers and rookies who should contribute straight away which is impressive on it's own, but i wouldn't bet on it making play-offs

1st one i got wrong; while i predicted he won't make the play-offs i didn't predict 14th place in the standings

east
here's another team with huge upside and solid balance. bosh and roy are having some injury issues during preseason, but hopefully they'll be good for the season start. stl is a weakness but everything else should be average or better. if injuries bypass it's top players i'd have to say this team is 1st contender so far. 4 best players complement eachother perfectly and midrounders fit in great too. late rounders have huge upside. horford and maxiel could prove to be huge steals, while pavlovic and j.r. smith look like wasted roster spots at this moment, lowry, blatche and webster all look like potential steals too. this draft was handeled just the way i like it, my compliments east

other then that steals thing i owned this one

kkranks
this is very well balanced team, tos would be greatest problem if it weren't for the fact that he has 2 of top-10 injury risks. if camby goes down blocks take a huge hit, if baron goes down stl and ast cats suffer too much. also i don't think there is enough high volume good fg% shoters to compensate for davis, j-rich and j-will. ray allen and zack randolph are in new situations and we can't be sure how will they do. if all risks pan out this team is contender, but chances of that happening are very small. i just don't like having this many risksy top players on one team. depending on how healthy your team stays you can end up anywhere between contender and lottery

all injury prone players had nice seasons, b-dave and camby most of all, and this team still couldn't do better then 10th so i guess i was wrong on this one

KalElen
i reached for few guys but overall i think my team is preatty balanced. fg% will be my main weakness. stl won't be a strength nor will tos. rest of the cats should be above average. i probably could have gotten good rookie round or 2 later so i hope green gets pt right away. not enough upside on roster for my taste. i'd say i'm in the running for play-offs but will have hard time making it.

i guess i underestiamted my team, had arenas not get injured i would have been in the play-offs, i really did magnificent job without him in a league this deep and though this is one of my worst records i'm still proud on what i did here

Rove
should be good on ast, 3ptm and ft% and solid on fg%. best player will miss most of the season so it's huge disadvantage which puts him out of the running for the play-offs. brend's reb and blk will be sorely missed. and now morrison is out too. stl and pts are lost cause, and i don't think zo and krstic can carry a team in blk more then 1-2 weeks a year. tos should be solid, but not great thanks to nash. reb will be below average too. your late picks are just to average to make up for brand's absence. anything better then bottom 4 is great for this team

another bullseye, not that this one was hard

AlciG
i love this team's young studs. blks and stls are in the bag. ast and tos will be above. average. but i'm afraid that's it for this team as i don't like the supporting cast. you'll be lucky to get anything out of your starting pf and your 5 bench players. rebs won't be great, but can be around average. %s, pts and 3ptm will all be bellow average, so i don't think you'll be able to make play-offs. your keepers are great, maybe even best in the league, but i'd say you had a terrible draft which will leave you in 8-12 range

bullseye

fraanciiscoo
he has huge upside. he tanked fg% inspite having dirk, but rest of it will be good. ast, pts, reb, ft%, blk, to, 3ptm should all be average or better, stl is strength. he has 3-4 players who could bust out and give him great value from relativly late picks. all in all he has great balance so, i would say this is another contender

almost bullseye, i was wrong about tos

Woody Allen
another team i don't like. there is a nice core, but i don't think supporting cast is wisely chosen. reb, blk, pts should be great, fg% and 3ptm should be solid. ast, to, stl and ft% are weak. i don't see how can team that tanks 4 cats hope to make play-offs. there is upside on the roster, but even if all of it pans out this remains a team that tanked 4 cats. 8-12 ange

i was very wrong about this team; bynum's injury might have costed him play-offs(i expected yao's injury), so this is one of my few mistakes

insfo
ast, stl, 3ptm, ft% are all good. pts and blk will be around average. reb will proly be slightly below average as wil to. he tanked fg%. ovearll i like this team, it has both balance needed to compete in 16-teamer and upside picks. i believe it is in good position to make the play-offs. i doubt hawes will be of much help this season though

overall i've slightly underestimated his team, but mostly i got it

Chicken Soup
as much as i like starters i don't like bench players. this team will be more or less around or above average in almost everithyng. to will be only real weakness while assits and steals should be well above average. i just can't stress enough how much i don't like the bench. it's among 2-3 worst in the league and that's too bad. with better bench it would be contender, this way it will be fighting for play-offs.

mostly got it right though i didn't actually expect him to make the play-offs

TheTorontoGM
and another good team with bad bench. this team has good balance over 7 cats. ast are especially impressive considering the top contributer is iguadala and no pg averaged more then 4.14 last year. 2 weak cats will be to(for obvious reasons) and blk(gasol and amare on their own are not enough). may's injury hurts too and rookie Sean Williams hasn't showed his shot blocking so far. another potential play-off team

bullseye

Stanford
good small ball team(ast, 3ptm, stl, ft%) with solid pts, around or slightly below average reb, fg% and to. he is among rare teams who could take curry's ft%. if varejao doesn't come to terms with cavs(and considering his 54mil demand it's not too likely it will happen) stanford will need another center. blk will be below average. herrman could become steal of the draft after injuries to morrison and may opened up pt for him. overall nice balance and nice upside accros the team. defenetly another play-off contender

i thing i did good job on this team

Good calls Kal-Ellen.

Who do you think takes it all?

east wrote:Good calls Kal-Ellen.

Who do you think takes it all?

i think it's way too late to give any meaningful prognosis, since half of the championship week has passed, but i'll say this(maybe it's even obvious from my analisys) i liked your team best at the start of the season, so if i had to choose one of you last sunday i would have chosen you

Job well done KalElen.


When can we start trading?
I hate offseason

thanks AlciG

congrats to east on winning it all and proving me right:)

anyways i think we are free to start trading right away
all of my players are available and i have bunch of rookies. don't hope to get arenas on a discount though, as far as he is concerned this season never happened

btw i created Drive to the Finals and bracketology leagues
leag name: fanball league

everybody is welcome to join

Hey Kal, I'm interested in Arenas.

If anyone wants to talk trade hit me on AIM and MSN.

AIM: channingsfries
MSN: xxchr1snyxx@xxhotmail.com
remove the X's hehe

I'm debating whether or not I stay in this league.

Durant's coming into form, which is encouraging.

I guess I will make my decision after the draft (or before it, so the new manager can work their magic with it).

Who won?

Jason Terry
Maurice Evans
Damien Wilkins
Brandan Wright
Al Harrington
Nene Hilario
Dwight Howard
Andrew Bogut
Javaris Crittenton
Allen Iverson
Devin Harris
Nick Young
Reggie Evans
LeBron James
Paul Millsap

I have quite a bit of interesting players.I have Dwight and Bron as untouchables.I have 4 more keeper worthy players in Iverson,Devin Harris,Andrew Bogut and Jason Terry.So I'll be listening offers for them.Terry is the easiest to get whereas Iverson is the hardest.

Also I have some rookies whom I could send to anyone interested.Nick Young,Brandan Wright and Javaris Crittenton can be all had for a decent price.

Email me if you are interested at gokcemalexxx@xxxhotmail.com

rookies:

Daequan Cook(i picked him up on 4/16, but for some reason he's not on my roster so i just want to make that clear)

all my players are available, but obviously for those i'm considering keeping i'll want more in return. i won't make my decision about rookie keeper before nba draft so green or moon will be especially hard to get before that time. and i'll repeat this one more time to avoid any misunderstandings, i will not trade away arenas if i don't get top 5 young player in return (maybe top 10, but i would require incentives in that case)
