Um, Jordan, did you just spend 1300 on Salmons and Barnes? wow.

Post #43 » by **Stanford** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:39 pm

Both former Sixers. Must be something to that

Post #44 » by **Stanford** » Thu Aug 14, 2008 10:41 pm

After an hour of research, no. Theres nothing to that

wow...a Coady sighting before the last week of bids and everyone else's money is gone...could this be a sign of things to come.

We can probably remove Dan Dickau from the next round of bidding, since he just signed a contract in the Euroleague...that way we can move up J Oneal...

Salmons is a sleeper IMO and could be worth more than the $900.

Barnes I am also kinda high on, playing in Phoenix, and with an aging roster.

Time will tell, but I clearly remember Brian and Gokce saying I could be a consolation championship contender. Result - I came 4th, Brian came last, and Gokce missed the playoffs.

And I came first, so I win.

Consolation championship contender = 7th...you got 3 spots higher. I wouldn't say I was too far off, especially since a lucky trade or even an injury can make the difference.

and, btw, I never predicted I would win. I blew my money on the lead singer of Weezer, I mean Hinrich.

Har Har.

First grade humor aside, Stanford's drafting strategy last year was brilliant as he waited until the end and drafted all the good players when no one else had any money left. Hopefully, it won't work this year.

So YS and I made exactly the same bit and I lost by a couple of hours?

Talk about timing :wordyo:

Shouldn't everyone else be doing it? I mean it worked last year... You'd be a fool not to try it, right?

The only reason it worked for you is that most of the big name guys didn't come up until the end, and guys like YS drove the value of the earlier players up. So far, only one of those conditions has stayed true to form (thanks YS).

Pretty much. You lost by about 9 hours.

Haven't you noticed the only people actually winning any players so far?

How did T-Mac go for that much?!

Gutted that I missed getting into Round 2 for Wade though.

Forget Tmac, how did Durant go for almost 2K?

And...what exactly do you mean by "gutted"...is that a New Zealander thing?
