Hey, Miller's one of the guys who has beaten me before.

And he managed to convince people Paul freakin Millsap was going to beat me with his post offense.


I'm not giving him an inch.

Maybe All In The Name. But it looks to be his first competition.

"whooped"? Our competition took like two weeks to be decided. We had to bring in outsiders.

You've got to admit, in the realm of fantastic match-ups, our teams were about as sweet as you get.

And yes, I'm going to screw you. Hard. With no foreplay.

^Yep, just thougth we were in trash talking mode.

That matchup really was amazing. Great start to my experience on this board, and as I said in Build a Team, I've been eyeing a rematch ever since.

No foreplay? :(

^Oh I'm fine with trash talking, just nipping your revisionist history in the ass before it gets too far.

And I'll be the dick that's raising all of your guys.

I think we're going to roll with the idea that it'd sort of be a free for all in whom you could nominate and put a minimum bid on, but for the sake of less clutter, every GM can only bid up to two minimum contracts at a time.

Once everyone is at a point where they cannot offer more than a minimum contract, it will be a draft, likely generated randomly, or by amount of capspace used the quickest, slowest, etc. Still to be announced.

I'm an advocate of waiting a while til we see activity from other GMs before starting a clock. As always though, I'm cool with something that gives me an advantage.

Yeah, I'm generally with what Cellar said, have a sort of "warning" period that this round started, then start a clock, when there's enough activity.

Damn...cat's out of the bag. Or rather, the chipmunk?

I'll get you back if (IF) you ever (for some strange reason) come to (why the hell would you?) the Pacers board.
