Things I'd change if I had it over again:

Take one of the top guys (Shaq, Hakeem, Michael, Larry sorts)

leave the second tier alone to preserve money.

Attack the third tier, bargain hunt.

Use remaining money on depth/versatility.

I'm thinking of starting the clock at 7 EST. It will be a four hour clock.

Post #143 » by **CellarDoor** » Mon Dec 28, 2009 11:52 pm

I'd say 4 hours starting at 8pm, ending at midnight

or 4 starting at 7, ending at 11. the punch line is that anything beyond bids already in that haven't been challenged have some extra time overnight.

It pains my heart to say this, so I'll just out with it I guess.

I think Billups is a tad overrated.

That's eerily the exact opposite of what I did.

I came very close to being in the same boat when I was ready to give up on getting Larry Legend.

I finally caved on a 21 million bid (largely as a preventive measure to keep a Bird/Shaq duo from happening).

How is he being rated?

I've got him as a solid 2nd option, clutch scorer with above average defense, good size, great shooting, and not a complete need to handle the ball.

Give me some credit, my starting five is A LOT different than my usual teams.

Yeah, it's actually half decent for once.

Gremz, post more at the Pacers board, dammit. I need you to show those knuckleheads how it's done.

Is there a date set for when voting will begin?

TMac wanted easy wins so he placed himself with me in the division. Uncool.

Post #155 » by **CellarDoor** » Sat Jan 2, 2010 6:09 am

Yeah, he done screwed up and put me in his conference though. Tisk tisk.

The above sentence makes no sense. Why would you being in his conference screw up his chances?

You've gone up from obnoxious disturbance to annoying commentator in my book, Gremz. Congratulations.

Any slim chance that you would have gotten one just evaporated because you asked.

Any slim chance that you had of advancing evaporated when I got put in your division Miller.
