Screen Name Game (Non-Draft)

Did as well as I could by Kareem, given my paltry group of letters. Michael Ray is a guy I have always wanted to draft.

I think OG is on 6 of 9 teams.

Hey guys!! Hope you all are doing well. It's been a minute (actually years) since I have played. I came up with something pretty quickly for this one as I had the time. We shall see how it goes!

It’s inevitable that certain highly portable players will end up on multiple teams.

I think part of that was the restrictions. AK47 is probably the best All Star who didn’t make All-League. He’d be on more teams if K was more popular.

How do we decide this?

Crap, I forgot. Will do it shortly.

Funny, I liked my team but didn't have high expectations of where it would be ranked. I probably wasn't factoring in how much everyone else was restricted by the rules.

You had the best player, one of the best non-multi-first guys who fit ideally with LeBron, and hands down the best non All Star. You also had generally a set of letters to get you the ideal pieces around LeBron. You skipped an all star spot and didn’t even need it. Of course you did well.

Are you able to post the rankings when you get a chance? I’m curious how they were. I imagine them to be close.

Should I have taken any of these teams over Porter/peak Drexler/Smith/Tucker/Hakeem

Porter/Roy or Richmond/O'Neale/Durant/Thurmond

Porter/Klay/Iguodala/Ibaka/Hakeem or Shaq

Porter/Richmond/Iguodala/Tucker or Ibaka/Hakeem or Shaq

I felt like I was close to having the winning hand with potent talent and fit combo of Hakeem, Drexler and Porter for this game but with Iguodala not fitting Drexler, Porzingis being Porter's letter and Durant/Thurmond frontcourt meaning sacrificing Drexler, the plan didn't quite come together.

Good to go.

Welp. A fun exercise nonetheless.

At least Fade liked it. :lol:

That makes 2 of us I guess.

Oh man, my team did not do so shabby (it’s just the rust after playing in years

). Anyways, thanks to the participants who voted for me. Also, thanks for hosting and running it, Laimbeer.

It’s crazy that these games have been going on for almost 9 years now with 400+ games. Reaching 500 games in ten years would be quite the feat! Hope you all keep playing and reach that. Have fun..take care!

I was the only team with zero point!!!

Very curious if anyone could have built a better team.
