Rookie Beverley at 4.6 FGA is a pretty useable season as he played 33mpg in the playoffs and was a more experienced rookie.

It's ok bud I'm just messing. I wanted Battier but he would have been gone either way. Hoopsfan is essentially my nemesis now

We last minute decided to go on a camping trip and was driving for 10 hours only to arrive and see the fridge popped open and a dozen eggs broke on floor.

I didn't realize how annoying the category of top five non-all-star can be. Especially if you don't leave FGAs for it.

There are several high quality guys in the category, but you need to spend a little bit on them. Almost took a fairly the same price as Rasheed OKC big knowing this category can cause problems, but eventually just went with the better player. It's not like Detroit is really friendly in finding cheap rotation role players either.

Maybe I shouldn't have inserted the All NBA limitation there as well. It would have opened up Bogut for example.

Chet? I was about to take him but he is illegal due to 3 year rule.

I was considering the rule and asked for input but ended up not adding it
