FFDL [draft starts this Saturday!]

Post #261 » by **Young_Star11** » Tue Sep 8, 2009 9:42 am

Do I just not learn? A year after falling for a project in Jerryd Bayless, I take another Arizona alum, Jordan Hill. I make the tough decision to drop Carl Landry, a Houston Rocket, and a great bench player who is a great finisher...kinda like a 6'8 Amare. However, he is already 26, and his ceiling isn't Amare-high, but I hope he finds his way on another team.

Anyway, IMO Landry is like a floor for what Hill can accomplish in the NBA, and I am hoping for perhaps a bit more. Funnily enough, D'Antoni sees some Amare in him. To add further to this, Amare was the first player to grace my roster...

My team now looks like this:

PG - Jameer Nelson
SG - J.R. Smith
G - Jose Calderon
G - Delonte West
SF - Thaddeus Young
PF - Anthony Randolph
F - Blake Griffin (#1)
F - Luis Scola
C - David Lee
C - Chris Kaman
BN - Courtney Lee
BN - Aaron Brooks
BN - Jordan Hill (#17)
BN - Tyreke Evans (#3)
BN - Earl Clark (#15)

I am still looking to move one or more of my PGs for a forward and/or center.

Jordan I might be into trading.

I have the following PF/C:
Brook Lopez (Not going anywhere)
Chris Bosh (Not going anywhere)
Jason Thompson (Very hard to get)
Troy Murphy
Zach Randolph

As you see only 2 are possibly available for the right offer. Just check out the rest of my roster and mail me on: alcig dot realgm at gmail dot come

I might be interested in Murphy if the price is not too high. I'm not expecting great things.

I'd be interested in Murphy as well, but only a fraction more interested than TheMan.

theman · Post #268 » by **theman** » Tue Sep 8, 2009 9:47 pm

Are emails post in this thread somewhere. I'd like to send out some trade offers.

I am thefortytwoKmanatyahoo.com but replace fortytwo with 42 and don't forget the K.

Post #269 » by **Stanford** » Tue Sep 8, 2009 9:50 pm

I'd just like to say that i'm slightly more interested in Murphy than theman and slightly less interested than bww.

writersblock · Post #270 » by **writersblock** » Tue Sep 8, 2009 11:23 pm

I'm interested in Murphy too...here's my email: squirrelzipper at yahoo dot com

Send offers to: alcig dot realgm at gmail dot com

Okay guys, we had a talk about divisions...do you guys think we should experiment with it?

It would have to be two divisions, something like this:
Division 1: #1, #4, #5, #8, #9, #12, #13
Division 2: #2, #3, #6, #7, #10, #11, #14

BTW, emailed everyone the information for the league. Sign in quick?

theman · Post #273 » by **theman** » Wed Sep 9, 2009 11:53 am

Is there a mechanism in yahoo to do that?

Can trades be made across divisions?

Can champions play head to head or will it be off line?

theman · Post #274 » by **theman** » Wed Sep 9, 2009 11:55 am

I am willing to trade Shaq for an old guard or Krstic for a young guard.

Send me offers.

Divisions sounds interesting, how would it work? would it be a random thing?

Also, for some reason, the emailed link I got for the league doesn't work.

hamncheese · Post #276 » by **hamncheese** » Wed Sep 9, 2009 1:04 pm

My link didn't work either.

bww78 · Post #277 » by **bww78** » Wed Sep 9, 2009 4:35 pm

No divisions. I don't like it.

Post #278 » by **Stanford** » Wed Sep 9, 2009 5:36 pm

I think the divisions thing is interesting, but I'm not 100% how they work at this point.

My link also did not work.

I'm gonna drop McDyess and pick Tyler Hansbrough. Y'all are gonna regret passing on Psycho T.
