FFDL [draft starts this Saturday!]

[CFan21]

As a show of solidarity The Invincibles is ready to pledge publicly that we will be holding on to Allen Iverson, knowing full well that this dark period in his career is a result of league-wide collusion, which will be proven in public eventually. Sometime in the next month or two a team will suffer a major injury to their point guard and will, as is says in the holy book, "come begging on their knees for a fresh-legged, rejuvenated Iverson, who will of course oblige then and come in to be their savior."

There are a lot of surprises so far in this early season. I owe WB an appology on his trade for Hibbert. Too bad he shipped him away just as he was developing into a real quality player. But it's not like Duncan is a stiff.

Thanks for the apology.

The funny thing is though...Hibbert just pulled off the biggest dupe of the NBA...he even duped me. We all forgot that Troy Murphy and Jeff Foster have been injured, and Mike Dunleavy is on his way back too. In 2 games that Murphy has been back, Hibbert has been pedestrian. Tonight, he's not even starting. What's even more ironic...Al Thornton, the guy I thought was a big risk, is now beginning to outplay Hibbert. Down the road, it's possible that Hibbert becomes a primo-center in the league. Heck, he has been the first 2 weeks...but one thing I've learned playing fantasy basketball...the first month of the season is when people overperform. For Skai's sake, I hope Hibbert sees some good numbers again soon. But if it continues how it has been going...Duncan (top 20) for Hibbert who is 125 or so with the last few games and Nate Robinson is a pretty good deal.

I just wish Jordan would have pushed our trade through one day earlier. I could use Turk's numbers tonight.

Speaking of raptor numbers tonight, I astutely streamed in Jarrett Jack tonight and was rewarded mightily.

and I was about to add him right before you. I'll take Belly Nelly though...

BTW...it may be obvious, but with the last 2 deals I made, Im' in the need of guys who can produce now, rather than down the road. For that reason:

Stephen Curry is available.

I need someone who is dominant in boards, 3s or assists.

Mail me at alcig dot realgm at gmail dot com... I might have excess boards

[hamncheese]

I feel bad for ham actually. It's impossible to win against anyone with so few games played.

Yeah... I've only had 4 games played to your 13 so far. I guess I could sit everyone for the rest of the week and go for the 3-6 loss, but I'll play everyone and see if I could challenge for steals (only down 9 to 11).

Brian... what 1sts do you have available?

Brian... what 1sts do you have available?

I believe I have all my 1sts with the possible exception of this next draft. Coady may own that first, I think. Coady will have to verify that.

[Stanford]

Nope, you're all good. Other than Blake's pick this year, I only have my own picks from here on.

[bww78]

Seriously, I don't think you have my first this year.

[Stanford]

I think I do pally.

It either came in the Paul deal or the Dirk deal. I got three first rounders from you in total. I've used two, and I conceded that you had your first rounder in this most recent draft because it said clearly on Sly's old FFDL website that I had your '10 pick and not your '09 pick.

I do have Bdubs pick next year apparently. However, I think it was me who questioned whether or not I had Blake's '09 pick. Looking back, I got a combined three first round picks in the Paul and Dirk deals - '07, '08 and '10 - so you can probably go ahead and give him his pick this year.

I said this before the draft when the page was active. It's on the first page.

[Stanford]

So can we put retired players on the IL?

[writersblock]

Nope, you're all good. Other than Blake's pick this year, I only have my own picks from here on.

Yeah, I didn't think I traded away my 2010 1st rounder. It's mine.

Why do managers continue to drop guys after four games? And now that the rules have been made clear and theman got everyone's attention, why is YS still babying everyone?

Other than east, who dropped someone early?

[Young_Star11]

ham...and insfo?

BTW..Tyreke having the better of BJ this week, at least so far

[Stanford]

In that case, I too find it extremely bizarre that three people would drop players early after the 10 page discussion we had about the very subject.
