FFDL [draft starts this Saturday!]

[theman]

Explain the IL rules to him while you are at it.

And I believe the picks on the front page are correct. I should have (the first) three first and a second.

hmmm...I believe you're right. I just wasn't sure if I had traded Stanford's 1st I had this coming draft.

As for IL, here's the rules I think that work:
Self-policing IL, and you can drop your guy to the IL list THE DAY he misses his 5th game, so any point during that day. If he plays that 5th game that night, unexpectedly, then I will manually add the guy back to your roster that day. No love lost.

[insfo]

Checking in .. will post my drop/adds in a few.

[sly]

Okay, here's how the standings panned out and - consequently - the lottery balls. Remember, the champion gets no lottery balls. The rest of the order is determined upon regular season standings.

1 - AlciG (no lottery balls)
2 - wb [from stanford/floppy] (1 ball)
3 - bww (1 ball)
4 - Setterlund (1 ball)
5 - YS (1 ball)
6 - Kohanz (1 ball)
7 - theman [from wb] (3 balls)
8 - ham (3 balls)
9 - east (3 balls)
10 - theman (5 balls)
11 - sly (5 balls)
12 - insfo (5 balls)
13 - theman [from skai] (8 balls)
14 - tk (8 balls)

That's 45 balls in total. Each ball represents 1 number between 1 and 45. I will generate the random sequence tomorrow night at 10:00 PM EST. I'll post the random sequence and then will look through the numbers and list the order.

If you want, you can select your own lottery balls. If you have somebody else's pick, please separate your number lists. For teams with multiple balls, when your top number in the sequence is allocated to a draft spot, the rest of your balls become void.

Any questions at all, just let me know.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45

Brian... can you start a new FFDL thread?

[bww78]

Brian... can you start a new FFDL thread?

I'll take :

TheMan: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
Skai: 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 31, 35
WB: 28, 42, 43

[theman]

Can't believe I am going to do this, but I am going to drop Tj Ford and Nenad Krstic.

[theman]

And I got it in before the m idnight deadline.

[sly]

wowza... i forgot you landed Brian's pick. i don't recall as good of odds to land the top pick.

Trying to think back and why I went with these odds. I know I was concerned about tanking and didn't want managers to tank in the playoffs; thus, using regular season standings. Also didn't want the bottom teams to pretty much lock themselves into top picks by tanking.

Any thoughts on this lotto system for next year? I was thinking that we should reward the champ with a couple of lottery balls and maybe the consolation champ with an extra lottery ball.

[writersblock]

I'll take number 36.

[writersblock]

So, we have 2 managers who have yet to make their drops: Kohanz and Insfo. Emails have been sent. To avoid a Gallinari situation, I'm giving them until Saturday July 3rd at 10pm EST to make their cuts (they luck out because I'm traveling). If they do not make their cuts by then, I will make the following add/drops for them:

Kohanz
Drops Leon Powe
Adds Luol Deng

Insfo
Drops Toney Douglas and Brandon Rush
Adds Ricky Rubio and Yao Ming

In the future, I propose the following change to the end of the season cuts. If you do not make a cut to make room for your IL guy in time, you lose your IL guy automatically. That should help us avoid any issues I think.

WB/Brian

[insfo]

insfo
Drops Ersan Ilyasova and Corey Brewer
Adds Ricky Rubio and Yao Ming

I'd like my 5 #s to be 9, 10, 30, 33, 39,

remaining - 1 2 4 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 25 26 27 29 32 34 37 38 40 41 44 45

As you probably know... here's the sequence generator that I'll be using later tonight:

I went through half the season having forgotten I had Skai's pick. I kept waiting for my team to get health which never happened. So finally, I decide this was the draft to make a move and grabbed one more pick.

Only a 1 in three chance at the top pick. I think its about 37.5% at a top two. I figured it out at one point but can't remember.

I am still accepting trade offers if anyone is interested.

[AlciG]

This makes me SAD

[AlciG]

My team is flush with bigs and pgs. I'm looking for a very good and young-ish SG if anyone wants to talk trade.

Every player on my roster who can play SG is available for the right offer, except Durant.

[sly]

okay, company just popped over; so, let's make this quick. I allocated the remaining picks to be the following:

setterlund 1
ys 2
kohanz 4
east 15,20,21
tk 32 34 37 38 40 41 44 45

add that to our choices of numbers:

sly 16, 17, 18, 19, 29
ham 25, 26, 27
insfo 9, 10, 30, 33, 39
wb 36
theman 3, 5, 6, 7, 8
theman [from Skai] 11, 12, 13, 14, 23, 24, 31, 35
theman [from WB] 28, 42, 43
bww 22

sequence coming right now...
