It said they have cap room and are making a push for Larry Johnson, Greg Anthony and Stacey Augmon.

Championship!

They basically talk about who's playing well right now. It ends with this:

As John Gasaway points out, Dave Rice's squad will get every chance to prove their worth this season with a challenging schedule. In the next two weeks, they'll take on a difficult Wichita State group, then battle No. 7 Wisconsin. They could very well emerge as the best team in the Mountain West, but they're certainly going to have to earn it.

Driving to a friend's house today and hear Michael Kay on the radio. "...Melo's a special player, but so is Dwight Howard...the question I have for you is, which one is more valuable to your team?"

He then goes on to answer phone calls about who has "more of an impact" Dwight or Melo?

Why is this guy a radio host? It was pissing me off so much I wanted to crash into the back of the schoolbus in front of me.

What's your e-mail bruh? And 624 I'll see I may send out more invites to newcomers, I may not. We're up to 14 teams and I have 2 more guys who should definitely sign up and be active...

Alright thanks, let me know. If you have too many teams don't invite me if it will be bad for the league, but if an opening comes up I'd like to join.

Wait, what? I have you on ignore so I don't read any of your posts.

Oh, wait, just checked, I don't have you on ignore, I just don't read anything you write. :lol:

No, but seriously, UNLV hasn't had cap room since 1993. Kind of like the Knicks.

They've been impressive so far, saw two of their games including that nationally televised joint versus UNC.

Trader Joe is the most dedicated poster in the history of mankind. The dude literally posts things "on a smart phone, while at a bowling alley."

Dedication right there.

This is how I picture him looking, but with a ripped Nets T shirt with a long sleeve thermal under it.

So uh... I've kind of got too many people in the league now, as I was waiting on 1 other dude who's been in the league the last 3+ years but there are no spots left... :-?

good god 20 teams.

stephGRAHAMbury · Post #997 » by **stephGRAHAMbury** » Mon Dec 5, 2011 1:30 am

Kind of wish I capped it at 18 so I could have increased the roster size to 12 instead roster size is going to be kept at 10.

I update the rules on the league page but I might tinker with max. transactions and moves per week (will not go lower than what they are) depending on what kind of scrubs get drafted in round 10...

20 teams?? With that many teams Johan Petro in the 5th round is going to be a steal.

vincecarter4pres · Post #999 » by **vincecarter4pres** » Mon Dec 5, 2011 2:34 am

Dude I was just going to say, you need to put an extra roster spot or two, or even an extra couple IR spots if they still have those on Yahoo.

It really needs to be 2 IR spots if you go that route.

The last few years have been brutal when you get hit with some injuries.

I understand it's a big league and the waiver wire will be shallow, but it's so unfair if literally 2 or 3 of your guys go down at the same time.

You have to drop actual stud players that are just ridiculous to drop or you have zero chance to even have a chance at the playoffs.

I stopped paying attention last year at a few points because it was pointless even though I had a mainly stacked team at different times during the season.
