Sorry guys for my lateness.

Addind Tyrus off the IL and dropping Gerald Henderson

New roster:
LeBron James(Mia - SF,PF)
Al Horford(Atl - PF,C)
Derrick Rose(Chi - PG)
Kevin Martin(Hou - SG)
Zach Randolph(Mem - PF,C)
Deron Williams(NJ - PG)
Dwight Howard(Orl - C)
Kyle Lowry(Hou - PG)
Tyson Chandler(Dal - C)
Devin Harris(Uta - PG)
DeMarcus Cousins(Sac - PF,C)
Jeff Teague(Atl - PG,SG)
Gordon Hayward(Uta - SG,SF)
Rodrigue Beaubois(Dal - PG,SG)

Do I have to make a cut now to accomodate a draft pick or can I make that decision later?

What's the league info (not name the #). The invite I was sent has expired. Thanks!

Give: Luis Scola

Get: 7th overall (2011)

Calderon deal still on the table. I'll also deal him, Thaddeus Young or Jameer for a '2012 1st.

I'll deal Aaron Brooks and J.R. Smith for 2011/2012 2nds


After all his wheeling and dealing it will be interesting to see who Apathy picks.

I don't think you can do this during the draft. Ypou can use your pick to grab him if you want

You can't until the rosters have been inserted into Yahoo and the WW priority has been set

You can DRAFT any free agent, rookie, whatever you want and drop a player to make room. But can't do additional add/drops during the draft as far as I know.

I guess that would mean that, technically, I don't really drop Roy until I draft. Not that it matters - no one is going to draft him.

Correct.

I read it as he was dropping Brooks AND Henderson.

Anyhow the only way to currently change your roster is through making draft picks or making trades.

Brooks is still Apathy's and henderson is still a free agent.

If you want to change your draft pick before the next person picks I think you can do that if you want Henderson instead.

I knew that was who you wanted. I knew I wasn't going to get Knight at #8. Wasn't sure who Skai was going to take but not a surprise that Knight is gone. As it is, I like Anderson so I'm good with taking him. I'm loaded up on C eligible players, so I'm looking to trade laterally for a PG.

Apathy, there are three types of player moves you can make now:

1) Dropping players to get down to 15 (this actually needed to happen before the draft started, so really it's not an issue anymore)
2) Trades
3) Drafting, optionally dropping a guy to draft a replacement.

The ONLY way to pick up someone who got dropped in steps 1 or 3 is to draft them. So if you want Henderson you have to draft him.

If no one drafts him then you have a shot at him once the roster are loaded into yahoo, using the yahoo interface to try to claim him off waivers. Your success there will depend on whether anyone with a higher waiver priority puts in a claim.

once East signs into Yahoo!, I'll add rosters which will make this draft a lot easier for those considering FA's.
