Suns Board Fantasy Leagues Discussion Thread

Kerrsed, you feisty minx, stop fixing the draft order FFS.....

[Stix]

Just a suggestion for next year. Can we have the results determine next year's draft order? It doesn't seem fair that someone who placed 1st last year has to pick 8th this year. I think it's a bit more fair than having a "random" draft order every year, where the commish can just keep hitting the randomize button until he gets a top 3 pick.

For your information, everytime you hit Randomize, it puts a counter directly under the list. You wouldnt know this, as its never been on the list because i have never hit it more than once. KThanks.

That means nothing. A refresh of the page would fix that entirely.

Im just wondering when i became untrustworthy and how did this become an issue all of a sudden? Saltyness because people dont like how their draft turned out?

I mean im open to suggestions, but honestly dont see the need as i play fantasy basketball by the book.

Maybe a good option would be someone trusted, that is not part of the league, to take care of the draft order. Like the D League/Chinese League commish taking care of our draft order.

If thats what it takes for people to be happy and not bitch and complain, so be it. Im perfectly fine with that. We will put it up to a vote next season.

Also, i think the idea of whoever gets 1st place gets the 1st pick is lame. The reward for 1st place is a gold medal in Yahoo Sports. The idea of rewarding the top team with Durant doesnt sit well with me. It has always been random and i believe it should always stay random.

I actually think I did pretty decent with my draft considering where I had to pick from. I am not bitching, did I not start the post with "Just a suggestion..." ? Why are you getting so defensive all of a sudden?

It just seems a little fishy that the commish would get a #2 pick last year and a #3 pick this year. I don't know about previous years because I honestly don't remember or really care all that much.

[Sun Scorched]

Just my two cents - but draft position rarely impacts placement. I mean, your only job in the first two rounds is to simply not **** up. Past that, it's wide open. And most of it comes down to injuries.

I forgot where I drafted last year, but I remember drafting Kobe and some other twat waffle in the first and second that went down, for like, the whole season. You can't recover from that. So I got relegated to the D-League. Then I went on my honeymoon and missed the sign-up. Now I'm in the CBA.

Again, teams win fantasy leagues by drafting well late in the draft. Teams lose by drafting poorly early in the draft. But I've never noticed a correlation to where someone drafts versus how well their team performs.

[aIvin adams]

Guess that's one small.... very small perk of being the last pick in CBA pffft

last pick rocks man

Didn't see you eager to trade for it ha

definitely would rather have picked last than 4th or 9th or somewhere in between.

Just a bit defensive as this is the way it has always been done, then all of a sudden its being called into question, which would mean that my integrity is in question, right? The funny thing is, what are the chances that i would go from #2 to #3, and what are the chances that in the same draft EVEY PLAYER that drafted above 9 was selected to draft above 9 again. Thats crazy. Its crazy because its random. Also crazy is if you look at the screenshot of the draft order, people only moved up or down a few spots, there was only 2 big leaps, Miami4Ever from 8th to 2nd and Kop from 1st to 8th.

Random is random. As i stated before, im fine with having another leagues commish do the draft order if thats what people feel needs to be done.

But what happens if when i get a top 3 pick randomly again next season, then there must be some sort of collusion between the Commissioners, right? LOL, that would be hilarious!

[Miklo]

This is really a non issue...Kerrsed or I would never fix a draft order, we take this stuff way too seriously. I think I can speak for both of us when I say we spend countless hours researching for a draft, something like draft order only adds to the excitement. But it's fine for an external party to do the order for each other draft if people want, random is random!

The CBA, well I'd blame aivin if he *didn't* fix the order, SumDumFuk rules!

[Miklo]

Oh, and I also feel the draft order should stay random - winning the league shouldn't really correlate, and this would be especially complicated by the fact that we do the promotions. Getting promoted would mean you'd get the 10-12 draft pick automatically. Just feels too prescribed, I like the excitement of not learning draft order until closer to the draft - and like SS said, draft pick should have little to no effect on your fantasy season.

[Calvin Klein]

Draft order should definitely stay random.

Having an external user do the draft order would just avoid suspicions. Why not?

[Kerrsed]

Just a reminder to commissioners to adjust the waiver order (under Commish Tools) to the reverse order of your draft order. For whatever reason Yahoo doesn't do this automatically for offline drafts, even though it has enough to go off of since you're putting in draft order.

Is this after you start season? Im in the Commish tools now and dont see it under League Settings.

[Maystack]

I agree with it staying random, and I have no problem with the commish doing it. Don't see a reason why it would be fixed.

[Phystic]

It's nice to get back to back picks but it can really frustrating to wait 20+ picks for your next pick. It makes it hard to try and float guys until your next pick and the talent drop off can be hard to plan for.

As an example, you go say Love/Cousins on the turn of the 1st/2nd round picks but then by the time your next pick comes up there was a run on PGs and you are stuck with a mediocre PG as your starting PG. It can make things difficult to say the least. I tried my best to balance my team but I'm not overly happy with it.

it has been a lot more work to commish the CBA than i expected and i absolutely regret volunteering to do it

if i could od it all over again i would definitely give myself the first pick.

[Phystic]

Ya I have faith in our Mods/Commishes to not fix the draft. And even if they did, so what? Draft order can obviously be nice if you land one of the big fish but it really boils down to your ability to build a team and then working waiver wire/trades.

I definitely think draft order should remain random, it would take a lot of the fun out of the draft knowing where you pick. Also, why would you automatically give the winner the best player? I mean if you're saying that top pick are that important then isn't it a bit unfair to hand the top player to the champ and wouldn't that make the odds of him repeating greater?

You didn't even make each teams rosters you deadbeat!

Lazy, Commish!

I vote to impeach!

Elect our new commish...

[Phystic]

First cool pic.

Second, what a weird team. Elite in blocks with only 3 big men. Potentially average in assists with 5 PGs and you only have 1 SF ha

EDIT: somehow missed Zbo and Booz-Cruise.

[Kerrsed]

Smith and Hayword are both SG/SF eligible.

I think i am very strong in Blocks and Rebounds. Should be good on FG% and FT% . I should also have a decent amount of 3's and steals. I figured my weakest cat was assists, so i picked up Marshall and Nash right at the end.
