Sorry for the delay, didn't time out as I had thought it would. Pick coming shortly.

LBPTarHeel27 · Post #382 » by **LBPTarHeel27** » Wed Sep 30, 2015 4:51 pm

PG Isaiah Thomas, Jarret Jack, Zach Lavine
SG Andrew Wiggins, Kobe Bryant, Justise Winslow
SF Rudy Gay, Bojan Bogdanovic
PF Blake Griffin, Jared Sullinger, Frank Kaminski
C Rudy Gobert, Gorgui Deing, Bismack Biyombo

Bound to strike gold somewhere in there. Hopefully more than once.

Hope we can race through some picks this afternoon/evening - I'd love to be able to finish my draft tonight.

Quick question re: the injured reserve places, to make sure I am understanding it correctly. If a player on your roster is assigned IR status by Yahoo, you can move that player to your IR slot and then pick a replacement player from the waiver wire? Then when your IR player returns to health you have to waive someone from the active 15 spots to make space for them?

Never let anyone accuse you of playing it safe. Are you the kind of guy who twists when he's got 20 in blackjack?

That's the way that I believe it is.

Good to know. I've never played a fantasy game with an IR function before, but it seems like that's how it works in other sports. It'll be interesting to see how loose they are with IR status, how injured a player has to be before you are allowed to call up a replacement.

Can you please change your team name to The Sex Panthers now?

that's a fantastic fantasy sports team name.

Haha, I was considering it but I'm rolling with EA7 Milan. It is an awesome name tho!

Statistically, he's got great FT%, 3PM and TO numbers, which from a big, are good out-of-position numbers.

I think he's a lot more healthier, fit, and experienced with the Magic core in his 2nd season too. Skiles could fall in love with his spacing and high-IQ.

It'll be really fun having the Tobias/Frye cousin duo this year. But I do have a proposed offer of Tobias to MM123 incase he's interested in re-engaging that trade idea.

You're up now.

I got one more pick to go, and then I'll be done and fairly happy with my draft.

Did Fendi get emailed?

My team is garbage.

MitchellUK · Post #395 » by **MitchellUK** » Thu Oct 1, 2015 6:15 pm

That's my team sorted. Pretty pleased with how the draft went, but always willing to discuss trades if there's anyone on my roster who you're interested in.

Skin · Post #396 » by **Skin** » Thu Oct 1, 2015 6:44 pm

PG/SG Steph Curry
PG/SG Monta Ellis
PG/SG CJ McCollum
PG/SG Tony Wroten
PG Isaiah Canaan
SG/SF Trevor Ariza
SG/SF Dion Waiters
SF/PF Demarre Carroll
SF/PF Paul Pierce
PF Kristaps Porzingis
PF Noah Vonleh
PF/C Hassan Whiteside
PF/C Andre Drummond
PF/C Willie Cauley-Stein
C Jahlil Okafor

Ready to rock'n roll and see where this goes. Got a lot of guys that I wanted so I'm happy, but there were also a lot of guys that I wish had fallen to me too. I want to go back and point them out once the draft is done.

HoraceGrant · Post #397 » by **HoraceGrant** » Fri Oct 2, 2015 12:55 am

Dammit! Good pick with Foye. I almost grabbed him with my last pick, but was hoping he'd be available this round for me. Could be a ton of threes.

Skin · Post #398 » by **Skin** » Fri Oct 2, 2015 1:47 am

I debated Foye with my last pick too. He should rain 3s. It's just been a while since he's played a full season and I think his minutes will be shared.. but I dunno. Definitely a potential sneaky pick! I chose Canaan who likes to shoot 3s too, but I leaned on him because I already had Wroten so there is a bit of a handcuff there.

HoraceGrant · Post #399 » by **HoraceGrant** » Fri Oct 2, 2015 2:27 am

Yeah...Wrotens injury is why I snagged Marshall with my final pick. Hoping he starts in the opener and they fall in love with him! Maybe play Wroten at the 2.

Skin · Post #400 » by **Skin** » Fri Oct 2, 2015 2:36 am

Iggy was the other guy I was considering there. I had 4 names and 2 picks.

Canaan vs Foye
and
Waiters vs Iggy

I didn't know what combination to go with, but went with the youth and handcuff in Canaan... and banking on Waiters playing for a new contract. lol
