Is everyone fine with the trade between GD and me? I don't want to accept it just because I am commissioner. I want everyone to be okay with it.

It's fine with me..

EDIT: Why was it vetoed?

Ray Allen and Spencer Hawes being injured on top of Jefferson and Kidd playing crappy has really killed me.

I've only got 7 players I drafted on my team now, I've brought in 6 free agents, I'm lucky I'm not in last place considering.

What an unusual situation... The players you forgot to move up have just saved you from a 9-0 clean sweep, and gave you two points on turnovers and FG%. Got to say, didn't see that coming! Still funny though..

Of course I'm pretty pleased with the 7-2, and I have to say, I didn't expect my team to do this well.. When is my luck going to run out? Next round may be?

It will be a tough match-up against 2nd place Desert Eagles anyway..

gooDevil · 30th January 2012, 21:53

RD, that new trade isn't very interesting to me. I would think someone vetoed our previous trade because I was giving up too much, perhaps you could add in another player to make it more even, or we could each add another play.

What about Nash for Jordan, if those others don't work? They're ranked 54 and 52 respectively, who could argue with that?

You would have definitely won turnovers, I'm not sure about fg%, they don't give shots made and missed numbers, but the players that didn't count on monday didn't shoot well.

Pretty funny you won on 3's when my guys average about 60% more threes than yours! I'll get you next time.

Oh I WAS lucky.. I do believe that, and I really think luck played a role in my current position, and I definitely see tough days coming for me..

I think your team has underperformed in more than one category, and I still can't believe I beat you in rebounds with such a margin.. On another day it would have been a much closer encounter, although I would say that about pretty much every single match-up I played so far.. Don't know how I'm doing it, but I'm happy about it.

gooDevil · 31st January 2012, 02:46

I had a slim statistic advantage over you in quite a few categories, but they just didn't produce over the week.

I think half the fun is changing your line-up, the game would be a bit boring if you just used your original team. I was going in one direction with my trade attempts, but since they didn't work out I thought what the hell, let's try something else entirely.

I have too many guards, around 4-5. I don't want to take in another guard unless I am giving away one.

gooDevil · 31st January 2012, 20:46

Fair enough, I decided to reinvest in assists instead anyway.

RDCR07 · 31st January 2012, 20:50

How about Gortat and Amare for Griffin and McGee?

RDCR07 · 31st January 2012, 22:27

Brooks is out indefinitely. His small toe is fractured or something like that.

Yeah just saw it.. That's why I deleted my post..

I though it was his minor achilles tendon thing.

No thanks.

gooDevil · 1st February 2012, 22:18

Good luck with Kidd, Nanderson, though I hope the Mavs continue to start Ronny B. ahead of him when he's back, since I added him to my team! He was just endlessly injured, I got tired of it!

I thought Randolph got surgery, but it seems they're giving him time to heal his torn MCL, who knows when he'll be back.

Cheers! Don't think it will work out, and Kidd hasn't had a good season. I nabbed him because his assists have started to go up somewhat, which I need. And Randolph wasn't helping me sitting on the bench anyway, I need all the help I can get.

BTW, I offered you a trade. I have too many rebounding, shotblocking bigs, so I offered you Kaman for Miller. You only have Chandler blocking shots, with Smith chipping in. I need passing. Kaman is ranked slightly higher, so it seems fair to me if you're interested?

Miller? Chandler? Smith? I think you're talking to me... I'll check it out..

Danny1982 · 2nd February 2012, 16:16

Sorry but I don't think it's gonna work out for me. I'm looking for the same thing you're after. Assists for rebounds.

I'd offer you Wiliams (and change my plan giving up on assists), but it can only work out in a complicated multiple player trade (Love is the only player you have who is in the top 25).

gooDevil · 2nd February 2012, 21:29

Nanderson, you should have mentioned this to me back when I was shopping Nash! Oh well.

RDCR07 · 4th February 2012, 05:49

Damn I got 47 blocks this week and its only Friday. Thats the highest I have ever got in one week.

And Nanderson, I have proposed a trade. Lemme know soon if you are going to reject it or not, so I can work on something else.

Desert Eagle · 4th February 2012, 06:05

Nice back and forth matchup between 1st and 2nd place.

It wasn't really back and forth.. You were ahead all the way with big margins. My team's performance was awful this week, while your team's performance was brilliant.. It will be one big loss for me.. Hats-off.

gooDevil · 5th February 2012, 10:37

Go Desert Eagles, stomp him good!

I mean well!

12 weeks left in the season, about the halfway point, hard to see anyone coming back and taking the regular season title from Danny, though. I went ahead and picked up Brook Lopez for the playoffs!

No disrespect, but there's no way in hell I'd do that! Cousins just keeps getting better, he's a beast. And I need Rubio, I'm already short on assists and steals. Sorry!

I lost this week to Desert Eagles (4-5), but it could have been much worse in a game DE's team dominated from start to finish..

I feel I kind of got away with it..

The playoffs will be a tough ride for me.. And the league title race is still open in my opinion..

gooDevil · 6th February 2012, 01:03

I'm amazed I beat Nanderson at blocks when he averages 2 more blocks per game than me for our 13 players.

I did up everyone's stats but I'm not sharing! Besides, with people switching players it's constantly changing anyway.

You're mean!

Yeah, sometimes things don't go exactly according to the stats.. I don't know it for sure but I think according to the stats I should be ranked 3rd-4th.. And I'm pretty sure you should be closer to the top of the table than you're right now..

Having said that, we're still not half way yet, so I expect many things to change in the coming weeks..

I'll try to hang on to a top 2 finish, to give myself a better chance in the playoffs, but things will only get tougher from now on...

gooDevil · 7th February 2012, 14:26

Had to pick up Lin after two great games for NY. With Melo out for a while I expect he'll continue to score, seems like the Knicks finally found their point guard!

RDCR07 · 7th February 2012, 19:26

I could not drop anybody to pick up Lin. And speaking of PG, Parker has been stellar this month.

You were unlucky with Horford probably being out for the season, but for the rest I have been dealing myself with a lot of injuries to crucial pieces in my team like Wade, Bargnani and important ones like MarShoon Brooks, and Brand. It's the price the NBA is paying for having such a condensed schedule.

By the way, I hate Carmelo. The b*****d just came back from his injury to beat me, and then got injured again.

gooDevil · 8th February 2012, 07:59

There have been ton of injuries this season, I've gotten off relatively light all things considered. Hawes was out for 10 games and I ended up dropping Kidd, Allen was out for a few but that's mostly it.

Though I'm down to 6 of my original 13 players, it's been fun to pick over the scrap heap.

Yeah, well, you only have two players out now, Augustine and Anthony, and I have three, Hawes, Lopez, Chalmers. We should be pretty even as far as total games logged by all players for the week.

You have more of your draft picks still on your team than me as well. As the Russians say, what is your suffering compared to mine?

gooDevil · 14th February 2012, 06:28

That was a fun match-up, Desert Eagle, you got lucky to beat me in 3's, my guys were all off on that one, came close on steals too.

Well done gooDevil..

RDC had a monster win too.. Doesn't really help me feel secure about my 9.5 point lead.

This league is so unpredictable that makes it even more important to try and finish in the top two, to avoid the first round in the play-offs.

What is going to make you secure? I don't think anyone is going to catch you. All I want to do is make the playoffs.

RDCR07 · 15th February 2012, 03:41

Calderon had his game of the season with 25 points, 7 reb and 9 assists with over 60% FG but in vain.

gooDevil · 15th February 2012, 03:45

Hey, it's not in vain in fantasy BB, wins are what's worthless here!

He's been a great fantasy player, I should really have picked him up myself.

Nanderson · 20th February 2012, 14:10

I don't get why I didn't get Ray Allen - I attempted to sign him first. How is the waiver order determined? Annoyed about this.

RDCR07 · 20th February 2012, 19:51

I have no idea how the waiver number is determined. It switches during the season. And I also have no idea how you did not get Allen when your waiver number is 9 and DE number is 10.

gooDevil · 20th February 2012, 20:21

The waiver numbers started as an inverse of the draft order. When you get a player, you move to 10 and everyone moves up one.

If two people both claim a player anytime before he clears waivers, then when he clears he goes to the player with the lowest waiver number.

If I understand it correctly.

Good luck with Allen, he's been mediocre for a month now. He was really great when Pierce wasn't there and he had to make up for his scoring, but since then he's more like a 80-100 rank output. Though I'm last in FT% so that was wasted for me.

I would have tried to trade him but that hasn't gone very well for me this year, so I didn't bother.
