October 17Oct 17 let’s get the rest of these keepers in so we can get them set well before the draft. i got two guys who don’t even post here who’ve already submitted their keepers lol. don’t want another draft night fiasco like we had a few years ago.
October 18Oct 18 Author Sorry for the serial tagging but yeah we need not only keepers but need @BallamaticBevo and @d2o to weigh in on teams they are taking over. I guess first come first serve at this point so I can at least get the invites out. @BallamaticBevo team you're taking and email? I may be able to dig up the email from a couple of seasons ago. Hmm. I'll look. And keepers. d2o - same. Feel free to just pick one and it's yours. Need email. And keepers. Need keepers from @mojo and @Capn81 and I'm not even going to tag z because I know he will see this and pick his keepers before Monday.
October 18Oct 18 Author Thank you mojo. I kept Jordan Poole once in this league. It did not go well for me. I hope it goes better for you.

(Hope I did that right) If you are referencing the draft board above, I am guessing there was an in season trade and IT acquired him. I'm not checking right now but also I think that's how Derka is keeping someone. Good deal on the roster and keepers. Sorry BB you are inheriting Greg's Grand Team. Gotta stay staring at the screen in 2025. Please let me know who/if you want to keep.

(Hope I did that right) I had that team last year, and traded Miller in for Cade in the middle of the season. I did add Jared McCain as a free agent to my team when losing was inevitable in case he was worth keeping. Otherwise Collins or Poetl are probably the best value to keep.
October 18Oct 18 Author I sent invites to d2o and ztejas. I tried to look back on the league history and I know BB was Lemon Pepper Lou and his 'name' on ESPN was Bob B but I cannot locate an email address for him. Anyone who has been in this league happen to know an email for Ballamatic? I'm beginning to worry that he fell into a sinkhole or something.
October 18Oct 18 Author @Derka I found this post. Looks like you may have venmo'd him back in 2023. Can you look in your venmo and see if you can dig up the email? If you find it please PM to me. Thanks! Edited October 18Oct 18 by Baboontyme
October 18Oct 18 Author Dammit. Thought that was a good lead. Ok if we don't hear from him I'm going to add one of my burner email accounts as the owner for that franchise so I can at least get the draft setup done and hopefully we can add BB as a second owner and delete me before the draft Monday.

(Hope I did that right) I traded for him mid season in large part with the understanding I was able to keep him the following season. Do I need to adjust @Baboontyme ?
October 18Oct 18 I'm keeping Ant 7th round and Jor-El Ware 17th round. Or Kel'el or whatever the fuck his name is.

I don't think so but it's really @Derka and his buddy's league so he would be the one to ask. I'm just the guy pulling the levers behind the scenes.
October 18Oct 18 all keepers remain keepers even if they are traded. i traded chet holmgren (keeper) away in part for amen thompson (keeper) last year. now im keeping amen and whoever had chet is keeping him.

So Cade Cunningham is on my roster? Edited October 18Oct 18 by d2o
October 18Oct 18 Author 5 minutes ago, d2o said: Ah ok. So Cade Cunningham is on my roster? Yes but now that you have accepted the invite you should be able to see your team. I added BB's team under my burner email so I could set the draft order. We'll add him and remove me if he ever turns up.
October 19Oct 19 Ok, so since Miller is not on my roster, my 2nd keeper is Benedict Mathurin in the 15th round
October 19Oct 19 On 10/16/2025 at 8:01 PM, Derka said: timmy: chet in round 9, mathurin in round 15 @d2o i’m not really keeping up with whose team is whose, but i think rick james bitch said he was keeping mathurin? i don’t know whose roster he was on at the end of the year. @Baboontyme is there any way to check the rosters from the end of last year?

Yeah I can look on desktop. But as I told d2o earlier, if they have accepted their invite, they are in the league and can check who is on their own roster. We don't clear rosters until all keepers are set and I have to push a button. But I'll check tomorrow to verify. What are we gonna do if BB doesn't show up before the draft?
October 19Oct 19 Author My brain wasn't working, all you have to do is search the player in the app. He's on Kevin's top notch team. I believe that's d2o.

Mathurin is on my roster in the app now. I am assuming those are the final rosters from last yr. Let me know if that isnt right.

October 19Oct 19 I will keep Jalen Williams and Walker Kessler. I'm keeping an injured guy to start the season again this year, what could go wrong?
October 20Oct 20 DRAFT IS TONIGHT!!! be there, or we’ll auto pick russell westbrook and liangelo ball for you!
October 20Oct 20 5 minutes ago, ztejas said: Wait - are we doing keepers next year or not? That affects draft strategy. i’m in favor of dumping keepers after this year. this league randomly adopted keepers one season after years of not doing a keeper league. i’ve always wanted to go back.

Let's do it. No keepers. Anyone wanting to object you are about to be double-spammed by ztejas and Derka which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.
October 20Oct 20 Ugh, flight is late from San Diego. I’ll miss start id the draft by about 30 min. Oh well.

October 20Oct 20 I'm cool pushing if needed. I'll be working late anyway after all the AWS downtime today.
October 20Oct 20 timmy actually wanted it to be earlier because he’s going to the seahawks game tonight. are we cool keeping it where it is? mojo will probably only miss 1-2 picks. i wish espn would let you set a queue before the draft lobby opens. Edited October 20Oct 20 by Derka
October 20Oct 20 Author I would say if anyone has an objection to moving it we probably don't move it. @mojo please let me know if you want to try some kind of work around. Happy to get on the phone or text or whatever with you if that would help you.
October 20Oct 20 Do we need to label our own keepers in ESPN or is a commish on top of that? I can haz dumped ESPN rosters for quick mock?

I have the keepers set but I don't see an option to clear rosters. The site says keepers lock one hour before the draft so I believe ESPN will clear rosters automatically for us at 7 Central.
October 21Oct 21 Author Good speedy draft. Thanks all. I PMd mojo but unfortunately I did not check the board and didn't see his message. Excited for NBA tomorrow.
