    If you make a roster change, we’re sending Gobert to your house.

hate the format from last year or hate the new format we are going to?


I’m referring to the H2H categories or whatever you call it from last year. I saw there was talks of a keeper league, but is the format changing?

I believe it's staying H2H just adding Keepers

so now we're just waiting on an extra person to sign up? is that correct?

so it looks like we have 8 people back from last year and need to fill 2 spots.  any suggestions?

  • Author

let's start another thread to see if we can get two more. also i submit we add an extra bench slot. there just so much talent out there worth rostering these days. 

  • Author

we're either going to have to add two teams pretty quickly, or expand our rosters and bench spots, and possibly add a couple more categories. I prefer the former, but we gotta get this going.

I can be in again, tho I too hate the  H2H so I'l probably come in last

you're in if you want to be in.

@Scraps and @MNLonghornFUKM are former members as well.  would either of you be interested in being the 10th team?

  • Author

just need one more. and again i submit that we add an extra bench slot for this season. 

If it is just 10 teams I am against the extra bench spot. Makes roster management more important 

  • Author

we had too many really good players just sitting around the FA list last year. It was already bad the year before, but last year it was borderline egregious. 10 teams is a small league for fantasy basketball, and the talent pool is only getting bigger. roster management will be just as important as it ever has been even with an extra slot which we do need at 10 teams. 

  • Author

also the season starts in just over two weeks. we need to get this shit going. i'm starting to lean towards adding another UTIL player to the starting lineups, two extra bench spots, and let's do this thing with 8 teams where only four make the playoffs. that is unless we can round up two more committed players by this weekend.

is derka gonna be like this all season? chill the fuck out dude let the commissioner run the league

yes, this is exactly how it's going to be. i'm the least popular guy in every shaggy league because i'm the only guy who is willing to press the issue when shit needs to get done. meanwhile everyone else sits around silently hoping everything will magically take care of itself, like two new teams and all proposed rule/roster changes will just appear out of thin air.

i call out people who don't manage their teams, i push for people to signup on time, i push for discussion on rule changes, and frankly if i didn't do all of that then i don't know how lot of it ever gets done. don't like it? then do something about it besides bitch. we should have had the draft order and rule changes knocked out by now, and people should be able to be doing mock drafts two weeks out from the season. my posting of my opinions on these things shouldn't be some huge deal, it should be SOP for the rest of the league as well.

then start your own league and we can all join it

i did co-found this league which you've all joined. 

  • Author

and look, i wasn't trying to be a dick earlier, i'm just saying that we need to get the ball rolling and we don't exactly have a ton of time to agree on anything that's up for discussion before the draft. 

i don't know how to magically make a 10th person want to play in the league.  i'm sure prospective participants who peruse this thread are super interested when they see how anal you can be about it though.

Keeper rules for IR/drops/ free agent pickups:

Players dropped from a team but eventually claimed and kept, go by original draft round +1 for keeper.

Undrafted players who are kept, give up last round pick?

Thoughts?

And who are the official teams?

Edited by RexWilson

there also needs to be a rule in place for guys like KD and Klay Thompson who may get drafted lower than normal this year.  maybe just they are assigned next year's average draft round +1?

as far as the roster goes, i would be in favor of adding one more utility player to the starting rotation, but would also prefer we leave the total number of roster spots as is.  i like the robust waiver wire market.

  • Author

should we roll with 8 teams at this point, or does anyone think they can find someone to fill out the league? i think we'd all prefer 10 teams if at all possible, but time is ticking. 

Edited by Goo Punch

man, yeah i'd definitely prefer 10 teams.  never dreamed finding 1 more person would be so difficult.

  • Author

man i have reached out to everyone i can think of. fantasy hoops just isn't mainstream and i think folks are just scared to try it out. i'm gonna keep trying, but hopefully one of y'all can secure someone by tomorrow or something. 

  • Author

y'all help me fill out the league with usernames-

derka

BO

Larry

Capn

Swear

Ballmatic

MK

RC

Rex

Durdy (my buddy)

fantastic!

@Goo Punch you are correct with the 10 and yes, please draw for the draft order.

The season starts on Tuesday, 10/22.  Would Sunday 10/20 or Monday 10/21 around 9:00pm be good for everyone?

  • Author

either works for me. 

gonna knock out this draft order within the hour.

One team league? Congrats Ballamatic!

haha, yeah, definitely hit submit a scooch too soon. 

  • Author

I can't remember if this has been brought up or not, but i think we should handle the money the same way we're doing it for fantasy baseball now, which is just to have everyone venmo the appropriate people at the end of the season. It just makes sense nowadays.

roger that.

Can we get an overview of what rules/roster changes have been proposed or made

  • Author

i'm on board with BO's idea to add an extra UTIL slot.
