March 11, 20196 yr Man... dropping more games for "rest" from Jimmy Butler and Kevin Love. Basketball is just the WORST on this kind of thing. I get the logic behind it, but you're paid mega millions to be an elite athlete in a relatively low impact sport, and average joe is buying nosebleeds a month in advance with no way to know if they're seeing the best players that they're paying to see. plus it's screwing over my fantasy team which is real injustice lol
March 12, 20196 yr so durant is going to be day to day during my most important week of the season and ibaka decides to go off and get himself suspended for this week and probably more. oh, and elfrid fucking payton gets a triple double against me. not ben simmons, nikola jokic, draymond green or luka doncic. nope, elfrid fucking payton.
March 12, 20196 yr Author i think he (elfrid peyton) had one against me earlier this year. if not then it was last year. so frustrating. the worst though was when RC (who's becoming my nemesis with how we keep finding ourselves battling each other every year a la you and HG) added Kyle Anderson against me this year and he got a TD in his very first game for RC. I think he got something like 10/10/10 too. so aggravating lol. Edited March 12, 20196 yr by Goo Punch

Not that it matters because you got another from Lowry I'll take being your nemesis though.

March 13, 20196 yr Author lol that's ridiculous. back to back nights. Edited March 13, 20196 yr by Goo Punch
March 18, 20196 yr Well Derka you had the better team all season, but at least I held out till the last day. I’m now officially eliminated just short in a few categories. Your Rondo pickup was a game changerSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Even though I had the lead you were never more than one good day away from taking over any one of four of five different categories the entire time, which did happen with fluidity throughout the matchup, all the way down until the very end. IIRC you won both the regular season and playoffs last year where I got runner up in both? Regardless, this rivalry we have going is a good one, and i don't expect it to let up any time soon. Best of luck the rest of the way. Until we meet again. Edited March 18, 20196 yr by Goo Punch
April 1, 20196 yr Author welp, that was tough. i fought hard but lost to a great team. congrats troy. also, jeremy lamb for MVP! lol (Lamb was on Troy's team, got hurt, got dropped, got added by me, and then in the two games he played for me he goes 1/11 and 3/7. I was winning our matchup until about two hours before it ended when i lost the FG% category. Thanks Jeremy, lol.)
April 2, 20196 yr Author @BigOrange1 did all these jabronis pay up on time? (present company excluded lol)
April 5, 20196 yr i was out of town at a work conference all week. do you seriously think i'm just ignoring this?

June 14, 20196 yr Wanted to throw it out again if others would be interested in adding a keeper element to the league. Gives us plenty of time to figure the format out.
June 14, 20196 yr i'm good with it, but i think it should start with this upcoming season so everyone makes moves throughout the season with that in mind.
June 14, 20196 yr For sure, draft as normal this 2019 season and then keepers start impacting the 2020 draft.
September 10, 20196 yr For sure, draft as normal this 2019 season and then keepers start impacting the 2020 draft.I like this as well.
September 23, 20196 yr I’m definitely down with keepers and I’ve been thinking about how to do this for a couple of weeks now. First thing we should consider is the number of players you can keep. I like the idea of no more than 2 and as little as zero. I think 2 is as high as we should go to ensure player turnover from year to year. On the other side I like the idea of keeping zero players if you choose. If your team sucked and you want to go into next season with all your picks then so be it. As for the rules about how to keep players I have a few ideas as well. 1) You can’t keep your first round pick. I’m open to extending that rule to the 2nd round as well depending on what y’all think. Again this rule would help ensure the top players move from year to year 2) Every player kept comes with an escalating scale of draft value. If you want to keep your 5th round pick this year then it will cost you a 4th round pick next year. For example I drafted Luka in the 4th round last year. So he would count as my 3rd round pick this year. 3) When players are traded for they keep the same draft value. If you trade for someone’s 4th round pick will cost you 3rd. However, if you trade for a player that has the same draft value as a player you drafted you can’t keep both. So you can’t trade for someone’s 4th round pick and keep your 4th round pick and the player you traded for. You gotta choose one. Im sure there are things I’ve missed so let me know what you guys think
September 24, 20196 yr sounds solid enough to me. will let the group decide. as far as the upcoming season, can we get a roll call of who all is in? time to start thinking about this again.
September 24, 20196 yr Author i'm in and so is my buddy. gonna try and get him to signup for surly this year.
September 24, 20196 yr Author i think the general consensus is that we're all down to switch to a keeper league, so now we really just need to hash out the specifics, imo. I like the idea of leaving the first two rounds out of it, but other than that i don't have much in the way of opinions on how this should be done as this will be my first time doing a keeper league.

September 24, 20196 yr i have just reactivated the league. everyone go see if you can log in or whatever.
September 24, 20196 yr Author yep. just checked on the app. Edited September 24, 20196 yr by Goo Punch
October 1, 20196 yr if i am reading things correctly, everyone but whoever melo yelo was has reactivated their team. is this correct?
October 1, 20196 yr Author whoever he is i hope he shows up soon because i'm ready to get this draft order knocked out.
October 2, 20196 yr Author does anyone know who we're missing? It's already october and the season is 3 weeks away. if we're going to change our entire format we need to the this going.
October 3, 20196 yr Ok, can everyone confirm whether they are in or not? And if in, the name of your team as it shows on espn right now (you can change it after the draft if you want) @RCRanger03 @Goo Punch @Radical Larry @Bobby Light @RexWilson @Swearengen @NOMAAA @Capn81 Derka, can you confirm your friend is back and his team name (and get his ass signed up for surly even if all he does is post on this thread).
