Jefferson is available as a FA, Sus.

So is West. You could pick up most of your Celts and they'll have good years too.

Celtics point guard situation is to scrambled atm, can't pickup Delonte. Jefferson is hurt first 10-12 games. Get your Celts' info straight.

I know it's hard keeping up with a team that has talent. :lol:

I'll bet you 1$ West starts over Dickau after the 1st week~

and I knew about Jefferson but you can stick him on the IL and wait for him to come back.

If you don't I might~

Dickau is really sucking it up this pre-season. But I doubt West will start over Dickau, West is playing to much like a 2 atm, I could see Ricky starting at point guard atm. Banks may be out until all-star breaks, he's gone for a bit.

Really sucks, both Celtics free agents are sucking it up, Scalabrine is just doing horrible, like 4-29 in pre-season, shooting wise. Dickau is already known as one of the worst defenders in the league, and is definetly showing that. But his offense is horrid atm too, but I got fath in him to turn it around.

Utl. players get points right?

I would just like to reiterate, fuck auto-drafts. Couldn't get out of work in time to make the draft. Guess I'll be focusing on my other league this year.

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 9:24 am

You could have just set your pre-draft order~

Doesn't really matter due to the way Yahoo handles auto-drafts. It tries to fill positions it thinks you need, regardless of your draft order, so if there's a run on centers, you wind up drafting your highest ranking remaining center instead of a player that might actually benefit you.

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 9:35 am

Yea, that happened at about 8 or 9th pick. Centers of all shapes and sizes started getting gobbled up.

Oh well, if you all hate your team then you can all trade your players around~

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 9:38 am

Xao, you were one pick away from getting Jerome James, count yourself lucky.

I have Ike Diogu. Ike Diogu! I took a look at my team this morning and cut a half dozen players.

Ike Diogu was a bit of a haed scratcher.

I feel bad for Xaivs drafting Amare in the 1st round.

yup i'm still the ferrets.

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 11:35 am

You ninjad Mags and Odom right when I wanted em. But I think I did really well anyways. My baby bulls are all gonna have great years.

Susvain · Post by **Susvain** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 11:56 am

mall check your trades, or i think it's you, forget who but i offered a trade!

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 1:09 pm

There are so many players that weren't drafted that are gonna have great years. I could drop half my team right now and go pick em up on Waivers.

That's pretty much my plan. We'll see how it works out.

Forget Lebron, Ray Allen, Dirk and Shaq? Zanchief is going to win it all it looks like. Was this a ladder draft? How'd you get them all!

Draft Result

http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.c ... aftresults

Some people had odd rankings so I let em slide a bit.

Like Shaq was 30th because of his FT% and his declining skills.

Basicly I went to the draft early, which you all had the oppurtunity of doing. Checked when I would draft at every position.

Like 1st at 4 than 19 then 26 or something like that all the way down to my final draft. Then I checked the list for players at those positions that I would would be steals and I drafted em.

I was really high of Gordon, Odom and Chandler. Those were the guys I really wanted to get. Oh well I got most of em. Drafting is an art form.

I would have sent PMs to all 11 of you but since you can't send mass PMs it's actually really tedious.

Susvain · Post by **Susvain** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:51 pm

So was it a ladder draft?

Like round 1, pick 1 got pick 12 round 2? etc etc..

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:52 pm

What's a ladder draft?

Zanchief · Post by **Zanchief** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:54 pm

1st Round

Vonk draft 1st.

Snero(chicks dig scars) drafted last.

Second round

Snero drafted 1st

Vonk drafted last.

Repeat until Zanchief has the best team.
