I'm in if there's a slot, didn't have my poo poo together in time for most leagues kicking off, but this seems like a particularly nutty season for a fantasy league and I'd love to get one going. The scoring system you posted looks great to me

Side note that the color-coding by position on this draft board is really cool Also Joploo just PMd me and s/he is super busy right now but would like to draft Daniel Gafford (C, Chi) with the 15th overall pick  kalensc posted:I considered Harden at 2 overall. rivetz fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Jan 14, 2021 |

I was reading up on him and had totally forgotten that he tore an ACL in his knee in 2017 and was out for 11 months. I get that not all ACL tears are the same but I'm surprised we don't hear more about that as a success story. I wonder where his statistical improvement post-recovery ranks among players who have recovered from a similar injury to play again. There are a number of guys who have done that of course, but I can't think of any of them who continued to elevate their game like he has since coming back.

I'm with you on Indiana, they don't seem to have any huge weaknesses. I feel like all they're missing is some consistent scoring from a wing, and if they can get that from LaVert or Warren come playoff time, they're going to be a legitimate threat to make the ECF. My only concern w then is depth in the frontcourt, not sure what they'd do if they lost Turner for any significant length of time. It seems like he's so active on the defensive end and creates opportunities for everyone else, stuff that doesn't show up on the box score Also I have a feeling I'm going to regret passing up Brandon Clarke for JJJ, but I really wanted him and was afraid he wouldn't be there if I didn't reach a bit. Isn't he supposed to be pretty close to returning? rivetz fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Jan 21, 2021 |

Man as a first-time fantasy-NBAer I am getting repeatedly cccclowned, I keep forgetting to update my roster and losing my top two guys (KD/AD) absolutely saps my will to live. I swear I'm gonna update the poo poo out of everything going forward and spoil the gently caress out of everybody's aspirations down the stretch.

I may come to regret giving up on JJJ but I thought he'd be back a lot sooner. I would be surprised if he was back before April, and I'm sure they're going to take it really slow easing him back into the rotation. DeAndre Hunter's injury isn't as bad and has a much better recovery outlook, plus he's apparently ahead of schedule on getting back on the floor.

Thrilled just to be at .500 after being without both AD and KD for this stretch. If I can scrape together enough points to stay in the mix until they get back on the court I can be the scrappy underdog nobody wants to face™

I'm having a lot of fun with this league/season and am totally glad I did it. Way more fun than fantasy football imo, probably because with the amount of games you're less likely to be torpedoed when a star lays an egg, and you don't worry as much about favorable/unfavorable matchups. The initial draft is obviously key, but you can make up a lot of ground by hustling on the free agents. Thanks for putting this together, Rick, it's dope and I'm definitely in for next season.

I've done some poking around on best value, biggest reach etc on this league's draft and yeah he's by far the steal. Chris Paul at #69 also sticks out. Honestly there were very few colossal gaffes in the draft

I'm probably gonna lose because I forgot once again that sometimes games start at 10 am Pacific time. Honestly losing will be a relief, it's pretty demoralizing to invest time day after day after day into cobbling together a starting lineup of marginal starters only to tie with someone who hasn't touched their roster in months yet still automatically puts up virtually the same score. Lesson thoroughly learned: do not build your roster around injury-prone players

Wondering how folks feel on whether it would make sense to have either an additional bench slot or one less active lineup spot next season. Most of the time (just about all the time, in my experience) there's zero flexibility afforded in deciding who to start. I"m sure part of this is injury woes across the league making roster management trickier, but there seems to never be a choice on lineup. Most days it's just "start literally anyone/everyone who's playing that night", which obviously is still fun, but there's almost no decision-making or gambling on your lineup choices. Today was the first day literally all season that I actually had to choose between a pair of starters, and it was only because starting Porzingis would mean taking him off IR and releasing someone else off the team. At no point in this season have there been any moments like hmmm start [high-usage 6th man] against Portland's dogshit defense or [starting PG] against Utah. I don't know if that kind of juggling is more frequent in a normal season, or if it's even preferable, but this season has been largely ride-or-die w your draft and not much lineup flexibility night-to-night. Not sure if anyone agrees/cares, just thinking out loud EDIT: Also Rick I don't suppose being GM unlocks any export capabilities not available to regular members? Part of me want to dump everything into a spreadsheet and wallow in league stats for poo poo like biggest bust based on draft position, biggest steal not named Russell Westbrook, top undrafted player etc etc Some of this could be pulled by other means but it would be a lot easier if there was a way to take the Lothlorien season specifically and dump it to csv w scoring system intact if that makes sense. I assume that's a no but thought I'd ask. rivetz fucked around with this message at 15:26 on Apr 29, 2021 |

This seems overbalanced, I don't see why we don't revert to serpentine coming out of the second. If we go off the idea that the keepers are top five picks, then we should proceed as if they were are picks at the top of the first, and we therefore slot in at the bottom of the second. Assuming that all keepers would be gone in the first two rounds, that translates to my 2nd and 3rd picks being 25 (okeedoke) and 38 (huh?) Makes me wish I hadn't selected a keeper. I'm fine w compensation in the second but the third is ugh imo. Current setup effectively guarantees the new teams a pair of quality players in the first two rounds that can carry a team, that should be the goal.

Rick posted:Then it snaked normally. Was this better? Also I'm probably missing something obvious but the other option here would be to just release the keepers from any teams that we can all agree are inactive, i.e. haven't contacted you and haven't posted in this thread in 2021 or whatever. Anyone too busy to post a "yeah sure" even once in the last six months isn't gonna be engaged in the season anyway; I'd rather have a smaller league than one with 50% dead teams, especially If the injury situation is anywhere as bad. rivetz fucked around with this message at 01:22 on Sep 17, 2021 |

I don't think we need a redo, once Boromir Don't Lie picks let's either shuffle the remainder or just leave as, and finish out the 2nd round w serpentine that rolls forward from there. If you're a new member you got a late first and early second just like the team you're replacing.

I was gonna propose that if someone misses something like three consecutive picks commish can auto-draft for em at their discretion or upon informal threadvote or whatever, but I just looked back at the timeline of notifications from last year's draft and the whole thing was fifteen days?!? hilariously I would've sworn it was literally like twice that long
