Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

This is so confusing. We can't do it like this again, the roster tools are not meant to do multiple things at once.

Also general note that I'm interested in pick swaps in the mid-rounds if you want KD or if I wind up grabbing someone else you had your eye on.

Lol so I misclicked and wanted Westbrook

Rick you able to make that fix before next pick goes up?

Edit: or is there a tool to make the swap myself, I just spaced out after clicking a LAL player I had starred, sigh

Done--I think you can hit undo on draft results pages as well until the next person drafts. I don't 100% know for sure since I can't look at it like a non-admin but people refund their picks without me somehow.

The blessing and curse of repeat fantasy leagues is knowing w ironclad confidence who another GM is going to draft and gritting your teeth as you scratch em off your board. There are two more picks before mine and approx 0% chance the guy I want will still be there

Yeah...with another on deck who can still change their mind.

It's something that is either going to make all of us look stupid for passing on him (since we all did) or smart if he's healthy this year. I wasn't going to let him go by another round.

The thing with you injury prone guys on stacked teams is that you know they’re going to sit a lot. Even if they don’t suffer any major boo boos, Davis and Irving are going to play 65 or so games between minor scrapes and rest

Yeah I've had him in Dejan Fantasy the last two years. Davis was good enough a couple years ago that him playing once a week was enough to swing wins in blocks/steals categories which often changed a loss into a win. But last year he was so bad from the field and played so rarely that he was kind of an anchor as an undroppable player in a covid season where I could've used the single IR spot.

Not sure how that works out in an aggregate game instead of categories.

Davis and KD were my first picks in Lothlorien last year and drove me nuts all season, this thread is littered with my posts grousing about em. I swore I wasn't going to roll those dice again but at 25th or whatever I had to pull the trigger

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.

I do want to say I haven't stopped thinking about this part here. It is unfortunately a normal part of fantasy sports that people go inactive after the first month. And the fact we only had two really inactive teams (both of whom had a good reason) is actually lucky. But there definitely is potential for it to get worse as we expand. So, I think if it gets to the point where we have more than a couple inactive teams around half way through the season, we can explore nationalizing these teams and sending doing a redraft of their benches or something like that.

Hey Dejan has been fine!


Lol but uhh . . . we are on pace to not make the start of the season at this point. Do we stay chill for now and then ratchet it up when it gets closer? Or should we switch to like 8 hours during the day on weekdays and 12 hours on evenings/weekends/holidays?

Also if anyone has a better idea than my random draft thing I'm willing to hear it.

I will keep this in mind for you and be patient. I'm not in a super rush to pick for anyone anyway, it's weird.

rivetz posted:

Ha, yeah he originally was going to be my pick on the next swing around but I just had a feeling we were at the point where people were ready to take that swing after so many reliable people were scooped up this round.

Thanks Rick. On the other hand I genuinely didn’t realize I was up when you sent me the nudge email, so I do have to be better about tracking it. Seems like it’s moving a lot faster this time around but also my job situation could not be more different than it was during the last one

Edwards was a stretch too. But he’s gonna get a LOT of burn and his numbers at the end of last season were remarkable. Basically a 25/10 guy. Tough to pass up CP3 (multiple times) but man, we all were, until directly after I drafted A1. He shouldn’t be too hampered by his wrist injury and should be really consistent.
Is the thinking that he’ll get injured or he’ll take a big step back during the regular season and Book will step up? It is a fairly deep team so they might not be relying on CP3 as much either.
