WAR NEVER CHANGES did you know: McDonalds blew a 3-1 Lead in the Moos Droo Finals VARIANT RULES RULE 1 - Positions G, G, G, SF, PF, PF, F, C, Util, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN The rosters and benches are extremely deep, so there will not be a lot of great talent on the wire - considering that, I've geared the starting positions to eliminate positional scarcity as much as possible. I based my math on historical Yahoo rankings and this year's Yahoo positions. Scarcity at shooting guard/center and over-abundance at power forward are my findings, and I'm mitigating them by installing three Guard spots with no SG required and an extra PF spot instead of the traditional extra C spot. RULE 2 - Continuous Rolling Waiver System (Updates Mon, Fri Morning) I like this system in NFL Fantasy and it works just as well in NBA. I was reluctant at first to sacrifice the 'art of the lightning fast injury pickup' but this hopefully makes it so members don't have to spend so much free time thinking about fantasy and reading alerts. It also discourages streaming. If you're anything like me you will let fantasy games win over your social life occasionally and so I want to remove the temptation as much as possible. The waiver claims will go into effect twice a week, once on Mondays at the start of the week and once on Fridays, permitting players to make adjustments heading into weekend games if they deem it necessary. RULE 3 - Trade Take-Backs 2-Day Evaluation Period The purpose of this rule is to encourage trade speculation but support fair trades. I will never unilaterally veto a trade unless I am somehow able to determine that its purpose is to disrupt the balance of the game on purpose. If both managers want to do the trade, they can do it. Even if it makes people mad. However, I need to provide some outlet for the persons who get mad about trades, because in many cases their complaints have merit. So here's the deal: If you can convince either side of a trade that they are making a bad trade, and they wish to cancel it, they can. I leave veto or 'take-back' power in the hands of the individuals making the trade. Another consequence of this rule is its implications towards player injuries that happen during the trade review period. If the injury happens after the trade has been accepted and the review period has already started, you're stuck with it - both sides lose their veto right. If the injury happened before the trade was accepted, both sides have the right to veto. I am aware that this logic is somewhat circuitous but I've thought it through and to me it's the best way to prevent common abuses.  SEASONS CHANGE BUT OUR LEAGUE IS FOREVER ALL-TIME STANDINGS 1.

You are one of our best drafters so if you're willing to do that, I'm confident that you'll find success once again. Everyone else seems like they can bend their schedules to make it, so I'll leave it there (not many options left anyway).

TRADE ALERT  NAPIER RENEGADEangel (spacejung) offers Eric Bledsoe (G, PHX, Yahoo! Rank 94, Round 3/Pick 28) to Easy Blake Oven (jabro) in exchange for Nikola Jokic (PF/C, DEN, Yahoo! Rank 139, Round 3/Pick 29) Both players are healthy at the time of this trade - an injury to either will lock the trade in. Take-back period will end at 13:38 PDT on Saturday, November 5, 2016 (if trade is not cancelled, traded players will be available in their new lineups on Sunday, November 6). For those rusty on the rules, you can counter-offer to either me or jabro if you think you can part with a better package. Good luck! spacejung fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Nov 9, 2016 |

TRADE ALERT  NAPIER RENEGADEangel (spacejung) offers Devin Booker (G, PHX, Yahoo! Rank 168, Round 6/Pick 69) (nice) to BGI's Ballers (Ishin) in exchange for Danny Green (G/SF, SA, Yahoo! Rank 514, Round 8/Pick 86) Devin Booker is healthy at the time of this trade. Danny Green is probable having recovered from a quad strain - this injury is considered pre-existing and does not lock in the trade, even if aggravated during in-game action. A new injury to either player will lock the trade. Take-back period will end at 16:14 PST on Thursday, November 10, 2016 (if trade is not cancelled, traded players will be available in their new lineups on Friday, November 11). And I won't screw it up this time I think. Counter-offers to Ishin or myself are welcome if you think you have something better to part with! Happy Erection Day!

MOOS DROO POWER RANKINGS #1: (WEEK 5) Just to begin with apology: sorry for not doing a league post-mortem last year. I enjoy doing that and I think it's important to sort of restore fantasy b-ball's place on the forums by looking a little more in-depth into the strategies that make this game so engaging. This year, I will try to to an excellent summary at the end of the year. In the meantime, to stimulate thought and conversation about possible trades, I plan to release an update approximately every 4 weeks with three pieces of analysis for each team: Market Ratings, Lineup Efficiency and Player Spotlights. First, I'll explain Market Ratings (MKT). This indicator attempts to guess whether each team's players are, in general, over or under-performing. Teams designated SELL may wish to take advantage of excellent performance by initiating trades; teams designated BUY may prove to be excellent targets for trade offers to move their under-performing or injured players. If a team's performing pretty much how it should or the future is unclear to me, I'll use the HOLD designation. Second, Lineup Efficiency (EFF) simply is a percentage that shows how often a manager remembers to set their lineups. As you can see, it's been a rough start for some of us. I truly do understand that there is more going on in the world. All I can ask is that you please try to set lineups as often as you can. If you don't think you can keep this figure over 50%, maybe consider adding a co-owner or turning the team over to another manager (HOTLANTA MAN is first in queue although I have no idea if they would be interested in taking over a team mid-season). Finally, Player Spotlights will single out a player who is either over or under-performing. The purpose of this is to identify possible trade targets. I think the overall parity of this league will be healthier with more trades. As always sound off in the thread or Yahoo! comments! With no further ado enjoy the first edition of Moos Droo Power Rankings. 1) Cruisin for a Boozin (Leader - STL) 21-15-0 4th (.583) MKT: SELL EFF: 93% Player Spotlight: Thabo Sefolosha (G/SF, ATL)  FA added 11/4. 15-16 Rank: 126. Current Value: 7th Round. With 2-3 steals per game off the wire, Sefolosha's hot start has helped vault Cruisin into the upper echelons of the season so far. There will always be questions about the 32-year-old's production and susceptibility towards leg injuries, but an aging Korver has opened the door for Thabo to rack up stats; his aggressive perimeter defense keeps him on the floor for the Hawks. 2) DeMars Rover (Leader - REB) 20-15-1 5th (.569) MKT: weak SELL EFF: 100% Player Spotlight: TJ Warren (SF, PHO)  Drafted 13th Rd, 12th Pick (156th overall). 15-16 Rank: 222. Current Value: 4th-5th Round. I will admit to being no fan of Earl Watson's rotations - it's no coincidence that I quickly traded my only PHO players shortly after the start of our season. There is room for optimism regarding Warren, who has proven a surprisingly effective source of points and steals in the early goings. Last week TJ fell out of the rotation amid illness and very poor shooting - where does he rank in the pecking order now, and is he HOLD, SELL or BUY? To me it's anyone's guess. 3) Klay-Doh (Leader - BLK) 21-14-1 3rd (.597) MKT: HOLD EFF: 89% Player Spotlight: Al-Farouq Aminu (SF/PF, POR)  FA added 10/31. 15-16 Rank: 73. Current Value: DNQ. Aminu made it about 8 games into the season before pulling up lame with a calf injury. The length of his injury has put a strain on his owners, but this promising 26-year-old is poised for a return in the near future - has he ceded minutes in his absence to Harkless et al, or will he return to start and offer his rare combination of threes and rebounds? 4) JrueIsTheWarmestColor 16-20-0 8th (.444) MKT: SELL EFF: 100% Player Spotlight: Nick Young (G/SF, LAL)  FA added 11/4. 15-16 Rank: 317. Current Value: 4th-5th Round. Uncle Rico Swaggy has gone from punch-line to puncher's chance as a scoring spark for the resurgent Lakers. Trade rumors abounded during the off-season and never quite went away; aside from that it's anyone guess whether LAL will opt to simply commit more minutes to their youth movement. Either event would throw a wrench into Young's offensive prospects (this also applies to L. Williams/Deng). 5) DickVitalesRightEye (Leader - PTS) 21-11-1 1st (.681) MKT: SELL EFF: 100% Player Spotlight: Eric Gordon (G, HOU)  Drafted 11th Round, 1st Pick (121st Overall). 15-16 Rank: 184. Current Value: 5th Round. The Eric Gordon story typically begins with huge per-game numbers and ends in brittle heartbreak. A new twist this season finds Gordon ceding his starting position to the returning Patrick Beverley. Early results indicate that the three-point shooting opportunities are still there, but Gordon's efficiency may plummet as he draws more defensive attention while leading the bench unit. 6) Manure Ginobili 22-12-2 2nd (.639) MKT: HOLD EFF: 100% Player Spotlight: Trevor Booker (PF, BKN)  FA added 10/31. 15-16 Rank: 157. Current Value: 3rd Round. Many are the times I wrung my hands over missing this player with my final draft pick. True to form, Manure Ginobili swooped in to grab the waiver wire find of the young season. Although the steal rate has cooled recently, Booker's efficiency stats are as excellent as ever. The productive role-player is under no minutes threat in BKN, and opportunities could even increase considering the durability of Lopez and Lin's potential to re-ignite the offense. 7) McDonald's (Leader - 3PM, AST) 17-18-1 6th (.486) MKT: HOLD EFF: 100% Player Spotlight: CJ Miles (G/SF, IND)  FA added 11/4. 15-16 Rank: 161. Current Value: 3rd-4th Round. Another November means another opportunity for CJ to put up big stats - it's consistency that has prevented Miles from finishing as a top-100 player in every fantasy season so far. With another MRI in the books, Miles is as big of a question mark as any player on this list. Miles has shot the ball well as a starter but is a perennial bet to take owners on a bumpy ride (likely one that lands him on and off the wire a few times) for the rest of the year. 8) RussellMania (Leader - FT%) 14-21-1 10th (.403) MKT: weak BUY EFF: 67% Player Spotlight: Andrew Bogut (C, DAL)  Drafted 10th Round, 7th Pick (115th Overall) 15-16 Rank: 81. Current Value: DNQ. Nothing coming out of Dallas sounds very good this season - with one of the worst records in the NBA and plenty of injury woes, Cuban has already begun to sound the alarm and we could see some moves in the near future. Bogut seems like a poor bet to earn value with a Maverick team that seems to prefer small lineups down the stretch. Keep in mind, however, that the embattled Aussie contributes big-man stats as well as any player in his range when the opportunity is there. 9) NAPIER RENEGADEangel (Leader - FG%) 15-21-0 9th (.417) MKT: BUY EFF: 100% Player Spotlight: Ricky Rubio (G, MIN)  Drafted 4th Round, 9th Pick (45th Overall). 15-16 Rank: 40. Current Value: DNQ. I'm not sure who is the disappointment of my young season, but Rubio has to be up there. I felt that even if the Timberwolves weren't ready to take "the next step," he certainly had already done so. An injury to his shooting elbow has so far rendered him a much less effective player on both ends of the floor, but there's really nothing I can do but wait for him to improve or decide to make a move. Some of you may have received an offer or two from yours truly during recent weeks. 10) Dion & The Waiters 15-18-3 7th (.458) MKT: BUY EFF: 89% Player Spotlight: Brandon Knight (G, PHO)  Drafted 8th Round, 5th Pick (89th Overall.) 15-16 Rank: 149. Current Value: DNQ. The wheels were already in motion for Knight to be the odd man out in the PHO backcourt, but Knight has put together some stirring performances in limited opportunities. A change of scenery would certainly help, but his competition is certainly not guaranteed to stay healthy and a starting role would immediately vault this 24-year-old into an extremely relevant fantasy position. 11) Easy Blake Oven (Leader - TOV) 14-22-0 11th (.389) MKT: BUY EFF: 89% Player Spotlight: Victor Oladipo (G, OKC)  Drafted 2nd Round, 8th Pick (20th Overall). 15-16 Rank: 38. Current Value: 6th Round. I'm naturally writing this after Home Dipo put together his best week of the short season, but nevertheless there is reason to doubt he will return his draft position as Donovan figures out how to balance the OKC attack. I've read discussion of a move to the bench, and various trades that would cut in to Victor's role in Oklahoma. The wait-and-see approach is valid here but I'm thinking sell windows may be few and far between in the months to come. 12) BGI's Ballers 12-24-0 12th (.333) MKT: BUY EFF: 67% Player Spotlight: Devin Booker (G, PHO)  Traded by NAPIER RENEGADEangel for Danny Green on 11/11. 15-16 Rank: 175. Current Value: 11th Round. There's a lot of opportunity for Devin Booker this year. For me, he seemed too risky to use in H2H, so I went in a pretty conservative direction with Danny Green. I chose three different Phoenix players for this write-up because there are so many position battles mixed with an unpredictable coach and an injury risk or two. Where there is risk, there is always opportunity and Booker probably has the highest chance of a breakout season of any player on the roster. I hope he gets traded a few more times this year - every league needs a good hot potato and I can't think of anyone better suited for it. OH YEAH ALSO!!! 1ST TEAM TO WIN 9-0 WINS AN AVATAR
