I'll mostly defer to everyone else on settings cuz I haven't played fantasy basketball in a long time and was never good at it, but I will thumbs up the decision to cut down on negative scoring because in my experience it always felt like more of a punishment for having guys playing at all rather than having guys that suck

I don't really have a problem with streaming but the league's pretty casual and I think the way the rules are currently set is probably fine. Not that I can speak for everyone but I mostly just want an alternative basketball focus when the Mavs play like they did tonight, I'm not really looking to scroll through injury reports every day trying to find a way to squeeze 15 points out of a SG spot starter If someone is looking to do that though I won't fight it

i'm not asking him to do too much. he got to showcase for any other owner in the future that might have a free spot and a phone notification saying "Anthony Davis ruled out." at the end of the year, when kelly oubre and buddy hield are lifting the trophy, having combined with another random pick-up to equal 1.2 lebrons, he'll be able to watch and know that he was technically on the team for 24 hours too, and approximately .4 of a lebron

My team was inspired by Kuzma and his professionalism and understanding in the face of adversity (ruthlessly cut within 24 hours) It was fun making up a 200 point deficit but the downside to leaning so heavy on the philly guys is when they only play on saturday and your opponent has a bunch of people playing FRI/SUN and the matchup is really close..... gonna need some really Oubre + Kuzma = Lebron style arithmetic out of, yknow, the Pelican backcourt or something. OR Dame has to light the Mavs up so badly they contract the franchise, which is possible. I'm happy with how my team's holding up though, I was banking a lot on the possibilities of post-Harden Christian Wood and his ankle turned to dust like the instant I drafted him One of us has to lose though. In the interest of fairness I think it should be Pop Dog

I lost this matchup by four first time 'round, and I entered today trailing by 4. Most of my studs are off/injured so I don't think I'm gonna pull off the upset but I caught a break with Trae sitting so maybe if Dame goes off and my tall stiffs grab a bunch of rebounds... My main takeaway though is we're all fuckin stupid for letting Russ fall to pick 40 lol, it's been incredible watching him 80 on me every other night while I watch Ben Simmons put up 40-year-old J-Kidd style statlines

Down ~90 points, my opponent is finished, and all I have left is Kelly Oubre and Buddy Hield. One of these guys is gonna give me 30 w/ 5 3PM and the other will score 2 and I'll lost the matchup by 10

Should've held firm to my principles and never trusted a Sixer, let alone two Also I probably should've been smarter with my last day micromanagement and realized Rick Carlisle calling Tim Hardaway "our ironman" meant he was about to get rested but I knew I wouldn't be home when injury reports came out and had to do something down ~200

Completely fine with expanding, re-aligning divisions, adjusting playoff structure, whatever. Last year was fun but I echo the opinion that the whole year was weird, we started late, etc. so I'm not married to anything exactly as it was last year (though given we've picked keepers I'd be opposed to dramatically overhauling the scoring system or something, not that anyone's proposed that) I'm not gonna go down swinging for this opinion but IMO you don't really need to do any special draft compensation for new players, a one keeper league doesn't necessarily spell the lasting doom of a dynasty or multi-keeper league would be and entering right now I don't think is all that much worse than picking 9th or something in the first place. Assuming they pick in the first after the keeper "picks" and then start the 2nd round, it's not getting to draft Jokic or Doncic but you can build a perfectly competitive core in those spots

I probably just worded it in a more confusing way than it needed to be, I'm off my posting game. Basically I'm just assuming any new team is picking twice before any established team makes a new pick and when I say "no draft compensation needed" it's because I think that's already fine. I think I phrased it that way because an old football league I was in handled expansion with a "keeper round" where it was a snake draft that started 1 thru whatever with the keeper "picks," then the new teams picked, then the new teams led off the 2nd round and then the old teams made their 2nd round picks and things proceeded as usual. i don't actually know if that's possible to do on FF but it's not actually that important if it is, it's just my frame of reference. It's also not important to adhere to my understanding of how to expand a league from a football league that died a decade+ ago lol

Rick posted:A) I think NAW is going to go nuts this year. I'm not 100% sure I even needed to draft him . . . . but I think Zion might not be the first or second option as the season starts and he plays his way back into shape especially if they do the weird minutes thing. NAW was definitely on my short list when you grabbed him. 1) Keldon Johnson. Just a carbon copy of last year would be fine (#88 in scoring last year, #100 off the board counting keepers) but with DeRozan gone and Pop talking about playing with pace and all that, I think 15-18 PPG and 7 or 8 RPG are in reach. HM to Isaac Okoro, who could outperform pick #159 (inc. keepers) by several rounds OR get cut by Thanksgiving 2) Hard to disagree with THJ but I also really really really love Dejounte Murray at 5.1 and feel like a total idiot for letting it happen. Also gonna agree with Portis in Round 10 being a good get

Last year everyone made the playoffs but I'm not sure if that's something we were committed to. I brought up wanting to shrink the playoff field but kinda dropped it because I felt silly advocating for such a fundamental change halfway thru the season. FWIW I would still like to trim it. Maybe like 7 teams with the #1 seed getting a bye or something?
