That honor belongs to the guy who drafted half his team in the 14th round.


Somebody has to finish last. I don't know why it can't be you especially since you have a reputation of continually getting exploited in trades.


So says the guy who somehow traded his way into having to draft 7 guys in the 14th round, without much to show for it. :lol:


to be fair both you guys made terrible, disgusting trades with fran. You guys might have just served the championship to him on a silver platter.

It was you who traded Myles Turner + stuff for Rondo + Aaron Gordon. Even with you extreme overrating of both players, it was a willing robbery. That's just laughable.

Well, according to projections, Yahoo and BBM I guess it wasn't much laughable. Sure anything is possible, the season is full of surprises but on paper it looks like it worked out for me. Not so much for WB and you. So there's that.

And even if we assume my price for Turner was low, that doesn't mean WB's trade and yours were anywhere near fair value. And that's probably why you put on the offensive instead of making legit arguments.

Yeah, if you're drafting based on yahoo projections, good luck.

Who said I drafted based on Yahoo projections which I don't even have access to. I just stated both BBM and Yahoo projections are showing the trades I've done worked for me on paper and in theory.

Not really sure why fran posted projections through 14 weeks. Seems like it should be through 19 so that they have each team playing each other team once.

The 14 refers to rounds of drafting since we have 14 players. The bbm projections are based on per game stats as we face each team h2h so it does account for each team facing other teams once. The 14 games refers to game per player. If a team shows 13 it may be because a player isn't active or have projections on bbm

I'm not doubting your word about not using the projections, but I want to point out that everyone with an internet connection had access to them:

Thanks Geo. I even figured that out last night, and then forgot that I had figured it out today. :oops:

I meant the team standing and total projections for whole league that you linked in the previous page.
Sure one could have put in all players on Excel and try to have an idea about the league but I'm lazy and it's too much work and to be frank Yahoo is a little lacking in projections

You can pick holes in the yahoo player projections, but I haven’t found a free site that is better. ESPN doesn’t even project half the players we drafted.

yeah when I say lacking, I say with respect to BBM. ESPN isn't even in the conversation, I've opened ESPN fantasy only 3 times in the last 3 years and I don't think I've ever visited their site this year. ESPN sucks big time.
BBM is quite good though. I asked a friend about FFL and he gave me insight about my needs.

Hassan Whiteside may be available. This isn't a fire-sale, I just need to trade blocks and boards dominance for other dominant categories like points, assists, and steals.

Projected stats seem to be filling in. Darren Collison has projections now.

gives different results than before, likely better.

If any of you guys are interested in joining an additional league, I'm running the RealGM Fantasy Experience, a fantasy basketball league that is similarly open only to affiliates of RealGM. This is the fourth straight year I've run this league, and we chat on the Yahoo league messenger almost every day. Trades are frequent and the waiver wire is rampant. Plenty of people came back for Year 4, but we still need a few more members to reach 16. If you want to join, I really urge that you're someone who's not only going to be active in the league, but in the chat as well. Here are the league details:

Platform: Yahoo
Number of Teams: 16 (Top 8 make playoffs)
Format: Head-to-Head One Win
Categories: Standard 9 Category
Draft Type: Standard Live
Time of Draft: Sunday, October 15 8:00 PM Eastern Time (PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU CAN ATTEND!)

If you want to join, message me with your interest!

That is not from yahoo actually. It's from our stats provider. I see Rondo marked as injured, btw. It's still several days before season starts, so I doubt you see stuff like that be prompt until season start.
