[Abraham]

I don't have enough roster spots. It shows I'm in the right league, but I'm capped out at 12 spots. Help! I'd hate for Josh Howard and Eddie Curry to not have a spot on the bench...

 

[Kraft...]

You have to pick your best 12, we drafted extra in case of injury etc.

What if I don't have a "best" twelve?

Then there is a chance I finish in 23rd.

Join the Club, Troy Murphy actually made my roster

 

[Abraham]

I lost to the Hawks, beat the Grizzlies by 5, and lost to the Heat by 26. Going to be a long year.

Going to roll for division from these 6 pots based on order of finish. Within each pot they'll be numbered 1-4, I'll roll a 4 sided die to determine which team goes in the Atlantic Division (top one on the screen). The rest of the teams will then be slotted in order.

Example: Pot 6 is 1 - Groovus, 2 - Chem X, 3 - Kraft, 4 - Cheese. If I roll a 4, Cheese is in the Atlantic, Groovus is Central, X is Midwest and Kraft is Pacific

Lol, pasting from excel apparently is no bueno...edit is above.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Ok - league has been realigned and the new schedule should generate "shortly". And then we dance.

 

[Juxtatarot]

How does it work once we start? How often are games played and how often can we change lineups?

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

You can adjust lineups for each game. There's one around noon and one late at night (1am?) each day.

Lucky for me I won't know if it's the sim engine or my craptastic team.

Honest question

What is the purpose of drafting before the season. Wouldnt it be just as challenging/fun to draft after the season

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Well, it's kind of like a fantasy draft.

We've done a few of them now for baseball it was suggested we give it a shot for hoops.

If you draft after the season, everyone has pretty much equal teams and we're all at the mercy of the sim. If you draft before the season, you can get a better team by picking guys who will outproduce ADP. Plus, you can root for your guys throughout the year.

Not to mention the people that end up with the top few picks basically get the best teams by default if you do post-season drafts.

 

[the moops]

Somehow I think the teams with Lebron and Durant are going to do just fine in this league as well

How do we get players from the waiver wire? How often can we pick them, what is the order, etc? tia

 

[Abraham]

You can't. There are no waivers in this league.

No waiver wire, you get what you get

So you can probably leave Derrick Rose off your rooster...

True, but the entire key-code isn't given to you ahead of time at least. I think it offers more variation in results.

Damn. OK then.

Can we continue to make trades throughout the season?

Yes, you can. I think there's a default trade deadline about 3/4 of the way in though.

You also can't use your computer generated players, though I'm tempted to play Albert Frankowski. Dude sounds like a baller.

The highlight of my season is likely to be that my team is playing in the Compaq Center, which is now the home of Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church.

Also, looking to trade some of my Poo Poo platter for a "marginally marginal center." At the moment Patrick Patterson is starting at C for me hwich means Jamison is playing substantial minutes and Love is getting 8 - EIGHT - minutes a game. Ooof.

They gave me a shooting guard who takes 0% of his shots from the perimeter.

What's the point of the computer-generated players? Why give us them but not let us choose 15 players for our rosters?

I probably screwed up. I checked the "allow rookies" check box thinking "well, my whole team is rookies so I better allow them", but I think these made up guys might be "rookies".

Confirmed. I just killed the rookies.

Albert!!!!!!!!

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

My rookies included a a PF and a C that could rebound and play a little D. No way I could resist playing those dudes.

 

[JMon348]

I made a huge mistake and wandered into the baseball forum and saw all the fun WIS drafts you had in there.

:( , very sad we can't get stuff like that started in here.

I think the main reason that hasn't happened is many don't like how basketball simulates.

We'll see how this goes and see if there's desire for another league...maybe historical or some other variation.

 

[scoobus]

I think this sim will perform much better than the ones where you mix eras.

 

[Notorious T.R.E.]

Looks like first games are overnight tonight. Wheeeeeeeee!

 

[scoobus]

I'm starting 2 PGs, an undersized PF, and 2 Cs.
