Dabods,

     I have a suggestion for the open spot.

     I think the old MSNBC poster known as "NC" or "Terry Bull" would be an awesome fit for this league.  If not, I'd love to get Eric ("PrplReign") into the league as well.

     I've got E-mail addresses for both of these guys, if you'd like for me to check with them.  

     Of course, any of the folks from here would also be really good.  Where's Rolando?  How about jn?  

     Lots of folks, and Drom's got a good base to build from (2nd in the season, 3rd in the post-season).  

                                                             Joe

There were a few people who wanted in last year, I figured someone would have jumped at this.

Feel free to give an e-mail out to anyone whom you would like Joe.

Dabods,

I will also be leaving the league. It was an interesting experience, but not one I've enjoyed enough to repeat. Managing an FNBA team well takes more time than I have to give it.

shame gaither, it was nice having you join us.

Joe: any update?  Now that we have 2 slots to fill, heh.

Haven't sent out the E-mails yet, as I've had a consultant in here the last week.

I'll try to get those messages out by the weekend.

Post by: Joe Vancil on May 03, 2004, 12:39:01 PM
Just heard from NC this morning - he doesn't have the time available to do it.

I'm going to contact PrplReign and HC.  JoMal and jn are here, aren't they?  Grab those guys!

 
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Ted on May 04, 2004, 04:54:41 PM
I know someone I could invite. He is an excellent fantasy player and is very conscientious about checking his team. And he doesn't offer or accept terrible trades.

EDIT: Maybe we could consider this person as an option of some of the people Joe's talking about don't join. Personally, I think it would be better to get someone who is known by most people here. But if not, this guy is a solid player; I've played in baseball, football, and basketball leagues with him for three years. In fact, the bastage beat me in the championship round of our NBA league a few weeks ago.

I'll ask him today.

What should I do if he says yes?
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Derek Bodner on May 25, 2004, 05:19:39 PM
Tell him he's got it, heh.

We've given everyone currently associated with the board ample time to take one of the 2 teams, now it just becomes a matter of filling it with qualified, competitive people.

He wants it.

He should be emailing you today.

I've got another friend who is interested in the last fantasy league team, assuming everyone is cool with it.  He's not a big follower of basketball, but he is an experienced fantasy league player in other sports.

Also, I've not heard anymore about the lottery.  Are we just waiting to get the spots filled?

 
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Derek Bodner on June 29, 2004, 09:02:57 AM
The lottery was going to be held the 27th, but since the team's have not yet been filled I haven't done so.  The guy Ted was talking about e-mailed me, but when I asked him which team he'd like he never responded.

Here are the 2 open teams.:
Davis, Baron (PG-NO)
Wallace, Ben (FC, PF-Det)
Pierce, PaulIL (SG-Bos)
Terry, Jason (G, PG-Atl)
Boozer, Carlos (FC, PF-Cle)
Rose, Jalen (GF, G-Tor)
Grant, Brian (FC, C-Mia)
Howard, JoshIL (GF-Dal)
------------------------------
Hinrich, Kirk (G, PG-Chi)
Jefferson, Richard (SF-NJ)
Johnson, Joe (GF, SG-Pho)
Anthony, Carmelo (SF-Den)
Richardson, Jason (SG-GS)
Robinson, Clifford (FC-GS)
McInnis, Jeff (PG, SG-Cle)
McKie, Aaron (GF-Phi)
Magloire, Jamaal (C-NO)
Howard, Juwan (PF, F-Orl)
Stoudemire, Amare (PF-Pho)


Also, does anyone know any good lottery simulation programs?  The only thing I've really found is:
http://www.agribiz.com/merchdiz/RandomGenerator.htm (http://www.agribiz.com/merchdiz/RandomGenerator.htm)
Enter in 1 ball, with a maximum number of 6 (with 1 being the 7th place finisher, 2 being the 8th place finisher, and so on), and assign order that way.  then doing the same thing for teams 1-6.

Of course, then people would have to trust them that I'm not screwing them :)
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Derek Bodner on June 30, 2004, 08:02:36 PM
one team has been filled, meaning this is the remaining team:

Hinrich, Kirk (G, PG-Chi)
Jefferson, Richard (SF-NJ)
Johnson, Joe (GF, SG-Pho)
Anthony, Carmelo (SF-Den)
Richardson, Jason (SG-GS)
Robinson, Clifford (FC-GS)
McInnis, Jeff (PG, SG-Cle)
McKie, Aaron (GF-Phi)
Magloire, Jamaal (C-NO)
Howard, Juwan (PF, F-Orl)
Stoudemire, Amare (PF-Pho)

Post by: Joe Vancil on June 30, 2004, 10:31:11 PM
I'll let my friend, Travis Schoengarth, know about the team and make sure he still wants in.

 
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Derek Bodner on July 12, 2004, 01:52:31 PM
Update?  should I look for someone else?
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Joe Vancil on July 13, 2004, 10:19:07 AM
Grr.  Yeah, I think you'd better.  I can't get hold of Travis;  he may be out-of-town, but then again, he may be tied up with something else.  I just don't know.

Hey, Ziggy - put some pressure on Caleb about joining up with us.  He's a friend of mine and Skander's, and if you were to ask him, he'd probably get involved.  He's started following basketball a lot more closely this off-season, and I think he'd do it if you were to ask.

Ok will do.  If he plays basketball does that mean you will play baseball next year?

I sent him an email, and did a little begging.  He is a very good baseball player, so I hope he does it because he will be a good basketball coach.  No reposnse yet, but I will hound for a few days.

Man, you guys sure are a pain in the rear.   :D

Okay, you talked me into it.  After giving it a lot of thought, I'll give it a shot and do my absolute best not to be the league's whipping boy.

AWESOME!  Great to have you on-board, Caleb.

For those of you who don't know Caleb, he's a friend of mine and Skander's, a great guy to talk sports with, competitive but not a jerk about it, and an all-around nice guy.

Plus, my understanding is that GenHexxed is sharing his stolen copy of Basketball Jihad's list of players he wants to draft this year with him!

Post by: Derek Bodner on July 19, 2004, 11:02:20 AM
great.  i'm going to start the lottery now (since it was supposed to happen June 27th).

I'm using this as a lottery generator:
http://www.agribiz.com/merchdiz/RandomGenerator.htm (http://www.agribiz.com/merchdiz/RandomGenerator.htm)
With 1 ball and 6 numbers drawn.  I'll post screenshots as they happen.

I'm breaking it into 2 groups, the non-playoff teams (who will get choices 1-6), and the playoff teams (getting choices 7-12).

For non-playoffs teams, here are the numbers:
1 Bod
2 BBF
3 Spurs3X
4 Caleb
5 Randy
6 Ted
(*NOTE* this order was based on finish.  All numbers have an equal chance of being selected.  The order of finish was just to assign abitrary # values).

I will post screenshots of each selection.  If a # has already been picked, it will just be ignored.

Starting now...
 
Title: Fantasy League Team open
Post by: Derek Bodner on July 19, 2004, 11:05:19 AM
and the first selection goes to:
BBF
