The season is approx 1 month awat and there has been no mention of WTF having a Fantasy Comp (:

Lucky my Boss wanted me to start one for him and a few of his mates... and I did!

Right now there are 3 spots remaining...

Yahoo League ID # 918
Password = Paranoid

First come first serve

Glenn is already in :)

So if any of you guys want to try and dethrone the WTF Champion from last season get amongst it and sign up

As fun as having your pride and soul crushed by me can be, at least.

I thought people would jump at the chance to dethrone you GD. It seems no one has the sack to take you on.

I've got one more option I'll investigate today - otherwise I'll have to open it to the public.

Are you interested Joe or only using my thread to advertise your league

Glenn
09-30-2012, 10:56 AM
You need a new sig, P

Joe Asberry
09-30-2012, 11:11 AM
i might be interested, let me think about it for awhile, 27. would be a good fit + i also might need some new guys for my league, but thats not settled yet ;)

Pharaoh
10-01-2012, 04:10 AM
why do I need a new sig? What happened to No Quarter? I love that sig!

Joe - sign up mate. I'm begging you :)

You never know - someone people in my league might want to join your league too

I thought filling 3 spots would be easy as can be - thought most of the regulars here would jump at it. Anyone want to explain why no one is interested?

Gla won't let me.

Pharaoh

He's not the Commish Tahoe - you can join if you want

I have to say I'm really disappointed that I can't get 4 guys from here to join a league. I basically had to beg Glenn to join and now I have to do Mock Drafts on Yahoo and advertise the league that way.

I really thought getting 3 of you + GD would be easy. I actually thought I'd have to many people wanting to join, that's why I got GD first!

After all these years posting together I can't get 3 more guys? Really?

Glenn
10-02-2012, 06:42 AM
You didn't have to beg me, btw, I didn't even think twice, it just took me a few days to register.

I'd rather get some public players than any if these guys that quit after they draft a shitty team, anyways.

Pharaoh
10-02-2012, 08:05 AM
I'll do a Mock or 2 over the weekend and ask people in the Mocks if they want to join

Next Monday I'll open it to the public

lol. I think you actually believe yourself.

It took GD awhile - but he's a busy man so I understood. I just didn't want to open it to everyone else without the defending champion already on board.

Stupid me thought the remaining 4 spots would be taken on the first day of this thread and poor GD would miss out!

Looks like opening it to the public is how it's gonna be - and that sucks IMO

Pity Cross isn't around - he finished 2nd the last 2 seasons I've participated and he'd be willing to take GD on...

Come on guys - is there no one going to try and dethrone GD?

Pharaoh
10-03-2012, 04:33 AM
As a last resort I went to Real GM to advertise the league.

Fuck ALL of you who made me do that!

FYI - there is talk here in Oz of us playing for cash... since 6 of us are here. Prizes would be 1st, 2nd and 3rd...

Not sure yet if you'll get anything GD - I think it's only for the Oz boys but I'll find out.

50 bucks each * 10 of us (if everyone puts in - like I said not sure yet) = possible $500 prize pool

$250 for first
$150 for 2nd
$100 for third

So it looks like I missed the draft, and it shows.

My squad looks like a lottery team. 3 Wizards, 2 Bucks, 2 Suns and some assorted other garbage.

I'll still win, probably.

Pharaoh
10-31-2012, 08:18 AM
I noticed you were guard heavy but you won last season with a similar team so I thought it was your plan.

Pretty happy with my squad:

Mo Williams
Monta Ellis
Brandon Knight
Kevin Durant
Kris Humphries
Klay Thompson
Pau Gasol
Serge Ibaka
Marcin Gortat
Ray Allen

with AK47, Pekovic and Vasquez as possible players/bench players

As usual I'm happy to make the 2 "mid range" players for 1 "stud" + 1 "bum" kind of trades GD - so make me some offers and we'll see what we see :)

Pharaoh
11-10-2012, 07:09 PM
I'll take this opportunity to say: BOOM! First place :)

FWIW my team:

PG: Rondo
SG: Mo Williams
*G: Klay Thompson
SF: Durant
PF: Pau Gasol
*F: AK47
*C: Gortat
*C: Ibaka
*U: Thad Young
*U: Brandon Knight or Ray Allen or Vasquez

Right now I have Robin Lopez on the bench but with Davis returning to action I'll likely drop him

GD - I obviously don't want to part with Rondo, Thompson, Durant, Gasol, Gortat, Ibaka.... everyone else can be had for the right price :)

Also loving the fact we've only got 13 players per team... there are quite a lot of decent free agents available. If I can do my usual 2 mid range players for 1 gun and 1 bum trades I'll be laughing.

Too soon to tell what my needs will be... I think I've got a well rounded team

Glenn

Trade!

Whoop Whoop!

I'ma get into a league tonight. Been a while. 6 years orso.

Trade!

Whoop Whoop!

Nice pulling the wool over my mate AJ - who is a rookie. Hibbert and Faired for Dragic and Markieff Morris - aka a bum!

He's trading 2 quality bigs - and you only give him Dragic?

Poor form GD - I would have expected more from you :)

That said I think AJ has done the deal because Love returned and created a log jam. His team after this trade:

Westbrook
Matthews
Dragic
Iggy
Horford
Deng
Love
Brook Lopez
Asik

The other utility spot probably goes to Rubio when he returns but until then he'll have to use Hayward, Barnes or Morris

GD's team after the trade:

CP3
Kev Martin
Lawson
Paul George
Faired
Metta World Peace (what kidn of stupid name is that!)
Hibbert
Mullens
Millsap

Other utility spot filled with Hickson, Lin, Aaron Brooks or Jason Thompson.

I'm guessing you'll be dropping someone soon GD - you now have much better balance though.

WTF is going on with Lin? Shooting like a bum!

And FWIW - my team:

Rondo LMAO
Knight/Ray Allen/Mo Williams
Vasquez
Durant
Gasol
Klay Thompson
Gortat
Ibaka

Utility spots can be filled with one of those guards or AK47, Thad Young or Aminu

Glenn
11-27-2012, 07:35 PM
I don't know who he is or how long he's played fantasy. I tried to get Brook Lopez from him and he rejected and offered a completely different deal, this one.

I'm buying low on Hibbert, but between he and Faried, I'm pretty much accepting my fate as the big loser of the FT category.

I wouldn't have done the deal if I didn't have 5 good PGs. Dragic is having a career year and I'm a fan.

Glenn
11-27-2012, 07:37 PM
Actually didn't really want to give up Morris either, he's tearing it up since busting into the Suns starting lineup.

Pharaoh
11-27-2012, 08:45 PM
Hey man, just giving you shit.

I think the deal works for both of you.

Glenn
11-27-2012, 08:53 PM
Morris is giving me a shit game as a going away gift. He'll probably turn it back on in a few days.

I thought for sure that Joe was going to draft one if the Morrises. He loves him some "stretch fours". Like Charlie V and Sheed.

Pharaoh
11-27-2012, 09:21 PM
I think AJ will drop Morris anyway dude - there are much better FA's available IMO

I'm guessing you don't want Ibaka anymore

Glenn
11-28-2012, 03:32 PM
WTF is going on with Lin? Shooting like a bum!




Wed, Nov 28
Lin had 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting, including a three-pointer, four rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 38 minutes Tuesday. He turned the ball over three times.

Recommendation:
It was probably Lin's best game as a Rocket with a plus-25 plus-minus rating and production across the board.

Say more shit about my guys, please.

Pharaoh
11-28-2012, 04:40 PM
Typical - just like Rondo he used my comments to turn it all around :)
