WTF NBA Fantasy League 2011-12

[Pharaoh]

Available package =

DaJuan Blair
Jason Richardson or Ben Gordon
Jameer Nelson

3 for 1 trades suck so feel free to include 2 bums you want to drop

I HATE having depth - I always tend to play the wrong guy on the wrong day! I'd much prefer to have 11 starters and my BN full of useless crap

[Glenn]

Who is "Ex Pistons fan"?

[lospistones]

Apparently everyone. Did you see how full the Palace was against Orlando?

[Pharaoh]

I hate Fantasy Basketball

Too many bench players and I always pick the wrong guy on the wrong day

BG has had 2 good games this season - I haven't played him yet

DaJuan Blair got 22 and 12 the other day... I didn't play him

Now I'm not so sure about trading BG and Blair but my team has started the season poorly and I need to do something.

The only guys not available are Rose, Lee, Horford, Bass and West.

Everyone else can be had for the right offer. Looking at the Standings I need points, 3's and steals in a big way....

I'm willing to do a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 swap if needed - but surely you guys have some bums on your team you'd be happy to drop?

[Glenn]

What's happening, gents?

Vinny?

[Pharaoh]

I'm fucked!

Rose and Horford - my top 2 picks are now injured!

And no one seems to want Caron Butler - who is ranked in the top 50. He's good all-round and no one wants him!

I've also been trying to trade the Morris boy from Phoenix with Butler. This guy is ranked in the top 60! Does it matter if I picked him off the waiver wire? Dude is producing all round...

But I wanted a shotblocker cause I have a couple f good all round types but no real blocker.

Tried to get a few guys using Morris and Butler... but no deal!

WTF?

I realise everyone must think Morris is a bum but the guy is producing and the way Phoenix play suits him. He can shoot from deep and is pretty efficient. Maybe everyone is waiting for Channing Frye to become a factor this season, or waiting for Hakim to do something? In the meantime Morris is doing a damn good job

I have no idea why people don't want Butler - the guy is getting feed by Chris Paul and the Clips have Griffin getting all the defensive attention. Butler is doing his job and doing it well. So what gives? Is the threat of injury enough to keep people away from him?

IF I had a quality shotblocker I wouldn't even think of dealing these guys.

If those guys in the middle of the pack (or on top) aren't willing to trade then there isn't much hope for the guys in the last few spots.

And that is exactly how I won this comp a couple of years ago. I traded more than anyone that season. Cross made the next most moves and came second. We mixed and matched our line ups all the time, picked up every free agent that got hot and gambled a lot when we traded

IF I come last this time around it won't be because I didn't try to change it up. I'm proposing deals left and right but it takes 2 to tango.

The following guys are available in trades:

Horford = lol

Collison = with Rose injured he's my only PG

Diaw = need him to keep coming up with big games now Rose and Horford are out

Butler/Morris = need them to remain on fire

Bass = here's hoping for a KG injury

Radmanovic = no Horford and no Marv means big playing time

J Rich = hot and cold... need more from him

Rush = has been a big surprise so far and Curry's ankle issues help

BG = cold as ice it seems but I hope he can start scoring some fucking points

As usual I'm willing to trade 2 quality guys for 1 outstanding player. IF I can swing a trade or 2 I'll just have to gamble that the bums I end up playing can do a decent job some of the time.

[Pharaoh]

Well, I proposed some deals and accepted the counter offers simply because I believe I had no choice.

Rose for Teague and Bosh

Butler + BG for Duncan + Grant Hill

Whyen you're coming last you have got to change things up and I tried to do that with these trades. I'm hoping my line up starts to dominate the FG%, Rebs, Blks, Least To's categories while still being reasonable at Pts, FT%, 3's, Asts and Stls.

My line-up will now be:

PG = Teague
SG = Iguodala
*G = Collison
SF = Diaw
PF = West
*F = Radmanovic
*C = Lee
*C = Duncan
*U = Bosh
*U = Bass
*U = J Richardson or Morris or Rush depending on the day/match-up

BN = Al fucking Horford! My 2nd pick! Here's hoping he can make it back before April 1st and give me a huge boost
BN = Big Baby - might be waived shortly
BN = J Rich/Rush/Morris
BN = J Rich/Rush/Morris
BN = Grant Hill - who will be waived the day the trade goes through

Here's hoping I changed my squad enough to make some kind of move over the next month... cause if not I'll probably have to go through the whole trade process again in February.

Not looking forward to that since by then I'm sure Vinny won't be the only one who has quit

Eat shit, Vinny!!

[lospistones]

I fucking left 79 points, 19 rebounds, 23 assists, 7 steals, 4 blocks, and 9 3PM on the board tonight by forgetting to set my roster. Fuck.

[Glenn]

Thanks?
