GC's Yahoo! H2H League 2014-15 thread: Yahoo league is live!

Wow, so I guess I get the #1 pick.

glad for you Kwhit, but man Cleveland... you have to wonder if they'll mess this pick up too. I'd frankly be embarassed to have won the lottery 2x in 3 years and be back there, never mind win it again.

I think it's absurd they've won it again. But for fantasy purposes I will not complain.

Yeah i didn't mind when ORL won in back to back years, but 3 out of 4 AND having won the Lebron sweepstakes and your team STILL is a mess??!?!

Was talking with a Philly fan today (hey he's a good friend...) and saying I feel much more confident that BOS or PHI will be dominant again before CLE b/c of the quality of leadership each team has or doesn't have.

I don't doubt that at all. The lottery is not all It's cracked up to be as you can tell there are a lot of usual suspects in it every year.  The LBJs and Durants don't come often. Team leadership is a huge aspect.

Btw, I am pulling for the Jugg's 10.3% in this one.

Ditto.

Perhaps, the only GM who did not tank (blatantly?) (i.e. not setting his lineups, having some inactive players on his roster etc.)

Good luck, Juggs.

I assumed MK was rooting for Juggs b/c his pick's fate was tied to the Celtics...

Of course. I have no horses in this race.

i've been trying to get into this league for years is the spot still available

I certainly could be mistaken, but weren't you removed for inactivity?  Or was that the other league? Or am I just totally wrong?

It was in it when it began but they said i was inactive but it wasn't true and i am currently in the points league and getting better day by day.  I don't believe i was inactive but because i wasn't posting i was inactive.  I made trades also but they said i was inactive.  i really want another chance at this league.  I am very active in the points league.  So all i need is a chance to be able to dominate you guys.  LOL

I'm happy to see teams chomping at the bit but just fair warning that I likely won't reopen trading until right around the time of the real NBA draft (in a month).

This is b/c I'm doing some internal review of the league (and heading into my busiest 2-3 week stretch at work).

Deals in principle are fine but not binding and deals involving your 2015 picks won't be allowed until our H2H league draft.

I love quoting my own posts.

Provided my list is correct, a couple of interesting notes:

1. Kwhit, with #1 & #20, provides bookend to the first round
2. Webkins hold 4 first round picks; 2, 12, 15, & 19
3. Juggs hold 3 first rounders; 3, 6, and 14.
3. MMSB (4&13) and Eja (10&11) also have two first round picks.

Please do keep in mind this *is* UNOFFICIAL (but looks good on first glance).

The final draft order will be finalized in the next few weeks pending review by the commish.

Since I've already had 1 trade submitted, i wanted to reiterate this point.

Trades made between teams are fine -- but they are not binding (i.e. either team can still back out if they decide to, i'm not getting involved even if the trade has been sent to me) and can't involved 2015 picks until our h2h draft (usually in Aug IIRC, but i'll have to look).

[Eja117]

My roster is as follows and I'm ready to start talking.  I am somewhat curious to see how the actual NBA draft falls first

pg Jeremy Lin
pg Nate Wolters
pg Jordan Farmar
pg Matthew Dellavedova
sg Wesley Matthews
sg Marcus Thornton
sg Xavier Henry
sf Demarre Carrol
sf Anthony Bennett
sf James Johnson
pf Ersan Ilyasova
pf Mason Plumlee
C Spencer Hawers
C JaVale McGee
C Anthony Davis
C Lucas Nogiera

9th pick
10th pick

and I think I have like 30,31, and 36

Guys reasonably available....Javale McGee and Ersan

Guys unavailable....Anthony Davis....aka the single most valuable keeper fantasy league player in the league.  I would need maybe the top 3 picks in this draft or some such thing. Maybe more. I couldn't end up with two low end all stars and a guy with a bad back for him.
Anthony Bennet....I can't sell so low on him right now. Also Mason P hasn't peaked either

Guys available cheap that could help you....Xavier H, Jordan F, James Johnson

Things I'm looking for....I have a lot of big man depth right now so probably not a big
