GC's Yahoo! H2H League 2015-16 thread: League is LIVE on Yahoo! Go there!

Who is the Thundering Herd, and are they from Cortland, NY?

I am from Boston Live in Georgia.
I just always like the name Thunder Herd from Mashall.
Look forward to winning soon in this league.
Hopefully all my key players will heal. Bosh, Irving and KD.

[DinoGanga]

I probably can't use all 6 first rounders and 2 second rounders.
What should I do?

Give some to the commish as a show of gratitude and good will

I'm assuming you were just asking that rhetorically and/or with tongue-in-cheek.

In the off chance you were not -- or for other new/returning GMs -- just a few reminders about the "offseason". You and other teams will have plenty of time to get back down to 16 players:


June/July/Aug -- The league will essentially hibernate. Teams may agree to trades, but they are NON-BINDING, meaning either team may back out w/ no reprecussions and WILL NOT be processed until Sept. 1. (The official moratorium failed a vote last summer, leaving it up to the commish... some dope named Gainesville Celtic. )


June 25 -- The real 2015 NBA draft


Sept. 1 -- GC's Yahoo H2H eague Moratorium will be lifted, offseason trades may formally be submitted and processed.


mid-Sept -- our 2-round rookie draft will be held. From our draft to the cutdown date you can carry more than 16 players (in your case DinoGanga, you might have upwards of 22 players if you don't make any pre-draft moves).


mid-to-late Oct. -- Cutdown date -- after drafting and trading described above, teams have to get down to 16 players by making any necessary cuts.

Wow, 6 picks in the top 20? That's a really good start for your rebuild. There will be a lot of very good players availability to you. I am a little bit jealous.

Weird, three teams hold 14 of the 20 first round picks:

6 Beantown (10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17)
5 Eja (3,4,8,19,20)
3 MMSB (1, 9, 18)

I read this as Crotorland, NY at first LOL.

That put a smile on my face. But that's not why I'm bothering to log in. I've got some constructive draft notes for the new commissioner/league champion in advance of the draft lottery. (It's a real Rogue's Gallery of NBA franchises at the top of the lottery this year isn't it?)

[The Walker Wiggle]

13 I Hate You WW.
14 Beantown Cocksmiths (via Bad Dream Team)
15 Birdman
16 Beantown Cocksmiths (via KissinCousins)
17 Beantown Cocksmiths (via Rusted Rims)
18 MMSB (via DD, GC, Utah)
19 Eja (via Utah, YH)
20 Eja (via GC)

Round 2
21 MMSB
22 Eja (via Webskins)
23 Gainesville Celtics (via-Highway Sixers)
24 Yall Hate
25 Thundering Herd
26 MMSB (via Jugg, GC, Utah)
27 Eja (via LB17, TB)
28 Highway Sixers (via Eja)
29 MMSB (via COYS)
30 Bad Dream Team (via Beantown)
31 Highway Sixers (via TB, Eja)
32 LB17 (via Wrecking Crew)
33 Eja (via I Hate You WW)
34 Bad Dream Team
35 Birdman
36 Beantown Cocksmiths (via KissinCousins)
37 Beantown Cocksmiths (via Rusted Rims)
38 Eja (via DD, TB)
39 MMSB (via Utah, MMSB, TB)
40 Eja (via GC)

None of this affects tomorrow's lottery, or much of anything given that Beantown, EJA and MMSB own all of the picks, that said, I snuck into the playoffs in the final week of the season, so:

13. Beantown Cocksmiths (via Bad Dream Team) .573
14. I Hate You WW .589

Also, I believe we’ve customarily treated the 2nd round differently than the 1st? Winning the lottery hasn't also awarded a team the 21st pick and winning the championship hasn't cost a team the 40th pick, etc. If I'm right, the back half of the second round also looks a little different:

33rd Bad Dream Team .573
34th EJA (via I Hate You WW .589)
35th Birdman .609
36th MMSB (via Utah Flash .632)
37th Beantown Cocksmiths (via KissinCousins .653)
38th  Beanton Cocksmiths (via Rusted Rims .693)
39th EJA (via Gainseville Celtics .693)
40th EJA (via Designated Drinkers .711)

Is that Assistant Commissioner work or what?

[Gainesville Celtic]

Bang up job, dwigt!

I'd messed it up on the Yahoo! board then tried to quickly fix as i was copy/pasting since stupid Yahoo! wouldn't let me sort by win%. Shoulda been more dilligent, i appreciate the oversight.

Yes that is correct... from the Constitution:

12(d): Second round picks will be slotted in the reverse order of regular season finish, regardless of lottery results or Finals appearance.

I've corrected the pre-lottery draft order, please let me know if anyone sees anything else screwy.

[Eja117]

Almost all my picks this year are available for picks next year. I'm open to discussion

Even a very high pick is a pick I'm open to moving for maybe picks next year and a decent young player. Decent = idk...Marcus Smart or Elfrid Payton or Mirotic or something like that...not so much a Ben McLemore.

[yall hate]

#24 is very available.  As are some youngins like Clint Capela, Jordan Adams, and, ehh, really, everyone on my roster. 

If you're looking to rebuild your team a bit, I'm looking for productive vets. 

[Eja117]

Guys I'm sorta looking to move, but if I can't have a good shot to stick with me


Gerald Green
Patrick Beverly
Hollis Thompson
Corey Joseph
possibly Mason Plumlee

2....I don't think it's realistic for me to get the value I'd want here, but I believe in freedom of thought and freedom of speech so if you want to mention it you can, but please don't waste time and effort
3...possibly a similar situation
19
20
22
34

[barefacedmonk]

The next couple of weeks are going to be relatively less busy. DDs are open for businesss!

[BDubs]

Can't wait for the lottery, c'mon Sacramento Kings.  I need that #1 pick

[mkogav]

Congrats Rick!!!

You to Eja.

Bummer for webkins though.

GC can correct me if I am wrong.

1 MMSB
2 Eja (via YH)
3 Eja (via HS)
4 Webskins

Another example of why teams should take advantage of me in trades. I gave eja #2, 19, james young, and Cory Joseph for Jeff Teague.  Ouch.

I feel slightly better now about being so horrid
