#20 pick in next week's draft is available.
Most interested in adding a contributor (not scared of old players) or a future 1st.
Eja has mythanks eja, I'm currently driving with my son and won't be around for my first 2 picks (literally pulled over to type this), so please us the listI will us the list
Done. And also I amended Utah to the 21 and 15 picks. Right?
It is 6:50 and the pick is due. It is Jaylen Brown for Brahma Bulls
Brahma is here, which makes this all the more intriguingIt is 6:50 and the pick is due. It is Jaylen Brown for Brahma Bulls

I just said out loud "More wine woman" and she came and poured me wine and brought me chocolate covered hazelnuts. I thought for sure she'd yell at me and set an example for the boy. What year is this? Am I dreaming? Maybe this draft will go really well after all

Not for nothing Porzingis is 20 and is going to be a beast so it's not a horrible trade for you and I'm not just saying that because I have cousins. Porzingis hits 3's blocks more shots and shoots better than cousins I might actually be the one who regrets making this trade
Poor Gainesville. He just nabbed one of the best young players in the league, the Big Ten POY/NCAA POY and a reasonably high 2nd rounder in a supposedly stacked draft next year. And he gave up a head case all star for it on a team that has just drafted 3 players in a row at his position including two in the lottery. Poor Gainesville

A pox on both your houses. McCaw was a priority for me in this draft but I was really hoping he'd fly under the radar.
can we get verification of the official selection?It's on the first page.
Juggs selects some guy I swear I never heard of....Rade Zagorac
TPs to Eja for running a great draft yet again!
Denis is that a Ken Bone avatar?LOL its actually Stan Van Gundy, they have an uncanny resemblance.
Was Ulis selected twice?Just once. First time pick was overdue and bpa was selected.
Some of you may prefer to forget, but yours truly was one of the original twenty managers to participate in the Celticsblog ur-draft that begat this points league in 2007. Well, nobody tell Champind, but I'm back. To be honest - though I very much appreciated the invite - I wasn't inclined to accept. I'm in two leagues already, points has always been my least favorite fantasy format, and it isn't that attractive an offer to take on a stacked roster built on hard feelings.
Ultimately, I agreed because I'd like to get the league that served as my introduction to fantasy basketball, and many of my favorite Celticsblog personalities, back on track. Also, I don't get enough Indeed Proceed face time these days. Fair warning, I'm no longer the fantasy ringer I once was - I'm a lot less available, for one. The good news is that my problem personalty has grown on people to the point that I'm now brought in as a veteran leader/stabilizing influence.
To kick things off, I'd like to put my own stamp on the team and deal every player currently on the roster by opening day.

THE Walker Wiggle
Pretty sure Walker Wiggle can't trade any of the Leprechauns for two months, because every single one of those guys was a Top 50 player. LolReally, though you guys will want to double-check that. Only 70 players in the entire league averaged over 30fp last season and I'm pretty sure 12 of mine cleared that mark. If you're still adhering to that "no top 50 players traded in a rookie's first two months", that limits Wiggle to trading Porter, Pachulia, Russell and Exum:

The Walker Wiggle isn't a rookie. He's grandfathered. The man was doing fantasy basketball when some of you were playing Dungeons and Dragons hoping a girl would show up just so the room wouldn't smell so bad.

maybe the theory should be to drop the lowest rated player who was not selected in the first round of our fantasy draft.
But that would result in some 2nd rounders like Luwawu getting dropped.
Come to think of it, it also results in Georgiannis P getting dropped.Maybe Y! Rank multiplied by players age. The players with the highest number gets dropped. First round draft picks excluded, unless there is quite a significant difference.

I don't mind the concept of protecting all draft picks for two years, but that could backfire easily.
The bottom line is if you don't pick your keepers you forfeit the right to complain. I'm not gonna drop Anthony Davis, but if I did shame on you, not me.

I'm fine with working things out by committee here. If a GM isn't taking care of Yahoo or speaking up here by now, there should be no complaints. Everyone seems to be making fair suggestions and then eja can make all the final calls with input. Retired, out of the league, scrubs, late picks would be roughly the order but no guarantees. Maybe we just agree nobody will actually lose one of their top rated guys.
