Welcome stoyko new GM New Jersey Celticsblog Draft 2010 Interest Thread

I'm relating to Eminem right now:

Is anybody out there?
It feels like I’m talkin to myself
No one seems to know my struggle
And everything I come from
Can anybody hear me?
It guess I keep talkin to myself
It feels like I’m going insane
Am I the one whose crazy?

 

Sorry.  I was just waiting to see how many posts in a row you could go.

4. We are also debating reducing rosters down to 12 or 13 due to lack of timely participation in the last 2 to three rounds. (I'd actually like everyone's thoughts on this)

I like this idea, but what about 2 year contracts for players drafted in rounds 10-15? This would increase the value of the picks, add attentiveness during those rounds and an interesting angle for next year.

Not a big fan of this idea.  There is always GM turnover.  I don't want to have to deal with new GMs inheriting players they have no interest in and have little chance to trade.

[wdleehi]

Does anyone have an idea of how to handle the later rounds of the draft?

I'm interested in what others feel because I agree with Fafnir, in that, something should be done.

Make your picks or lose your team next year?

Commish, please check your inbox.

I also sent you a message.

I hear that, so make there be no penalty in cutting players?

I just hate how picks in those rounds get tossed away in trades. Plus, it adds another mark to good GM'ing.

Commish, please check your inbox.

I was eating dinner and playing DQ9, sheesh.

The draft hasn't even started yet  .

Rounds 10 - 15 are two year cotnracts with the 2nd year being a team option! I love it.

Fafnir what do you think? Wdleehi?

I'm pretty demanding of the commish in this league.  

Nah, I saw you at the top of the thread at the time and I figured you hadn't seen the message after a refresh. It happens to me sometimes.

By the way, some are cringing (I'm sure) and some are happy but I'm back baby!

CB 10 is mine!

I'm not really interested in a keeper angle for just the low round picks. If we were to do a keeper league it doesn't make much sense to me to limit it to the 301th and higher taken players.

I think cutting the rosters should be enough for this go around.

I think it would add value, interest and skill to a more boring part of the game. Just don't look at it in a conventional keeper sense.

Fair enough, I like that too.
