Re: Lucky17's Yahoo! FBB H2H League: 2012 Preseason: Constitution Up!

[The Walker Wiggle]

Looking at Wiggle's moves, does it turn out to be Ray Allen + Elliot Williams + #1 for Caron Butler and Jarret Jack?  Fairly even, but I'd prefer Ray and the #1.

Let's hope Marcus Morris swings the deal back in my favor then.

Ray Allen, Sam Young, Luke Babbitt, and Elliot Williams, the 21st pick (JaJuan Johnson) and my 2012 1st round pick for

Caron Butler, Jarrett Jack, the 14th pick (Alec Burks) and the 16th pick (Tobias Harris).

I also dealt the 25th pick which Kane used on the aforementioned Morris brother - missed pick BPA? - only to have the rookie sent back to me in the Ray Allen trade - not by design, so let's hope it's a happy accident.

But probably not great for me that I essentially hedged my bets, trading Ray for the younger, less valuable Tough Juice, Morris and the right to swap 1sts when it seemed the season was lost (a trade I would've killed Ainge for by the way). Only to flip that 1st for a one year starter in Jack, ten days before tip off.

One thing I've learnt thus far: The Walker Wiggle always has a plan.

All off-season I felt as if you followed up a move I loved with one I was skeptical of or vice versa. But definitely an improved roster.

Here's your roster prepared in the Yahoo style:

PG Kyrie Irving vs D.J. Augustin
PG Jeff Teague vs. Jeff Teague
SG Wesley Johnson vs James Harden
SG Marshon Brooks vs Delonte West
SF Michael Beasley vs Nick Young
SF Chase Budinger vs Anthony Morrow
PF Kevin Garnett vs Kris Humphries
PF Lamar Odom vs Jason Thompson
C Jermaine O'Neal vs Spencer Hawes
C Glen Davis vs Nenad Krstic
U Timofey Mozgov vs Marreese Speights

BN J.J. Barea, Reggie Evans , Jonny Flynn, Nicola Vucevic, Jeremy Tyler
versus
BN George Hill, C.J. Watson, Jonny Flynn, Kevin Seraphin, Dominique Jones

Clearly better at the 1, 4, and 5.

That said there's never been more competition 7-10. It strikes me that it's Roy as both the clear favorite and returning champ, a tough fight for second, another tough fight for the last two playoff spots, and then the widest gulf we've seen with a lot of very active managers focused on the future.

I may be holding it upside down, but I do alright:

07-08 4th, 08-09 1st, 09-10 3rd, 10-11 2nd

[barefacedmonk]

a tough fight for second

I think the top 4 (maybe even 5) slots will make for a tough fight.

Roy, GC, MK, CK, Blake all will be in the mix.

Nobody can ever count you out, TWW. I expect another strong display.

Well I'm not settling for sixth, sorry Kreskin. I'd say mark our match up on your calendar, but what are the odds Yahoo even gets an updated schedule up in ten days...

My "behind." Also you need to pencil in Rondo2287. I heckled him constantly last season for being the Grizzlies to Roy's Lakers. (I'm still waiting for Outlaw to justify his confidence.) But he had a great offseason. He'll finish in the top five.

Nah, we may not see eye to eye on some issues but my post was genuine and true to my feelings.

Thanks Dubs,and ya, maybe my optimism in outlaw was misplaced, but I realized I really couldnt win it with my core of guys and they were getting older.  I had to blow it up. 

But I am sorry that my moves put roy over the top against you.  That wasnt the intention as im sure you know.  We are all out here just trying to do whats best for our team.  Im just happy lucky didnt veto the trade for basketball reasons

[mkogav]

Now that the rosters are being uploaded, I would just like to say, TPs and many thanks to Lucky for dealing with this long crazy offseason!

I can't wait for the real games to start.

[Edgar]

yes and sorry for being late to the party

Youre all going to lose.
I am going to win.

[Gomesfan]

I can't figure out who was on my points or h2h leagues teams when I first inherited them, can anyone else?
But i do know that I have completely over hauled both teams in the last couple of years.
