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

[Lucky17]

And then IF I got the above draft order correct I believe the below managers have their fates aligned to the following NBA squads.

1. Make Me Some Bacon - Charlotte Bobcats
2. Toine's Boys - Washington Wizards
3. Boxer Rebellion - Cleveland Cavaliers
4. GomesFan - New Orleans Hornets
5. Rusted Rims - Sacramento Kings
6. Rubio & Friends - Brooklyn Nets
7. Y'all Hate - Golden State Warriors
8. Larry Bird 17 - Toronto Raptors
9. Birdman - Detroit Pistons
10. Designated Drinkers - New Orleans Hornets (via Minnesota and L.A.)
11. Rusted Rims - Portland Trailblazers
12. Rusted Rims - Milwaukee Bucks

Okay the hour is nigh, who's going to double check my lottery seeding? Anybody nervous? I'm going to say Rick, and the Bacon, have the most at stake, having moved first #1 pick Kyrie Irving and then #1 pick Blake Griffin for a shot at #1 pick Anthony Davis. Obviously neither Roy nor YH needs the help.

Personally I'm pulling for NOLA and the Brooklyn Nets (as I now own a third share of two season tickets) so by extension GomesFan and JGod. And I'd love to see the Warriors lose their pick to Utah by virtue of a lower seeded team leaping into the top 3 (long suffering Toronto or maybe Detroit?).

I've been working on the adjusted standings for the points league, so I haven't yet turned my attention to the H2H league.

I'll be p---ed if I've traded away what turned out to be the #1. Considering I'm the stand in for the Golden State Tankers, I'm hoping that karma is on my side. Warriors fans should feel pretty good about their chances of keeping their pick.

Hey i appreciate the show of implied support, Dub. Rubio could certainly use another Friend with a cap-i-tal F.

And hey, with D-Sterns behind the scenes maybe hoping that the Brooklyn Nets land the 1st overall pick isn’t too far fetched mmm?

bwaha. Bwahaha. BWAHAHAHAAAAA

We agree on the twelve lottery teams, later in the first round my seeding has some notable differences from your first pass. I suspect you may have seeded according to postseason consolation bracket results versus regular season record. But I'm not fully confident I got it right either.

So, I took a crack at the draft order. Lucky and GC should certainly check my work.

*1. Make Me Some Bacon (via Toine's Boys)
*2. Toine's Boys (via Make Me Some Bacon)
*3. Boxer Rebellion (via Juggernauts)
*4. GomesFan
*5. Rusted Rims
*6. Rubio & Friends
*7. Y'all Hate (via Lucky17)
*8. Larry Bird 17
*9. Birdman
*10. Designated Drinkers (via Blake)
*11. Rusted Rims (via Webskins)
*12. Rusted Rims (via Gainesville Celtics)
13. Juggernauts (via Utah Flash)
14. Kwhit10
15. Make Me Some Bacon (via Designated Drinkers)
16. Password is Taco
17. Toine's Boys (via Harden's Homeboys)
18. Make Me Some Bacon (via Boxer Rebellion)
**19. Make Me Some Bacon (via Ya'll Hate)
**20. Rusted Rims (via Draft Dodgers)

It looks like Lucky's list is reseeding all the playoff teams based on order of playoff finish.  I thought we did that just for the finalists, like on Wiggle's list.  Otherwise there'd be a ton of motivation to tank the consolation bracket.

You beat me to it. (TP.) I think guy was just in a hurry. We haven't ever seeded according to the consolation bracket that I can recall. Good luck with that 8.7% chance at the #1 by the way. Given how things worked out, I don't even hold any hard feelings that I had to cut Jarrett Jack in the Finals just be sure.

[fairweatherfan]

With Portland and Milwaukee too it's closer to 10%.  And you know Stern's gotta be itching to get his hands on some of that Wisconsin $$$.  Fingers crossed...

Sorry pal, but I included Portland and Milwaukee's 0.6% and 0.5% chance in my math. Still you've got a puncher's chance.

In the event of a tie, the better pick position went to the team with fewer wins.

So you did.  Didn't realize a tie meant the balls were split save one.  Faulty intelligence!  I really feel like that 2% would've gotten us over the hump, too  .

looks good to me. I just want to add that I have the right to switch the 1st round pick from Bacon with the DD's 1st if that one ends up being better. Basically I get the better of Bacon's or DD's 1st.

[Lucky17]

Got it, HP.

[hpantazo]

cool, thanks Lucky

Although as I understand it that's not a possible scenario. I think you may be confusing the pick the Designated Drinkers hold via Blake, currently #10, with the Designated Drinkers own pick #15 which is held by Make Me Some Bacon and falls outside the lottery.

Not exercised
Toine's Boys held the right to swap Make Me Some Bacon's 1st with the Designated Drinkers' 1st

[The Walker Wiggle]

18   Boxers   The Boxer Rebellion

We still disagree on the above. According to the spreadsheet the Bacon hold the rights to the Utah Flash's pick post-swap with the Boxer Rebellion, aka the third place pick.
