NBA Keeper League: Year 5

[JanShan12]

I just renewed our keeper league on Yahoo. An email has been sent to all of the managers from last season.

I set the draft for October 23 at 8pm (central). If I need to make changes to that, please let me know asap!

We will need to have a list of our keepers in by Monday, October 19th.

[Middle Man]

I'm gonna go with:

Calderon - PG
Kidd - PG
Mike Miller - SG
Camby - PF
Zach Randolph - PF
Dwight Howard - C

unless i change my mind later
edit: these are all definites except Miller. I have a feeling he may not get the starting spot for the Wizards, in which case i'll switch.

[JanShan12]

My keepers are:

O.J. Mayo
Vince Carter
Ray Allen
Brook Lopez
Mo Williams
David West

Only thing that would change this is an injury.

[CanadaBravesFan]

Still working on my team. BTW - if anyone wants to make a pre keeper deal, I have these guys available.

Beasley
Barbosa
Oden
Perkins

Looking for an upgrade or a 2-1 trade

[JanShan12]

JR sent me an email this morning and he will be unable to keep his team. If anyone who does not already have a team in this league would like to claim it, they are more than welcome. If not, I will give it to my brother.

[JanShan12]

Here is the draft order:

Budges Bulldogs
NEW TEAM (from JR)
Hard Water Hero
ATL2123
Astronauts Quattro
KB 34
MIddle Schoolers
Pistonscat
NEW TEAM (from OF&S)
Reds Sled IV
Janshan12
Spawn of Bugnuts

[JanShan12]

We now have 2 teams who will not be returning. JR and OF&S have sent me emails saying they will not be able to claim their teams this year. I need at least one person to claim a team and my brother will take the other if no one else wants it. Any takers???

[Dreamscape]

I'll go for it if someone gives me LeBron.

/seriously, I'll do it.

[HomerTheBrave]

will your brother get too upset if i jump in?

[JanShan12]

Thanks for your interest, Dream & Homer! Andy G. sent me a PM before I got your responses and my brother has already signed up, but thanks again. I am yet to hear from 2 other teams, so there still may be room. I'll post on here as soon as I hear anything.

[JanShan12]

I have offered 2 of the team's to HomerTheBrave and to Dream. If those 2 sign up, I will only be missing KB. I have sent him info on his PM here, but if anyone talks to him, please give him a reminder. Hopefully everyone will be signed up by next week so we can start getting our keepers in the system.

[Middle Man]

Ha! I'm gonna love kicking Dream's butt - just like in fantasy baseball. :rolleyes:

[KB 34]

Jan, I got your message. I'm going to leave the league as I simply don't have enough time to put forth a competitive effort. Best of luck to everyone.

[JanShan12]

Ok, we are having a hard time getting everyone signed up. We are still waiting for HomerTheBrave, Andy G., and Dreamscape. Please encourage these 3 to do so if you are in touch with them. I have sent all 3 PM's.

Our new draft order with the new teams is as followed:

Stupid Stars (Homer the Brave... formerly Budges Bulldogs)
Balla Blockez (my brother, Shannon... formerly JR)
Hard Water hero
ATL 2123
Astronauts Quintto
J. Smoove (Andy G... formerly KB 34)
Middle Schoolers
Pistonscat
Strokin Threes (Dreamscape... formerly OF&S)
Reds Sled V
JanShan12
Spawn of Bugnuts

Those in bold are ones I have received all 6 keepers from.

[Dreamscape]

Ha! I'm gonna love kicking Dream's butt - just like in fantasy baseball. :rolleyes:
Men Without Bats will be back.

Men Without Balls will dominate.

...I should probably rethink that team name.

LOL Should I consider your team a group of men or women? ;)

[JanShan12]

Dream - Did you get the roster I sent you? Your 6 keepers are due a week from Monday. Let me know if you have trouble signing up for the league.

[FloBrave01]

My Keepers Pending Approval:

Chris Paul, Kobe Bryant, Chris Bosh, Caron Butler, Derrick Rose, Tyrus Thomas

[JanShan12]

Sounds good. Thanks for the updates. We're all in now, so I'll add keepers asap.

[FloBrave01]

I posted on the league page as well that I was under the impression that the draft was Monday night. The F&S crew (Phil, I, and Red) all have a University event Friday night...unless the stupid flu/strep/mono/black plague get one of us.

I know that Phil and I both pre-ranked from yesterday's bull session at lunch. Any chance we could move this draft to Sat-Sun-Mon? If not, no problem I guess given the pre-ranks.

[JanShan12]

I also posted on the league page, but the only other date that would work for me is Saturday. I'm ok with a 7pm (8 est) draft on Saturday, but only if others chime in. If not, we will leave it alone.

Let me know if anyone can or cannot make that change.

[Middle Man]

can't make sat at 8 est. any time after 10 est on sat would be ok.

[JanShan12]

DRAFT CHANGED!!!

Draft is now Saturday evening at 9pm (central), 10pm (eastern).

Hopefully more will be able to attend the draft with the change. Thanks to everyone for being so flexible.
