VI Prizes
A fine plaque will be engraved and shipped to the winner courtesy of the previous year's winner. The trophy will be yours to proudly display with your other cherished mementos for 1 year. It will be the winner’s responsibility to engrave it and ship it to the winner. There will be an added nominal fee to help cover expenses related to the engraving and shipping of the plaque.
A separate cash prize pool has also been established. It is strictly voluntary. Only those who participate will be eligible for this prize. $15 USD entry must be paid by the season opener. The exact method of prize distribution will vary from year to year depending on participation. We focus payouts so it will NOT be winner take all. Six owners will have a chance to “win something.” Prize pool funds are due by Opening Night.
2006-07 Payout has 17 managers paid:
1st $100
2nd $60
3rd $35
4th $25
5th $20
6th $15
Total Payouts is 17 X $15 = $255
Ineligible for prize pool:
PD, Pistol Pete, Mike D
If any of the non-participants qualify, the prizes will be reallocated by the commissioners. Managers will move up payout position(s) and any remaining funds will go into the trophy fund.
2006-07 Payout:
1st $100 bmd
2nd $60 Species
3rd $35 bj21
4th $25 Ref
5th $20 KF
6th $15 trophy fund

I am a kind of proud I got from a distant dead last when Gasol returned... all the way up into 15th and within spitting distance of a few more spots.
A full season with some of these guys will be fun!
Hopefully Kidd leaves sooner than later and its the Marcus Williams show... and I can steal one fo the top 2 draft picks. Now THAT would be nice :)

My team overachieved but I had a chance tow in or at least finish 2nd if my players had maintained down the stretch and not gotten hurt. I also messed up by benching nice players because I was so far over GPs and ended up falling short in games--esp Guard. Injuries were problematic but I was able to compensate by living on the wire--esp the NOK players. That was huge and jetted me up. Tyson Chandler was a beast for me after a slow start.
Inconsistencies hurt me too, esp from JWill and Granger. All my trades backfired. I gave up on assists and 3s way too early. Took too many chances on scrubs that wasted games too. But even though my 61 transactions were moe than needed, I don't know how some of you guys have single digit moves. I just can't function like that. I still firmly believe we need to up our GP limits so the the teams who have an insane top 6 or 7 players need to use their whole teams instead of their core players.
Maybe I'll propose 90 as that would have gotten it done two years ago whereas 92 was defeated by just a vote or two. At least four of those people said they would vhae voted for 90 but couldn't go 92. I was very unhappy with NBA's site. Will definitely look again for another site and could always go back to Yahoo if need be. Guess NBA would have to REALLY improve and be ready well before the season before I'd even consider going back. I just can't see that happening.
This is my least favorite of our trilogy of deep Gurupie games so to finish "in the money" was definitely a huge treat for me. I know I overachieved, but that's fine. That's what we all hope to do if you don't have the players. After winning g24 twice and G20 baseball three times, this finish is like a win for me. Maybe I've got my core players now to make a run--but of course I did trade my first pick away but do have two or three guys I can't keep that should be kept so maybe I can deal them away.
BMD is on a rampage. He takes G20 baseball for the first time and after a runner-up finish last year in this league, comes from way down to take the title. He also was runner-up two years ago in G24, so he is on a mission. Grats again!
This league has had a different winner each year so it is definitely competitive with some parity.

Congrats beastiemiked. Very impressive two-fer wins in a very tough league.
Re: Me - WHOA! Where the hell did THAT come from?!?!? Sweet! I didn't think my team had the ability to makeup that many points!! I am shocked but extremely pleased to post a 2nd place finish. Thank you J-Rich, Bibby, Hughes and Mo Will for your barrage of 3's on the last night. Hell I nearly passed bj21 last night in that cat, too.
Thanks to everyone for a great year.

Congrats beastiemiked. Way to finish strong!
blackjackis21 - Maybe you should have traded me Wade after all! ;-)
And now I am going to complain. I played this game hard all the way to the end, and was able to finsh tied for 12th. Twarpy had 110 fewer GP than me. On Nov. 30, he told the league his activity would increase ... yet he made only one (1) add/drop since then, and only six (6) lineup changes since then.
There were a few other teams with low game totals, but at least they were active in their add/drops and lineup changes.
It is an injustice if Twarpy is allowed to get an earlier draft pick than me. This needs to get discussed by the league and resolved.

Thx all. I was lucky enough for my full team to be healthy the last month and a half to make the run. Species, bj, Mike D, and Ref all could've just as easily been up at the top.
I've got 7 keepers right now. Looking to trade one of TJ Ford, Rajon Rondo, or Antawn Jamison. Doubt I'll make any moves right away but thought I'd get the word out.

I have grabbed all of the Stadings (including all cats), Transaction info, Games used info, activity info, etc. and put it in a .xls file and placed it on our anglefire G20/24 web site.
I am not even sure where we stand with our plaque. Last I heard rsf finally was able to get one made but he said it was junk and was going to have them redo it but that's been awhile ago. RSF was supposed to get funds from Twarpy to make it but Twarpy said that hadn't happened yet. So we need to know where we stand. Twarpy has accepted responsibility on his end and is willing to send the money for the plaque via paypal to whomever ultimately makes it. Not sure if that needs to be RSF, bmd or someone else at this point.

Ref - do we have a draft lottery? (I assume so).
I was wondering if it we've ever considered using the "real" lottery for our league. Like we all get associated with a team based on final standings... i.e. Goat is Memphis Grizzlies. Then we could all watch the real draft lottery (Tuesday 8:30 PM on ESPN!)

Yes.
No, we use the same formula as the NBA so we will wait to see who our managers are before we run those. We will have some turnover apparently.

Well it would still be the "team" not the "coach", right? Determining draft order shouldn't really matter.

I guess I'll propose it for next season when the time comes. I'm not really understanding why it would be complicated.
It's not like in football where we have the "real" team names...
i.e. the Jets could have the Giants draft pick. I could see how that would be confusing. Plus they don't have a lottery anyway.
"Goatlockers Kids" team (or whoever takes it over) gets Memphis' ping-pong balls and so on. I guess you are saying you'd like to know which manager has which team first. But in a normal year we shouldn't have too much turnover anyway, right? And they are pretty much getting the same pick regardless (outside of the chance that the top 3 get shuffled). And its not like the new guy can pick his team anyway.
And then we'd have our lottery on ESPN? that would be awesome!
Plus less work of setting up the simulator and all that junk.
for example...
G24 Team = NBA Team
Goatlocker = Memphis
CCRider = Boston
Frick = Milwaukee
Blurred Crusaders = Phoenix via Atlanta
Perm Dude = Seattle
Great One = Portland
Twarpy = Minnesota
Slackjawed = Charlotte
Tosh = Chicago via NY
PeterN = Sacramento
SkinneeJ = Atlanta via Indiana
Guru = Philly
Coldwater = New Orleans
RSF = LA Clippers

I gotta say, I'm pulling for Boston here. They missed out on Duncan all those years back... if they miss out on #1 or #2, you can't help but feel bad for them.
Yeah, any of those guys (or that 7-foot Asian guy who's name escapes me) would be ridiculous on Phoenix.

Tosh and I have been working on this for awhile. Tosh has worked hard on this and should get major props. I copied all the info from last year and made a SS. I asked Tosh to go over everything and asked him to head up re-invites. I haven't done much on the site yet but Tosh has some good news for us. All of that will be talked about in a new thread.
I know for sure that 2 or 3 managers will not be returning. There is a proposal for contraction from 20 to 18 teams as well. When we send out re-invites we will be able to know for sure how many managers we have and how many we need to recruit (once we figure out if that proposal passes). I posted in the RIFC QL thread to email me for anyone interested in joining. So we definitely would like nominations for replacements.
Re-invites should go out soon. If you haven't already gotten an email from Tosh asking you about last year, then it's safe to assume you will be getting asked back. I will start a new thread when re-invites are going out.

Might as well start my ad campaign:
I have 8 guys who are legitimate keepers:
Mike Bibby
Mo Williams
Jason Richardson
Larry Hughes
Mike Miller
Chris Wilcox
Elton Brand
Marcus Camby
I am definitely too guard-heavy and wouldn't mind packaging a couple solid guards for a big man. You have Bibby and Miller who are going into "Phoenix-style" uptempo offenses who could garner some interest.
Anyone short legit keeps should drop me a line!

I sent Tosh a complete list since the one Ref had was missing people. I'll dig it up and post the final rosters later.
And after debating whether I was coming back or not, one look at my keepers reminded me I'll take the league by 20 points, so it was really no choice at all.

I know that most of us had some complaints about the nba.com format last season. They have done a lot of work on the issues, and seem to have a solid product. I think we should consider staying with them, rather than switching back to yahoo.com.
