we all slog through the humdrum of the season, for the joy of these frantic few days.

Just caught up with what I was sent.

ok, I still have a couple original players that must go: Iverson, Roy, Brad Miller. I am working the phones as we speak to get these guys moved...

I've got 3 players I drafted. Jason Terry and Marvin Williams, both of whom should be easy to move (send me offers).

I also have Boozer. But I traded him and got him back so I don't think that counts.

Man...when this is all said and done, we need to figure out who has been whored around the most. I was just looking at Pau...he's pretty sloppy right now...still time for him to move too.

I know this isn't all that important... but how about the battle up there at the top for first?! There have been some serious point swings the last week or so. +4 and -4's all over the place. Thats a lot for this late in the year. Must be bunched up pretty good.

I actually just rejected two trades because I really like my lineup and think I can actually win the other title in this league.

what's amazing is that if I remember right last year's winner made 13 trades. That would be just ahead of 2 teams this year.

RSF and GO cracking the mythical 30 trade barrier is reminiscent of the Sosa/McGuire steroid/HGH induced record breaking HR season.

I always knew GO and RSF were on the juice, I just couldn't prove it until now. RSF always talked about the "clear" and GO always said he used a cream, but didn't know what it was.

I'm gonna pump this batch through so everyone has their post trade deadline rosters to look at in the morning.
We can see what we are left with when all the dust settles and set lineups for the weekend etc.

thwarted!

when i realized reaching GO's lofty status would be difficult (although, i think i had a huge number of trades in those final days), my goal was to trade for every Maverick on an active roster. I have one final offer out there for Jason Kidd - my last elusive Maverick - but Sanforders insists he is still a Net to him, so i may not achieve this goal.

sad.

Funny that I managed to equal last year's winner in TMs, but finished dead last this year. Now I can only hope that I salvage my season by defending the other title!

For those lurking... those totals are COMPLETED TRADES.

Adding that up, and dividing by two - there were 135 completed trades in the Elimination Chamber this season!

Also, I don't see a "1st Place" Trophy on our league homepage. Thats odd. Should be up soon I guess.

So considering even with last year's flurry it only got people up to 13 to champion TM - having 19 completed BEFORE the final push was pretty incredible.

I'm a little disappointed cause I thought when I made my 100th move that confetti would fall from the sky, music would blare over the loudspeaker and strobe lights would kick in.

Or at least a congratulatory cake from the league! :)

Great season again everyone. This league continues to be the best one that i play in and is the most fun and competitive. Another crazy trading frenzy the last few weeks before the deadline made for some interesting deals! Some teams kept the frenzy going the whole season - great job GO and others.

I almost didn't play this season, but i'm glad i changed my mind. this league drew me back although i gave up some other leagues due to time. Even though i did have to autopick due to traveling, i spent alot of time setting my draft list, so except for the last minute Bibby news, i was very happy with the results. I have had good luck autopicking before since it tends to take the instant emotion out of the draft process and i don't change my strategy based on other's moves and positional runs.

Kudos to the several teams that made nice runs the last month. I had a nice 10 point lead at one point and it completely went away in a few short weeks following all the trades. Nice moves by several teams addressed issues immediately, and i had to be patient. I knew my moves were based on improving the % cats mostly, and those take time to see results. I started to pull away again the last several days, so it was just barely in time. last season, I snuck up on the last day and won it, so it was nice to at least feel a little more comfortable the last week! See you guys next year!!!

Nice to see the love return. And to think I wasn't even putting this league together until.........well......until GO did it for me!

I thought you might lose that points title which would have been a shame after being ahead wire to wire (or dang near close to it). But it was neat to see you pushed, anyway! Kudos on another great year bro. Now if you could ever win that vaunted double.......that would really be special.

GO, kudos again, you madman.

Congrats to you Mike for winning RIHC again. Sorry I couldn't keep the pressure on you there too. I felt I had too much going on to draft properly and keep up the usual high standard for that league as well. Now I wish I had not given it up since I will have to start from the bottom to make it through the minors and back to the top. See ya in 4 years!

League set up, emails sent. Anyone who won't be back, please let us know.

Randomly picked Wednesday night 10/22 at 8:30 for the draft. If anyone thinks they could have a conflict, let me know.

Also have Slizz on the waiting list to get in this league, he'd be a contender to win the trades category as a rookie! :)
