So...why didn't I take Durant last night and why, upon deciding not to move Murphy to Yao, didn't I buy Kobe? Anyone know? Bah.

46: that was a total stroke of luck (or total lack of planning), I saw Murphy to Duncan would be a highly popular move but just couldn't free up enough money to make it happen (Barnes over Scola? maybe not...)

Thinking of Foye > Brooks what do you guys think? I'm not particularly thrilled with Brooks and always have this fear on the back of my mind that Lowry will slowly creep up and make it a time share situation like back in Memphis with Conley.

I just realized I screwed up big. Since I was planning all along to have sold Murphy for Yao (and to a degree Diaw for Barnes), when I changed my mind on that I didn't think to move Deron for Kobe when I could have two days ago. Now that Barnes isn't an option, it would make sense to hold Diaw since has has two games to one over someone I'm keeping my eye on. Problem is...now I'm 0.07 short for doing Deron to Kobe. Holy crap this sucks. If I sacrificed Diaw, then it would work out to two trades for 2 Kobe games but minus one cheapie game (and it's Diaw vs. GSW and LAC, so those cheapie games could be monsters).
So basically, I can't buy Kobe now. I'm mortified.

Okay, I have a backup plan.
I could either do nothing, or use a trade that will either get me:
1 odom, 1 yao vs. 1 murphy
1 shaq, 1 yao vs. 1 murphy
(depending on what I decide to do in a couple days, it would come down to one or the other pretty much).
So basically, if you assume Odom, Shaq, and Murphy are equal, it's a trade for a Yao game and what seems to be a really big money swing given all players involved.
Any thoughts on if this is worth it? It's really hard to gauge right now. I'm going to go for a run and hopefully afterwards it'll be more clear, but any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore, I've completely botched this week and I can't blame the Spurs for it.

Haha, I could have, that's the infuriating part. And now I realized what I just posted is completely wrong because I invented a few million in my head and I can't do that.
My two real options are:
A) Do nothing
B) Use two trades for (2 Gasol and 1 Odom vs. 1 Murphy) or (2 Gasol and 1 Shaq vs. 1 Murphy) and the big price swing.
Gasol has been a beast but for some reason I've historically had trouble trusting him. I'm wondering if I should go for it.

Wow, nothing like finding two mistakes in your spreadsheet 25 minutes before the freeze after finally deciding what you're going to do.
A) 2 Kobe, 1 Murphy, 1 cheapie
B) 2 Gasol, 1 Odom, 1 Diaw
C) 1 Yao, 1 Odom, 1 Diaw and save a trade
The excitement! No clue on this one.

Here's a question: how bad is the Murphy hit going to be tonight? Is there going to be a significant one at all? On his big hit the other night, only 60 something people sold so it was a light trading night, making me think that it won't be so bad today. I wonder if Durant is going to lose or gain also.

Yep, that's what I figured initially and I talked myself out of it. I got paranoid. I realized I pretty much had a choice of a Shaq game, an Odom game, and a Murphy game and with two of the three playing tonight, I didn't want to sell Murphy for Durant only to see one of the other two get injured, leaving me stuck tomorrow. I'm an idiot.

Yeah, last night I looked at the standings for that and realized I'm really close to falling behind. I'd hate to split off a team though that focuses primarily on that though. I should have bought more teams finally (or at least an even number for my sanity), but I thought this year was the year this game would take a backseat to other things since I started a band and wasn't expecting to have much time playing shows out in the city. Lesson learned: I'll always give up something else first, like sleep.

I have to trade someone that I don't want to trade today. Do I sell the guy near the end of his schedule who has been producing out of his mind, or do I sell the guy with the better schedule who has been somewhat disappointing...
I had a plan all worked out and Don Nelson crushed those right as I was closing my spreadsheet. Meh.

Sorry, I guess I was trying to say, if you don't need to hold the under-producing guy all that long, I'd just sell him and keep the guy playing like a stud. You need to sell one of them today anyway, and you have a cache of trades, so the other guy can go when his schedule dries up.
Knowing you, you've probably come up with about 4 better options by now so the point is moot. :)

Arrrrrrrrrgh. I'm not even going to begin to try to planning until more news comes out today. I have a bad feeling I'm going to end up buying back into Shaq soon. I'm just stunned right now. To make things worse my Plan A and Plan B for tomorrow are both effectively destroyed thanks to Popovich and Nelson. I need Duncan to play, and in order to get Duncan, I need to initiate the "buying Duncan" plan today and he may not even play tomorrow. Fantastic. Two trades, -60 points.

Don't have enough money to get Yao, unless I downgrade Odom or Diaw today and move Durant. Diaw to Battier is an option I guess, but one I am not thrilled about whatsoever. Odom to Horford is an option too I guess, and I hate that also. There's nothing that indicates Durant is going to be out long, so Jeff Green may not be the best buy with the somewhat light schedule.
I honestly have no idea what to do, every possible plan makes me cringe and has me taking on a player I don't want. To make things more complicated we don't know if Duncan is playing tomorrow. I'm very close to just doing Durant to Shaq and accepting the fact that I needlessly threw away 60 points and two trades and just moving on (only to see Shaq go back to averaging 25).

I think I figured out what I'm doing. I don't want to trade Odom yet as any option this week is pretty much significantly worse than he is, and I don't want to trade Diaw down for a player I don't want / for a cheap spot I'm not going to need tomorrow after Howard comes off the books. Probably not worth bending over backwards to force a guy who's been struggling to average 40.
This move is going to have some risk to it so I'm tempted to split off my teams, but all the numbers show it as clearly being the best option (and look what that did for me yesterday...) so I'm not going to. Besides, I don't think you guys are ready for me to start complaining about three teams as opposed to one just yet. That party will begin soon.
In my twelve years of playing this game, I think last night may have been the single most devastating move from every standpoint possible. This is my new "Lebron to Duncan" and new "Lebron to Webber." You will be hearing about this for years, just warning you all ;)

Kind of wish I had moved Odom for Scola right now, but oh well. I didn't want to miss an Odom explosion and didn't want to see Landry start cutting into Scola's minutes once I had him.
So today's issue - I have to take two front court players, one of them being a center since I sold Shaq.
Duncan of course plays later than the other options. Even if he does play, do you guys think he's buyable at this point?
Yao is another option, but he really hasn't been living up to his price tag lately.

I think I've narrowed it down to two options. I pretty much just have to determine whether or not Yao is skippable.

Usually the GMD posts drop near the end of the year, but I think all of the injuries and inexplicable under-performing of almost everyone have even moreso killed a lot of the planning posts that typically are in here. It feels impossible to come up with different options right now when everyone's status is up in the air. I've been glued to the computer making a futile attempt to do so regardless, and each night it's gotten completely invalidated by a surprise DNP or a last minute DNP announcement or an injury mid game or news that a few players are questionable for their games a day or two later.

Last week my trades in mostly used on in and out those reandom DNP players. I still ready the board/standing everydays but think there is no point to plan ahead.
Hopefully Wade will play today and only leave Lee to deal with.

Since google introduced google docs, I've been doing all of my planning in there. This gives the added bonus of progressively seeing how everything goes wrong. Five days ago I was supposed to have 9 trades today as opposed to 4. I was also planning on using those 5 trades to gain points, as opposed to using each one to somehow lose them.
I'm second guessing my split second decision to sell Lee for Dwight right now. I saw Lee was out less than five minutes before gametime and figured at this point in the season I had to make that move. It seems as if Lee's probable for tomorrow so I should probably hold onto him on the team that I have him. The Hughes injury is probably the most devastating one, given his price and GF eligibility. My plans would have shattered the position switch / day record, now I have no idea what to do. There's just no way to plan when half of your roster has been questionable.

Ugh. I've been monitoring all the talk about the drag this season has become and I hit the same wall every year. I did it again this year and it occurred well before this latest rash of DNPs... of course, just as I'm convincing myself to get off my tuchis and get my head back in the game, I walk right into a DNP landmine. Several, actually, as did most of us...
My end game sail is pretty deflated because I had counted on making more of a push at this point and I don't see a ton of progress available now that my trade wad is mostly spent.
Glad that Lee played tonight but holding Rip Hamilton was perhaps of of the top three worst conscious decisions I've made all season.
Nice job to all getting us out of 4th place. Good luck to SU and hope that everyone gets as high in the standings as possible... myself included! :)

For some reason I don't feel the drag as the season's coming to an end. I'm actually kind of sad to see the season winding down and I'm checking scores and injury status just as enthusiastically as first day of the season. Under some rumblings of this being the last season of the ultimate game, I am playing this game everyday as if it were my last. (cliche!)
BTW, going Howard > Pau today

a little OT:
I'm in a divisional race that can't be any tighter. I'm currently leading the second place team by 87pts, but he has Odom and Deron going tonight where I have none, and we are both tradeless, so it's a virtual tie going into the final day. Differentiation is already high with only 4 common players right now. I've never been in any meaningful races this late in the season so it's been great fun (and agony) lately.
