I'm going to do everyone a favor and pass this year. I just don't have the time or interest to keep up anymore. I did a disservice to the group last year making 3 trades.

Thanks for a few good years guys. Best wishes.

I was torn on joining up again this year. But when an invitation showed up in my inbox, I didn't really have a choice.

With a draft day/time of Thu Oct 22 5:00pm PDT ... I might be able to make the last 15 minutes. But that's all. I'll need to start trading my auto-drafted players right off the bat!

Thusly ... Ersan Ilyasova, L.R. Mbah a Moute, and Marcin Gortat are all now available in trade. In return, I seek someone that I have heard of.

We'll probably have a couple spots open, so anyone on the boards with interest feel free to email me and I'll put you on the list.

Is there a single person that thinks post #2 is correct? That looks nothing like the TM Leaders for those seasons.

I wish I could figure out trades made. I know PD last year, and myself the year before with a record 40+ trades.

Obviously Mike and 2SJ have their priorities crooked (anyone get that reference?)

I just realized when the draft for this league is and I will not be able to draft at that time, so I have removed myself from the league. I really do not like doing a auto draft. If the time changes I would probably rejoin.

We're down to 7 teams. Are we still going to proceed?

Anyone else interested?

There are a few new managers popping up in the AA thread. Maybe a note to them might harvest enough for us.

League trading deadline is March 4th, less than a week away. Will Perm Dude pull off another full roster trade? Things have been a little quiet this year.

Let the trades begin !

Whew, it was a close one, but managed to equal MikeD's 4peat. So guess I have to hand the mantle off next year??

Yeah, 1 steal and 1 3 pointer would have tied for first... it was a tough last few weeks with Lebron shutting it down and Monta missing 7 games with the flu. Those categories would have probably been under control.

Finding that other half point would have been the challenge.

Very nice finish, fellas. GO with a blizzard of last-minute add/drops (The King on waivers!) but it wasn't quite enough.

Heck, I just realized Jamal Crawford sat out last night. That would have changed things. I was less focused on this league and more on my H2H money league which I won.

What the hell kind of thread is this? No finally tally on TMs? DISPICABLE!!! Everyone knows thats the only cat that counts here!

So, was I able to make a trade, without even being in the league?

Post the count! Post the count! Your adoring public demands it! And me too...

Same order of finish in 2008 and 2009, 2SJ/GO/Tosh.
Sadly, there weren't that many trades this year as the deadline creeped up early on us all. Nowhere near my record setting 36 TRADES of 2007.

skinneeJ did manage to sweep though.
Trades Made
skinneej = 8 trades
PermDude = 7 trades
GreatOne = 6 trades

Thanks to everyone for a fun season.

Since I was not able to make the draft (I auto-drafted), I decided to not make any trades all season, and see if I could survive on just the draft, and FA wire. I certainly consider finishing in third a victory!

See ya'll next year!

I think if Mike D has any guts, he'll return next year to try and break the championships tie.

Gauntlet laid out.

Yes, this was my first win with regard to TMs. I don't know that we have had a double winner before, so I am more proud of that!!

I had several DNPs the last few days as well, and was heavily managing my steals category since that was the only one I could lose to you GO. I did lose a half point the last day in FG%, but that was not going to make or break me. Amazing how one or two stats on the last day of the season can change the outcome. My first win 4 years ago was on the last day where I vaulted ahead of Ref and MikeD with +3.5 pts!

8 trades won this thing??!?!

that's like making the playoffs with a sub .500 record. my grandmother could make more trades than that.

I don't think the Elimination Chamber will be
returning next year... 8 trades won as Tree said,
so I think the spirit of it has died and we didn't
even really have the full amount of managers (and
no Mike D!).

So I think its time we said goodnight. I'm gonna
probably try a RIHC league.

And if anyone is looking for a fun active league, I run a "friends and family" Head to Head league (Slizz and CJ are in there)... 20 bucks, easy H2H style. Active traders. Email me. We wouldn't mind a couple more managers.

Hey guys... Jeepers Keepers is looking for a manager if you are looking for a good league as well. Check in that thread.

Also, still need one more guy for my friends and family head-to-head league (20 bucks). Email me.
