Let's get this going. Check in here.
Tosh's earlier post:
So ... what's the status here?
I personally lost a bunch of enthusiasm for the NBA after the lockout last season. I honestly did not care if they played or not.
Once they agreed to play, Gurupie20 had a terrible time getting started. It was way too close to XMas, and the regular Commish's were unable to get things organized. It was only the Greatness of the Guru himself that we started on time. Thanks again for that Guru!
So here we go ...
1. Who are the Commissioners?
2. Is everyone returning?
3. What is the keeper deadline? (Currently set for Noon on Tuesday 10/16)
4. When does the draft start? (Currently set for Noon on Thursday 10/18)
5. When are we processing the lottery?
6. Are we drafting at drafttime again?
FYI - Five teams have announced their keepers at the website.

Had to go homer and pick Copeland. With Stoudemire out, I may actually get to use him!

Man Brooks looked good in limited minutes versus the Lakers last night. I was considering him with my last pick also, but then I also remembered it was Steve Nash defending him...and not only that, but Steve Nash with a bad wheel! Still he was in my queue for the fifth round, so he may well have not been there had you not snatched him up.

Frick I notice you only have one Pacer on your roster. Ref and I both got our homer picks in. My homer led the Pacers in plus/minus tonight. Also, Mahinmi seems better than I thought he would be. He reminds me of Antonio Davis in terms of his physique but seems a little more athletic.

Its funny that at this stage of the draft, you can still have your top three queued players picked off. Aminu, Amir and Camby all in order ha! Settled for Cole so maybe he can get some nice action if Chalmers is slow to recover.

Thanks, RSF. I always feel all my homer picks are great picks though. Isn't that a general rule about homer picks?
Any time you can get a player you feel will contribute at pick 216 you have to feel good about that, and I do think he will contribute this year.
If we are staying at 90 games per position, however, I might have to dump Harrington for a player that can contribute at least a rebound a game while he's out.

Two years ago, at the conclusion of the draft ... I (using Commish powers) reset the draft to keeper status, and manually re-entered all the players. That gave us correct rosters, players all on waivers, and a correct waiver order. I seem to remember it being a fairly painless process.
Last year was just a free-for-all because it was so close to XMas.
I think it is up to Species how he wants this to operate. Time to speak up man!! But no one should pick up any players until this is decided.
There has also been discussion about the GP limit. We should get that figured out. 90 games per position, or 720 games total??

It was always per position but I think ESPN wouldn't allow it when we first started. Personally, I don't really care.

You are correct Ref. It was always by position. ESPN did not have that option in our first year at that site, so we went to 720.
ESPN re-added thae 'by position' option last season, so we went back to the original rules.

At first I didn't like the non-position specific total of 720. BUT I came around on it -- especially in such a deep league it gave me more options with players and free agents as I wasn't tied to filling in extra games with some crappy backup C or something like that.
I think a good compromise of too many games (90 per is a lot and difficult to get to) and specific spots might be to pull the 720 down to an even 700 which chops a few games off per spot and is easy to remember.

Pretty sure last year we decided on totaling the games played and not separating per position.
I'm always in favor of lowering games played. You get completely screwed in this league if you have 1-2 guys go down for extended time. Plus, it's almost impossible to hold a young guy that isn't getting significant minutes unless you are already out of it.
I think we should vote for next year on it since changing it this year might hurt some teams strategies.
Should games played be lowered? If yes, I think we should give 2 options. Down to 86 or down to 82 per position.

Draft results have been entered. An extra thanks to managers that drafted players in the same part of the alphabet.
Players are all now on waivers. Species had entered the waiver order backwards (where the defending champ had the #1 pick), so I reversed them back.
Let's get this season rolling! Good luck to everyone.

It sucks to be the winner. But really, it would have been 20 picks since the last place team has had a pick. It only makes sense that they get the #1 claim.
I didn't realize that Mr. Insignificant was Vince Carter. How the mighty have fallen.

I'm currently without power, and some of my files (including those for G20 dues) are not currently available. But I know that there are still some people who have not yet anted up for this season.
I've copied the email below, since I know that some of you have trouble receiving email directly from ESPN.From the G20 Hoops Treasurer:
Prize pool dues for 2012-13 will again be $15. Your payment is due by the end of October. If you do not pay by then, I reserve the right to hound you privately and ridicule you publicly!
Two members have permanently opted out of the prize pool: Perm Dude and Pistol Pete. There is no trophy pool assessment this year, as the trophy fund is already adequate for this year.
The other 18 returning managers are in the pool, and expected to contribute each year.
The following 8 members already have sufficient funds on account – either from last year, or from G20 baseball - to pay the full amount, and therefore owe nothing this year:
Beastiemiked
Meatwads
Guru
Pacers Rule
Skinneej
Ref
Tosh
Species
The following two managers have $10 on account, and so only owe $5 for this season:
Coldwater Coyotes
KnicksFan
Everyone else owes the full $15.
You may send your payment in one of two ways:
1. Mail a check for $15 to this address:
[send me an email at davehall@rotoguru2.com for the address]
The check should be payable to Dave Hall.
2. Paypal
Send to davehall@rotoguru2.com. Designate your payment as Personal-Payment owed. If you include a note, just say G20 payment.
I have received checks from Vampire Weekend and Coldwater.
I have received paypal payments from GO and youngroman.
I think that leaves six people still to pay.

Should someone make a new thread for the regular season? If nobody has any objections, I will volunteer.
On a side note, it looks like beastie miked is on pace to go back-to-back. If anyone has a guard that has more than 1.5 3PM per game and shoots above 80% from the line (with enough attempts per game to have an impact), I'd be interested in discussing a trade. I have a bunch of forwards and centers.
