Greetings! It's time to start preparations for another G20 Hoops season!! Time to put Great One back in his place - which is somewhere other than first!!
First order of business: Please confirm (or deny) that you will be back. I believe Frick has already stated his intention to move on and not play this year (via last year's thread). He can still change his mind, but unless we hear differently, we will need to find a replacement.
Here are last year's trades:
G20 12-13 Traded Draft Picks
11/26: dpr gets bmd's 1st. bmd gets dpr's 6th (Felton)
12/30: Species gets Pete's 3rd. Pete gets Species' 5th (Okafor)
01/08: CC gets GO's 1st. GO gets CC's 5th (Kirilenko)
02/02: Species gets Guru's 2nd. Guru gets Pete's 3rd (see 12/30) (Delfino/Thompson)
02/07: PacersRule gets Pete's 2nd. Pete gets PR's 6th (Robinson)
02/26: Tosh gets Meadwads 3rd. Meadwads get Tosh 6th (Jack)
Last year keepers were due October 17th and the draft started October 19th. The regular season starts around the 29th. I will look at dates more closely soon.
This is also the time to propose any rule changes.
Here are last year's standings:
Standings
1. GO Second City Saints 142
2. Team Nashty 138
3. Mighty Meatwads 137
4. beastie miked 134
5. Roto Guru 132
6. Skinnee J's 119
7. SAN FORDORS 112
8. Blurred Crusaders 104
9. RSF's House of Smoke n M... 102.5
10. youngroman's Luschen 100
11. Vampire Weekend 90
12. Hard To Be A KnicksFan 86
13. IND Frick's DTD 79
13. Naptown 'Nados 79
15. Layin' Bricks 72
16. Team Perm Dudes 65
16. Bismack Biyombo Fan Club 65
18. 3 Blind Mice 58
19. Team Slamdunkers123 45.5
20. coldwater coyotes 30

I agree it's kind of weird when a player you had queued up a couple picks earlier is still there two rounds later....makes you questions yourself. In your case they didn't fall that far since your picks were all so close together.
Personally I looked at all three of those guys...esp. the last two, but in the end just couldn't get past Kirilenko's back issues and not sure what it was with Bargnani but it just didn't feel right. I think sharing the ball with Carmelo had something to do with it.

I had AK47 loaded in the queue to go @ 2.12, but like PR, I just couldn't get past the back issue. Probably going to bite me in the ass, but "that's why we play the games."
That said, I hate my Kaman pick. Total 'recycled' pick, but figure I need 1 C eligible guy, right?

I also looked hard at Kirilenklo at 2.15 right before your pick, but just too much risk there for me. Went with more upside on a young guard. Would have taken Korver had he made it to that spot though.

GO...I was all set to roll the dice on Wallace. Why not take a third Boston forward I figured. I guess I'll roll the dice on Ginobili's injuries and minutes limits instead.

Considering Kirilenkp was my fourth draftee, I felt the upside was worth the risk. If he was only my 2nd draftee, its likely I would have felt forced to go with a safer option.

Ok, got your email PD and made Lou Williams pick. Pick 3.15 for 4.09 is an addendum to a trade we agreed on and will execute through ESPN site.
Trade is:
Perm Dude gets: David West, J.r Smith, 3.15
Skinneej gets: Ersan Ilyasova, JJ Hickson, 4.09

draft clock may need to be stopped manually? Should be on pause at the start of my pick until the a.m. but draftime shows it running.

You are correct. The clock did not stop, although the settings were correct. I re-set it, and that did not stop the clock either.
So I re-set it to a Midnight pause. That did not work either. So for now, I just turned off the clock. Guru can turn it back on in the morning.

The draft finally paused, but one hour later than advertised. The same thing happened in my RIHC draft. One hour delay.
Clock has been re-set to 4 hours. Now paused.

In AA, it looks like it autopicked a guy overnight for me two hours after my time started for the pick. Must be an odd internal clock thing--maybe with the reboot?

I don't know what happened but my pick was skipped after just 1 hour. I did not intend to get Koufos so no harm was done. looks like RSF has a DeLorean that allows him to travel into the future to pick Koufos at 8:34pm.

I'm sure KKB is on this, but we just had a rollback in AA, where two picks were wiped. So we'll need to be more alert than usual today as his software seems a little glitchy with the time.

Nene Hilario has been added to the Draftime database. You still can't draft him, since he is mine, and keepers cannot be edited once the draft has started.

Still 40 picks to go, and the #2 projected assist man available, according to ESPN, is Jason Kidd.
And Shaq & Iverson are in the top-25 in ownership%.

I'm excited for this year.....not that my team is the shizzle or anything, but I like it more than I have in a while. I went the total veteran direction in the draft and having 4 picks thru pick 2.16 gave me the chance to load up a bit. If only Westbrook was healthy....
Still going to go all out for a top 5 finish. Need Harris and Valanciunas to play like they did late in the year and Cousins to be the beast I know he is.

My draft is completed, and I'm not super interested in closely following along while players like Dwight Buycks are picked. So you guys need to stop relying on me to add the players to your team as an admin. Add your players please.
In related news ... Pistol Pete drafted Dwight Buycks, who is not in the ESPN database.

The draft is complete. Although Pete timed out, and got skipped for 06.19.
Tonight, I will re-set the draft, then re-enter all the players. Once completed, all players will be on waivers.

I seem to recall previous cases of the draft ending while a manager has an open slot. And in those cases, a final pick was not allowed, and the manager had to pick his final player via waivers.
Or maybe I'm mis-remembering. I'm deferring to other Commish's that have better recall.

From the G20 Hoops Treasurer:
Prize pool dues for 2013-14 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 still adequate for this year.
The other 18 returning managers are in the pool, and expected to contribute each year.
The following 6 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
Great One
Skinneej
KnicksFan
Species
Toral – owes only $12, as he has $3 on acct from baseball
Everyone else owes the full $15.
You may send your payment in one of two ways:
1. Mail a check for $15. Address will be provided on request.
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".
