The lead for dumbasses of the year is a three way tie right now:
- WG for not entering keepers in ESPN
- PD for not entering keepers in ESPN
- coldwater for not inputting keepers in the Keeper thread
I have fixed all of the above and "finalized" our offline draft. All players are now on waivers.
The draft will be held on Draftime. I hope to have time to enter keepers Saturday night and turn on the draft. The clock does not start until Monday.
As with baseball, we will pick up our players off of the Free agent list in ESPN. Keep in mind that Draftime is 'official' -- a player may show up available in ESPN but may have been drafted.
I ain't your effing mom......I am going to be absolutely swamped next week after missing 2 weeks of work for jury duty. I may not pick up other people's players on principle. Just pick them up yourself. Please. Pretty please.

This could be an in-season kind of thing but I'm looking to move Blake Griffin for a guard. So he's for sale + 2.02, 2.07
I know people always looking for big guys in this league. Blake at 27 years old is firmly in his prime for the next few years.

Also note you can GREATLY speed up making a list of names (and then just move them around in order) by using the importing feature in the pre-rank.
This is a new feature of a pre-populated list determined from various ADP rankings averaged together... or something like that. Doesn't matter. It just puts the names in there for you which is something I suggested recently and Draftime built this year. Enjoy. Thanks Fred!

GO - Thanks for the tip about the importing feature. It's pretty cool that it only populates your queue with the players left in the draft still. Definitely a game changer in the queue setting world.

Ben Simmons pick made...
Excitement of the pick a bit dampened by the injury... Waiting half a season, or even a whole season at worst is not the end of the world in the big picture. I don't think I've had a 1st round fantasy caliber guy in this league. Even in the year I won it was a bunch of mid-level guys. Think I finally got my centerpiece. And man is he fun to watch if you haven't seen him yet. Sucks to have to wait, but its all part of The Process.

I opened the draft. bmd can sue me if he wants......but I am going to get busy at work so I did it while I had a second. If bmd wants a clock reset or something, I will give it to him.
PLEASE PICK UP YOUR PLAYERS IN ESPN! Guru is traveling. I am busy and am not your Mom! Seriously. I am going to make up my own demerit system for managers who do not show me and this league the basic courtesy of picking up your players. I may dock you draft pick slots. I am not joking!!
GO - that means you!
We all have )(#&$_)(#&)^T phones. Pick up your players.

Either of my 2.02 or 2.07 for sale for a 1st next year. If you are a contender, not much of price to pay assuming you'll be like the 1.18 pick or worse next year.

Favorite picks from Round 1:
1.04 - pd - Nurkic, Jusuf - Destroying it in preseason. Malone knows what to do with bigs.
1.05 - guru - Adams, Steven - Interesting to see his growth this year.
1.20 - bmd - Chriss, Marquese - preseason numbers look sweet, but soooo young.

121: totally agree on the Chriss pick.
Like most of the 1st rounders these days, with them mostly being so young, it is an investment that is hard to hold in your portfolio.
Kind of like the idiot who drafted James Harden....when he was to be relegated to the 6th man in OKC, that idiot let him go, only for him to flourish as the sixth man and get traded to Houston.....and look at him now. Very painful.

Hate to pick up another Laker. Or another center. But Mozgov could easily double his numbers from last year as the locked-in starter and lots of PT.

Kornheiser is a Canada fan, I wasn't rooting for the Blue Jays.
I am driving so that I have my car while there for three weeks (leaving Sunday from Colorado). Had I planned to stay for a lesser time I would fly. I am retired Air Force, no flying phobias.
Planning to go to Games 1, 6 & 7 while there, should they all be necessary. Just sold my tickets to the Cavs home opener when they will raise the banner. Oddly the two venues are adjacent and Game 1 of the World Series is the same time as the banner raising.
Its gonna be a mad party in downtown Cleveland Tuesday Night, I should have gotten a hotel room, none left now but will stay that night at a friends house near the Rapid Transit (Cleveland's light rail system). I can use it even if drunk, but of course that might lead to a free night's stay, courtesy the Cleveland Police.

We have 10 picks to go. Great job everyone.
A reminder of what happens from here. At some point over the weekend if/when I have time (or if Tosh jumps in), we will re-enter the entire draft so that all free agents go on waivers. As such, please be aware that, upon the completion of the draft, no FA moves are allowed until the draft is re-entered and all players have been placed on waivers. Once that happens, then the league functions as normal.
Let me know if you have any questions. Good luck!!

Meatwads, you also have to decide if you are in or out of the pool for baseball. Send an extra $15 if you are in for that sport too.
