0 Subject: Jeepers Keepers Season 5 pre-season thread

Posted by: Tree - [3533298] Wed, Oct 10, 2007, 11:20

we really should be on this forum, and not the other.

everyone - i've set up the Yahoo league. apparently, it won't let me just invite everyone who played last year, so i need your emails.

please email me at the address above, and in the subject call it "Jeepers Log in info" and i will get the info to you immediately...

I've always chuckled at Tree's email addy. I wonder if "Father Jack Daniels", "The Dali Bacardi" and "Reverend Johnnie Walker" were already taken! hahahahahaha

Is anyone interested in trading a SG/SF type (i.e. Paul Pierce or Vince Carter) for a like-valued big man?

I tried to send Punk an email but it rejected. I have a trade offer for you.

Anyone else interested in a strong SG/SF (Carter/Pierce) for a big man should contact me at the above email addy.

GO - I'm all for adding more starters. At any position. We only have 10 managers. 10 starters each. That's 100 players we currently use, with an additional 60 decent to good NBA players on our benches.

But I think that adding 1 Guard, 1 Forward, and 1 Utility slots are good. That leaves us 3 bench players.

My certain keepers are -
Shawn Marion (Pho - SF,PF)
Andre Iguodala (Phi - SG,SF)
Luol Deng (Chi - SG,SF)
Allen Iverson (Den - PG,SG)

Bubble Guys:
Mike Miller (Mem - SG,SF)
Tony Parker (SA - PG)
Mike Bibby (Sac - PG)
Manu Ginobili (SA - SG)

Likely cuts include -
Eddy Curry (NY - C)
Darko Milicic (Mem - PF,C)
Shane Battier (Hou - SF)
Stephen Jackson (GS - SG,SF)
Delonte West (Sea - PG,SG)

I am also in the market for a big man, and if you find one of my "bubble guys" interesting, send me over a comparable big man. By 'comparable', I mean a player in the same part of various top-100 lists.

Alright, it was this league then... I guess after the contraction I think there was just too much talent sitting out there not being used.

At least I would propose an additional G and F spot. We don't really want to shorten the bench too much, remember there aren't any injury spots nowadays so you gotta have 5 spots there I'd say. And just switching a couple bench spots to starting doesn't really help the excess on the waiver wire.

Adding a G and F (and 2 rounds to the draft I guess) would give this layout

PG
SG
G
G
SF
PF
F
F
C
C
UT
UT

I think that looks pretty good.
Tree? want to look into this, maybe throw together a vote? There definitely was way too much talent on the waiver wire last year.

I see no reason to make our rosters bigger, and removing players from the FA list.

I want to activate more players from our bench. Having 6 guys, most deserving to start, was way too many.

I think having 3 bench players is fine. The will always be a semi-decent player on the FA wire if we need one.

Which means that these studs are available:
Jason Richardson
Rasheed Wallace

The guys on the second list can be had for a draft pick but ideally I'd like to do a 2-1 with any of the above for a better keeper.

i think we really need to name our final keepers by 12 noon eastern on Monday, then begin the draft by 9 am eastern on Tuesday.

i'll set up kafenatid. 6 hour clock. 7 am eastern to midnight eastern. i'll do this in the AM, so everyone be on the look out for log in info...

most of us have been in this league together for a long long time, so i believe we can punch out a quality draft rather quickly.

not for nothing, isn't this what we actually had last year? that's certainly how the league is already set up - when you set up a league now, yahoo lets you copy the settings for a previous season, and that's what i did.

although i'm realizing that it also has 5 bench spots, and in counting the rosters from last year, i think we only had 4.

anyway, it is set up above, with 12 starting positions, and 5 bench spots.

with 17 roster spots, i wouldn't mind us considering raising our keepers to 6 for next season. not sure if that's too many or not.

thoughts?

i don't know what the hell i was looking at, but Punk pointed out to me that i was on crack, which apparently, i am.

it seems a majority of the league wants to add a G and F position.

i don't know that we have time to vote. i am going to make the change, and if anyone has a serious issue, please post here.

ok. draft has been ordered and kafenatid paid for. this afternoon at my lunch, i'm going to start entering keepers, and if the payment processes before then, then i'll be able to get everything in.

once i give the go-ahead here, we can start the draft. the clock won't start until tomorrow, but don't let that stop you. :o)

How is the draft going to work? Tree, are you going to input all the keepers manually to kafenatid and then we start from there? If so is it a snake draft, thus making round 6 the first pick of the draft after keepers? If so the last pick in kafenatid would actually be the first pick of the 6th round? (Did any of that make sense?)

just thinking ahead.

re 52: I agree 100% for two reasons
a) Why would someone trade away the rights to draft Durant in a keeper league? - and for Harrington no less.
b) Even if you didn't like Durant, I think there were much better players who also weren't being kept (e.g. Camby), and GO didn't need to trade away his 1st for him.

He really only moved down 2 spots to get Harrington though, so not really giving up too much (if you don't like Durant anyway).

Different way to look at it I guess. But me going from 3rd round to the last round seems to be of greater worth than going from 1.01 to 1.03

hey - i wanted to bring this up to the league.

i am heading out to the west coast very early on Friday morning. i anticipate having no computer access from about 5 am east coast time for about 24 hours.

Saturday through wednesday i will have limited access.

i am, however, able to access the kafenatid site through my Treo, which i plan to do periodically. the clock is going off during the weekend, and i am tempted to turn it off M - W so i don't get totally screwed, but i realize that's something that the whole league would have to approve.

and if the league isn't comfortable, there will be ZERO hard feelings on my part.

however, i'd like someone to text me if i'm up - and maybe be prepared for a quick list of players who have gone already. i'm thinking Great One, since he might have my number anyway. and even if it doesn't, i know him outside of this place.

Wow, definitely did not expect to be on top of the league at this point going into the season. After entering the league as an expansion team a couple years and ending the season in the bottom half the last two years, I didn't see much reason why this season would be any different. I thought my keepers were significantly worse than many other teams so I went into the draft looking to take some high ceiling players and so far it has been working out. Let's keep this going!

Welcome back, Kevin Martin!!!

I am interested in trading either a point guard - such as Jose Calderon or Tony Parker - or a SG/SF - such as Corey Maggette or Hedo Turkoglu - for an equally-rated PF. It must be a PF. Good FT% a plus.

I'm not looking to give anyone away....I'm just looking for equal value that better fits my team as currently constructed. If your team is heavy at PF and could use a more balanced player, drop me a line.

I guess this statement hasn't proven to be true the last month... as since that time I have taken control and nobody made a single trade at the deadline in an attempt to catch me. Thats disappointing.

That 4 point lead is pretty huge too when you consider that I have the least games played in the league. Or did you notice that and thats why everyone else gave up?! :) C'mon people... I think you need internships in the Elimination Chamber on how to improve your team via the trade!

I started using games for the heck of it at the end and wound up with a perfect 10 in 5 categories which is amazing. Up until the weekend I still had the least number of games played for whatever reason.

Side note, two of Rashard Lewis, Monta Ellis or Camby has to get traded this offseason.
So either offer me a draft pick for one of them or offer me a 1st round talent and I'll give you all 3.
No quicker way to fix your depth issue than that!

I'd also like to point out that I believe Camby has been a key player on the 1st place team 3 seasons in a row.
So I think thats saying something for him and to all those that are so scared to acquire the guy.

this was another lost season to me. i feel like trading Dirk a couple seasons ago really did me in. blah.

that being said, i'm looking forward to next year.

this year, i feel like i played in more leagues than i should have (four, and with overlapping with baseball and football, just made it a bit much), so i'm dropping one or maybe two.

the one i've already dropped, oddly, is the one i just won the championship in. i was unhappy with some of the moves done in that league, such as Dwyane Wade and Pau Gasol both being dropped by their teams in mid-March, despite it being a keeper league.

then, the utter lack of response from any of the teams dropping those players when question, or, the commish not chiming in either, led me to quit. seems too much like a public league when that stuff goes on. :o)

but congrats to GO. just keep that trophy shiny for me...

Thanks everyone... I was kind of hanging in the middle for a long time... In fact, I was dead last as late as December if I remember correctly. I was probably being a bit choosy with when to start players. Also had a major problem with steals. I drafted Monta Ellis (see post 69) thinking he would be my steals guy and it really took him (and Amare) a while to get rolling. Once January came around they both hit their stride and started to dominate.

I'm pretty happy with a 1st and two 3rd's for my hoops teams this year. And coupled with last years baseball success (3 wins, 1 second in Yahoo) its probably been my best run ever.

Also, never to early to begin trade talk, so I am officially putting Dwight Howard on the block. I am looking to go in a different direction with my team. Howard will not be traded at a discount, but I am looking for a player of similar value but at another position (PG?) or perhaps even a different C. I could also package him with Kirilenko, Peja, Felton, Hinrich, Ricky Davis, Horford, or Thornton.

Well not during a live draft, cause the commish would be trying to swap and there isn't time for that if its live.

If you trade during the draft, I'd say its up to the individuals involved -- we trade 4th and 5ths during the draft, in the 4th I tell you who to pick, you do the opposite -- then we execute the trade post draft.

Tree and I did that during last years Elimination Chamber, worked nicely.

Howard is a monster. But his FT% has an almost Shaq-like effect. I've finished with points in FT of 2, 3, and 1.5 since I've been in the league, so I was beginning to think I would have little chance of winning unless I tanked FT% every year, which is a strategy I don't like to employ. However, now watch my rebounding and blocks points be as low as my FT% used to be.

Yeah, I am concerned about FT's but will give it a shot to be mid-pack in FT% with Calderon (90%), Martin (87%) and Pierce (83%) trying to help offset Howard. If I didn't make a deal like this I would be forced to keep one of my other C's just to have SOME semblance of REB/BLK in my keepers.

so we probably should set a keeper deadline date, and a draft day if we dont do it online...

personally, i don't want to set a keeper deadline until someone starts talking trade with me... ;o)

I guess we should 1. make sure everyone is back... and 2. have a mini-vote to see if we want to do a live online draft.

I like both formats, the slow or live.

as commish, i prefer the live draft because i don't have to input the data from the draft.

if some one is willing to help me, because my time is fairly insane right now (the reason i'm only doing two hooks leagues), then i'm game to draft elsewhere...

i'll have to look, but i know in football it let you pass the commish reigns to someone else, and i could do that if hoops allows, and someone else wants to enter the data...

Lets set up some deadlines... opening night is Tuesday 10/28. So working backwards say 2 weeks from that... Keepers due - Monday 10/13 at 11:59 PM? or Farn will pick them for you

Then draft starts on Kafenatid as soon as they are entered as well as any draft picks trades.

So between now and then we need the Kafenatid sign up to get everybody on there, and everyone to add multiple designated pickers and be all ready to roll come Tuesday 10/14. We also need to locate any draft pick trades and get them all in one post to make Farn's life easier. Farn, I'd say once we have everybody signed up and all the draft picks condensed we should start a new thread as well. Who is paying for Kafenatid? we all chipping in? how does that work?

how about keepers due this Friday 10/17, at 12 noon am eastern time, with the draft beginning monday morning at 9 am.

we can do kafenatid, but i really need someone's help in getting the players input into yahoo..i can make you commish for that, and then you hand the reins back to me.

Gonna need to input the keepers first into Kafenatid... then when thats all done into Yahoo (which is REALLY quick with the new input system).

Tree, you setting up Kafenatid? Well actually I guess Wiggs would need to if he's entering the names there.

Wiggs, I'll knock a few bucks off F101 balance for my contribution. I could also move money over from say Tree to your balance sheet if we all want to split the $10 up. Is anyone else in a league I commish that wants to throw 2-3 bucks towards the kafenatid draft?

I have requested a kafe draft. GO, if you can get people to donate to my 101 account (which i desperately need after my 1st 6 weeks) that would be great, if not then i will just cover the 10 dollars. Once I get the email back from the site I will register it and get us going. Does anyone have a league wide email they can send me so I can send back the info? if not I will look up all the addy and do it later.

Does everyone like Friday for keepers and start on Monday? Will that give us enough time? That gives us about a week for 12 rounds.

Tree, perhaps we should start a new thread without a specific season next to it since we are two seasons behind haha...

Just put all pending draft pick deals in the first thread.

Maybe it'll wake up the 3-4 people that haven't made a single move all season long. Activity here is almost as bad as G20.

For a team building towards next season and beyond, I'm going to need to move Bynum and I'm primarily looking big again.

Can anyone else go down for the season?

Amare on the block here too. Need another big guy cause I'm already thin losing Bynum.

Congrats to Da Bomb!
Hope I made you nervous there at the end... everything was just laid out there for me, unfortunately being so many games behind because of injuries,
I had to rotate some less than quality players at the end.
16 steals, 12 blocks and 40 rebounds and I would have won! :)
I think I healthy Amare, Bynum or Camby would have made the difference there, but thats the way it goes for everyone with injuries.
My injuries just seemed to be stuck on my big guys unfortunately.

Congrats again on a great season.

And we need to start up a new thread since we are like 3 seasons behind on this one.

sorry for my lax commissionership this season guys. between a new girlfriend, getting laid off, and a general malaise toward hoops this season, i feel like i slacked completely.

i am planning on continue this league, because i do think most enjoy it, and i'll be more active.

congrats to our champion!

Thanks guys. GO, you did make me sweat a bit towards the end when you started to try to max out your games and were climbing up in the standings. Fortunately, I was able to hold you off in a relatively comfortable manner.

This win is especially sweet for me as I worked hard to trade and draft a good core of keepers after I came in as an expansion team with a relatively poor set of keepers 3 years ago. However, what did make my job easier is that 4 teams combined to make 6 transactions all year, with 2 teams making none. That is pretty ridiculous. Anyways, I'm looking forward to defending my title next season!

Got the signup email. We should start a new thread too without a season # in it so it doesn't get outdated again like this one 3 seasons behind..

at this point everyone should ahve gotten the invite.

i'm currently commish, because i didnt want to see the league die as it's been around a long time.

but i definitely need people to help light a fire under my ass, since i'm in the midst of packing for a cross-country move.

well we probably need to get keepers set. That probably involves finding last year's rosters on Yahoo.

Then set a draft to start say Monday with a timer.

I am off all next week so I can facilitate a little if need be.

I've been alternating first or second for like 5 consecutive years, so I think this is my year to go back to first!
