I thought today we could start a bit earlier and to keep the tradition up I have made the Action Thread :)))
Good luck to everyone and may you all have a horrible starting line up , haha.

With all the changes that TSN currently is pondering about, it's good to see that some things remain constant. E.g. you taking on the duty of opening the action thread! ;)
Still working on my initial roster, but judged by my draft success in previous years I can assure you it will be quite horrible indeed, LOL.

Same thing different year. Searched for a player at the bottom of my team page and I get this result:
There was a problem with the transaction.
The player you are trying to sell is not on your roster.
Found the usual way around this....click on the say Buy "G" and then click to the next page till your player comes up or a shorter way is to find another player from the same team and click on the team link and select the lower priced player that way versus clicking through all of the pages till it gets near your lower price ramge if that is a lower priced player you are looking for.
This blows!!

I can confirm that Diogu is going to outproduce his price, and I don't even know his price.
He's going to get minutes to start the season while J.O. and Murphy Heal. Another player to consider is Jeff Foster. I don't know his price, but he will get heavy minutes early.
Funny that even with a new, more committed staff person on board to run TSN's fantasy games and clean things up or right the ship or whatever was said, there still are the same perennial QC issues.

Aldridge's 2 blocks are very nice, I just can't believe he only has 3 rebounds. His potential is incredible if he can stay healthy.
But what about Roy? Was he still a "steal" in drafts when slipping into 6th and 7th rounds? What's the over and under on foot surgery, or more "rest?"

Portland looks to have a few guys worth plucking...Blake is playing
really well too. Roy just seems ridiculously overpriced.
Outlaw has shown flashes as well. I had thought about taking
Bonner for a while too, but didn't think he would get the
minutes...he is doing decent as well.
Wish Aldridge was more of a board guy.

Not the player page but the team page is horrible. I see where the frozen replaces the price. In the past the price became frozen and was represented by italicts and greyed or dimmed out.
Also I noticed there are not positions for the players on the team page. The team page should give you an overview of all of this information so you do not have to go to each individual players page. Each year I see more and more changes that are worse than the year before.

59,
last year you were able to see the rosters right after the freeze which I regularly enjoyed. However for baseball i think you only got to see the frozen roster after the freeze and didn't get to other teams trades until stats were updated. Its really just a display issue and doesn't effect much but i hope they can switch it back. I enjoyed calculating my rivals points before TSN did it for me. I wrote a message in the game issues thread seeing if they can switch it.
Can any1 confirm it was tis way for baseball. I was less into that game.

I see Kobe's doing his one-man show again, 13-32.

Ole, if you watched him play, his moves were very nice. Nice shooting touch, very athletic big man. He won't face Duncan every game and should turn in more rebounds and blocks.

if he gets those stats every day, i'll be very happy with 35.5 per game for a 6.5 million dollar center...and as PR said, against the spurs.
if there's such a thing as a moral victory, the blazers had one...they looked pretty resilient.
