The Kevin McHale Cup 2011-2012 (Auction league)

[Bugsy Mogues]

Hi Bugsy
Can I change Enes to T Thompson
And Dirk to Andrea B

Cheers Green

If I'm allowed I'll take the development contract off the now retired Brandon Roy, and give it to Lamar Odom ($2,163,789)

Thanks guys.

D2C, just remember, Odom will be retained at +25% that stated value ($2,704,736)

I will be setting the league to live from about 10 tonight. Managers have until then to alter their stated contract nominations.

Game on.

 

[SuperCrows]

Can we add/drop as soon as it's live? Rather have an empty roster space than Luke Ridnour

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

1 day waiver to pickup a FAs when the league starts (I think) - this is fairer on all managers who may not be on tonight. I'll set waiver priority in reverse finish order from last season.

Give me 20.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Gentlemen, start your engines!

You will notice that those players that have been signed to a contract are tagged with a 'K' for keeper. This tag will stay with a player regardless of trades but will lose the keeper tag if dropped to free-agency.
This should help in judging the value of trades through the season.

In the draft results tab there is a very rough indication of the value of these contracts. I will now wipe the contracted player list at the start of this thread and list contracts nominated and applicable for the 2012 Auction.

Good luck guys and have fun.

Great work Bugsy. Thanks for all efforts.

If anyone would like to do some reviews, some feedback would be great.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Just remember guys, only 20 moves allowed for the whole season. Ride those bench guys, they may surprise!
No max on trades though.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

And so it begins ...

a long road, will you bolt out and try and hold on or pace your games played and storm home?

 

[raffrox]

This is my best KMC teamI've had so I'm all set for...

hopefully a top 10 finish!

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Dominatiques' already thin Gaurd stocks are now empty, with Peirce, Conley and Gordon all injured. Thank god for Lowry and my big guys who are carrying the team.
At least in points leagues you can catchup if you have quality on the bench. Not sure I do ...

 

[Badga]

Don't worry Bugsy you will be right, we can't have a chump leading this league for much longer...

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I'll take a 9.5 point gain.

 

[Moo]

I'll take a 9.5 point gain.

I think I got a 8 point hit today too

 

[raffrox]

Well if I hadn't stuffed up and somehow had Lebron benched (WTF!!!) then I'd be top of the standings.

Aaaaarrrrrgghgh!

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Welcome back Eric and Mike.

Beware the sleeping giant that is Dominatique.

 

[Badga]

Just when I was happy with my team I lose Manu and Z BO for 2 months a piece

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Looking to trade for some blocks if anyone is keen.

 

[Rocco_S]

Whirlwind first 2 weeks...I've been first and last but not much in between.

 

[Moo]

Looking to trade for some blocks if anyone is keen.

Send me an offer

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Welcome back Eric and Mike.

... and goodbye again Eric.

I will make an early nomination for WW pickup of the year;
Spencer Hawes; avg/game 13pt 11.4rb 3.6ass 1stl 2.2blks

Idiot! Gotta stop posting ... jinx.
Hawes 7pts 3rbs 0ass today.
Maybe if I say how great Ibaka is this year he'll do the opposite and actually start producing in line with the $9m I spent on him?

Apparently Collison and Harden have great chemistry or some stuff. Weirdness how little Serge is playing.

 

[Moo]

Deandre Jordan on the block, crappy FT% but a blocking machine.

 

[Billy the Kidd]

Billy the Kidd has publicly blasted the performance of his men today after 5 of his best FT shooters have produced a 17 of 24 performance (.708). "It's just not good enough. With Dwight sitting today we need to focus and nothing less than 80% from the line will do."

As the Kidd has disappeared out of sight a glass door was heard smashing!!!

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

I've sent a few offers out there... still after some blocks.

Monroe, JRich, Blair and the two rookies, Brooks and Shumpert are on the table.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

One rule I'd recommend changing next season is the max games played allowance.

I think the max pick up rule sufficiently guards against teams streaming, so what other purpose does the allowance serve?

The league should, in my view, reward those teams that draft, keep and trade for the best complete list and not the best 8-10 players, who no doubt could be relied upon to fulfill the max games quota.

What does everyone else think?
