The Kevin McHale Cup 2011-2012 (Auction league)

[Bill Duffy]

Goodmorning Gentlemen,

Below are the results for the qualifying round 1 for KMC 11-12.Sorry I cant get it any bigger.
Some interesting results. Paul, Aldridge, Horford, Griffin and Rondo will be won this round, others will depend on what bids are matched.

Following the rules as set out, this is how the table is interpreted. I hope it makes sense to you.
Results listed in the following format;
Player (Current manager), highest bid (highest bidder) - result if not matched by current manager.

Chris Paul (Supercrows), $14,600,000 (Billy) – Billy wins player.
Dwight Howard (Billy the kid) $11,460,002 (TheWhiteRhino) - TheWhiteRhino wins or player released to draft.
Dirk Nowitzki (D2C), $13,297,401 (TheWhiteRhino) – TheWhiteRhino wins or player released to draft.
LaMarcus Aldridge (Rocco), $10,750,000 (Bugsy) - Bugsy wins player.
Carmello Anthony (Raffrox), $10,800,000 (Billy) – Billy wins or player released to draft.
Al Horford (Bugsy), $11,000,001 (Badga) - Badga wins player.
Brook Lopez (Gridlock’d), $10,300,000 (Billy) – Billy wins or player released to draft.
Blake Griffin (JCS), $13,297,402 (TheWhiteRhino) – TheWhiteRhino wins player.
Serge Ibaka (Badga), $9,250,000 (Bugsy) - Bugsy wins or player released to draft.
Rajon Rondo (TheWhiteRhino), $12,000,001 (Rocco) - Rocco wins player.
Andrea Bargnani (Greentree), $7,200,000 (Billy) – Billy wins or player released to draft.
Andrew Bogut (Moo), $7,500,030 (Rocco) - Rocco wins or player released to draft.

Probably not a bad result but it will be interesting which Managers are prepared to match the Qualifying Offer.

What I need from you now;

Please check my working.

Current managers please post in thread whether you will match the bid listed.

Once this is done I will post final results and set the next draft round.

Regards,
Bill

 

[greentree]

Hi all,
I will match the offer for Bargs,, $7,200,000
Welcome to shanghai,,got ripped off 30secs after clearing customs

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

A couple of $Mill more than I was hoping to pay, but I will match the bid on Al Horford. Welcome back big fella.

 

[Billy the Kidd]

I'll match on DWIGHT but was hoping he'd be a little cheaper. Now the ultimate challenge is ahead winning a roto league with D12 and his FT%.

Will match Brook Lopez.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Grrrrrr missing out on D.Howard by 60k makes me very angry

Oh, and The WhiteRhino can have Dirk from me for that price.

 

[SuperCrows]

[Bugsy Mogues]

Are trades allowed during draft?

Yes, trades are allowed but any trade cannot take either team over budget. You must have enough $ to fill your roster with 15 players from the Auction. i.e. at least 500K remaining for every player yet to draft.

Grrrrrr missing out on D.Howard by 60k makes me very angry

If it makes you feel any better, Billy probably would have matched anyway.

First round panning out well. Good work guys.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Cool, well I'm leaning towards taking Rondo particularly if I can trade him for a cheaper PG. Felton also on table (maybe 2 for 1). PM me if interested.

 

[Moo]

I'll match Bogut

Yeah Deled's i would of matched on Dwight, i'm going to ride the D12 train all season long!!! And cringe at his FT% after every game!

Gridders i wasn't sure if you'd match but i think Brook is in for a massive season and i think his boards will get back up to 8 - 9 per game so i think it was a good idea to match.

 

[johncocksasuperstar]

I'm not gonna match Griff for that price, too hefty IMO.

 

[Badga]

Hurts me to say this but I'm not going to match Serge...

 

[raffrox]

I'm matching Melo.

 

[raffrox]

I'm matching Melo.

Btw Melo and/or Lebron are on the trade block.

Pm me if you've got a trade offer

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Lots of players being retained this year. Must be something to do with the uncertainty of the CBA.
Just Griffin switching teams so far to join Rose (nasty real-life tandem that would be!) and Dirk now a FA.
Just Rocco and WhiteRhino to confirm and I can get Bill to confirm results of round 1.

 

[TheWhiteRhino]

Just seeing if I can work a trade, should be able to give you guys a decision on Rondo shortly.

 

[Rocco_S]

I'll match Aldridge.

 

[raffrox]

Bugsey, I've got a question about the development contracts.

If we take your team as the example. You have 3 on development contracts.

Lee, David Development $2,845,440
Hibbert, Roy Development $1,068,000
Jennings, Brandon Development $828,006

So my take would be that you have these three at this amount for this year but unless you offer them a contract this season they are out of contract for next years draft. So in theory you'd be able to keep two next year with development contracts.

Is that correct?

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

I'll match Aldridge.

That means I win Ibaka (think I paid too much there!) Happy to have him though.

That's right. So for all the currently contracted players, including Team contracted players, a Manager can only contract no more than two of them for next seasons draft (Development). A difficult decision for sure.

Of course any player not contracted can be offered a QO next year. But we know how expensive that can be!

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

I will be excluded from the next round so here is my team;

PG: Lowry, Kyle
SG: Gordon, Eric
G: Jennings, Brandon

[TheWhiteRhino]

Sorry for hold up guys, I won't be matching Rondo.

 

[Bugsy Mogues]

Thanks guys. Only one player released to Free Agency (Nowitzki). That's a great result.
Cant believe I'm checking this during the break in the Rugby. Sad. Come on Australia!
I'll probably be able to get out the full results later tonight.
