OT: High Stakes Fantasy Basketball -- Any Interest?

[odawg09090]

I just checked the league and as of now, we only have 10 teams. Is that going to be it, or can we round up a couple more basketball fans?

Also, it looks like a few things are still undecided so we should try and get it figured out before the draft.

- I'd still prefer to not have turnovers, but I'm fine if we keep it.

- Kramer's payout scale is fine with me.

- I'd definitely rather have it roto.

- yahoo's great of course.

- and I'm still for having max games, like Ruffneck says, 82 for each position.

How do the rest of you guys feel?

I don't like max games, that just penalizes the guys who are active with their team. I also don't like turnovers as a category simply because all star players turn the ball over a lot because they always have the ball in their hands. Look at who was #1 in turnovers last year, Steve Nash. It's just a byeproduct of having the ball in your hands all the time. Just like if you throw a ton of passes no matter how good you are you're going to throw a lot of picks, ie. Brett Favre.

I agree the TO cat. should get canned.

I think doing the two Center thing is a waste of a open position taht could really allow ups to mix it up, instead of handcuffing us with a extra stiff center who only sees garbage time.

I really can't stress enough how much capping the games to a max is the most fair.

You can still be plenty active with a cap, it just keeps you from going bananas and just playing max games every night and acquiring numbers by volume theory. Having to actually plan your season like a actual coach is way more skillful.

If we are just going to flip for it by having no cap, lets just all go do a 10 way flip on stars and not get equivalent of fantasy basketball blue balls.

I don't mind the two centers, but I def agree with your other 2 points, esp about the max 82 games cap. Its really dumb not to have one to be honest, and like he said it really turns into a shitshow. I played in one without a cap 2 years ago and 1 with a cap last year and the cap was 1000000x better.

I do also agree to take away the TO catagory, altho I think the 82 game max per position is much more important.

I'm interested in joining and I think 82 game max, only 1 center (and adding a utility, and keeping turnovers are good. Actually I'd drop out if it wasn't 82 game max.

Still need money from RUFFNECK, DAT MOOSE, and whoevers team is SUCKS FOR YOU NERD!!

Last question: We filled up our quota 12 players already... is everyone OK to open up the league to 14 players if we can get 2 more? I figured the more, the better.

[odawg09090]

The more the merrier.

I don't feel too strongly one way or the other about the 1 center thing. The past leagues I've been in had 2 centers but I also think it could be interesting/fun to only be required to have 1, so I'm fine either way.

hello guys..i prefer 2 centers as it makes it more interesting and deeper... However i dont care that much so whateva...

another thing is i would definitely increase the bench spots as i think 3 is too small.. id vote for 5 spots.. I'd rather have deeper rosters especially if we are starting 2 centers then 3 bench spots is really not enough..

[pokeriseasy]

I kind've just realized I've always played with max games, but it wasn't max games per position, it was max games per week considering it was HU. I guess it does make sense, although TOs and FG% will kill the guys who would pick up new players everyday.

I think only 1 center is necessary. Utility spots are more important.
