[comahan]

I suppose I'm in the mood to lay waste to all of you.

[SP]

Think WMD said he was in in the RDT

[Zach]

Think WMD said he was in in the RDT

He did, and is now added. Looking to start this tonight. Hopefully everyone gives this thread a way to contact them via twitter, text, snap, etc. so we dont have long breaks in drafting.

[Paul]

[Paul]

Brody and Feniks usually participates in these if you want to PM them.

Waiting for BanTx to let me know more about it, or Paul. They mentioned he simmed before, so I was wondering about it as well.

[TACKS]

i'm in Canada and i'm never sure if one of us is gonna get charged with international fees or some shit like that. just DM me. @ILLMALEC

[Zach]

Add you on twitter.

Looking to gain 1 or 3 more people and start this probably around 7-8 PM EST.

[comahan]

@comahan tweet me

[SBH]

9195594342 or @spanther19

[KCJ58]

I'm in, if there is room. 310-415-3060 ,will he sim this using NBA2K15 or something else

[thenewfeature06]

I want innnnnnnnnnn

[SP]

Cap or no cap?

[comahan]

Are we using the sim as the indicator of how we drafted, or just a fun thing to do in the end? Because drafting a real team and drafting a 2k team are two incredibly different things.

[Paul]

yeah I have no desire to set any rules or anything Zach, this is your thing. I think Bantx was just going to sim it after we're done, just for fun. I'm down with either cap or no cap.

[Zach]

Cap or no cap?

Are we using the sim as the indicator of how we drafted, or just a fun thing to do in the end? Because drafting a real team and drafting a 2k team are two incredibly different things.

I think bantx can give us more info when he gets on. And I would say using the sim, which as you indicated Commie is different. I mean, I would draft Korver 3/4 round for a draft, but on 2k he is like a 60something.

[Zach]

Or we can just draft and vote for our teams, and for fun at the end BanTx can sim. I think thatd be best, right?

[SP]

I'd prefer to draft for real life. I don't know who is/isn't good on 2k.

[SP]

Or we can just draft and vote for our teams, and for fun at the end BanTx can sim. I think thatd be best, right?

Yeah, this.

[Paul]

Agree with SP

[Zach]

Aight, we will do that then. And if BanTx doesnt want to, he wont feel obligated to doing the sim.

We got 10 people, I will do a random for the order.

[thenewfeature06]

4439261032 or just dm meeee

[SP]

I'm omnipresent.

[Zach]

10 man teams for this upcoming year? I would say 3 years, but it would greatly diminish some players appeal.

Putting up thread now. Remember, for this year, not future.

[Paul]

Cap? No Cap? I'm down for superteams.

[SBH]

Cap? No Cap? I'm down for superteams.

^ have the same question before I pick

[Zach]

No cap is easier, but having a cap makes it more strategized.

Its up to the majority tbh.

[SBH]

i like cap but don't particularly care

[thenewfeature06]

no cap

[KCJ58]

I say no cap to make all things easier

[Paul]

No Cap. Because we haven't done one of those in awhile and I don't want to do math.

[Zach]

No cap it is, and for this year only. SBH start it up son.

[SP]

I'd like cap if contracts were actually representative of how good a player is.

[BanTx]

Yeah I was just going to sim for fun to see how our teams do. I usually just set up the draft order on 2k once we get the order and will make the teams after we finish. But no cap or cap is fine with me.

8177934250 is my number

[TACKS]

I generally prefer cap but with us being so close to free agency it seems silly to do a cap draft when a lot of key players will have very different contracts in a month from now.

[BanTx]

We're going into this season assuming everyone is healthy right? Before I make my pick.

[Zach]

Yes

10 char

[Zach]

I tweeted at Tackle before BanTx picked. :/

[SP]

...so?

[Zach]

...so?

He is on now, probably about to pick. Then I have mine ready.

[Zach]

Guys, I made a fuck up. Somehow I didnt add fenikz to the list but added his contact info. So I texted him offering him my pick, and he can take it or be the last pick. My bad :/

[Zach]

Waiting for his decision, either mine or his pick should be up soon.

[Zach]

I have to get ready for a little 4 hour work day. Once Fenikz lets me know his decision I will text one of you.

Just please remember that there is 11 now, so newfeature doesnt get back to back. Thanks guys, sorry about that.

[comahan]

Just give him my spot so its still at 10, ill judge all the squads at the end

[TACKS]

How are we gonna handle guys who are out with injuries?

edit - nevermind, didnt see bantx's post

[-DK-]

Too late to join?

[SBH]

i wouldn't be opposed

[SP]

May as well make it an even 12.

[comahan]

Skip me and remove me from all of it, I'd much rather judge than participate

[towelie]

i want in so someone else join to make it 14? or may i be 13?

[SP]

You can replace Commie.

[KCJ58]

Well this is fun

[Zach]

DK and towelie need contact info.

Both will be added at the bottom. Who is DK?

[towelie]

@wmchs3 dm moi

[Zach]

It doesnt say you have a twitter?

[WMD]

Didn't realize this was starting up, I gotta deeply analyze everything and take copious notes. I'll make my amazing pick soon.

[Paul]

Goddanm you late people making me wait longer.

[towelie]

It doesnt say you have a twitter?
well the internet is just full o lies.

https://twitter.com/wmchs3

[Zach]

Gotcha fam. newefeature also knows he will be up. lets get this shit going.

[Brodie]

So I'm not in? I HAD TO WORK TODAY, KIDS. NOT ALL OF US LAZE AROUND.

[towelie]

So I'm not in? I HAD TO WORK TODAY, KIDS. NOT ALL OF US LAZE AROUND.
hop in and take the rear!

[Zach]

So I'm not in? I HAD TO WORK TODAY, KIDS. NOT ALL OF US LAZE AROUND.

You can join in at the end if you provide contact info.

Also, WMD WHAT THE FUCK BRO.

[SP]

30 teams! 30 teams!

That would actually be fun, though. Even if it would take forever.

[thenewfeature06]

WMD just pick Brandon Jennings and call it a day

[Zach]

This is going to be stupid if we have to put time limit on it.... like, we hsould be able to just text or tweet and tell someone they are up.

Its been 30 minutes since he said he would pick. Come on bro....

[Zach]

Who the fuck is -DK-?

[SP]

Don't know.

[Zach]

Fuck that WMD has until 8 and newfeature will be up. Thats bullshit saying your pick will be up soon and then just leave. We should be at least two rounds deep in this bitch.

[Brodie]

I'll be in then I guess. Number is 734-778-3567.

[Zach]

Ill add you Brodie.

[Paul]

WMD you danm cocksucker.

[Zach]

Newfeature and I will both have picks ready at 8, and then we will give whoever -DK- is until 930 PM EST then Towelie will be up, and I already have a way to get him and Brody.

[SP]

If everything is sorted out for after do we need to skip WMD when he knows he's up?

[Zach]

I mean, I feel like if we skip him and DK for two picks they will basically just back out of this competition....

[Brodie]

He's here, I'm forcing him to pick now

[SP]

Unskip

[Zach]

WMD send me a big board for your next pick, or another way we can contact you please.

We should be able to knock this second round out asap, if people know -DK- thatd help too.

[WMD]

You don't need a board. Found out this draft existed at 7 and made my pick at 8. I'll be around.

[Zach]

Whoever -DK- is will be up until 930 PM. Then we will have two people up who will go by fast.

[TACKS]

I'm assuming DK is DraftKing (Baines).

[Zach]

I'm assuming DK is DraftKing (Baines).

Do you have a way to get a hold of him?

[-DK-]

6138994771

[Zach]

Here we go guys, we will get this going.

[Zach]

Brodie texted and knows he is up, Towelie be ready please.

[towelie]

dk is up

[Zach]

DK was tweeted at, then I will be with mine and thenew will be texted as well.

[TACKS]

bold move towelie taking the 2nd best center in the gif you posted.

[towelie]

bold move towelie taking the 2nd best center in the gif you posted.
yeah i kinda regretted after sending in the pick to mr silver.

[Zach]

Its okay, Ill take Gasol guys.

[SP]

I really wanted to take someone else so I was hoping everyone better than him would go before my pick but nooooooo.

[fenikz]

so this is 1 year right?

[Paul]

SP severely fucked up my plan.

[Zach]

Yes sir

[WMD]

SP severely fucked up my plan.

You planned on filling your team with punk bitches??

[Paul]

A punk bitch that's built like a god! He can also rebound and do some other shit.

[Zach]

Tweeted at TACKLE just now.

[fenikz]

you can send my trophy to PO Box 666, Phoenix, AZ, 85310

[Zach]

TACKS said that he will be picking soon. Glad to see the end of the day going a lot better.

[TACKS]

pick will be up shortly.

zach, so we are operating under the assumption that anyone who suffered an injury that ended their season will be back healthy for this?

[Zach]

Correct.

[Brodie]

Paul George ruptured another part of his leg while you posted that gif.

[WMD]

Paul George ruptured another part of his leg while you posted that gif.

The most important part too. THE PART THAT BENDS

[fenikz]

Paul George ruptured another part of his leg while you posted that gif.

[SP]

Paul you bastard.

[Zach]

Clock starts tomorrow at 12 pm EST so you west coast fuckers get proper sleep. I work until 4 so ill check on the progress on my break. Decent first day gents. Lets try for 3/4 rounds tomorrow and finish this bitch Friday. Zach out.

[Brodie]

Fenikz deserves to be beaten for stealing Gobert from me.

[SP]

I will beat him for you.

[Zach]

Left my BB with three people for my next two picks.

[SBH]

kind of forgot it wasn't a cap draft when i made my picks. not that i'm unhappy, but a little lackluster considering guys i passed on

[Brodie]

Teague and LeBron were both the right picks there. Draymond eh, but he's a really good fit next to LeBron.

[thenewfeature06]

Going to work until 930-10 somebody just text me when im up

[BanTx]

where the hell is Dk

[towelie]

where the hell is Dk
probably at work. i'm not even sure if i should be accessing this from my new job.

[KCJ58]

has anyone tried to contact him?

[SP]

Obligatory

7G9yS2-x5sA

[Zach]

Towelie was tweeted at, and is up until 6:45. Lets get this going guyzzz

[Zach]

Texted -DK- he has until 730

[Zach]

God damn it fuck you dk

[Zach]

WMD Is up until 8 pm

[-DK-]

I'm da best.

[towelie]

korver and kawhi why?

[Brodie]

Monta Ellis over Korver, Danny Green and Bledsoe why?

[thenewfeature06]

Monta has it all apparently.. No but he is a guy who can score pretty easily

[Zach]

SP is up until 9

[Paul]

Ain't nothing wrong with Monta!

[Paul]

Awesome WMD. You dick.

[Zach]

Fenikz up until 9:33 and he knows via text.

[towelie]

Monta Ellis over Korver, Danny Green and Bledsoe why?
Because offense! Korver is limited and I got green anyways. Bledsoe would have been good but I don't like his match with kyrie.

[SBH]

the idea of a monta/kyrie backcourt makes me nauseous

[BanTx]

PG/Wiggins/Durant/Love/Noah


My team is looking stacked.

[Zach]

I actually thought Beal mightve fell to me :/

[towelie]

the idea of a monta/kyrie backcourt makes me nauseous
Elab please I need validation

[SBH]

Elab please I need validation

it's not in a good way. although Kyrie has been fine with another ball-dominant player this year, so maybe it could work

[towelie]

it's not in a good way. although Kyrie has been fine with another ball-dominant player this year, so maybe it could work
Yeah I figured you were being a Nancy.

[Paul]

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Bradley Beal
SF: Demarre Carroll
PF: Carmelo Anthony
C: Tyson Chandler

That's balance folks!

[Zach]

I think I would put my money on Pau Gasol over Carmelo.

[BanTx]

PG: Ty Lawson
SG: Andrew Wiggins
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Love
C: Joakim Noah

Lawson going to average like 15 assist a game with this squad.

[KCJ58]

these are all all-star teams, every lineup will be good

[BanTx]

But mine is going to be better

[fenikz]

i won in round 2, the rest is just to look pretty

[SBH]

you all lose because hassan whiteside

[Zach]

Whiteside.... lol

[Zach]

Well thats all for tonight. SP is definitely in bed. Good job with the night yet again.

[TACKS]

I realize he's a tricky fit because he's a guard who's not a 3pt shooter but how the hell did D-Wade fall to 57. *shrug* Glad he did doe.

[Brodie]

I was going to take him on my next go round if he kept falling. Whatever though.

[TACKS]

I kinda wanted him as a super 6th man but I'll probably just end up starting him.

[Brodie]

I am conflicted with my point guard decision. Dammit.

[KCJ58]

I am conflicted with my point guard decision. Dammit.

just draft Rando

[TACKS]

I am conflicted with my point guard decision. Dammit.

You probably have enough shooting that you could justify taking the guy we know you want to take.

[BanTx]

I realize he's a tricky fit because he's a guard who's not a 3pt shooter but how the hell did D-Wade fall to 57. *shrug* Glad he did doe.

I was close to grabbing him, but he's 33 with some injury problems and this is in a span of 3 years.

[SP]

No it isn't

[KCJ58]

this is in a span of 3 years.

so this is news to everyone because besides this post when did you say this to everyone? Besides in the middle of the draft? sketchy.

[BanTx]

Zach mentioned last time I mean the last time we did a draft like this it was for 2 seasons and Zach stated he wanted this to be for 3 years.

[SP]

Zach mentioned last time I mean the last time we did a draft like this it was for 2 seasons and Zach stated he wanted this to be for 3 years.

No cap it is, and for this year only. SBH start it up son.

(5 char)

[BanTx]

mustve just read what he said in the rdt then

[BanTx]

I shouldve drafted an all white team and named them Caucasian Invasion

[towelie]

I shouldve drafted an all white team and named them Caucasian Invasion
or Larry Bird's Vision. or keep your black team and name them south africa.

[Zach]

mustve just read what he said in the rdt then

I dont see anything about next three years??

Anyways, SP until 1 pm est. Lets get this shit rolling today.

[fenikz]

No cap it is, and for this year only. SBH start it up son.

so this is 1 year right?

Yes sir

def 1 year

[towelie]

i remember reading 3 year somewhere too so bantz isn't crazy.

[SP]

I dont see anything about next three years??

Anyways, SP until 1 pm est. Lets get this shit rolling today.

Look in the draft thread.

[Zach]

My bad it didnt appear bold so i thought it was still you.

Newfeature has been texted.

[Zach]

10 man teams for this upcoming year? I would say 3 years, but it would greatly diminish some players appeal.

This could be what yall are talking about...

[Zach]

PG - John Wall
SG - Eric Gordon
SF - Andre Iguodala
PF - Pau Gasol
C - Marc Gasol

Now that is sexy.

-DK- was texted, has until 1:05

[towelie]

i picked.

[TACKS]

giannis was a steal.

[fenikz]

I almost took him but I didn't like any of the PG left after Lowry

[Brodie]

Pacers were 26-17 with Hill and he averaged 16.1/4.2/5.1 with limited turnovers. He's underrated, dangit. Plus, he fits my fast paced offense with shooters at 1-4, an elite rim protector and a slasher (Buckets).

Also, Giannis.

Also also, none of my starters turned the ball over two times a game last year. Eat it.

[fenikz]

you know you love my team

[Paul]

PG - John Wall
SG - Eric Gordon
SF - Andre Iguodala
PF - Pau Gasol
C - Marc Gasol

Now that is sexy.

-DK- was texted, has until 1:05

I was going to give you shit for the total lack of 3pt shooting, but Gordon and Iggy shot above their respective career averages this past season. Though iggy is still average at best at it.

[thenewfeature06]

Reke was a good pick I was thinking about grabbing as my point guard but it was a little early...

Rose
Bledsoe
Parsons
Bosh
Boogie

[Zach]

I was going to give you shit for the total lack of 3pt shooting, but Gordon and Iggy shot above their respective career averages this past season. Though iggy is still average at best at it.

Yeah. Honestly if you think of it, I will run the Spurs offense, and 3/5 of my team is better than what the Spurs have. Kawhi (it pains me to say) is better than Iggy, and I would say Pau / Duncan is a push. So I have made their team even better overall imo.

[towelie]

Reke was a good pick I was thinking about grabbing as my point guard but it was a little early...

Rose
Bledsoe
Parsons
Bosh
Boogie
would've gone with someone else but i want his versatility off the bench.

[Paul]

I realize he's a tricky fit because he's a guard who's not a 3pt shooter but how the hell did D-Wade fall to 57. *shrug* Glad he did doe.

I was REALLY debating on taking him and Iggy with my last two picks and putting together the 2012 National team, but that would've made my 3PT shooting from the wings miserable.

[Zach]

I was REALLY debating on taking him and Iggy with my last two picks and putting together the 2012 National team, but that would've made my 3PT shooting from the wings miserable.

Technically Iggy shot at the league average for the past two years. Two years average 3 point % is .355, Iggy is at .351

[Zach]

WMD up until 3:30

I see he deletes my visitor messages, so I wont bother with em.

[Zach]

Tacks has until 6:07

[BanTx]

PG: Ty Lawson
SG: Andrew Wiggins
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Kevin Love
C: Joakim Noah

6th man: Joe Johnson

[Paul]

Shit, I wanted JJ.

[WMD]

Shit, I wanted DF.

[Zach]

KCJ has until 630. Texted him. We doing well today, hopefully get through the upcoming round too.

[Zach]

BanTx said to skip him for now, so Tacks is up until 8:25

[Zach]

Fenikz was told at 8:01 he was up, so SP will be up at 9:01

[Zach]

WMD is up until 10:14

[Zach]

Can't believe Bradley fell this far....

So going to be, work in the A.M. until 3 p.m. EST. I will have a break and Ill send my BB for my next pick to someone.

[fenikz]

I can, metrics wise he is around 200th

[Brodie]

Oh look I'm Marcus I steal Corey's players.

[WMD]

Tyson Chandler was picked in the 3rd Round fella

[-DK-]

Good call

[Brodie]

Well this isn't the right thread

[towelie]

Well this isn't the right thread
drunk internet is hard. your turn mdear.

[Brodie]

This is your reminder that Gallo averaged 18.6/4.8/1.9 while shooting 40% from 3 on 7 attempts and got to the line 4.2 times a game in the second half.

[KCJ58]

Nvm I read Gallo and thought you were talking about baseball

[fenikz]

Corey just regale in my glory

[Zach]

I can, metrics wise he is around 200th

13.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, .428 percent field-goal shooting, .352 percent 3-point shooting. League average is .449% FG and .35 3PT.

And I am guessing you are using basketball-reference for your metrics?

[Zach]

newfeature until 1:50

[Zach]

WMD is up until 2:43

[TACKS]

fine WMD, i'll just have to take the other isiah thomas.

[fenikz]

Millsap is spelled incorrectly in the draft thread, almost freaked out for a second

[Zach]

Texted KCJ, its been an hour for SBH with a text message.

KC has until 6, then next may pick.

[SBH]

Sorry I'm out and on my phone. Trying to come up with my picks

[Zach]

Sorry I'm out and on my phone. Trying to come up with my picks

Youre fine, you can text them to me if need be.

[SBH]

when you realize you picked backups for positions you already have backups for....

[Zach]

BanTx said to skip, Tackle has until 734

[WMD]

Nooooooooo

Donatas was miiineeee

[Brodie]

How many rounds is this again? 10 or 12?

[Zach]

10. We have one last round.

[SBH]

ah shit, that makes my most recent two picks even worse

[Zach]

Its been ten the whole time.

[SBH]

not arguing that, just realizing how badly i screwed up

[Zach]

I feel ya. I think I got Nerlens too early. A lot of good bigs went behind him.

[towelie]

is dk on clock?

[fenikz]

skip him, youre up

[WMD]

I feel ya. I think I got Nerlens too early. A lot of good bigs went behind him.

It's never too early for Nerlens.

[towelie]

skip him, youre up

like, really? i don't wanna be rude. one more person tell me to go ahead and pick.

[WMD]

DeRozan is gone. Round 6.

[fenikz]

been 2 hours clock is 1, so i'd say skip

[Brodie]

Ctrl F bantx

[BanTx]

fixed damnit

[WMD]

Lance Stephenson eh?

http://replygif.net/i/132.gif

[BanTx]

He needs a change of scenery from the shitastic hornets so he will become Pacers Lance Stephenson with my amazing team.

[towelie]

pick is in. all yours adam brody.

[Brodie]

Two elite rim protectors, three point shooting and a lack of turnovers. That's how I roll.

[WMD]

the Lance Stephenson pick was for Bantx. DK has two picks to make.

[KCJ58]

What's the deal with the clock today?

[fenikz]

id def say DK is skipped, just texted zach

[Brodie]

Everyone saw my completed team and gave up.

[fenikz]

hes got jokes

[Brodie]

It's okay you think you can compete with my team. Normal incorrect feelings.

[fenikz]

dizB1P5z_bk

[Brodie]

Your team would cry when the threes reigned hell fire.

[KCJ58]

I didn't realize we had a bunch of children on this forum

[fenikz]

Kobe is going to be a terrible influence on Riley

got him.

[KCJ58]

What ever floats your scrot

[WMD]

My team will reign supreme. BELIEVE THAT.

[Zach]

I fixed where BanTx picked Lance, not DK. Will put my last pick up and then we go from there. This should be done tonight.

What also fill you in on how we will judge it tonight after mowing.

[thenewfeature06]

Shoutout to bantx and zach for making this happen

[fenikz]

done

PG Kyle Lowry - Patty Mills
SG James Harden - Anthony Morrow
SF Trevor Ariza - Nicolas Batum
PF Tim Duncan - Terrence Jones
C Rudy Gobert - Robin Lopez

[Zach]

So here is my thoughts on how to determine the winner.

Do a random generator to have 6 matchups, with one bye for each of the first two rounds

And by doing a bye it would be like this

First round - 1 bye and 6 matchups

Second round - 1 bye and 3 matchups

Third round - Final Four

Fourth round - Championship.

[BanTx]

works for me

[fenikz]

dibs on the Rockets or Spurs

[Zach]

dibs on the Rockets

For BanTx sim? I got 76ers then!

[Paul]

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Bradley Beal
SF: Demarre Carroll
PF: Carmelo Anthony
C: Tyson Chandler

BN: Tony Parker
BN: Leandro Barbosa
BN: Luol Deng
BN: Derrick Favors
BN: Marcin Gortat

[Zach]

So I use wikipedia to find peoples schools and overseas teams. While on LeAndro's, it says that he is 6'3 with a 6'10 wingspan. Damn.
