GL NBA Fantasy 2017/18

Hoping for some top notch draft banter tbh, although not sure Ibaka taken in the 7th round will ever be beaten.

Ibaka ffs

He was rated 15th or something

He was always overrated due to Blocks he used to get but i think we took it too far

Deron Williams burger jokes are a good second place.

Do we have a date yet for the draft?

15th or 22nd of next month?

Let's shoot for the 15th, if that doesn't work for everyone we can push it back

Season begins 17th

Ahh, that's right they moved it up

How about the 8th

Is it too late for me to get in on this?

Don't we usually do it the Sunday before the season starts? whenever that is.

You all got enough players now?

Depends if Izzy responds or not, i doubt he will so i'm assuming we need one more.

Even with betty?

Counting EG and Betty we have 9 and we can't have uneven numbers obviously.

I wish they would auto generate a better team name than just my First name's team

You can change your name no?

Great Leader Sprucenuce wrote:You can change your name no?

Yeah I see where.

Gonna keep it the auto one for the timbering though lol.

we can do it on the 15th, whatever works for you guys

Yeah I'm in. Send me some tutorials on how this thing works though.

Also at the process of upgrading my wifi at my place at the moment, so might be down and up for the next week or two, but it should be fine for the 15th hopefully.

Basically there's a draft as we have been talking about.

You draft a team based on these categories.

FG%, FT%, 3PTS, PTS, RBS, ASSISTS, STLS, BLKS AND TOs

Each week you will face one of us and you have to win at least 5 of those 9 categories to win.

So obviously draft players with that mind. As i have told you on twitter you can setup your team for the entire week, so don't really worry about time.

The rest of it is the players that aren't drafted will become Free Agents, so you can add them through out the season assuming someone already hasn't. ( very similar to what you are used to with PL fantasy)

Obviously there are trades too, although this rarely happens with us as obviously both sides have to agree and no one wants to seem to want to give up anything.

If you like Yahoo does mock drafts with randoms, to help you understand how it works. I do this most years and i find it helps me prepare.

If you have any questions, i'm here.

Cool

One thing i forgot to mention is the positions you have to draft...

1 PG, 1 SG, 1 G(basically means any guard can go into this slot) 1 SF, 1 PF,  1 F( see G), two Centers, 3 Util( basically a Utility slot, where you can place any player there regardless of position) and 4 bench players.

I think it's a good idea if we nail down the date and time of the draft pretty soon.

Don't want a repeat of last year where everybody forgets to actually be there for the draft

I think a Sunday before the season starts is a good idea which is October 15th but obviously with everyone having time zones we'll need to figure out something which is good for everyone.

15th sounds good.

As for time, speaking from my GOAT GMT+2 time zone, anything between 15h00 - 00h00 sounds good to me.
