Injuries and brickfest... what a way to start the week...

[NovU]

So everyone received offers from Qballer? It's good to see Qballer finally on the move! Stay active and fit buddy.

He offered:

Ed Davis
Boris Diaw

For My:

Jusuf Nurkic
Hassan Whiteside

I would have taken this deal if it was 2014 but I think we're in year 2015. Let's re-work this deal a bit if you don't mind. Oh... my KG is gone, a trade chip I used to include in every possible deal.

[air gordon]

Mr whiteside should be carrying a garbage bag in my honor for my Jerome James comments...

Surprised I am up after the JV blowup game and the playing with house money stats whiteside is posting

Mr Donta and Johnson send their regards.

I expect this to be a close matchup. Millsap should be done resting. Bonus stats for d Williams if gays MRI contains some bad news

[NovU]

I didn't think this was gonna be a close match up. I am actually expecting to lose 8-3 or 9-2. Your guys play more games(iirc) and my current build imo is just weak against yours, I unconsciously added blk while diminishing ast and 3s(which were supposed to be my dominant cats) in recent moves.

And damn, Donta and JR. Then Teague rests for your shroeder just at the right time.





I miss Trey Burke, this Luol Deng is worse than his noob teammate Hassan Whiteside.

[Kevin]

Wade and Bryant's still sleeping. Fuck this shit.

I learned from the best *ahem* Limo Wrecks

It's just that it was perfectly timed by Alec Burks' injury and Miami getting rid of small ball/Bosh returned... Thanks again...

What now? Let it go Q... we will never get Covington... Oh by the way, Derozan say hi and see you next week...

[I Hate Mondays]

Wade and Bryant's still sleeping. Fuck this shit.

At least you win turnovers. Probably some high chances at FG% with Bryant out

[air gordon]

one more day to go. i know you're keeping score.

[NovU]

Indeed. I gathered some intel.

3-8 was expected although I'm still hoping for 4-7 or 5-6 in best case scenario.

I will have my first rounder Al Jeff back for the playoffs and trade one big for ast/3pt cats hopely. So my plan is simple. Beat you in pts, fgm which will make our next meeting more interesting.

[air gordon]

You know how pathetic that sounds? Even an expert in a loss lol

Worry about making the dance first...

Q- can you lock the rosters of non playoff teams (come playoff time)? Thanks man

[NovU]

As pathetic as it may sound, I know my team and it would have taken my A game to beat your B game on top of more games your guys play.

Q- can you lock the rosters of non playoff teams (come playoff time)? Thanks man

Why? They also play during our playoffs period. And there is trade deadline coming well before the playoffs anyway.

[Kevin]

Kobe and Wade is on the trading block. Gimme an elite Guard.

[air gordon]

To prevent teams from affecting the outcomes for teams in the playoffs. I wouldn't ask normally but you never know an owner like stress fracture may decide during the playoffs "fuck this, I'm dropping my players". Sucks but you have to consider that happening.

Up up down down b a b a select start...

[NovU]

Hey Q, I just made a trade, how many days/hours before it goes thru? It'd be good to know for next time anyone makes a trade.

[Moz]

Wow I feel sorry for NovU's next opponents from week 14 onwards... So does this mean me, Wet Dreams, and Harden's D are out of the playoff race with both (assumingly) RB4H and NovU locking the top 2 spots of our division?

[NovU]

Why?

Brnadon Knight is by far the best player in this trade and thing's got better for him with all those blessed[?] injuries. Kendall's dead now leaving ice thin in their backcourt rotation. Expect a 20-5-5 player with excellent % from FT and 3ptm. Hassan will get major boost in his role/minutes when MIA decides to call it quits on the season as Wade keeps breaking down like 90's Hyundai. Upside is infinite when it's confirmed Wade's deceased. Mills is solid you know. Wasn't easy giving up all those niceness for low upside injury prone players.

So does this mean me, Wet Dreams, and Harden's D are out of the playoff race with both (assumingly) RB4H and NovU locking the top 2 spots of our division?

It's 8 people playoffs so all of us together can make it. Just secure top 8 record. Gluck.

[Moz]

But then again, as how I understand the playoff seeding format (the top teams in the divisions will advance am I right?), it will eliminate us 3 for playoff spots... so we don't have any options but to veto it... got nothing against you man but I (and perhaps the 2 also) just want a fair chance... again, If the playoffs seeding will be on the format that I understand upon reading the league the settings (correct me if I'm wrong)...

[NovU]

Only the top teams in EACH division are guaranteed a spot in playoffs regardless the record. That's 4 teams only. The other 4 teams are selected by overall record, NOT by ranking in division.

[I Hate Mondays]

I am not taking sides on this one.

https://www.fantasysp.com/trade/nba/364 ... side-mills

I might be the only one somehow trusting this kind of an website, but there is a 6 point deficit here. Usually, when the deficit is bigger than 3, the trade is not fair. But 6...man. Many of the league's utility players are not worth more than 5. Idk about this trade. If the other side is happy with those players we can't stop anything. We just hope we get a fair chance here

[Moz]

Ok ok... I thought that "Division Winners" is just the top 2 spots (since we have 4 divisions the top 2s complete the 8 spots)... carry on...

[shadowgrin]

Ignoring injury record of the players involved, NovU is an outright criminal for getting those players.

But you can only stash injury plagued players for so long that you reach the point of wanting to be rid of them for players that get in games more consistently.

So does this mean me, Wet Dreams, and Harden's D are out of the playoff race with both (assumingly) RB4H and NovU locking the top 2 spots of our division?

lol speak for yourself.

We have 8 playoff spots this season iirc.
Division leaders automatically get a playoff spot, rest of the spots fill out based on team standings.

That's why if a 9th seeded team becomes a division leader, the 8th seeded team is shit out of luck.

[Moz]

Ok ok good to know... As NovU described it earlier... "Noob Mistake"

[NovU]

If it makes you guys feel any better, I initially offered (Frye/Jefferson) for (Kmart/Ryan) but it was a counter offer by airBerlin that I accepted. I don't believe I raped in this deal though at least not as much as some of you guys want to believe. airBerlin's included message was:

Comments from airBerlin:
Interested in doing a trade. Let me know what players you are most interested in from my team and maybe what players you're ok and not ok with giving up. I'm mostly looking to give up depth for some better players (ie: 3 decent players of mine for 2 slightly better of yours.) but i'm willing to do an even swap if the players are right.

As Brewn Shedley noted there's much injury risk involved with the players I took upon. On the other side of the table, I believe airberlin took Knight's status quo as the key in this deal and Hassan's continual success as his risk take.

airBerlin is no fool but a seasoned veteran with some consistent success in this league. He probably felt needs to shake up his team and made a bold move rather than submitting to one's fate like Akunfooya FC. He knows what he's doing. Remember his Unsnubable playoffs team that raped Q in open public? That was epic.

[Moz]

NovU... you sound like Goebbels in the Nuremberg rally... come on tell us he PMed you that he's conceding... kidding man if both Lopez and Martin stay healthy it's a 3-peat

Jesus Christ... I can built a Great Wall of China with all these bricks... Derozan wow...
