NLSC Fantasy Basketball 2019

Basketball is here again. Draft time set at Sunday October 14 at 2pm Pacific time. It seems like a good time (same as last year) where it's early for Philippines, late for Eastern Europe, and midday for NA. Nothing crazy like 2 or 3 am for anybody.

You want me to wake up at 5 AM just to draft?

This how you treat the reigning champion?

I'm fine with the schedule.

That's a perfect time for me Let's hope this year my second pick doesn't have a season-ending injury in the first 6 minutes of the opening night.

Good good... Are all the participating managers active though? IIRC a couple of those abandoned their teams last year...

There was only 1 or 2 that was really inactive as I mentioned in the league thread, rest I saw having changed starting lineups from time to time (when I was checking whom to trade with) or quickly rejected my trade requests.


It can't be avoided that teams eventually get abandoned when the managers see they have no chance of making the playoffs, it happens in most leagues especially with a high number of participants like ours.



I think last season was even more active than the season you won it, should put an asterisk on your championship tbh.

Been thinking about doing waivers with a bidding system to mix things up. What do you guys think?

There's also auction draft, but I think that wouldn't be fair to those who don't show up to the draft, so we'll stick with the standard draft.

Also debating whether to cut pick time to a minute. Shadow asked for it to be cut last year and I didn't do it but then he wound up being the one taking up all the time

I think we've done waiver bids before or was it another league I was in, it sucked in my experience but I'm all for it seeing as how it could be easy to crash and ruin our current waiver system but I didn't do it because it would have been too much of a dick move.



I told y'all, so I punished you with the long draft picks and really made you all pay by winning the league as a reminder of the folly of your ways.

If anything, asterisks should be put on your replies... What's the purpose of the gaps on your stanzas man? Are you expecting us to write an essay or draw some shit on it?

Not familiar with the bidding system so I can't say anything about it though since an elderman says it sucked then perhaps just leave everything as it is. Is there an admin option that autopickers will just pick whoever is the next player on the board (or if they set they're preferred picks for autodraft) without consuming all of the pick time? Or better, is there any option that you can choose if you can swap those players that the autodrafter picked in the round if they're picking ahead of you? I'm on board for a shorter picktime.

write an essay or draw some shit on it?

Whatever floats your boat.

Pretty sure this was brought up last year. Autopicks already automatically happen after ten seconds, so again, those people shouldn't be the ones you are worried about

ooh a fa budget/bidding would be a nice change.

Unlikely that I'll be able to make draft at that time but that's okay with me. I do terrible when I draft anyways, auto-generated picks can't be much worse.

The previous draft schedule was spot on, should've left it how it was... Anyway if it'll be adjusted 3 or 4 hours later to the set time it'll be fine with it

It's the same day of the week and time as last year, so not sure what you're referring to

Nevermind I thought you change the draft schedule. It's just my yahoo settings went to default and it resets the timezone... Everything's sorted now

So no FAB?

It's a go. I just changed it. Will be fun to try something new

Draft time in 6 hours bitches, be there.

Ah crap forgot about the draft time

I need some Cs in exchange for guards

Airberlin you willing to trade Kuz? I'm trying to collect all Lakers lol

Not for Marvin Williams, lol.

PS: You have Ingram and McGee; you've got a long way to go. I have Hart and Kuzma... Maybe I should collect all Lakers. ;]

I also have Randle, who should still be a Laker. How about Marvin Williams AND Etuwan Moore

Tyreke Evans, Avery Bradley, Austin Rivers, Jabari Parker, TJ Warren, Marcin Gortat, and Willie Hernangomez available for trade.

Sad I missed this. This is my first year trying fantasy out. I'll join you guys next year.

Looking to move atleast 1 of my PF's for a guard. Send me some offers.
