He had first pick in the draft. Having Garnett helps.

And how we let him get Duncan too..... I'm still trying to figure that one out. :rolleyes:

Damn, DB...

I wanted to pick up Parker too, in my effort to corner the market on guards, but I had no more roster space.

Hopefully his unavailabilty will encourage one of my several trade offers out there to be accepted.

Since the problems we are having in fantasy football I figured I'd state this:

yes I know T-Mac is injured, yes he is still in my lineup. I dont want to waste games filling a spot just to get half decent points.

Makes absolutley no difference in a points only game.

You have a 180 day season, and can only fill a spot 82 times. No explanations for who you decide to play or not play and when you decide to play them or not are necessary.

Looking at the results there wasn't really that bad of a pick that allowed him to get Duncan/

The draft went, KG, Lebron, Marion, Nowitzki, Bryant, Wade, Arenas, Tmac, Iverson, Nash, Pierce, Duncan.

Bryant, Wade, Arenas, Tmac, Iverson, Nash, Pierce.....Probably none of those guys should have been picked before Duncan.

Certainly not the last five, anyway. What kept me away from him is that he seems to be becoming injury-prone, which may still prove to be true.

Pierce and Iverson I'll agree with, Arenas to a degree. But Bryant is the main guy in L.A., shaq is getting old and injury prone so Wade is a good choice, Nash was mvp and it was known that Amare was out.

Obviously I think we all have our different views on what makes someone a good pick, and with Manu and Parker getting better it could have caused Duncan's numbers to drop off a little. Thats just my opinion.

I don't think those were bad picks either. Much like RBs in fantasy football, high scoring shooting guards are placed at a premium in fantasy basketball. The difference between Duncan and someone like Jermaine O'Neal is much smaller than the difference between Kobe or T-Mac vs. the alternatives (Jamal Crawford, etc...).

Does someone want to explain to me how Plaw added and dropped Krstic today -- and then Spike picked him up today? What happened to the 2-day waiver time?

Good question. I wondered myself. Under "Recent Transactions" he's showing up as a free agent, though.

DB?

If someone wants to claim Kristic with a higher waiver position than SP, I'm inclined to award him to that person rather than SP, however that's not entirely fair either, since waiver claims are supposed to be secret, presumably to prevent people from deliberately blocking someone else's claim "just out of spite" so to speak, even for a player they don't want.

Unless there's some kind of Yahoo rule that if you pick up a FA and have him less than 24 hours or something and then release him, he remains a FA.

The only thing I can think of is since I picked him up as a FA and had him on my team for only 2:17, maybe Yahoo kept him classified as a FA, since they show Spike picking him up as a FA, rather than on a waiver claim, altho the transaction in which I dropped him shows him going on waivers.

DB?

(Edit: I checked in "Commissioner's Tools" -- they have a function in there where you can change the date that an indivual player's waiver period expires (i.e. if, say, JG puts someone on waivers, the normal two-day period can be shortened or lengthened for that player only, altho I don't know why you'd ever want to do that) -- and it doesn't show Kristic as ever having been on waivers in the first place.)

DB?

(Second Edit: I posted the question on the Yahoo message Board. Trouble is, I cant figure out how to see the responses, if any.)

Boy, this is a game that really requires commissionering.

Right under that box on the right that lists your "Leagues and Teams".

I figured out how to read the meassages, BTW. So far, no responses.

My answer is this: I have no clue why Krstic was added, dropped, and added again without going on waivers first. That's not supposed to happen, so I'm flummoxed.

I'm impressed. Not only did I get a prompt answer from Yahoo, but one that makes sense as well.

I'm surprised that one of us didn't figure this out.

Anyway....

Hello,

Thank you for writing to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports.

When a player is added and dropped on the same day, he will be returned to the player pool as a free agent rather than being placed on waivers.

If your league features a waiver period of one or more days and you see a player signed as a free agent on the same day he was dropped, it is likely because his previous owner added and dropped him on the same day.

Previously, it was possible for a fantasy owner to "tie up" players other teams may be interested in by adding and dropping them on the same day. This will now be prevented in 2005 by allowing these players to remain free agents.

If an owner adds a player and then drops him the following day, he will be subject to your league's waiver rules.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! Customer Care.

Regards,


"Difficult....not impossible"

I actually thought that might be the case (I was gonna yell at Plaw for doing that ); but because it didn't happen like that before, I figured maybe not. Thanks for getting the clarification!

I'm getting pretty sick of Stojakovic and his 9 misses. So hes now up on the trading block along with one of my PG's.

*Edit*

I would trade him and one of my PG's for a higher quality PG, or I would trade him straight up for a PG.
