This year, we have another exhilirating season where legends thrive and haters walk. Returning champion Xynic hopes to keep what he won, but with adversaries like Bodo and Jawa in the race, his workload is large.

LOL

Anywho, welcome to the Fantasy Basketball Discussion thread. We can chat, discuss trades, ask for advice (We are playing with new players, round them out for future competitions aight?). All to be won is bragging rights. But sometimes, that's fun to have, right Xynic? ;)

So anyways, here are our 10 teams:

1. Bodo - Father Slam Dunk
2. donaldbain - donaldbain (Original team name, I know)
3. Lightning - w1cked
4. Xynic - #Ambition (Returning Champion)
5. Summerside24 - The Jordan's (Why tf did you put a ' in there? Didn't need it lol)
6. Jawa - Sandcrawlers
7. Kevy - KushTeam
8. Transit - TransitTramplers
9. regifan - AllStars
10.

Bleh, who is Mapleleafs?

regifan

My number 1 point guard might be going down next week D:

Lightning
01-14-2012, 12:35 AM
I apparently have a Center whos going to be out for 3-4 Months. Hell if I know anything so I switched him out with some guy.

Bodo
01-14-2012, 03:43 PM
Lightning, you got some good guys on the team there. Randolph has always been a 20 point 10 rebound a game beast. Camby can board and block, gets a couple assists too. Horford is an undersized center, but he's so athletic that they consider him one of Atlanta's main staples. He's good. Nene, Josh Smith, are both solid defensivemen. Josh Smith will produce points, FG%, rebounds, steals, blocks, and as far as big men are concerned, he does aight with assists too. Nene's just a beast tho. Strong, athletic, surprisingly quick...

SUcks for you tho, cuz 2 of your centers (Randolph and Horford) will be out 2 months+. And they're both on cruddy enough teams that they'll play to the very last game to gain position in their playoffs.

Basketball bored :/

Lightning
01-14-2012, 05:36 PM
Whos this person?


Also, yeah idk how good my team is tbh.

Bodo
01-14-2012, 06:05 PM
Lightning, it's a good team. Ur gonna get boards, blocks, steals, points, FG%...
Ur gonna need 3's, assists, Free throws made... just lack of those might get to ya

Kevy
01-14-2012, 09:46 PM
My leading guards are out, wtf. :(

Bodo
01-16-2012, 12:43 AM
By the way, I am up for trades. Send proposals, expect counter proposals!

Jawa
01-16-2012, 01:13 AM
Xynic and I tied. :(

I have to revamp my team. I'll try tomorrow. :/

Xynic
01-16-2012, 01:38 AM
Atleast we never lost to each other :)

Lightning
01-16-2012, 01:49 AM
what, there was already a win/loss?

Bodo
01-16-2012, 12:02 PM
So uh, does anyone need any help/advice/questions answered?

Transit
01-17-2012, 09:05 AM
I sure do. Please give suggestions to my team lol. I just picked up Kahwi Leonard.. he seems pretty hot last game

Killua
01-17-2012, 02:56 PM
Couldn't make it, have fun.

Bodo
01-18-2012, 12:51 AM
Real unfortunate Killua :(
I held out the best I could. I'm sorry

Transit, how much do you know about basketball?


And don't be afraid to toss me offers guys! Players for trade! None of you butts traded me in football neither :(
Gah, haters.

Transit
01-18-2012, 05:25 AM
Basically know a little bit about the positions's role, offense or defense.

What are OR../ST/TO/TECH means? Are there any specific roles that can tend to get more points in these areas?

Bodo
01-18-2012, 02:20 PM
OR is offensive rebounds
ST is steals
TO is Turnovers
TECH is Technical Fouls

Mainly if you can find yourself a good scorer, they tend to be the most useful as they provide points, FG%, 3's, FT's, etc etc, but that's why all the good scorers are taken early rounds picks. But the thing is when looking at players, you have to find one that provides the most overall statistical output. For example, Lebron James probably has some of the best statistical outputs around. He scores, scores a good %, gets boards, assists, steals, FT's, shoots 3's, bleh bleh bleh. But to have your best chance to win week after week, you'll need some decent scorers.

Bodo
01-19-2012, 03:12 AM
Gargh!
I need to know which of you pays attention. I'd like to determine which order of trades I'd like to hit up first.

Lightning
01-20-2012, 12:54 AM
idk, one time I was winning 12-3 then I was winning 8-6 then I am winning 11-4 now idk whats up.

Bodo
01-20-2012, 05:13 AM
Trust me, scores go wild crazy all week. I know xD

regifan
01-20-2012, 09:57 PM
Trust me, scores go wild crazy all week. I know xD

That's what happened with me last week. You were winning 6-8 for the majority of the week, then I was winning 8-7 at once, and I lost to you 12-3 when the week ended. XD

Bodo
01-21-2012, 03:49 AM
Yup, I hate those kinda weeks too lol. Darn them.

Transit
01-21-2012, 10:08 PM
I'm really tempted by your offer, Bodo D:

Sucks both of our top players went down

Ayso24
01-22-2012, 01:44 AM
who has wade? i laughs :lol:

Bodo
01-22-2012, 03:36 PM
I just wanna trade lol. That's all.

Transit
01-24-2012, 10:28 AM
I'm so thrashed man :(

Didn't start Derrick Rose = Big c'mon man for me..

Bodo
01-24-2012, 03:37 PM
Dwayne Wade For Trade.

Bodo
01-27-2012, 04:10 AM
Gawd you guys suck at basketball ;<

Killua
01-28-2012, 06:34 AM
Dwayne Wade For Trade.

Wait, why are you trading Wade? :(

Bodo
01-28-2012, 02:35 PM
Just to try to encourage trading around here lol.

regifan
01-31-2012, 01:22 AM
Meh, I am willing to trade anyone on my team.

Transit
01-31-2012, 05:58 AM
It'll be a miracle if I can finish with a winning record ;s

regifan
01-31-2012, 12:26 PM
It'll be a miracle if I can finish with a winning record ;s

I was happy that I won last week after two weeks of huge losses.

Bodo
01-31-2012, 09:04 PM
Sweet... regifan, I'll propose a trade to you here shortly.

Transit, you'll be fine. Imo, drop Prince and Hamilton and Splitter and pick up OJ Mayo, George Hill, and take a chance on Kaman. He's a decent center, I'm sure he'll be traded to a place that needs him and he could be important for you in later weeks.

Transit
02-01-2012, 09:22 AM
Okay thanks for the tip. It seems I am the most active one on the waivers though...

regifan
02-01-2012, 10:18 PM
Bodo, your offer was good but it was not convincing.

Bodo
02-02-2012, 04:31 AM
Transit, I've won a couple seasons using the waivers aaaaaaall year long, trust me. Had some 60+ moves one season.

Well regi, that's fine lol. I'll be aight.


So question... your biggest surprises outta your picks, who are they?

Mine is Brandon Jennings. I mean WOW. Dude can make it rain.

Ayso24
02-02-2012, 09:48 AM
me thinks no1 likes basketball anymore :P

regifan
02-02-2012, 12:17 PM
For me, it's Marcin Gortat or Carlos Boozer.

Bodo
02-03-2012, 02:45 AM
I would say Gortat has been more surprising outta the two.

Dany X
02-03-2012, 06:42 AM
Bodo can you accept my friendship please? I need to PM you about an trade that I think it might interests you...

Xynic
02-03-2012, 09:52 PM
Paul Millasap for me. Also Greg Monroe is pretty surprising as well.

Bodo
02-04-2012, 02:32 PM
I mean outta ur own picks Xynic lol.

Dany, why not here?

internal master
02-04-2012, 02:35 PM
well here is my team
NINJA MASTER

Xynic
02-04-2012, 07:43 PM
I mean outta ur own picks Xynic lol.
Yea I picked them in my other leagues.
From this league, none is too much of a surprise since it began after the NBA Season already started, but I guess I'll say Bynum.

Transit
02-05-2012, 04:17 AM
Not my pick, but Drew Gooden was pretty good (from waivers).

Bodo
02-06-2012, 03:43 AM
I think OJ Mayo's a better pickup ;D

Dany X
02-06-2012, 05:24 AM
I mean outta ur own picks Xynic lol.

Dany, why not here?

Because this is nott a trade thread? whatever...

Do you have any Torchic (?) non-base? I have a base one that I would like to trade for a non-base one...

Bodo
02-06-2012, 07:07 PM
Oh... uh... wtf? I thought u were talking something else. Nah, I have a trade thread somewhere.

Transit
02-08-2012, 10:11 AM
Should be a fun week this week :D My stats are really close to Xynic's

regifan
02-11-2012, 01:39 AM
Whole team, except for Chris Paul, FT.

Transit
02-11-2012, 11:46 AM
Jeremy Lin is a boss..

Bodo
02-11-2012, 08:52 PM
Wooooowzors... anyone part of Lin-sanity yet? D:

Xynic
02-11-2012, 09:28 PM
His production is going to be high until Melo and Amare get back. The offense is obviously going to have to run through those 2 again, thus reducing the performance of Lin. However you have to appreciate the tremendous numbers he put up, besides the turnovers.

Transit
02-12-2012, 07:50 AM
It's hard to tell. Give them time and we'll see if Melo can work well with Lin.

Xynic
02-12-2012, 12:02 PM
How is it hard to tell lol. Obviously everyone's production is going to go down once your 2 main stars return. They aren't going to rely on Jermey when they face actual competetion like the Thunder, Bulls and Heat. Lin is good, but definately not that good.

Bodo
02-12-2012, 07:48 PM
Yeah I'm afraid once people look into him it'll be easy to stop him and send him back to the bench, but you know, at least he's got a real ball story to tell back home now =/.
He did just lead the Knicks to five straight victories without their two main stars, I think he's definitely deserve to take a shot at the role they're missing. If he can run the ball and Carmelo and Amare get their shots off of him I think he'd be pretty determined to run that just cuz of where he used to be even 2 weeks ago. Still, Knicks badly need that PG and Lin should have his shot there when Amare and Carmelo come back. Who knows, maybe they'll find the piece that they need in Lin?

donaldbain
02-12-2012, 10:57 PM
Carmelo Anthony FT.

Barkley2009
02-15-2012, 02:34 AM
Linsanity baby :)

Xynic
02-16-2012, 10:38 PM
Willing to trade 1 or 2 centers from my team, have too many. I got Howard, Bynum, Chandler, Camby, Kaman and Griffin.

regifan
02-17-2012, 12:52 AM

Check my team for Griffin?

Xynic
02-17-2012, 01:13 AM
If you want him, propose a deal.

Bodo
02-20-2012, 04:52 PM
I tossed ya one Xynic. Btw guys, Baseball thread is up. This will be a much MUCH more prepared league, prizes and ante's are to be discussed in that thread. Give your input! I'm looking to make this the best league I can so yeah, talk it up for me! Thanks.

Transit
02-24-2012, 08:16 AM
Proposed one to you too Xynic.

Bobo I might take part in your noob league, if I have time :D

Xynic
02-27-2012, 08:17 AM
Trading my centers (Bynum, Chandler, Pekovic, or Howard), please give me a DECENT offer! Thanks!

Looking for a nice SG or SF.

regifan
02-27-2012, 04:41 PM
Everyone except for Chris Paul, Al Jefferson, and Marcin Gortat is for trade.

Bodo
02-28-2012, 06:38 PM
I'll trade just about anyone minus Rose and Aldridge.

Xynic
02-29-2012, 12:06 AM
Smh too many bad offers, hopefully my team will do fine with just pickups :/

Bodo
02-29-2012, 02:46 AM
I don't see you making any offers Xynic :(

Xynic
03-04-2012, 11:13 PM
Well the offers I got sort of scared me away from actually attempting to offer. Cause it mind boggles me on what people think is a fair offer.

Bodo
03-05-2012, 10:43 PM
So you don't think I sent you a fair offer? Well that's disheartening... I don't even remember what I offered.

Xynic
03-05-2012, 11:05 PM
So you don't think I sent you a fair offer? Well that's disheartening... I don't even remember what I offered.
Well not you in particular, I don't really remember the names I just remember a bunch of bad offers for Griffin + Iggy.

regifan
03-05-2012, 11:05 PM
The race for the final playoff spot is really interesting right now.

Xynic - I am terrible at making offers. You can offer if you want, because I am still interested in your Centers.

Xynic
03-05-2012, 11:26 PM
Who are you in the league?

regifan
03-06-2012, 04:13 PM
AllStars.

Xynic
03-06-2012, 05:02 PM
From your team I like Paul, Allen and Pierce, an offer surrounding one or more of these players would probably suit me the best.

Bodo
03-07-2012, 02:48 AM
Xynic is a bad offerer too

regifan
03-07-2012, 04:13 PM
From your team I like Paul, Allen and Pierce, an offer surrounding one or more of these players would probably suit me the best.

Chris Paul is virtually not for trade, but let me think about Allen and Pierce.

Xynic
03-07-2012, 08:57 PM
Xynic is a bad offerer too
How am I a bad offerer if I haven`t made any offers yet?

Jawa
03-08-2012, 02:36 AM
Aaaaaaaaaaand I think that was the first change I made to my team. I still had Bogut in my lineup. xD

Lightning
03-14-2012, 12:02 AM
Did we have to pay anything to play? I forget.

Bodo
03-14-2012, 10:42 PM
Not here... free league lightning

Xynic, no offers is worse than a bad offer if ur calling others out for bad offers :(

Xynic
03-14-2012, 11:24 PM
If only you saw the offers I got :( But I wouldn't know what to offer, if the people offering to me think their offers are fair.

Lightning
03-15-2012, 01:01 AM
Alright. I wasn't sure, just wanted to make sure is all.

Bodo
03-16-2012, 01:18 AM
Well Xynic, sounds like a personal problem to me. Can't judge for what you don't do yourself sir ;x

regifan
03-19-2012, 03:12 PM
One week left until the playoffs begin. Gotta hold on to the last playoff spot. XD

Xynic
03-19-2012, 07:48 PM
Whatever it doesn't even matter, the season is almost done and I'm confident in my team.

regifan
04-16-2012, 04:04 PM
The season ends. It was fun and good luck to all of you in the future.
