Do not underestimate the power of this fully operational Ballsystem.
@deadonthestreet MAKE IT SO

bubbat and bergy haven't been active on the forum for a while; not sure what tinyfist's deal is
yahoo still won't let me renew the league, so I can't just send them re-invites and see if they respond
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

So, let's put @eddy and @y2jake215 in the league. That leaves one spot left for one of those three stragglers if they show up, or to just fill with a random person.

The Rules of the Draft
In the event I do not anticipate finishing the draft via forum in a timely manner, we will stop at the end of an appropriate round and conclude via live draft on the yahoo site.
Drafters are encouraged to accompany their picks with funny photos, videos or stories about their players.
Rules of the League
You have eight starting spots per day: PG, SG, G, SF, PF, F, C and Utility. We use yahoo's positional eligibility. Yahoo's position assignments are sometimes dumb, but they generally err on giving a player more starting positions than they should have, rather than the reverse. If you start sending them emails now, you can probably get them to give Dwight Howard small forward eligibility or something.
Individual players can be looked up on the yahoo site (http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/) if you want to verify their position before drafting.
Roster size is 11 players; this is relatively restrictive, but we have a large league and it prevents hoarding. You get three waiver/FA claims per week; a player takes three days (iirc) to clear waivers once dropped.
Draft will be tracked via spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlkJgl_EVZdidGZkVWFOOUNGZnhLenpsWUNTSWxiU0E . Anyone can edit; just don't screw anything up.
Protocol is to let the person drafting after you know via PM or alert or whatever when you have made your pick and it's their turn. This way people who check the forum less frequently can set themselves up to get emails or something when they are up.
Okay Form, you're on the clock.
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
And woot! First pick!
Team OlajuTron: Legacy is now a go.
I can't in good conscience pick LeBron. I just can't. So I'll take the actual best player in the NBA (gratuitous smug look), Kevin Durant. Homey gonna splode this season.

When KD sucks at every category but PPG, I will have what losers often call what is often called a "moral victory" on my hands. :P
@Phonehand You're up!
you should look at the previous draft threads
this is not how you make a pick

Oh dude, give me some credit. I know what I'm doing. I understand the benefits of an all-around stat stuffer vs. a pure scorer, and still picked Durant anyway. 30 PPG nightly is pretty hard to pass up.
Plus, I literally believe that Durant will continue this trend of improving his handles, passing, and rebounding every season and will be an even more solid all-around player in 2012-2013.
I saw you get bent out of shape by Lebron disrespect last season too, it's cool. I get it.
Jackisreal made a genius pick in Dwight Howard last season, by the way, which would have worked out well for him had Howard not then decided to spend his season being injured and off the court, or else whiny and half-assed when he was on. Nobody could have seen that coming.
I considered Howard myself this season, but that's somebody else's call now.
he's mad at you for not bringing the funny
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat
Moving on!
I see.
There are so many pictures on the internet of Kevin Durant wearing a giant backpack and window pane glasses, like some sort of toddler, and yet I have provided none of them. None of them!
I will try harder in the future.
LEBRON
@cauld is up!
Yes!!!!!! Behold an assortment of pictures featuring Kevin Love:
I read a paragraph on some terrible website explaining that the number of games Kevin Love plays in a year is proportional to the amount of facial hair he has.... I hope he never shaves again.
@fortis is up
@TheBigEasy is up!
And @FirstComradeStalin is up!
Andrew Bynum, come on down!
Isn't he starting to look like Theo Huxtable?
And @jackisreal is up!
