This is going to be the thread for the 2014-15 Yahoo! H2H League -- a 20 team, 9-category dynasty league. This post will hold most important info throughout the offseason.




TBA (Lucky's replacement)   (jayhovaone)

(Nick apparently has said he won't be able to stay in the league. I've PM'ed him to confirm, if he does we have 1 more GM spot available. As of 8/24 a couple folks had posted they'd like in in the thread. I'll follow up with them after hearing back from Nick.)


Welcome Jayhovaone as the replacement for Lucky17's squad!

I've impressed upon him the importance of staying active in this league (sounds like he was a GM early on, but was removed for lack of activity.) He's a GM in the points league and has been active there.

His team has no picks currently but otherwise is made up of:

Boris Diaw
Brian Roberts
Carlos Delfino
Dante Cunningham
David Lee
E'Twaun Moore
Jeff Teague
Josh McRoberts
Marc Gasol
P.J. Tucker
Taj Gibson
Tayshaun Prince
Trevor Ariza
Ty Lawson
Tyler Hansbrough
Zaza Pachulia


---------------------------------------------

I've reached out to the 2 posters who expressed interest in joining the league -- taking over for Nick's To Talented to Fail team.

Once I hear back from Nick that he's in fact not able to continue, I'll figure out which poster will take over Nicks team.

----------------------------------------------

Finally --  I'm tentatively looking at the week of Sep. 22 as the time for the draft.

FWIW, NBA training camps open Sep. 27.

30th pick

Marcus Thornton

31rst pick

Also discussions are being had about some of my bigs. Not Anthony Davis.

TBA (Nick/TTTF's replacement)   (DinoGanga)


Please welcome DinoGanga as the replacement for Nick's Too Talented to Fail team.

I've encouraged him to take his time and get a handle on the relative value of players, depth of the league, etc.

This is his roster:

Amar'e Stoudemire
Andre Iguodala
Deron Williams
Dirk Nowitzki
Dwight Howard
J.J. Redick
Jamal Crawford
Jared Dudley
Jrue Holiday
Kevin Garnett
Paul Pierce
Ray Allen
Tim Duncan
Tony Allen
Tony Parker
Tyson Chandler
---
Pick #34

Just a reminder,  I'm tentatively looking at the week of Sep. 22 as the time for the draft.

Welcome to the league.  The best advice I can give you --- don't make a trade with anyone (except me) because they will take advantage of you.  They're all snake oil salesmen. 

In all seriousness, almost everyone that joins the league gets bombarded with trade offers, makes a few trades, then later in the year says, gee, I wish I'd waited to make these trades until I understood all of the nuances.

I'd add to YH's post, since a prior owner didn't seem to realize this til too late, that this is a full keeper league - you could have a guy for his entire career if you hang on to him.  So young talent is extra valuable, and aging talent less so. 

Welcome to the league Dino and Jay!

RE: Paul George


DO NOT SEND ME A:  "What do you want for Paul George?" PM.

Let me repeat that...

DO NOT SEND ME A:  "What do you want for Paul George?" PM.

If you want to discuss a trade for PG13, send me a real non-lowball trade proposal.

When will anyone think of what Paul George wants for Paul George?  :P

In all seriousness the ploy of "I want Player X, so you should make an offer to me about him" is a bit of a pet peeve in general.  If you want to ask if a guy's available (answer: he is, for the right price), or what kinds of positions/stats I might value, sure, but the first offer better come from the guy soliciting the deal.

How about no stanchions? We have the intelligence and $$$ to fly a little robot car to Mars, land it, and have it drive around for two years relaying data back to earth, but the NBA can't figure out a way to hang a hoop w/o stanchions.

Not that I am bitter or anything...

Agreed.

Normally, this stuff doesn't bother me, but the sheer volume of these types of inquires is pushing me over the top.

The league actually just announced they're expanding the open area under the basket this year, probably partly because of George's injury.  I think their stanchions are already further back than in international ball, so George would've landed flat in a league game.

Just when I think that PG13's injury would not get more depressing. I will never watch the FIBA again.

At least until next month.

Welcome DinoGanga. Good name and good to have you. That team you've inherited cast a long shadow. Nick's leaving marks end of an era.

GC, does this mean we can upload rosters to Yahoo? Let me know if you'd want a hand. I've already got my eye on the now open assistant commissioner spot.
