All are welcome.

**Adam** · 10-20-2009, 12:32 PM

We've got ten players right now, which is solid, but I set the limit at 12

So two more people can join if they're into it

**chrisnu** · 10-25-2009, 03:43 AM

The Timberwolves have waived Antonio Daniels. Apparently, the Cavaliers are interested. I don't know why, they're already pretty stacked at the position (Mo Williams, Daniel Gibson and Delonte West can all play the point).

Bobby Jackson has retired after 12 years in the NBA. The old Kings are continuing to disappear.

The Blazers are going to keep last year's starting lineup intact and bench Andre Miller. A $7 million backup point. I've thought he was a bad fit from the beginning. I wonder where this leaves Jerryd Bayless.

Brent Barry has been waived by the Rockets. He hasn't officially retired yet, but has begun working for NBA TV.

Antawn Jamison will miss the first 10 games of the season with a shoulder injury. They're like the Rockets, except with three players instead of two.

Tyronn Lue has been named director of player development for the Celtics. He hasn't officially retired, and he's only 32, so we'll see if he suits up again.

Kyle Korver will undergo knee surgery to remove bone spurs. He will be out indefinitely.

the fantasy draft's today at 2:00 eastern time

**shaun** · 10-25-2009, 12:57 PM

Reading up on basketball draft strat now. Fear me.

**Kurosawa Fan** · 10-25-2009, 02:06 PM

I've done four mock drafts on Yahoo. I'm not sure that's going to do anything for me, but I was bored and they were entertaining. Two of them pained me to know they were just "mock". Someone took T-Mac in the second round. Can someone in our league take a cue from that guy? Please?

**Ezee E** · 10-25-2009, 03:22 PM

Work until 11ish. Hopefully I make the first round.

We will try to leave T-Mac for you.

I believe that this is the last Oregon State Beaver in the NBA. So sad to go an entire generation and not be able to land another NBA-caliber player.

**EyesWideOpen** · 10-25-2009, 06:50 PM

Not a bad draft, I'm quite happy with my team. I think this is the first year in the 3 that I've been doing it that I didn't get Brandon Roy.

**shaun** · 10-25-2009, 07:39 PM

Not bad. The only true PG I have on my roster is a last round rookie so hopefully I can get away with starting Roy at the point. I had to scramble after chrisnu snaked Calderon from me.

I'm also pleased at the number of shot blockers I managed to get.

**Kurosawa Fan** · 10-25-2009, 07:47 PM

I'm not pleased. The tenth pick sucks.

**Ivan Drago** · 10-25-2009, 08:26 PM

Fuck me, I missed it. Totally forgot about it until I got on here.

But my team looks good...I just need a center.

**chrisnu** · 10-25-2009, 08:56 PM

Not bad, considering my draft placement. I am going to be very weak in some categories, however.

**The Mike** · 10-25-2009, 10:19 PM

Ugh, have been out of town for a wedding, so hoping my draft went well.

**Ezee E** · 10-25-2009, 11:04 PM

Ew. Chris Kaman. That's what I get for looking up news on players. He'll be dropped shortly.

**chrisnu** · 10-27-2009, 02:54 AM

Nicolas Batum will be out 4-5 months after having surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder. My guess is that Martell Webster will start in his place.

The Suns acquired the rights of Jarron Collins, who had been waived by the Blazers.

Glen Davis may face surgery for a right thumb injury sustained during an altercation.

And, uh, Peja just got pwned. Sorry, dude.

**Ivan Drago** · 10-27-2009, 06:23 PM

Anyone want to trade me a center (or two) for a small forward (or two)? I'm overloaded on SFs and need a center.

Looks like he's probably getting suspended too.

**chrisnu** · 10-27-2009, 10:28 PM

Looks like he's going to be out 6-8 weeks following surgery. He threw a punch which broke his hand. Assclown.

Raja Bell is putting off surgery, and will attempt to play with a torn ligament in his left wrist. Ow.

Blake Griffin will be out up to six weeks with a stress fracture of his left kneecap. The Clipper Curse continues. Poor guy.

**Ezee E** · 10-28-2009, 12:35 AM

So why do people put Chris Paul over Lebron James in fantasy drafts? Just don't understand that.

**chrisnu** · 10-28-2009, 12:52 AM

In terms of fantasy points, he performed better than LeBron last year. In roto leagues, I'm not sure why.

**Dukefrukem** · 10-28-2009, 11:59 AM

Good start for the Cs.

**chrisnu** · 10-28-2009, 04:04 PM

Two losses at home for Cleveland all of last year, and they lose their first game this year.

This is the only time where I will root for the Celtics.
