Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

As long as people are only looking at Kobe and not Ellis here. Ellis is not that big of a deal. Maybe Champ thinks Amare can rebound, or Sanders will be the next Ibaka. His BLK rate this year is insane. He's had some good games. Has potential. Who knows. I don't think this trade is worth having an aneurism about.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

Maybe he thinks Sanders will take Ilyasova's spot as starter? Maybe he thinks Amar'e will return looking like he did before last season?

Who knows, people in here are always crying for a veto. There's obviously a reason why Champ went through with this trade, it's his team so he should deal with what happens, whether it be good or bad.

It's even worse in baseball. Every trade gets 3 or 4 veto votes. Regardless of the trade. It's kinda funny really.

If it were up to me there wouldn't be any trade vetoes. I shouldn't have a say in a trade Brye & Champ complete just like Brye & Champ shouldn't have a say in a trade me and Aid complete for example.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

Well it's not really that simple Notorious as if AWFUL trades are made the complete fuck up the balance of the league then there needs to be something to protect the league. I don't immensely care in this league as no money is involved but I wouldn't play in a cash league that didn't have a veto rule. People in these leagues have just gone overboard.

Who vetoed this trade and why? 2 of you did it. Based on what?

I can understand that but I have yet to see a trade in this league that completely ruined the balance of the league. I have yet to see a trade that I felt was so bad that it should be vetoed.

As far as the vetoing rule, well yes I can understand having in a cash league but this is no cash league and to the majority of people in here, this isn't even their main league.

I'm pretty sure the two people who vetoed were Magic and WWF, as usual.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

The only ones I think are points scored and 3PM.

Don't see how he hurt himself when it comes FG% & FT% considering he got rid one of the most inefficient players in the NBA in Monta Ellis and Mayo/Sanders have both been efficient from the field this season and I'm sure Amar'e will shoot over 50% when he returns. As far as FT% goes, he added a 95% FT shooter in Jameer Nelson and O.J. is also an efficient FT shooter.

He shouldn't hurt himself too badly in steals. As far as assists goes, he added Jameer Nelson who averages more assists than everyone he traded and O.J. also averages close to 4 a game.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

Umm what? You realize Mayo alone gets about as many 3s per game as Kobe and Ellis combined ya? Then Nelson another almost 2 a game.

Brye improves at points, rebounds, steals and FT%. That's about it. Assists, FT% are a wash. He loses TOs, 3s and Blocks.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

I don't know if he's actually going to start Jameer. Jameer really isn't that good.


And he lost steals really badly.


Amare didn't even shoot over 50% last year and his role will be even more reduced this year. They'll make him adjust to their new system rather than adjust it to suit him, which will hurt his stats.


And I don't see Mayo keeping up this consistency with his FG%.

If Amar'e role is reduced, don't you think that would make him more efficient since he wouldn't have to take as many shots and won't get as much defensive attention as he did last year?

Compared to last season I expect Amare's scoring to take a slight dip but that's it. Everything else will either improve or pretty much be the same. However if I were betting on bet that he'll be more efficient this season than last.

As far as Mayo goes, he'll probably play better once Dirk gets back and he's not the #1 option and doesn't have as much defensive attention.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

And Brye lost Blocks, 3s and TOs really badly. So who cares.

What? Yes he will... he's going to shoot as many open 3s as he gets. If anything, when Dirk gets back he'll have even more open 3s...

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

amare will be the x factor. already know my team can score, it was a matter of improving in other categories and it puts my team in a better position to win it all. make the playoffs, and take it matchup by matchup. i'm aware that jm/aid/mike have powerhouses.

say what you want about kobe. he's no lbj or durant, just scores a ton, and he might end up being a cog in d'antoni's system when nash returns. besides, it's a keeper league, and nobody else really wanted him. my team had to move on.

By the way, I'm also trying to set the record for the most drops and adds of Jared Sullenger. What a trooper.

Re: Fantasy Basketball - **WF Keeper League** - Off-season mode

My team is weak this week with not many games being played for my stars, but I lucked out with the Champ and Brye trade going through today and Champ not setting his roster with his new players.
